We sat down with the man and mystery, Mark Gonzales, for what we can confidently say was 10 minutes well spent. Watch Gonz give his most candid interview yet as he chats with Evan Goodfellow while patting a cat.

Gonz is the only person I've heard who at times makes little to no sense and perfect sense simultaneously. He really does seem out of this world, just in an Earthling's body.
He’s Alf, he eats cats.
I could watch interviews of gonz continuously. He should have his own tv channel. Great interview.
I feel you on that!
Mark Gonzales RUclips everyday
The Gonz is the best, been watching him since 1985. Still the most original person in skateboarding and in most walks of life.
Gonz is probly the best dad ever.
Love to hear the Gonz speak.
This is the most serious I’ve ever seen him
I've been really into banana shanks...
This is a story about a kid who went from a neglected delinquent to an enlightened dude with a heart of gold.
It’s kinda interesting how the people who inspire others, grew up broken just like the ones who are seeking for knowledge watching this video
great insight to many unknown topics of Mark`s life, good work all round.
his stacey peralta impression is legendary.
He hits it on the head
the Gonz is a Public bath of how to be the most honest person you might meet. a saint.
lol "a public bath" lmao.. fuc am I talkin about??
HAHAHAHA twice!!
Man with reading problem discusses how art helped him. Movement (skateboarding) surely did.
I owned four boards in my skating life in the late 80s/early 90s. Vision Gonz, H-Street Danny Way, Real TG Guerrero and the Blind Jason Lee Bible/Gun. My favorite was the Gonz. Love the Gonz.
One of my lifetime idols.
hope this goes on and he unloads a tonne of cool skate stories.
long life to Master Gonz!
nbd just chattin w the god
love the conversation vibes to the interview, great stuff
so inspiring💗
that's cool I like what he was saying about karate dudes and boxers that would be able to skate, I tend to think the same about dancers like ballerinas and what not
blex autler Living proof. 😊
Totally agree. I've always thought. Dancers and Martial Artists. Amazing ballance, strength and tenacity.
great interview with the best skateboarder and human on the planet
Mark legitimately trying to kickflip a bicycle is still my favorite thing.
I never paid much attention to Gonz back in the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20... wait a sec, I get it, this dude is awesome, I'm just realizing over the past few weeks. Funny, way back I couldn't get enough Natas (much like now), but I had never really processed how much they were parts of each-other in so many ways. Natas or none, Gonz is some good stuffs.
Bloody legend! Respect
Word. Core strength. Love ya gonz ❤️🔥
Thank God MG is a skater. He is an artist. His skating is a masterpiece. His art is a skaterpiece. Love it. Remember the the paintpen boards. He is an individual individual. He eats cats.
Love Gonz and as a Sped teacher I would have loved to work with him. It sounds like an undiagnosed or a learning disability not effectively dealt with: Typical of a lot of kids that are artistic.
Lisa Smith Jason Jessee seems to be a lil off too i don't what he has though
Lisa Smith Stop.
tito Balkani why?
tito Balkani - In no way, shape, or form was this a negative thing.
Rats R Us That’s my point. Thank you for pointing that out.
he really looks at the world a different way whether its in skating or just in life
STACY DISLKED THIS
@@edradil3438 were you there? Find this hard to believe
@@burnspll103 Stacy Peralta? Really?
@infoslinger it’s only a guess, but Stacey probably never liked Gonz for convincing friend Mike V(who also brought Rodney Mullen)to defect to World Industries from Powell, and then a few years later snatched up Guy Mariano to come skate for him at Blind, which started the beginning of the end of Stacey and George’s partnership, while Rocco and World Industries basically shoved it in their face? That had to have bruised Stacey’s ego......which he had a huge one during the height of the Bones Brigade. Perhaps he blamed Gonz for starting all that?
Tony Alva also had a rift with Gonz for awhile too, but they’re cool now. He marches to his own tune and never gave a flying eff what people thought of him, especially the big 3 companies at the time who gave Gonz bit parts in their videos at one point or another, but never got the credit he deserved, especially at Vision. He always stayed true to himself and his friends, and never cared much of the business aspect of skateboarding, even though it’s pretty much made him a millionaire today and he barely skates!
love the Gonz
New Brunswick!!!
Legend
Holldean Collyfield the main character of Catcher in the Rye
he's soo funny without even trying. banana shanks lolol
The character Cualyfield heehee
