Gino Nine and Ten

Yes sir. For a dude whose entire skate career can be summed up in about 20 minutes of compiled footage, I can't not say that he's one of the all time greats. Hat's off to Pat O'Dell for putting together a truly nuanced, journalistic character study. It's somber, sobering, human, and all together a glimpse at a troubled individual. And it's skateboarding. Wow.

  2. Dudes got multiple DUIs, couple that with the death of a close friend, and the multiple times that he talked about being happy with himself, and I'd chalk that up to being troubled. Did you watch any of that?

  3. I like Gino but I got to say these were some of the less interesting episodes of the show. Don't really think it necessitated 10 clips. Still good, though. I want an epicly later'd about Matt Beach.
