ROBBIE RUSSO'S PROFESSIONAL OBLIVION

By CHRIS GROSSO

Today’s episode finally provides a little insight into the mind of the guy you’ve all been waiting for, Robbie Russo. The only thing I knew about Robbie before the tour was that one Antihero ad where they had him hung upside down. I’m kind of wondering if he’s even seen the ad, because based on the way Patrick’s interview with him went it seems like he doesn’t pay too much attention to what’s going on in the skate world. It’s sort of crazy because the way he skates makes it seem like he was found in a basket at Del Mar or some other gnarly park from the early 80s and raised by pros. I don’t know, maybe that’s the key to skating like that: don’t pay any attention to what’s going on around you and just figure it out for yourself. Sort of like the career version of not focusing on your board.
