Wow, that was a really nice bit of history
He’s over 50!?!
Barletta inding the deck and shoe in the remains of the barn was pretty cool.
I don’t reckon he is, he always plays the “how old am I?” thing, doesn’t seem to wanna reveal his age.
Great piece, Louie is great!
He’s been around forever, he would be about 50

Good point never thought it of like that. I assumed mid 40’s.
He is younger than 50. This old Transworld interview has him at 17. The article is dated 2001 but this is too late and likely corresponds to when the article was put online. He rode for Maple in the late '90s, so would be early 40s. i.e. similar age to Jerry.
This is probably him. Born November 1973
Where is he?
I think he moved close to mine but I never met him.

Had Barletta pegged at around 50 myself. Read somewhere years ago - probably bag of suck time - and at the time thought he only has 5 years on me.
doesn’t say exactly in the video, but a small village in the Swiss alps which holds loads of sports events, including events in the youth winter olympics 2020 which looks like it narrows it down to about 3 locations

Little clip here of Greg on Dyrdek in ‘Memory Screen’ to accompany the above.
Thanks. Yeah so he’s apparently still in that same place which is very close to mine but I’ve never seen him. The international man of mystery!

Used to watch Poisonous Products all the time when it came out, first time watching it in ages and wow its aged badly! The tight pants are quite unforgiving on everyones styles. Also ‘Elkin’ seems like a bit of a twat
About two thirds of the way through it I did start to think this. Weird vibe.
