Andrew video Seshin video part
Name and age:
Andrew Gobbo, the youngest old man you'll ever meet (23)
Location and years riding:
Living in Dundas, Ontario, right now, where
it all started some10 years ago
Andrew, describe your riding style:
Street.
...and just for the record, I've never run a freecoaster, nor have I
ever seriously sported a front brake though a lot of people that don't
really know me seem to think I do or have.
You have an older brother who rides BMX, does he push you with your
riding?
If by "push" you mean drive my ass around and calling out
everything before I do (or don't do it, then hells yes. He's awesome,
but he's in Vancouver right now, so no little road trips or street
missions for a little while...
How many years have you been riding for Seshin?
Oh shit. Has it
been like 3 or 4 years? It's been so good the time has just flown by.
What are you into as far as music goes?
Such a simple yet tough
question. Basically, I like to think my taste in music goes through a
lot of genres, but basically I like stuff that’s original or unique and
good. I like music that doesn't necessarily sound like something lese
you've heard, a lot of music turns me off like that. Go listen to
something by the Go! Team or Buck 65 or MF Doom and you'll know what I
mean. Lately I've stumbled upon some good older stuff that I'm loving
just as much though, like the Sonics and Frankie Valli.
Five websites you check most often:
Well I assume you mean something
other than gmail or the weather network, so straight out of my
bookmark toolbar, we've got the Seshin site, RedBMX blog (Canada
represent!), repset.net, gnarwhale.com, and youtube I guess (strictly
bmx related, other than that the site can lick balls)
Any bad injuries from riding?
Luckily no. (knock on wood) I've
technically broken my left collarbone three different times, though
once was a re-break and the other was when I was like 5 or something
(still from shreddin though...those gravelly paths will get you!)
Ever eat a Philly cheese steak?
Definately not. I don't eat meat and
I've never been to Philly, but I'd like to change ONE of those facts.
Tell us a story, a random funny story.
You always do this to me with
the stories! This one time, at the grocery store, I
bought some apples, and the teller rang them through as granny smith
apples, even though they were clearly Gala, and the granny smith were
on sale for like $0.69/Lb, and so I got this sweet ass deal on apples,
and the teller didn't even know, and I never even told anyone until
now.
Any last words, or thanks?
First and foremost I'd like to give a big
shout out to me, for being so awesome. Seshin too, they're pretty Rad
themselves. Thanks to my parents, who may or may not ever actually
read this, but are awesome nonetheless, my brother, who's also
awesome, cause he's put up with a lot of my shit. Big shout out to my
boys Jay and Will for the fantastic indoor park and all the good times
(inflowpark.com)! Thanks to everyone else I ride with for being
awesome, everyone who's helped with filming and everything for the
Hamilton video, Nicholas Murray for providing constant comic relief
(and a steady filming hand), and thanks to everyone who has and will
talk shit on me. I know you're out there. Love y'all.
