Fallen footwear - Ride the Sky section
First up we have a very, very different Gilbert Crockett in his breakout part from Fallen Footwear’s Ride The Sky (if the name doesn’t ring a bell it’s that one where Chris Cole goes fucking mental for seven minutes at the end). When looking at Gilbert now it’d be easy to mistake him for a completely different skater as his trick book is a little more tech than in future sections. However the precision and trademark flick of those kickflips is already matured, perfectly evident by the flip frontside 5050 at 1:11 along with everything ensuing from 1:43 until the end of the part. The double set Cab flip and stretched backside flip ender also showcases the early days of the less is more and all powerhouse Gilbert would grow into a little down the line.
