Ballet, skateboarding, and no Gesmer?

Graham Taylor has made a video comparing skateboarders to modern ballet dancers. It includes some UK footage from the 90’s on. Noticeably present, the Craig Stecyk quote about technology, a cement playground and the minds of 11 year olds. Noticeably absent is the Daniel Gesmer spotlight.

Cuppa Stoke

Recycled Gonz

I’m not sure what the barometer is for art and skateboarding, but the difference between eccentricity and just plain crazy is often a matter of how rich the person in question is. Likewise, you can bet that if Dan Gesmer had put on this performance instead of Mark Gonzales, it wouldn’t have been as well […]

I love it when commercial concerns address me as “dude”

As in when CafePress sends me an email with the subject line:Dude! Check out these cool designs for skaters and surfers. so I could check out the almost 5000 designs they have with the keyword skateboarding. Some of them are really bad too. Is that supposed to be Daniel Gesmer burning in hell? Halfpipe Dreams?
