Anyone know what happened to Gravette?

[Brguy]

He's fine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YkG0zFkLAg

This video is from 2010. Do you have some sort of mental disability?

[SpankerChief]

If I was DG I'd have slowly bridged that gap of once skater now avid BMX rider see where that ends up?      Yeah I'd bite the bullet and at least roll with that till something else milder but equally outdoorsy comes along. There's not much else to 5050 or Huck yourself down?

[ihatejulio]

Way ahead of his time. The only people who hate this guy think east coast cellar door skate parts are innovative. Heal up soon bud.

[Swithflip]

He’s grinding the never ending rail.

so deep   

[alonelikeastone]

I am very very surprised at how much love her gets here! I thought he would get slapped around way more.

Good for him.. He was one of my fav's on KOTR.

Yeah, guess he was doing just fine in 07

I know a really good older vert guy who had skated 30+ years and quit cold turkey after breaking his hip. The injury put him in a hospital bed for a good while and I believe his thinking was something along the lines of "I'd like to be able to walk for my next 40 years on this planet."

The older I get the less crazy that sounds.

A bright light in the dark tunnel that was skateboarding my freshman year of high school. Everyone was wearing that pac man all over print tk kr3w hoodie and tight pants with huge shirts. Then I got black and blue volume one and learned back 3 no complies. A tip of the hat to you my good sir

[close]

Dude, I had the black version of said hoodie my freshman year. Call me a kook but that hoodie was sick as fuck! 2006 w was a great time in skating, the golden era imo. I got bag of suck with that hoodie as well for my birthday from stratosphere skatshop, GTs dads shop.

[close]

Yeah, Thomas probably called you a kook right after you walked out the door. 2006 was not a golden time in skating dude. 2003, 4, maybe, but 6? That's gonna be a no from me dawg

[close]

Jerry Hsu in bag of suck, nick trapasso in suffer the joy, Jon Allie in it’s time, and let’s not forget Dylan Rieder in a time to shine. Sounds pretty golden to me. Plus, I said era you dumbass so I’m pretty sure two years before would count towards my point. By the way Thomas was cool as fuck and gave me a poster of Grants welcome to alien ad of him grinding the 18 stair at Mercer college in Atlanta. Don’t go poking your nose where it don’t belong, I live for this shit. Shalom

[close]

You have 5 posts and you're trying to shalom me?  I like jerry bos but none of those other parts had a lasting effect on me. I don't really care about  mid 2000s stair and handrail skating. Like I said, I felt like gravette helped pull us out of a dark era. That kr3w jacket was terrible, you're misguided but I forgive you

[close]

When in Rome dude.....I may have 5 posts but I’ve been on this site for years and skateboarding my whole life so don’t try and cool guy me. You all bringing up peoples post count is equivalent to Ritchie Jackson bringing up his number of followers. if you think those were the dark ages than you are as dumb as you sound. Go find some other newbie to pick on because I’m not the one.

[close]

Most don't think of 2006 AKA "the era of bad fits" as a golden time in skateboarding but claiming Gravette "pulled us out of the dark ages" when he came up at the same time as Jake Johnson, GT, Brandon Westgate, Wes Kremer, Alex Olson, etc is some next-level revisionist history. So, y'all are both wrong, but feel free to keep arguing.

[close]

Never said dark ages like it was some ancient history or anything, just saying 2004-2009 was pretty weird. Gear and music was pretty goofy

I agree with 2004-2009 being weird

So what do you all prefer? I feel like you all are probably close in age to me so I’m interested. I agree with the gear being a bit strange but the videos that came out of that era are my favorite. Can’t beat that late vx footage on dvd format with random bonus features and tour footage. I love the older transworld, habitat, alien, and eastern exposure stuff but that was a little before my time so I couldn’t relate to it as much. I think the singular thrasher part/instagram era we are in now as far weirder but maybe I’m a little biased.

[honey island]

a lot of videos from 2004 are horribly dated and don't have any shelf life. the videos before that are a different story.

you want me to give you examples of completely banal and forgettable skate videos from that era? i literally don't remember. hence the post.


of course some gold escaped, but there is a lot of shit.  so much of the skating and filming is so unimaginative.


also when i say from 2004, i'm talking 2004 onwards.

If you’re going to make a bold statement, have some evidence to back it up. Use all the pretentious adjectives you want, still sounds to me like you don’t know what you are talking about. I’ve got dvds for days from that time period that would get you siked. Unless you’re some Ricky Oyola type purist that shuts down anything that’s not raw street skating to slow jazz and in that case, good day to you sir.

Those digital videos were early 2000s so your still proving to be out of touch with the period I’m referring to. I’ve lived on the east coast my whole life, love that shit. Was just making a point that you sound like one of those bitter Ricky Oyola types. Guess that’s most of the people on here though so I guess I should get used to it.

