If you grew up in that part of the mid 90s and skated you know how important and special Fred was and still is! I can’t put it into words without sounding a little cliche

My first board was the one with the monkey head, hands and feet sticking out of the water.....

“you shoulda kept going” classic ricky lol. you gotta skate thru the whole city for it to count

An original OG switch god. And young too. Talented af. 👏🎉

That was my first thought, too. Bobby says some interesting things. But I do think Fred and Guy look somewhat similar on the board. Just the way they hold themselves, how they approach things and how they land.

Dewey N. Fox Also both of them are regular foot and switch gods.

Dude I loved when the workshop did those colored boards. Where the layers of the wood had the same color as the graphic. It was such a nice aesthetic. Especially when you do flip tricks and you see the beautiful colors, it’s really cool

Right?? God I wish they would do a re-release of those.

Timecode is my favourite Fred Gall part. The night skating just adds to the whole vibe. To hear that a lot of it was filmed on LSD just make it that much better.

Freddy seems like he's doing pretty good. Not on the sober train but I think he's a dude who's gonna age with the alcohol and not really skip a beat. True working class east coast dude.

He always comes across as a genuinely good guy

That’s awesome Fred has been getting a lot of Press lately. I slept on him in the late 90s when I was growing up skating. Dude is obviously a legend and his stories are the best. Long live Mr Gall!!

This was wonderful. Fred G. has always been one of my favorites. Such a solid dude with one of the most truly amazing styles in skateboarding. I always love hearing these old stories. Anyway, these interviews are always a pleasure to watch. Good stuff right here.

I'd love to throw back some cold ones and skate with Fred Gall. Seems like the raddest dude to kick it with. Also, Bobshirt Interviews always make my day. Good shit!

so much skateboarding mythology in the bob shirt interviews.

that was a really great surprise.

So nice to see Fred get some recognition! Watched and learned off him for all those years. Thank you for bring back the past!!! Good memories!

I love Fred, he was my first favorite skater ever. I grew up skating LOVE every weekend in the mid 90’s, and Fred was our version of Guy Mariano. He was sooo good and ahead of his time. He was hella tech, skated rails, skated transitions. I’m so glad he’s doing better, I hate to see him with such bad black circles around his eyes. Stick to the weed and Heineken Fred, love that guy.

He’s right about fungus giving you energy... hadn’t skated for like 2 years, took like 4 grams and was so hyped! Busting 360 flips and switch 180s over parking blocks

Legend. Thanks for the history lesson. Keep pushin on

mind you kids...nobody was nolling sets like that on a common regular basis. Its like Kids doing straight up no complys down stairs now. Rare and difficult, especially during that time.

Thanks for this! Fred Gall was the sickest. These Bobshirt interviews are amazing. I fully owned a copy of the Sub Zero “Real Life” video. I got it at BC Surf & Sport in the Southwest Plaza Mall (Littleton, CO), same shop I got 101 “Snuff” from around the same time. It was the only skate shop in the Denver metro area at the time, until about a year later when the older homies opened Brothers Boards in my hometown of Aurora, CO. Totally had that issue of Thrasher too. I loved the Sub Zero video and along with the 411 footage and Eastern Exposure 2, it turned me onto Fred Gall’s skating and made him one of my favorite dudes of that era. Even rocked my Half-Cabs like his, with the tongue out and shit. Haha.

Man. One of the best ever. Was never lucky enough to meet him but he was always someone I looked up to in skateboarding.

Bobshirt, can you please go visit Lennie in prison or whatever mental institution he's in and get an interview with him??

Fred Gall=The MAN

I actually edited all the parts with songs I didn't like to songs from Guru Jazzmataz Vol. 2 in my High School video & film class.

Ive skated on shrooms before and hes not jokin when hes talkin about trippin and skateboarding. Its crazy your rollin up to do a trick and your just figuring out the equation of lining everything up needed to do the trick and bam fuckin first try. I remember it was night time no lights 17yrs old 2004 runnin up to this ledge bam bs kickflip noseslide full speed first try smooth and perfect. Thats only thing that really sticks out i remember

Soooo rad and awesome!!! Thanks for putting this together :)

true. i send my respect

Freddy has some great stories....the one with lennie kirk is the best! I always liked his timecode part

"I took so much acid I started riding longboards" I've seen it happen. Probably why I just put big soft wheels and risers on shaped decks. I've taken acid but not that much.
