For fucks' sake Gino, less is more. You, of all people, should know that. Shoulda just had the nollie heel on the bank clip and left the rest to the kids.

People complaining about too much Gino footage? The end is near.

[close]

Bro can't win. He's gone the last 20 years being called out for not being productive enough, now as soon as he puts out more than 3 clips people are saying they're sick of him. I think it's sick that he's stoked on getting footage again

[close]

Come on let’s be real, some of those weren’t clip worthy.

We all get old, and level goes down. And people are happy to see anything from them.
It’s unfortunate but a reality of life and Gino needs that paycheck. So you get a 5050.

[jums]

Not really impressed. Gino is so washed.

[rikki]

Came for feebles on ledges, wasn't disappointed.

Also, bs nose to bs feeble to bs smith line was dope.

Gino's switch fs 180 tickled my fancy.

Missing Jaakko.

Gino hate is fucked. He’s a 50 years old Dad for gods sake, it’s so sick just to see him out there at all.

gino has done absolutely nothing for 20 years now,
and is being given money that he doesn’t deserve.

gino hate is on point

go buy a Busenitz instead

[Ok]

this whole thing was nice. i really liked the sully trick and i don’t think ive ever liked some of his stuff.
mark is incredible.
gino is my top favorite and i liked this a lot. he looks great, light feet. i’m envious im a handful of years younger and would love to be able to skate like that

shoes look cool too

[Snappyfingers]

The Gino hate is so boring and tedious.

This was a lovely little video with good looking tricks and a very nice soundtrack.
Not much to dislike, unless you’re just a generally miserable person and are compelled to constantly talk shit.

[cherry]

The back 180 no comply over the grate after the 5050 on the curb was sick y’all are mis quoting Gino on that one

[V Badun]

GINO ISSSS FLAT BROKE 🎶
GINO AINT GOT NO MONEY (flat broke!)🎶
HES ALWAYS LOOKING SO DAMN FUNNY (flat broke gino)🎶
AIN’T NOBODY THINK HES FUNNY🎶
HE CAN’T MOVE OUT OF PROJECTS 🎶
CAUSE GINO ISSSS FLAT BROKE!!🎶

[yghartsyrt]

Came here to say that night footage is always goated.

How does Mark Humienik not have a board sponsor

Care about a board sponsor in 20fucking25.  You make more from shoes nowadays.  Then again, you are a Mark Humienik fan so I wouldnt expect you to understand this.

[Pierre]

Gino = most overrated dude on planet earth imo

[Don]

Hear me out
Beatrice > Gino

[Buttworm]

Switch 180 on flat for a paycheck and a shoe… must be nice

[roba]

ngl, that curb back 50 line shoulda been cut, but his other clips were fine. at least they didn't promo the shoe with 5 hour-long videos of gino and the shoe's designer sitting at a table and talking about foams

[Texas_Tone]

Those of you hating on Gino have no joy or whimsy left and need to be culled

every dollar asics uses to promote gino and this ugly busenitz knockoff is a dollar that’s not going to someone actually worthwhile

You’re choosing to be wilfully ignorant here. Sure the money could benefit someone else, but the money is secondary in this transaction.

What he’s providing for Asics is probably worth more than he’s actually getting paid, and those other dudes in the video can’t match that. They most likely wouldn’t have got clips with Rick Howard without Gino, and right there you’ve got 2 rare Hall Of Famers, synonymously connected with other shoe brands, both rocking Asics.

With much of the older heads already loving the fact Gino is just putting out footage, it’s obviously nailed the demographic. Can we all stop pretending we don’t understand what marketing is?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Bravo to ASICS for getting that much footy out of Gino…

I can't imagine Gino himself approving some of the tricks in this part...

Not complaining about Gino footy, but most of those clips would’ve been 3 tries max. The backside nollie heel and quick foot kickflip might have taken a couple of extra tries but the rest were light.

[doorpanel]

Go to your local shop
and ask the kids if they know who Gino is -
they will have no idea

and those same shops, haven’t sold a pair of asics in months.

for a guy revered for his style, it was one of the sloppiest no complies the guy has committed on camera, ever.

This is exactly why the Gino hate is warranted.

Right ok, my bad. I mistook wilful ignorance for lack of intelligence. Let me break it down for you. Asics footwear started a skate program, right? Are you following?

Well big footwear brands have marketing teams. They will assess the market and work out where they want to position themselves and what kinds of people they want to sell to - this is called the target demographic, and no that's not what's printed on your skateboard.

To an adult person, it's clear they are targeting a young edgy type of skater and a slightly older skater who still follows trends and cares about what's cool - that's not be confused with the temperature by the way.

Therefore they did research (something you do before you make business decisions) and selected the skaters they hook up now. From your perspective they should have signed Yuto, Jamie Foy and Dylan Jaeb because that's who kids know. When in actual fact people are getting paid to help grow a brand.

Asics are targeting this demographic of people because they know if people who are considered 'cool' are buying them, then the 'kids' will start to catch on too. It's also a whole lot cheaper and a less aggressive strategy than poaching big name riders off the bat which would create industry resentment and a kooky vibe - which if you didn't know, is stigma you don't want your brand to have.

If your shops ordered a load in thinking they were like Etnies and now they won't sell, I think that's probably on the shop and not Gino

so your condescending argument boils down to “gino will make the brand look cool to kids and therefore sell shoes” but kids don’t think gino is cool and the shoes arent selling?

Does Gino have to market to kids? Don't they have they have other guys like Zander and Justin Drysen for those 'Kids"? I'm 43 and it makes me happy to see Gino getting clips.

Also the shoe just came out and on Bluetile it's pretty much sold out, in both colors, so the marketing team kind of knows what's up.
