 And then he's like, so, so what do you do? I'm a skateboarder. Hey everybody, my name's Eli Morgan-Gessner and I'm the style editor here at Uproxx. And today I'm doing an interview with Giovanni Reda who just made a documentary about the legendary Nora Vasconcelos. Wow. Yes. I like that. And we're gonna be talking to them about Giovanni's new documentary he's done about this legendary little tank of a woman. You're kind of in the, in the cut, right? You live in the country in Massachusetts. You get into skating. Like when I was starting off around that time my dad would take me to Skaters Edge which was this indoor like gritty in like an old mill building in Taunton. But I would go there and I would go on Tuesdays cause it was girl skate free and I would show up there and I was pretty intimidated and I would just go skate the ball with myself. And then eventually- Is that how it happened? Yeah. And then- Cause your bowl skills are phenomenal. Oh, thank you. But that's I think why I skate transition. I called her, I was like, hey, so this is what we're doing. She was like, okay, let's do it. Yeah, okay cool. Like I don't know why you guys want to do this. And this is one of those things I wouldn't have done it with anybody else. You would only do it with Rada. Pretty much. Especially based on like what he's done in the past. The Brian Doc, that was kind of like a big turning point for the skateboard industry and then for Brian himself. 100% seminal. I don't mean this as a diss towards any other female skaters. There's always a certain like feminine body mechanic. Yeah. Literally the first time I saw clips of you, I was just like, oh, look at this dude with the long hair. You know, which- That's so sick. That's so sick. People always tag me while I always, I've seen photos of guys that's like, is that me? It's kind of hard to translate it to people that don't skate. Like how important style is. And especially Nora has this like unbelievably amazing style like we were talking about. There was this weird thing that sort of happened in the early 2000s where I would talk to kids who skate for me and they would be really excited on someone's style. Are you talking about this fashion style? And they were like, yeah. And I was like, that's not what skate style is. Every other day I get hit up right now. That's like, where do you get your pants? Specifically the purple ones. Like where do you get your pants? Where do you get your pants? Like I make them. Really? Well, I don't sew them but they're white dickies that I just dye. Nora is the epitome of what a skateboarder is. You know, every skateboarder that I've looked up to from when I was a kid and the ones that are like the most influential. I'm just saying like Nora has that like the style, she has the personality, she has the tricks. She's an artist. One of the things that was I found shocking in Red's Doc is your slams. And I love that sort of thing. There's definitely more too. There is way more. You just need to be totally comfortable with the fact that. You're going to get hurt. Yeah, well in the film she says when I came to skateboarding she's like, yeah I'll bleed for this. That's kind of like. Oh, I'm Giovanni Reda and you're watching Uproxx. Thanks, all right. See you at the end. Okay, thanks. Bye.
