Stopped into Cafe Bella a couple years ago having no idea who owned the place and got very confused when the only decoration on the wall was a picture of Gino.
I love this video, 2:40 was crazy! But Asics should've gotten a translator for them. They're in NYC, must be loads of people who can speak both Japanese and English.
but bro! he doesn't speak english! that means the rules don't apply to him and he's too dumb to know any better! as if it's any different in america than it is in japan! don't you know how that's how us westerners gotta infantilize everybody like that now? we treat everyone as if they're children!
@@andylowe447 1:48 "Things were definitely lost in Google Translation", so.. not fully communicating back and forth. It's a shit substitute for a real translator, especially with the difference in English to Japanese. Sure you can say words, but whole sentences.. nah.
They recently put out a video part on thrasher a while ago kind of announcing it. It's pretty sick! *Edit* It's called TOTAL ACTUAL COMFORT and it's on thrasher
That framed photo of the backside Ollie is at Stony Brook University in Long Island. I grew up skating there and I gotta tell you that bank was steep as hell, short, no tranny at the bottom at all. As far as I know Gino is the only person who ever did anything out of it like that. He also did a BS nose slide on the top of the vert wall. Most people just carved the bank without ever getting to the vert part. It had inside corners and assorted angle hips. I was the only one in my crew to drop in on it and get a lil edger grind on the top of the vert. But to Ollie out of it is totally insane and was unthinkable back then. They bulldozes it years back, but before they did the "Lecture Center" was the shit. Also had a three level pyramid all waxed up nice and tons of other great spots on that campus. Parking garages with Manny pads and curbs when it rained. Also had great live shows there. Saw The Ramones, Biggie, Siousie and the Banshees, They Might be Giants... many more. When I think of the spots there in the context of what skaters are doing nowadays my mind goes nuts with the possibilities. Hubbas all over, stairs, double sets, did my first handrail there as well. I'm stoked he has that photo hanging up. Gino was a local hero along with Ben Liversedge and Matt Bell. But Gino is still Gino.
Kinda crazy someone somewhere in the pipeline (Asics, jenkem, a fuckin local) didn’t get a translator involved; it’s NYC every language in the world is spoken here, it’s just kinda inconsiderate and alienating to willfully bring these homies around strangers and a new city and not do all you can to get em more fully integrated
I remember skating that big ass handrail at 1 POLICE PLAZA. same thing cops tryin to kick you out & I watched Harold Hunter just blasted the nicest nose slide down it … this was the days just as Zoo / Supreme days was startin to blow up. Good memories.
well that's what happens when you don't film the beach montage you wanted using Kitchen Witch by Ariel Pink.... someone else will use it! remember kids!
Something non skate related, like hanging out with Gino
That’s kind of all I wanted to see, just a regular sit down with Luigi to discuss what’s going on with the Asics family.
You should watch some type of vlog channel that isn’t related to skating if you want non skated related content
Dang this dude just called Gino not skate related_them fightin words
Dang this dude just called Gino not skate related_them fightin words
Asics Skateboarding team in California doing non skate related stuff be like:
Eating at Pizzanista.

You literally had nothing to lose asking.

I think that was just psychological warfare against the security guard
I thought the same thing.
They could also just get google translate on their phone and fully communicate back and forth .

this made me want a pair of Asics
Just skated a pair for the first time and they’re pretty damn good shoes
Crazy, didn't even know Asics had a skate team
For some months
one of the best teams atm

Asics, a Japanese company with branches around the world. It's insane lol. Just get the cheapest translator, wtf are these guys even thinking.
Zander is such a beast! Best style, def one to watch out for
Good to see Takuya come back from that leg injury.
"It's like better than a Street League trophy"
Damn TRUE!
how did he not completely destroy this knee on that bail, that was insane!
Totally, I thought he was done done for the trip after that fall. Ahhh to be young
@@Thisisdarkdata young and Japanese. they're built different.
Bro…everyone coming out of Japan just killin it! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
“Better than a Street League trophy”😂😂
You need somebody like me on the team, speaking fluent Japanese, English, and another Asian language, U.S. educated, MBA degree, skating for 20 years.
how does jenkem not have access to even one japanese guy in new york to hang out with them for a day
came for the Zander
"he doesn't speak any English" well you tell him. "I don't speak Japanese either" LMAO
Glad you guys chose the first song.
dope team.
last comment, gold.
Very enjoyable! Thanks a Million!
Joey’s blunt flip out was fucking nuts. Should not have been dropped in this video like a throwaway clip
I mean it kinda is when non sponsored skate rats were doing it in 2006.
Good to see GINO. IANUCCI.💛
"better than a sls trophy" sure! hahah soo good
3:00 super rare bail the front splits_especially for steezy mcgee over here
Music selection on this is fuckin nice 👍
Discovered that Mark Humienik a few months back. Wow, what an excellent skateboarder.
how did you not find someone who spoke japanese to translate? you know asics has the money.
haha adds an element of adventure i guess
ASICS shoes are of high quality and are truly the best.
I remember skating that big ass handrail at 1 POLICE PLAZA. same thing cops tryin to kick you out &
I watched Harold Hunter just blasted the nicest nose slide down it … this was the days just as Zoo / Supreme days was startin to blow up. Good memories.
Zander is on a another level! I am just subscribed to your channel from The Nine Club 💯👍🔔
Just tell Asics to bring the gel-vickka pro black/white back! I need those shoes and cant find em anywhere!!!!

Where‘s Walker? Would be such a addition to the edit.
Walker moved from NYC late in 2023 and I think he moved back to his home town. He would of made this video Soo great I agree

Zander Mitchell
Didn't even know Asics made skate shoes... Everyone tryna hop on a wave smh

If the Japanese language is the issue, why not bring @LuisMora from Erased along for the trip. ❤
