GINO IANNUCCI

Gino Iannucci stops by Mona Liza Studio in Brooklyn for a rare hour-long conversation with Lee Smith in Episode 02 of Mission Statement. Gino isn’t a fan of accolades, but he’s widely considered to be one of the most influential skateboarders of all time. His conversation with Lee spans two decades, and a couple of coasts. It includes rare insights into ‘90s New York and California, the 101 and Axion era, Keenan Milton’s tragic passing, and much more. With Menace and early Chocolate being the stylistic inspiration for Jonah Hill’s Mid90s, the timing of this episode couldn’t be better. Check it out above.
