Pulaski Local.
Bobby has been riding for Krooked since roughly the beginning of the company. He turned pro for them in 2006. He recently picked up Nike as a footwear sponsor after éS ended a couple of years ago. Bobby released a video part in the spring of 2014 that was filmed entirely at Pulaski Park in Washington, DC. This is an impressive feat since Pulaski is a notorious bust. I like video parts that are filmed in one location. You get a sense of how a local knows every inch of their home turf.
I noticed the ad says that Bobby is wearing Thiebaud pants. Did they name a pair of trousers after Jim? Happy belated birthday to one of the best guys in skateboarding.
Is éS back or are they just doing limited edition short runs of shoes? I thought I saw Tom Asta had a sticker on his board recently for them.

not sure on the status of es but while in a shop the other week seeing some accels dropped some serious nostalgia on me. if they had the brown/gum colourway I wouldn't have walked out with just bolts and a shop sticker.
The Thiebaud pants were probably a skate nerd pun on the Girbaud pants that were big in 90s hip hop culture.
can someone tell my why bobby is not a huge skateboard star? am i biased to the east cost riders? he should be a house hold name. so impressive. it seems majority of east coast riders are pro's " favorite skateboarder" but never get the cash they rightfully deserve. I mean the list is endless...
i could easily name 20 off top of my head,not counting gino either.
