Robbie Gangemi was always one of my favorite Boston skaters.He ripped but was pretty casual about the whole thing. He loves to skate. And that seems to be his whole motivation. Plus he is funny as shit.
On the serious tip, Robbie is an industry innovator. With a patent pending for recycled skate decks, the material and method, his company Pop Master Innovations is on the cusp of creating an eco-conscious wood manufacturing outlet with “Recycled Wood Fiber Veneer Substrate”.

Robbie rode for Placid Planet/Liquid Spaceship. And he was always down for a session.
Robbie was the first guy I knew personally that was really going for street tricks on ramp. He tried this backside kickflip 100 times and couldn't get it. I told him I can't run a photo if he doesn't land it. At which point he got a serious look and just began crushing them.
The low angle makes the kickflip look huge. Considering that was shot in 1990 or so, it is actually pretty sick. Check out the guy in the background. The look on his face matches his shirt.
