Oh people, have you forgotten Rodney Mullen already? Has skating somehow become more fashion than agility and strength? Does not Rodney Mullen also dance and skate? Just because he does a flip trick or two doesn't make him look like he is dancing any less than Gesmer.
Jesus, save us from your followers. Please, tell me why a person who is obviously a "christian" and who cares to spread their message about faith make fun of a guy for doing what he loves? "Dan Gesmer, Flame away!"? You obviously don't know the way Dan or the way this nice guy named Jesus lived their lives. Hateful people they are not.
Some of the very most sexually exclamation point! Guys out there are ballet and dance performers, writers, Yale graduates ... Nice, good, honest people.

geez, man. I didn't mean any dsirespect to Dan. I think it's awesome that he skates the way he does. the "flame away" thing in the description was sarcasm. Skaters are supposedly open-minded people, but they pounce on anyone who does stuff like Dan. My description was meant to bring this discrepancy between the punk rock roots of skateboarding and the judgmental nature of skateboarders, albeit very inelegantly. I'll edit it to make my point more clear.
Also, please forgive me for representing my faith poorly. Your comment is a good reminder to me that I have to be the light on the hill that Jesus talked about. Thank you for making me reevaluate my actions and grow in my faith.
Grew up skating at the same park as him back in the 80's. He used to ride that 1 truck board all over the park. I've never seen anyone else ever do that.
Wow! I am officially blown away. this guy is freakin amazing! For all you people who think he looks gay, i think you need to look at your own insecurites and THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!! How many of you can pump on ONE TRUCK????!!!
Dan Gesmer is an awesome skater. These days there aren't many folks who aren't afraid to do what they want to do and damn anyone else. A lot more entertaining than the some of the damn "trick robots" you get these days.
Sometimes I wish and pray that I could find somebody in Philly that knows how to pump a longboard. First person I see I'm chasing them down and making them teach me. And was he pumping on two wheels? I hate him so much, but only because I can't do it. Help? The guides aren't helping me. I need to see somebody do this in real life. One day.
Yeah, Gesmer has been the definition of the word 'faggot' for a longtime in skating...too bad people just don't get it.
Dude is just an island.
More power to the 'Gez'! I dig most skating..and feel Gesmer is kickass not just for the skating he does...but for being a strong flavor in skate CULTURE.
speed, style, he's got it down. Note how many street skaters now can't even go fast in a strate line with style. He just makes everyone else's board riding abilities look silly.
such a talnted rider. marti has no clue what he's talking about... i doubt he's ever tryed a handstand while moving, nevermind pumping fakie nor riding on a SINGLE TRUCK!

Yeah, some of it may require finesse, but so does figure skating, and that shit's gay too. Also, Seismic trucks are a stupid gimmick.
