the Bunt is back

[wheelchair skitch]

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

Jack had multiple clipper nbds. Just sayin

[Lowcalcium]

I could probably listen for hours to Donny's stories about growing up with Brian Anderson. I wish it had been longer and touched on more Eastern Exposure and Toy Machine stuff but they did a great job as always and props to Donny for sharing his experience with alcoholism and painkiller addiction.

Thanks for this man! I never saw the Quiksilver Promo. Interesting to see a lil Dylan crushing it in his part.

 Donny Barley is the truth...love me a East Coast shredder

Curtin and Surrey in one season? Underrated gods.

[ohtight]

I started from episode 1 season 1 a few months ago and I’ve been working my way through them. I also listen to the most recent season because I like to listen to their live sports takes. Just finished the Fred gall episode and I was fucking dying throughout the entire thing.

Anyone know who pulled on manchilds hair when he was kooking it at that restaurant? Not sure if it was mentioned before and I don’t want to go through 50 pages of this shit

Holy shit that nose manual to nollie noseslide was incredible

[DannyDee]

As much as I love the Bunt, as a Canadian, I feel Rick Howard needs to be top 3, if not 1. Although, I love that the Bottom 3 on this list have all stayed in Canada for their careers despite significant incentive to move stateside especially in the case of Wade and Spencer (a bit easier in Bobby's era to not be in Cali).

[Dark Knight]

Rick Howard should definitely be on that list, but you have to remember these are their friends, so of course it’s a little biased.  Expected Travis Stenger to be a pick because he is the fucking best

I don't think they are friends with Apples, maybe acquentences. To be honest, if it was primarily about friends, Morgan Smith would be #1 considering they all grew up skating shred together and are around the same age.

Cephas def spent a bunch of time with Apples when Mark lived at Adrift Skateshop back in the day.

[sometimeperhaps]

I’m a fellow Canadian and roughly their age, and at least from my perspective Rick Howard wasn’t really on my radar growing up. His last full part might have been yeah right? I’m probably getting that wrong, but from what I remember he never really put out too much footage aside from a clip here and there in trip videos. So I can kinda see why he wasn’t including.

All that being said, I’m a Rickk fan now. Just growing up he didn’t have the same appeal as a Koston or Rowley or whoever.

[Nosferatu]

Surprised he didn’t reserve a spot for one of the huckers like machnau or decenzo.

Also, awesome to find out Surrey seems as rad as a person as he is a skater.

[mclovin1336]

love the new season so far, but didnt catch all episodes yet. in the recent one they are referring to critical slap post, which one was it?

[kook1234]

Surrey is the kind of guy you could trust your daughter with

[Fartknocker415]

Anyone know who surrey’s gf is ? It’s weird but I wanna see the mark Gonzalez/nyjah of street roller skating lol

Fully Flared. I'm the same age as Cephas. Personally Rickk would be number 1 for me. But, I can see your point. Yeah Right, he's actually in a Montage with Guy, Tony and Jeron, but has atleast 90 secs of footage. If I had to do a top 5 I think it'd be Rickk, Apples, McCrank, Wade and Bobby, but leaving off Morgan hurts.

[Dark Knight]

Really surprised Morgan was left off, considering he’s a main part of their particular crew.  Spenny and Wade are on the list.  Was totally expecting Stenger to be in there. Wade has even been vocal about how good he was.  Waking up to Trav stomping flatground tricks before anyone woke up, then took a shower to start the day

Kind of funny how he says this is different than aggressive rollerblading. Can't say it's that much better.



The Nyjah of rollerblading was a girl named Fabiola da Silva

[wheelchair skitch]

Fun female rollerblader story: I went to school in san francisco and my first day on the campus I saw a girl on rollerblades grind the ±17 stair on the backside of the war memorial gym with a filmer and everything. I knew California would be different but in that moment, I was mindblown. The rail is long and tall, on the other side is a narrow drop to flatground, i think like jamie foy and the maxallure dudes have skated it.

Coincidentally Jack Curtin mentions the rail in his bunt interview, which is next to the former USF smoking garden.

[too fakie]

After watching all of those Donny Barley videos, my biggest takeaway is that I didn’t realize how few Barley grinds he actually filmed. Boss move to invent a trick, have it named after you, and then hardly ever do it again.

smolik has to be the most insufferable dude

Fabiana Delfino this week.  Cool ass person.

Rollerskating is weird to me. Participants are 95% women, they have 2 trucks / 4 wheels per foot and are more accepted at parks than inline skater.s Popularity has exploded in the last year and overtaken inline as the pre-dominant rollerskating from what I've seen.

[Owen]

It sounded like Fabiana's answers to wort team mate and last person you want on the sesh were re-recorded. Funny how often this seems to occur given the questions are always the same

[j....soy.....]

This has happened a few times on this pod and a bunch more pods I’ve noticed, it’s understandable and I’ll take it over some 3hr episode where they talk about nothing.  Over editing is better than under editing….

COVID was most definitely the spark for people (rad gals) starting to roller skate. Here we are 2 years out and the progression is starting to show. I know quite a few roller babes who got into roller skating. It's not the coolest thing in the world but I can back anyone who's gettin after it on a mini ramp.
