sounds like he's sick of interviews.  Fall back on gilbert already

[chillout]

these gil interviews are actually starting to turn me off from mother. idk if hes just tired of interviews but he comes off like he's too cool to deal with actually talking about anything

[Sanka Coffie]

I got the same vibe. Halfway through reading it I was thinking this dude sounds like he would rather be doing anything else

despite the "disclaimer" in the intro, the questions aren't so great / actually are the same questions already asked plenty of times.  None of them really lend themselves to great thoughtful paragraph long answers.  the interviewer "don't do interviews" but "just asks questions", so it's doomed to fail as an interview.  could have followed up with other questions, but then that would be too much like an interview.  sounds more like the interviewer is too cool for interviews.

I ain't mad at it.

I know the RecordingsofBoardings guy posts here, and he always seems like a really good dude, but that was absolutely brutal. That read like a middle school newspaper project. Or that old SNL skit of Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney.

"So 20 stair rails are fuckin wack huh? Only slappy curbs and bump to hydrants for this guy? Looks like bust crew has been jumping on rails recently via vine.

I said “can kids really relate to a 20 stair handrail?” because I don’t really relate to that type of skating myself, that being said, I want to grind a 20 stair handrail."
 
This was such a painful one, not only did he come off as insanely condescending in the question but he linked a vine of them boardsliding a 9 stair rail to like go against Gilbert talking about not skating 20 stair rails. And in the answer Gilbert seems annoyed from this terrible series of questions.

just seen this. Y'all are all pretty much right on with it, i'm not happy with it. He finished answering the questions via email the night before I made a 16 hour drive to New Orleans so I had no time to do follow up questions, I rushed something that probably just shouldn't have happened.

It was something Gil and I had been planning on doing months and months ago but he's clearly been busy with other things and then those more important interviews came out. I had to change the questions 3-4 times as new interviews came out.

Yeah, I should have canned the whole thing but I'm stubborn and had already put some work into it. This is one of my first times getting into this stuff, whatever, I blew it. Learn from your mistakes.

Thanks for the criticism.

Liked this exchange:

"I’ve been doing a bit of acting for the Internet.

What’s been your most successful bit so far?
There’s one I put up of me dancing in a cowboy outfit which was on Vine and Instagram. That was probably the funnest and most successful.

Cowboy dancing?
Yeah. I’d say dancing. I do a little bit of acting sometimes but it’s usually by myself. I kinda, like, play one role talking to myself or something."
