The Jack Curtin interview was interesting. Looking back, I'm shocked he has gotten so far and maintained a career for multiple decades with a pretty random bag of low-impact tricks.
I'm also surprised he is just shy of 40 and not talking about growing up and getting a non-skate-industry job, dating instagram models and living in SF ain't cheap.
i don't know, i always thought jack curtin had a pretty deep/ cool bag of trick. some that might have seemed odd at the time or tricks not many people did/ wasn't the cool trick to do at the time, but he made them look good- not effortless, always seems to have to work for his shit! Like in that DGK/RBK in spain video- fakie heel fs 5-0 on that bench, nobody did that and it has to be an awkward trick i imagine but he does it hella clean!
But i guess you point is more of him being able to maintain a career with mostly low impact skating the last couple years? I guess this is becoming more common nowadays and makes for some great footy from some dudes who woulda been forced to retire age 24 in 90s/ early 00s
and he was hucking for a good part of his career- not mostly hucking but good mix of it and low impact shit.
guess i'll have to revisit some parts now
