Claus Grabke Retrospektiv
The email came to me in German, which I can’t read. We cover stuff from the U.K., so why not? Looks like there is a Claus Grabke retrospective in a traveling skateboarding art show. This one is in Stuttgart Germany, or I don’t know my geography. I like art. I like Claus Grabke. There was a really good interview with him in issue 57 of Juice magazine, including an interesting bit on his short stint with Powell, and how Peralta kept trying to mentor him, with Claus talking about how he already had a father and didn’t need another one.
Claud fucking rules. That interview in Juice was the most intelligent interview I’ve ever seen a pro skater give. He seems like a really well rounded and well adjusted guy.
who the fuck is Claud? I can’t type worth adamn. Claus. Claus Claus.
