Shock: Rob G. Freestyles with Pat Leal
Photo Dominic Garcia.
Yo, I’m down to do the interview. We should just do it ichat conversation stylee and just talk about shit. Maybe one conversation or a few over time. Just freestyle the shit outta it…
are there any points in your mind that you would just like to discuss? I know that sometimes when I do interviews I wish people would ask me questions about certain things because I’ve had shit on my mind. Lemme know dewey!
Haha, freestylin it all the way sounds funny, the ichat thing is clever… Well I’d just like people to know first off, that rollerblading is the most under-rated “action-sport” (or whatever label you want to put on it) out there. I think our industry could definitely use more corporate sponser involvement like it did back in the day when I was able to buy “Senate” shirts at “Bicycle World” in my hometown Harlingen, TX.
I hate seeing how skateboarding is so popular only because it means less money for more professionals like yourself to make a sweet sustainable living. I think our industry needs to have the vibes we had back in the 90s, when all bladers were a lot more chill and fun… I don’t believe that competition formats are the only way to get your name out there or be labeled a “pro”… I respect you Rob G because of the creative way you choose to skate and because it motivates me to have more fun with it although I’m always an advocate of people who drop raw hammers… [...]

your dismounts appears to be highly controversial. Be careful not to offend the sensibilities of the kiddos. I hear they have formed a grommet gestapo of haterness and they be taking names.
January 20th, 2010 at 3:14 am
i love pat’s skating.spacialy the makio on curve ledge, top soul 360 out and the monky plant to top soul. I want see more of pat.

January 20th, 2010 at 5:16 am
@ dominic ….. hahahahahahah grommet gestapo!!!
January 20th, 2010 at 5:30 am
Feelin this alottt! Creative stylish steezy

I liked it it was pretty diverse. One thing I will say, just because you know the guy though and decide he is creative, but some other guy just doesn’t like to see shifty airs etc they are allowed to disagree. Not always hate. Kind of a nazi approach ‘aaaaah, it’s called creativity, so, uh, agree with me or you’re just a hater’. But whatevs, the relevant topic is the edit, which is great, and the skating, which I also enjoyed.
For whatever thats worth.
