Gilbert Crockett.

Old Dominion.

Gilbert is from Richmond, Virginia. He was initially sponsored by Mystery and Fallen. He switched over to the Alien Workshop in 2010 and turned pro for them. Vans just released a shoe with his name on it. He also rides for Venue, a shop in Richmond. Gilbert's got a raw straightforward style with classic tricks done on higher obstacles or over longer streets. He's got a mean switch kickflip.
