Gilbert Crockett's 2018 Thrasher part for Quasi, titled Mother. Mixes big gaps, bars, manual tricks and a loose, personal style, with clips from King of the Road and Firing Line.

Why skaters like it

Skaters bring it up as a top-five part pick and as an example of a skater who goes big and tech without losing style.

“… Gilbert Crockett comes to mind. Goes big enough, goes tech enough and style is off the chain. You’re not going to “out big” some of these dudes …”

I come from the less is more. For example I might get killed for this by Mariano has gotten so tech I don’t enjoy watching it. These days there are guys that do both very well. Gilbert Crockett comes to mind. Goes big enough, goes tech enough and style is off the chain. You’re not going to “out big” some of these dudes so I’m far more appreciative of creativity. Frankie Villani comes to mind. Austyn Gillette. These dudes balance it all with ridiculous style. This group has such a diverse age and skate gap. Some dudes still wanna mention Cab, nothing wrong with that of course. Other dudes want to bring up Dylan Jaeb. Skaters that are 5 generations apart. With that said, I like clean executed tricks at spots that aren’t burnt out. With some creativity and flare. If they can do this while carrying speed, that’s dope.
