Hope he’s still finding time for a little skating between luxury table construction.

IIRC, in his Bobshirt interview he said he hasn't set foot on the board in years and doesn't intend to anytime soon.

Maybe I'm mixing him up with someone, dunno.

He did say that but I also believe he said he got a board like a week later and that it felt great.

Also there’s a board in one of the shots from this video.

Can anyone confirm if he owns or owned a turquoise 1950s ford pickup? I'd always see that jawn around Jersey City and rumor was it was Rob's.

Great 360 flip and KF the gap to nose manual.

Just notice how far he pushed between the Varial Heel and Nollie Flip off the wedge thing.

Bummer. The lines in his Mosiac part were executed with so much grace and style. He had some beautiful 360 and nollie flips.

I hope he's poppin those 360 flips still, even if just in his driveway

He got a small fortune in festool gear.

Is it true?  Or did you read it on the slap message board?

That was my impression too, maybe he had him on as an apprentice as Pops' career was winding down, that's when he learned how much pro skaters really made.
