thrasher loves glazing this dude

11 minutes long, not a part, no thanks.

To quote some random dude on YouTube, “release the Joslin files”.

Nah, I'm good

[dallou]

Curious why does no one like this guy on Slap ?

[bartlaser]

Dang, what's the beef with Greyson?  I don't even skate transition, but I love watching him rip.  He brings as much, if not more, character and excitement to skating than others.  Something skating needs right now.

Glad the negative Nancys here aren't in charge of the industry, otherwise skate culture would be more stale and boring than it currently is.

Plus, for as much chat there is on Slap about mental health, here's a guy who is open about his battles, and you guys want to shit on him.  Lame as fuck.

whole family fried as hell

Yeah, that's why he has top notch sponsors

Terrible title.

I get people not loving his fried Spicoli schtick but agree he’s hated on disproportionately here. I’ve seen him skate a few times and he’s fucking incredible. Winkowski seems no less fried and everyone seems to love him here. I’d rather watch Greyson pop head high ollies than Erick early grab any day.

The oververt-wallie-front blunt on the fence at the A'ala park in Honolulu is honestly worth the price of watching the whole video. So gnarly, and perfectly done. He is super fun to watch skate, I'll take the fried family history if I can see him skate.

100%.  And I say this not being a big fan.  But his huge ollies and being sketchy and crazy are really fun to see in person and for some of us it beats seeing another perfect flatground tre or "tasteful ledge skating."  You don't have to personally vibe with someone to appreciate their skating.

Agreed. I'm assuming most if not all of the hate comes from his general attitude. Similar to an Andy Roy type: 2 beers too loud. I feel like his Epicly Later'd would have been really insightful, and maybe could have won some people over. Too bad it got scrapped. Collapsing both your lungs from alcohol abuse is pretty fuckin' hellride (in a bad way)

Cringe as hell name, less so but still if he didn’t name it.

what a miss on that title!

This has been a big year for Greyson and I don't mind his captain caveman approach.

I respect that he was able to grow out of the shadow of his family/father and do his own thing. Christian Fletcher was HUGE in the 90s, but he was also a punk rock junkie: fame and drugs is a recipe for trouble. being his kid must've been a weird one to navigate, and coming out stronger and sober, I can dig that.

Definitely not the brightest bulb but a cool character in skating, for sure. He rips. He used to skate around San Diego in his teens with a car full of Mormon brothers and would just blast fs flips (muska style) and nollie-to-bs-tail-stalls on ramps.




Side note: I recall an interview (and this fb post I just found while searching for said interview) where he seems to suggest he never surfed as a kid, but the footage seems to disprove that: https://www.facebook.com/100044370320810/posts/pfbid034Zxtga8py7QcAkUCfHDsBfr5jTZPgVktnw7UYoU8YFQvpsv3KDfmjuHXdGhXAUZal/

The idea of Greyson playing RuneScape is hilarious to me

that MF’er grew up in San Clemente while being related to one of the biggest name surf families of all time. He just didn’t take it as a serious thing until 2011ish

I like this comparison. They both stand out from the masses, have uncool board sponsors, seem completely fried, and their abilities likely don't translate as well on video compared to seeing them live and in person. I've seen Erick skate live a couple times and he shreds large transitions so casually. I imagine watching Grayson live would be the opposite: balls to the wall excitement/fear.

The main difference I see is that Erick is fried in a more chill way and can skate anything/everything really well. Grayson looks like a transition skater when he skates street.

[Bristol_Palin]

I don’t know I sort of like him. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy. I liked Tony hawk describing him as animal from the muppets.

There is no direct evidence linking CoQ10 supplementation to eyebrow loss, but it's important to consider that some genetic deficiencies of CoQ10 can cause systemic issues including eye and kidney problems, and CoQ10 can have effects on the skin and hair.
