I totally agree. Gino's skating is much better appreciated on video I would say to really capture the amazing style he has, moreso than other skaters who throw out crazy bangers with no steez whatsoever and might land a cover.
Those were awesome shoes. I had a few pairs of those back then, which Gino inspired me to get. They were the Nike SB Zoom FC, which was basically like an indoor soccer sneaker I think Gino convinced Nike to release as a skate shoe. The ones he’s wearing there are the FC Barcelona collab and had the Barcelona logo on the back, so awesome.

Gino ❤!
Love these stories
Skateboarder was a national treasure
It’s a sad state of historical skateboarding that Gino has only had two covers in his career. One of the most influential skaters in history.
at least he got two. lotta other legends have fewer….

as skateboarder growing up on long island i wish there was more to the sw flip nassau story ):
amazing covers, do you think these were makes, if so would there not be footy for these bangers?
I imagine they were makes. Either not filmed or maybe a slight sketch in the landing.
It's Gino, of course they were makes.
there is footage of the tries of the switch flips down the stairs, there was no make though in the footage I saw
Is the switch flip from the Big Brother cover in one of his video parts? 🤔
Unsure
I still have most issues of transworld, thrasher, and skateboarder that I ever bought. I have the Gino issue that's in the thumbnail too.
Wearing the same shoes on both covers.
