the gonz, one of gods own prototypes, a high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production, too weird to live, and too rare to die.
@@getsaucedon9313 some times you can see a picture of skateboarding another one let's see the footage I was there and I remember you might here a story about a trick or you did it
Holy yeah! I used to wear em in highschool for both gym class and skating after school they were super light and very comfortable though thin not good for cold skating lol
BDS board, Adidas powerlifting shoes & a Patagonia jacket. I could purchase all these things and still never have the style and awesomeness of Mark. Best skater hands down
Just discovered this holy fuck--amazing, its like bob dylan said about woody guthrie, you could listen to his songs and "learn how to live"--this is a lesson from the great gonz about how to live the life
This is why getting old can be excellent, kids. If he were 18, he'd be in central booking 15 seconds into the video. Mid-40s, he's just a crazy old dude that should be given a wide berth.
Mark makes me think of something Einstein said “the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is it’s servant, we have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift” Mark lives off pure intuition maybe more than anybody I’ve ever seen or heard of and that’s why he’s so incredibly gifted. That’s how street skating was created, Mark sees a handrail and his intuition told him to Ollie up that thing and play. Love this guy, if I could be more like anyone I could use some more Mark. Would love to hang with him, I know it’d be hilarious.
I stop skating like 15 years ago and watching again Gonz it has makes me feel that once you felt in love with the skateboard you can't just put it away and I will start again skating.. thanks marc for being such an inspiration for the very first time I saw u.. you are the real state of mind for the skateboard.. and the real meaning of what is skate about it..
thatsmyrail i do all the time i love it yeah the public look at you weird and shout if you get in there way but i don't give shit, gonz has inspired me not give a shit what others think.. And just be yourself
This dude still has it at almost 50, shit at that age I don't even think I wanna even run or walk and gonz just riding a bike and skating at that age props to him
The first thing I said to myself was, "Who the hell rides a board like that?!"...The second thing was, "It's the Gonz, he can do whatever the fuck he wants!"
I know, I'm 40 years old, grew up riding them, just haven't seen one in a very long time....Last month I bought an Elephant Street Axe, awesome board, old school shape and dimensions.
Skating is the only thing I love in this increasingly intolerant country. Race, gender, and sexual preference seem not to matter to pros. Seeing the Gonz ripping in his, old, graceful, and free spirited ways restore some faith to humanity to me. ✌
omfg this is three greatest video I've seen this year. there would be no street sk8ing.. well it wouldn't b nearly as good anyways... without this creative mans ability to do something different than what all the "cool" kids were doing back in the day. MUCH RESPECT. The world needs more people like gonz. thanks for making mine and my friends lives more fun growing up .Stay well. d(-_-)b
I watched Mark win Oceanside '85 Streetstyle a few minutes ago. The interviewer asked Mark what he did to prepare. Mark said practice. He beat Caballero and Hosoi. Mark built the foundation to shred for life.
he is skating in weightlifting shoes which is actually insane ?, they are designed to have no flex... I've been thrown into space with question marks as stars
it must be incredibly difficult to film Mark. It seems like he would be a perfect candidate for a GoPro commercial not because what he is doing is physically 'extreme' its just that his style/personality is amazing.
What a video. Dam he has his trucks loose He came to south bank once in the late 80s shooting a video. We missed him by chance of a few hours a few months later we missed natus as well. Never mind happy to have grown up in that era
Gonz reminds me of me what I was 13. I actually met him once at the Petaluma skatepark in 1995 or 6 thereabouts. He gave me a tee shirt. I think it was right after or right before Phil Shao died.
the gonz, one of gods own prototypes, a high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production, too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Good one.
LoL.... LOVE IT🤣
nah he's just on the spectrum
it's good to see he's still nuts
Some of the old Vert guys guys can't kick flip a switch kick flip ya dunka love people
Mathew Harmer I cant tell what the hell u are saying? Are you seriously trying to talk shit to gonz!
@@getsaucedon9313 as if I believe a word you have to say the computer has nothing to do with a live skateboard skate ok
@@getsaucedon9313 I remember seeing mark skateboarding live in the city square in Melbourne to
@@getsaucedon9313 some times you can see a picture of skateboarding another one let's see the footage I was there and I remember you might here a story about a trick or you did it
A wood wall with posters all over it "this spot is perfecto"
He skates in adidas powerlifting shoes.
+Jarek Moorman My old skate buddy used to street skate in Doc Marten boots, he was bloody good too.
Mark skates in shoes
Who doesn’t am I right bois
Holy yeah! I used to wear em in highschool for both gym class and skating after school they were super light and very comfortable though thin not good for cold skating lol
He even rides a bike/commutes like you would imagine Mark Gonzalez would. Incredible character and style
BDS board, Adidas powerlifting shoes & a Patagonia jacket. I could purchase all these things and still never have the style and awesomeness of Mark. Best skater hands down
My initials are BDS but does it mean Boycott Divestment and Sanctions?