"It hurts sometimes" :(
Could listen to him talk for all day... "I eat at night. I eat cats. "
"You know what I mean?....hahaha.....I don't know."
Double like!
His company called Krooked makes some great boards. I especially like their odd shaped cruisers and mid longboards.
Ray Barbee Trifecta
Skateboarding is a true saviour to us hyper actives 🤙🤙🤙
i hope one day i'm as insane as Gonz is lolbvs
Turns out Gonz does know how to box. Anyone here remember Mike V’s Free lunch interview?
yep getting older and not having the muscle and gaining weight,,,makes everything so much differnet and tougher,if you don't stay in top shape......ive lost a lot of skill,,,,but ile always keep skating...I quit once before for like 10 yrs I didn't skate just due to work and being lazy in my late 20s-30s...now in the 40s..i don't want to miss any more time...its too precious to waste....marks YT channels is very inspirational to some of us im sure
my friend is called longform btw
You eating 4 pork tacos a day Gonz ?
I wonder why he hates Stacey. Anyone know why? Was it the BB documentary that irritated him?
+Nancy Nightmare and the Wizard I think a lot of those guys had bad experiences with Stacy back then. I'm sure that you understand, since you are speaking on it, that Stacy more or less OWNED skateboarding circa Mark's formative years... plus, he was like the, "i'm retired from skateboarding, I'm team manager, businessman, artistic director" and I think a lot of people chafed at that. If you listen to interviews with a lot of those young guys like Rudy and Guy and whatnot, they say things like, "if you didn't skate, I wasn't interested in you" That sort of mentality. So you've got this older, now non skating, know-it-all Stacy Peralta that is telling all these guys what they should and shouldn't be doing. Whether or not he was right, they weren't trying to hear that. I'm not Mark or Stacy or any of those guys, so I'm probably wrong, but I think that has a good bit to do with it. Stacy, in those Bones Brigade "best team" days... he thought he hung the moon. People act like Alva was this egomaniac... they both were.
+Nancy Nightmare and the Wizard- lol
Stacey is super cool and kind, intelligent and so forth, but also arrogant and a phony. Puritans of self may have a bit of a problem with him.
+Nancy Nightmare and the Wizard
We'll never know the truth unless Mark says why, but one can assume he didn't treat him well. Maybe money....but Gonz doesn't seem to me like a person who would care about money unless he was being disrespected.
+Nancy Nightmare and the Wizard Stacy gives off a pedophile vibe
Cats
gonz has a son? i thought he only had a daughter
good skater, must be in he's 50's now
NUTTS😜😜😜😜
Why doesn’t he like Stacy perelta ?
Yearh. SP is so nice :)
Karmic reflections
"i eat cats"
he has a son?
What’s Stacey Peraltas deal?
A fake banana that the tip is a knife.... Somehow it makes sense coming from this guy.
Imagine being a guy that Mark doesn’t like. I wonder what Stacy did to make Mark dislike him so much.
for real. that caught me off gaurd.
GG
what he said about martial artists probably would be able to skate, i always thought if you gave nick diaz a skateboard, hed be good really quick
Nunchucks,bong rips and double sets yo!
gonz is my father
ill see u when im on krooked
buddy bullock
keep shredding dude ❤
THE GONZ. legend. He knows. Whatever. Go ride a skateboard.
Why does gonz look so burt out? He always got huge bags under his eyes. I can relate alot to how he went through school in the city
Matt Butler I have a feeling he's done a ton of coke in his lifetime
Dude never sleeps he’s either traveling or doing art etc
@infoslinger It wasn't even an insult and I said that two years ago. Relax dude.

Gonz acts like an old man, looks like an old man. The kids dont care.
why the hell is a millionaire like gonz still hyped up in skateboarding when he actually hasnt put out a decent skate part since the early 90s??
burrowsgod if you didn’t grow up skating in the 80’s and 90’s you’ll never know why, not your fault though go back and watch the videos from
those days and you’ll probably have a better understanding.. most definitely watch ‘Video Days’ and then watch the ‘Making of the Blind Video, ‘Video Days’ it will help 🤙🏻😎
Godfather of street skating…
he's fucking 50. let's see you put out a skate part when you're fifty years old.
The Gonz is basically the incarnation of street skateboarding.
Doing crazy tricks at wacky spots, being a joker, unrelentingly creative.
I don’t skateboard anymore, but I still look up to this man regarding his attitude towards life and creativity.

not the brightest star in the sky for sure -.-
You couldn't be farther from the truth....
This man is brighter than a lighthouse amidst the darkness. He guides many people to a more playful version of their current selves