I started skating in 06 so I will always have a soft spot for that era. Looking back I agree that things were kinda off. If I am not mistaken this was around the time shoes started to slim down? Which was a big deal in my middle school. Sooo many great videos came out around that time, it seems like those were the last days of having decent music for parts.

Sans a few parts, That's Life is horribly dated. The mid-2000s were my formative years, as well, but for every Bag of Suck or Lost and Found, there are three Digital videos, a Jereme Rogers' Neighborhood, and an Elementality floating around. That's not to say cool stuff didn't happen, but I wouldn't say the period was defined by the cool stuff that was happening as much as a lot of the mediocrity we saw.

So, y'all are both wrong, but feel free to keep arguing.

Never said dark ages like it was some ancient history or anything, just saying 2004-2009 was pretty weird. Gear and music was pretty goofy

[close]

I agree with 2004-2009 being weird

[close]

So what do you all prefer? I feel like you all are probably close in age to me so I’m interested. I agree with the gear being a bit strange but the videos that came out of that era are my favorite. Can’t beat that late vx footage on dvd format with random bonus features and tour footage. I love the older transworld, habitat, alien, and eastern exposure stuff but that was a little before my time so I couldn’t relate to it as much. I think the singular thrasher part/instagram era we are in now as far weirder but maybe I’m a little biased.

I started skating in 06 so I will always have a soft spot for that era. Looking back I agree that things were kinda off. If I am not mistaken this was around the time shoes started to slim down? Which was a big deal in my middle school. Sooo many great videos came out around that time, it seems like those were the last days of having decent music for parts.

yeah man, we need more the delgados, peter bjorn & john, the organ & thao & the get down stay down in 2019

I refuse to hear any blasphemy against this masterpiece.

A bright light in the dark tunnel that was skateboarding my freshman year of high school. Everyone was wearing that pac man all over print tk kr3w hoodie and tight pants with huge shirts. Then I got black and blue volume one and learned back 3 no complies. A tip of the hat to you my good sir

[close]

Dude, I had the black version of said hoodie my freshman year. Call me a kook but that hoodie was sick as fuck! 2006 w was a great time in skating, the golden era imo. I got bag of suck with that hoodie as well for my birthday from stratosphere skatshop, GTs dads shop.

[close]

Yeah, Thomas probably called you a kook right after you walked out the door. 2006 was not a golden time in skating dude. 2003, 4, maybe, but 6? That's gonna be a no from me dawg

[close]

Jerry Hsu in bag of suck, nick trapasso in suffer the joy, Jon Allie in it’s time, and let’s not forget Dylan Rieder in a time to shine. Sounds pretty golden to me. Plus, I said era you dumbass so I’m pretty sure two years before would count towards my point. By the way Thomas was cool as fuck and gave me a poster of Grants welcome to alien ad of him grinding the 18 stair at Mercer college in Atlanta. Don’t go poking your nose where it don’t belong, I live for this shit. Shalom

[close]

You have 5 posts and you're trying to shalom me?  I like jerry bos but none of those other parts had a lasting effect on me. I don't really care about  mid 2000s stair and handrail skating. Like I said, I felt like gravette helped pull us out of a dark era. That kr3w jacket was terrible, you're misguided but I forgive you

[close]

When in Rome dude.....I may have 5 posts but I’ve been on this site for years and skateboarding my whole life so don’t try and cool guy me. You all bringing up peoples post count is equivalent to Ritchie Jackson bringing up his number of followers. if you think those were the dark ages than you are as dumb as you sound. Go find some other newbie to pick on because I’m not the one.

It just doesn't compare to 00-03, which saw the release of:

Photosynthesis
Sorry
Sight Unseen
Yeah Right
Mosaic
PJ Ladd's Wonderful Horrible Life
Baker 2G
This is Skateboarding
Man Down
Menikmati
Dying to Live
Bon Appetit
Cash Money Vagrant
The DC Video
7 Year Glitch
Real to Reel

That list is stacked. Of course 04-09 has good stuff too (Mind Field,Fully Flared,Static 3,Bag of Suck,etc) but I just think it was a step back from the previous few years.

great part. fun fact - between his lost & found, make friends, palasonic, full flared, lotties part he has over 250 tricks, not a single switch flip trick, in fact all 4 of his sw tricks involved a sw fs 180. the more you know. also i dont recall a single 360 flip either

[8.125]

Oh come on. You all know the only wack era of skateboarding is the early 90s. Big pants, small wheels, and lame ledge combos. I'll happily watch any era except that trash. Freestyle primos is better than that. After 99 every year got better, and continues to get better. Today is always the best time for skating.

I thought he couldn't skate switch for years until I saw him doing a switch crooks on Daniel Wheatley's instagram, now I feel like my whole life is a lie. I knew I had seen him do a 360 flip, though, so I went on the hunt and it's in a line with a nollie 180, one of the only nollie tricks I've ever seen him do. 15:50:
