Gabby Borrows JJF Song, Toys with Cat, Days Ahead Of Impending ‘Storm’

Is Gabriel Medina poking the bear?

With the Olympics beginning one week from today, Gabby drops a free-surfing edit on an uncanny-looking logoless blade using the same score featured in John Florence’s Space clip released in early 2019 (see below). Captioned ‘Days Before The Storm’, the post drips with innuendo. 

Amidst a montage of inverted full-roters in two-foot drivel, Gabs toys with a feline and rides a jet ski with his girl, in nothing short of a pheromone-infused, vein-popping flex.

Is Gabby sending a message? Did he intentionally reuse JJF’s track? Is the cat representative of a particular individual? Or are we making uncharitable assumptions regarding his character?

JJF has been outspoken about his preoccupations with Medina’s stone-cold approach (see: this episode of Stab Unplugged). Referring to Gabs consistent stellar performances, John candidly admits, “It fires me up” and “It definitely plays on my mind.”

Is Gabs gaslighting? Or is the speculation unwarranted? We’ll let you decide. 

Only time will tell how John weathers the storm eight-weeks post ACL reconstruction. 

The Olympic milieu heats up.
