It is safe to say that those of us running skate publications have a high affinity for Rob Taro’s work. His renown Timescan series, which started in 2019, takes a something-out-of-nothing sensibility learned from a childhood in small-town New Jersey, and takes it into the often claustrophobic, high-bust street spots of Japan. Rob’s videos and parts are full of lines connecting opposite sides of the street, mountainous banks with obtuse runways, and cutty nuggets of marble that stick out to only those with a discerning eye for the skateable.
