Remember the Lapper?, Rails, Rector RIOT Gloves, NoseBones etc? Grosso loves a gimmick... he said he started skating when he was a kid when he saw a board with 4 different colored wheels. In this episode we go down the list of some of the coolest, goofiest and weirdest gimmicks to come along in the last 40 years.... Music: "St. Sebastian" by Robin Allen, "In My Book" by Gram Rabbit, "Sorry" by Jim Bianco
