Thought that was really embarrassing. Paul Schmitt explaining all these incredible innovations, these truly fascinating developments in manufacturing, in a way that (almost) everybody can understand, being totally engaging and then Chris Roberts notices something that sounds a bit rude and butts in. Paul Schmitt mentioned so many things that deserved a follow up question but Chris Roberts is too stupid, or just not interested enough, to ask those questions so he just reads out the next question heād written down for himself.
Felt a bit sorry for the Prof when all Chris Roberts could offer was a shitty pier-end joke.
He does let it down. Heās stuck on his narrative and takes it back to less interesting/safer places than the conversation could have gone. And then he thinks that heās controlling the flow like a pro. I like his to a degree but heās delusional.
Heās a fucking idiot and heās interviewing people he has no knowledge of or interest in. If the interviewee is capable of tying their own shoelaces, it should be passed to Roger.
and yet, you sit and watch their shows. theyāve made a fairly successful vessel for skateboardingās past/present/future to come and talk. for a culture heavily weighted towards Californians they manage to keep it fairly interesting
there was a point where i would religiously watch every one and this is the first one in a long time iāve even bothered with.
have completely given up with the āexperienceā nonsense they do.
From what I can gather is he helped Kelly move out because he had a truck and then they decided to tell his story. Heās a funny dude, heās had questionable sponsors and a gnarly accident.
So on the face of it, who would care to watch Kyle Berard? No one right? Iām enjoying it though.
Enjoyed the Kyle Berard one. Funny, self-depreciating story-teller. The car accident story is pretty dark, but he tells some pretty funny tales too, and not trying to sell anything, which is refreshing.
Its actually worth a watch. I didnāt care for it, but heās an amusing story teller who is quite grounded in how shit some of his sponsors were and the bad choices he made.
I also really liked the business stuff he talked about at the end, mainly from a DIY angle - but it was pretty rad.
I can picture Shier on it, after that Pushing Boarders stuffā¦ I guess Greg Hunt and Elissa would too, but surely they must have asked Elissa? I donāt expect John would want to talk about what was happening 20 years ago and his current stuff would be too confusing for Chris Roberts.
I think the rest are either not into self-promotion enough, donāt need to talk about the past or just wouldnāt enjoy sitting with Chris Roberts.
