BRANDON DEL BIANCO

wordsby jay revelle

We all love controversy, but despite my attempts to find it in young Brandon Del Bianco, there isn’t much dirt swirling around. As one of the skaters on the Toronto Shoot to Thrill team, he gave a stellar performance in a film that not only portrays great skateboarding, but also aims to enlighten us all on the virtues of proper skate etiquette. “Beaming”, “spot blocking”, and the “mall grab” are all covered. I always admire great manners, but it completely disarms my attempts to illicit any controversy. Del Bianco threw down this interview during the Shoot To Thrill weekend – a weekend that wasn’t much different than any other weekend for him.
