So many times, I’ve been on the road with skaters I admire most, laughing and reminiscing about earlier days when skating felt fresh and free— just skating with friends. Yet the necessary flipside to that is just as true: some of my best days were during Round II, calling Daewon after landing some table trick that I never thought I’d get, or calling Mike T after Jake Rosenberg and I got that Balboa Darkslide for Virtual. Whether for Bones Brigade, Plan B, Globe or Almost, much of what drove me was to earn the respect of the dudes I admired most. To this day, some of my deepest bonds and best memories came of it. That in mind, I’m honored to welcome @austyngillette to @globebrand_skateboarding! I’m looking forward to all you’ll bring. https://us.globebrand.com/pages/skateboarding
