"“Oh, shi#$! I’m going backwards! This sucks!” You can see the panic. Because all I can think about is how I don’t want to kill some little kid. My hand, dude. That weird wave! It’s like, “Please!

I got his grimplestix board as a first board but not knowing anything about him. I now am very proud to say it’s frank gerwers board, the guy who switch bombed a hill through an apparent school field trip. His other part is also pretty creative
the way those people were all wearing brightly covered outfits i think they were there to block cars from coming and they just prepared themselves to get out of the way when the guy came frank started getting close
Frank was at Tatto moms one night . He was sitting on the three set by the bar with his nose up this chic skirt. It was so awsome she loved it. Then he went back to the days in and me and Luke took Tony to the Republican , an after hours strip joint. I asked TNT to get on flow ,and he said. " you got to earn it"! And walked out. I felt like such a dork . Kerry Getz was already flowing me so he was right . I should of asked where are you skating tomorrow? Whatever I was drunk . Dint come out right.
@reassessment the bearings center can't slip side to side. To don't end up side loading the bearings so the races don't dent up. The bearings last a lot longer, there is no chance of you over tightening them, in fact it's best to crank them down with the right spacers. They just work like they are meant to work.
The switch hill bomb was cool, but did you see him use his telekinetic powers to safely clear the way. There’s another clip of him bailing on a hill where he, all too conveniently, perfectly slides backwards right under a tripod. Like a fucking glove. Is Frank a real life superhero? There could be doubt and there could not be doubt. No Diggity Doggie🪶
i wasnt speading lies. i was speaking from what i experience. from my experience spitfires are hard. if you think they are soft than speak about it using facts, logic, and reasoning. cursing and insults dont make you right, they just make you look ignorant.
+Wicked Wizard these are hard wheels, pause at 2:16 they're 54mm (probably 99a hardness) soft wheels will give you more grip, but nothing makes skateboarding "easier", except doing it all the time
Switch hill-bomb through a bunch of kids is now one of my favorite tricks I've ever seen.
hell this just became one of my favourite skate videos I've ever seen
Bet those kids asked their parents for a skateboard that very same day! 😊
Fucking LEGEND.
I can almost feel that beautiful bay air breezing past me watching this; pure bliss
Gotta love a gloomy day in the sunset district
My god man I am jello the fello
That's how you sell a wheel right there
Frank parted the red sea, switch!
if you ever switch hill bombed youll know that speed wobble is on a whole different level.
honda hogan
Scary as fuck.
and if you ever been to Quintara you would know how steep that hill is. scary fast
Frank Gerwer is a mad man. Love this guy!
I bet some of those kids started skating after that experience.
I sure hope so
😂 just image Franks face flying at you
Those kids are blown away and don't even know its switch.
Those kids crossing the street could not have been more perfect timing.👌 Franks the shit man just a true treasure in the skateboard world.
That last hill bomb. What a maniac.
lets just push like a madman down this giant hill
Best dude ever
One of 'em. :)

I want the Gerwer Patagonia deck. Classic.
Nice words Frank, it was all about Lance but I liked TG's street style a lot as well.
Frank is an outstanding awesome Street Skateboarder love his style some speed bombing that hill!
ok thats great. the wheels frank gerwer shows in the video (pink lance mountain og skull spitfire) are IN FACT 99a.
I still think the time is right for Lance to bring back The Firm
Frank is awesome...so is Lance
second best sk8 commercial ever!
the way those people were all wearing brightly covered outfits i think they were there to block cars from coming and they just prepared themselves to get out of the way when the guy came frank started getting close
Un par de patinadores ya imprescindibles blues. Un saludo con cariño desde Spain.
And he does it switch too! What a beast.
that was insane. i could feel the rush.
i had the tshirt version of that Lance Mountain crewneck he's got on... and it's about as faded as that one is...

Fucking art seen this so many times frank you the man !!!

Say something about lance... he said he'd never turn me pro for the firm, so I quit! Lol.

Yeah this is after they paved it. It use to be so rough
Robert Chu
If that's after I'm must have been un-skate-able before.
I think it is SF also, Sunset District

This is my favorite skate footage of all time
That dude is a beast!

Those Lance Mountain Pink wheels are 54mm can somebody confirm this?! :-)
True lovers
So. Cool.
u cant even hear those wheels....so butters
holy shit. Frank is a legend! Bombing a hill switch?!
Where can i get that sweater?!
You gotta have big balls to bomb hills in SF. That s**t is crazzzyy!!!
they are definitely hard. notice how he goes down in a straight line pretty much? thats because of the short wheel base and small hard wheels.
Best advertisement
so much style
Frank kills it!
sick
That switch hill bomb is fucked... So sick.
That's how you do it. :)
at least they put them in hi-viz. and now most them want to bomb hills
Throw back af

Máximo respeito
Sick
Fuckin sick hill bomb
The Firm..
Hell yeah!!
holy shhhhet
aren't soft wheels easier? or are these like 58 mm?
easier, but faster and can't slide as easily.
+Wicked Wizard these are hard wheels, pause at 2:16 they're 54mm (probably 99a hardness) soft wheels will give you more grip, but nothing makes skateboarding "easier", except doing it all the time
spitfire is usually hard.
i hate switching bearings
such a pain in the ass
sooo illllll
Frisco mainh
