Daniel Gesmer in "Four Wheels Down" (2002)

[@SpinninDan]

I sure didn't invent every move shown in this video, but thanks for the kind remarks. The moves I did create emerged from years spent studying dance and ice skating. Someday I plan on making a "how-to-pump" video; maybe other "how-to" videos will follow that one.

[@SolidGoldSilva]

I remember being a shitty little teenager making fun of your skating too, in person even at Rotation Station in Rockford. But dude, you're rad. Total respect for the technicality of it all as well as for having the courage to rock it your way. Hope you're still out there doing it.

[@martinmerrywinkle]

lets face it there IS a comedic side to this, whatever the intentions were, but having said that, THIS IS ART. should be a featured vid!

[@OldSchoolHC78]

It doesn't matter how you skate. It doesn't matter what you skate. It only matter's that you skate! It's all about SKATEBOARDING

[@theHTMSS]

This video still blows my mind. How? and Why? would you have even thought some of these are would be possible? I would to learn how to do some of these things... ever make an instructional video? Myc Myc

[@Undergroundlongboards]

Nodody does this kind of stuff these days. Takes a very strong core.

[@iwishiwas88]

skateboarding and dancing are both forms of art and sport. combining the two is a pretty creative way to meditate and exercise. great video, i really enjoyed watching it.

[@cuzz467]

that pumping is ridiculous! crazy good style.

[@dylanjones1990]

This is the best, revisiting it after years. YES

[@OdaKa]

Hahahahaaaaa, i love the aggressive attitude in this one, XD This is great stuff

[@SpinninDan]

That would be super-cool to have a new shop customer. I'd be really happy to speak to the folks at The Beach any time!

[@jigglyj0]

this guy is my hero!!!!!!! your choreography is more art than the typical 'extreme sport' skateboarding is usually associated with. this is actually beautiful to watch

[@taylorbonnell9792]

Says someone with Bam in their username... This guy is an innovator, much more creative than bread and butter tricks everyone's popping today. I'd trade my treflips for nose manuals that last forever anyday.

[@MatadorianGray]

Dan, you are the real thing!

[@jigglyj0]

this is art!!! goodness this is so beautiful to watch!!

[@mcscotty325]

What an epic video!!

[@emilkrasich]

Really just incredible and amazing skill. Mindblowing is probably a better descriptor. I can only long distance pump on a longboard and that's it :). Amazing to see such great achievement in your disciplines! Can't wait to try that seismic truck!

[@CaSh3dNuGz420]

this is awesome!

[@jigglyj0]

this guy is my hero!!!!!!!

[@SpinninDan]

Yeah, I've tried FreeLines (briefly), and they're friggin' hard! Thanks for the kind words, and the plug to your local shop.

[@longbord1]

Such a gnar video!

[@CynicsAnon]

Dan! You are crazy cool! And when I ordered a pair of trucks from you, I sure wasn't expecting a personal phone call to help me setup my board right! I'm telling our local board shop "The Beach" about you! Also, have you ever tried freeline skates? Because after seeing those moves, if you haven't tried them, you really REALLY need to! : D

[@macster99]

Awesome!

[@CynicsAnon]

You definitely need to get a pair of freelines! After a week or so of practice, you will be a pro at them. It's all about that pumping motion like you do on your normal boards. And with all of the crazy spinning you do, you are MADE for those skates! I'm friends with the employees and my mom knows the owner of The Beach. I'll talk to them when I bring in my trucks to show off! : ) I don't speak for the store, but unofficially, they said they would love to start taking orders from you!

[@10donnas]

Good core for sure!!! You cannot do skate boarding like this without a very strong core!!

[@Radioactivnezz]

Ya know, i'd be lucky to handstand on flat ground for more than 2 seconds.

[@SpinninDan]

@inthecan Thanks very much for your kind remarks!

[@alefiny]

Wow! damn 2 wheels 1 nose ..I remember you from the old school freestyle vids! :D

[@larijaakkola8510]

Classic.

[@JD0x0]

Awesome man reminds me a mix of Rodney Mullen and Adam Colton

[@TransferAir]

Yee'Ha!!! I just say: "Freestyle parts of the Oldschool-Video BAN THIS '89". Greetz to all true Oldschool-Sk8er outta there!!!.

[@N52mods]

HOLY FUCK

[@zionmarasta]

WTF!!!! weird!!! but I still liked it!!!!

[@trricker]

First I thought he was just kidding around. BUT THAT'S NOT KIDDING AROUND

[@riotribunal]

Wow ! That is a very different skateboarding ! A mix of freestyle, slalom and ballet . How about to add a kickflip ? Congratulations !

[@MatthewNorman968]

@OldSchoolHC78 you're cute...

[@MetalicB0x]

[@tsigr]
