HomeLives Of The Artists: Gallows
Some things are just like that because that’s the way they are.
That has to rank as one of the dumber reasons we’ve heard for acceptance of why things are as they are. On the other hand, it’s one of the reasons why we’ve just made a film that’s taken us from the Arctic Circle to the US and to the South Pacific. What ‘things are just like that’ you might ask? Well chiefly the idea that riders, be their preference concrete, snow, surf, whatever are so different that they just don’t mix. Also, why is it that these guys are so easily dismissed by the mainstream as weird types who say ‘gnarly’ a lot when in fact so many of them are athletes, passionately driven people who can overcome the kinds of barriers that should surely endow them with a more noble status?
At Relentless, we’ve long struggled with the surface divisions and outsider status that to us just seem to miss the point. These ‘weird’ types are not weird. They are remarkable in the truest sense of the word. They are artists, no different in underlying attitude to each other and no different in attitude to the great artists of the past, across time and discipline. By artists we mean people driven to the point of obsession, determined to make their mark on the world, to pursue their goals with singular vision and to do so in ways that make the world a richer, more beautiful, more inspiring place for us all and in the process silence some of their own demons.