You obviously don’t know what BDS stands for otherwise your perspective would be sharply different.
he represents a point and state of mind in life we all want to be at
not even a joke
***** like when ur 5 years old
Just discovered this holy fuck--amazing, its like bob dylan said about woody guthrie, you could listen to his songs and "learn how to live"--this is a lesson from the great gonz about how to live the life
This has inspired me to start skating again at age 40
dope!!!
I watch this every single day before I go skate! So good!
Like the Robyn Williams of skateboarding or somethin'
This is why getting old can be excellent, kids. If he were 18, he'd be in central booking 15 seconds into the video. Mid-40s, he's just a crazy old dude that should be given a wide berth.
vockins lmfao
Lol pretty normal in NY
He always was like dat
Man gonz makes everything look fun
Thats because he is having fun.
that's because this is skateboarding
I love this guy. The world is his fucking playground.
I love how Gonz still skates as stylish as if it was 91, like video days. I want an 87-88 shape deck.
This wacky shit is what MAKES the Gonz so special!! I truly wish more skaters could be more like this and not be worried about who the best is.....
He is the best.
So true.
Gonz is the best skater for me anytime.
hes the fucking man, man! he boardslid that barrier with that board :O Love him!!
fuck everything about what or how or should you do in skateboarding,just have fun!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll skate forever that way. RESPECT to mark.
I want a 5 hour day in the life of gonz
Mark makes me think of something Einstein said “the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is it’s servant, we have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift”

Gonz is out of his mind...I like that
keeping the spirit of skateboarding alive. he is a dying breed
haha intentionally doin 3 flips at 50 yrs. what a guy.
His mind is so free,I try to skate the same way now. Inspiration.
He truly inspires. That is a gift from him to all of us. Thanks for everything Mark G Joe V
Always my favorite
gonz never changes, love him!
I stop skating like 15 years ago and watching again Gonz it has makes me feel that once you felt in love with the skateboard you can't just put it away and I will start again skating..
thanks marc for being such an inspiration for the very first time I saw u..
you are the real state of mind for the skateboard..
and the real meaning of what is skate about it..
I feel like riding a bike like a maniac right now.
thatsmyrail i do all the time i love it yeah the public look at you weird and shout if you get in there way but i don't give shit, gonz has inspired me not give a shit what others think.. And just be yourself
Inspiration! Love that you can genuinely tell he's having fun skating! The greatest!
Mark Gonzales is my favorite artist of all time. His drawings are ok too.
didnt expected him to land that tre-flip o.o
I love little Gonz slices of life. They're magical.
i wish more people were like the Gonz. we would have a much better time on this earth.
Watching him just roll down the street is enough to make me skate. He makes those ten inch boards look good.
I love watching Gonz videos like these. They never get old.
Mark’s inner child survived and it shows big time
hahaha i like how he yells ah biiitch! right next to that lady
He makes skateboarding look so much fun!
“This is a great spot” *skates the sidewalk he’s been cycling all day 😂 I fucking love gonz
He's the fucking funniest person ever
easily my favorite skateboarder these days...easy squeezie.
This dude still has it at almost 50, shit at that age I don't even think I wanna even run or walk and gonz just riding a bike and skating at that age props to him
The first thing I said to myself was, "Who the hell rides a board like that?!"...The second thing was, "It's the Gonz, he can do whatever the fuck he wants!"
Welcome skateboards.
I know, I'm 40 years old, grew up riding them, just haven't seen one in a very long time....Last month I bought an Elephant Street Axe, awesome board, old school shape and dimensions.
everybody can do whatever they want
3:58 hahaha "aw that was weak" that got me so good
gonz just roams the earth looking for fun. I fucking love what a d who he is. so free.
Freaking Bad ASS! Huge fan of Gonzo when I was a little kid and t goes to show that he still gots it!
Gonz has good taste & cigars too!
Hunter s. Thompson of skateboarding!! Hells yeah!!
I love how he just ends a line with chucking his board at a construction sign. The guy is platinum status
the gonz is the best
Thanks for putting a smile on my face ‼️😆🤙🏼
Skating is the only thing I love in this increasingly intolerant country. Race, gender, and sexual preference seem not to matter to pros. Seeing the Gonz ripping in his, old, graceful, and free spirited ways restore some faith to humanity to me. ✌
R Navarrete It's all fun. Till you get kicked out.
+That Guy Again.
lmao he skating in power lifting shoes i love gonz
The man the legend
always a kid at heart
omfg this is three greatest video I've seen this year. there would be no street sk8ing.. well it wouldn't b nearly as good anyways... without this creative mans ability to do something different than what all the "cool" kids were doing back in the day. MUCH RESPECT. The world needs more people like gonz. thanks for making mine and my friends lives more fun growing up .Stay well. d(-_-)b
Gonz is the embodiment of freedom for street skating, Jay adams is freedom in pool riding. Thats how I look at it =)
I'm I the only one who gets major yucko the clown vibes from the Gonz? 🤣🔥
hes still got it
Gonz can 360 flip a fucking 2 × 4 dude can skate anything lol. Gonz is the man !!!
Perfect blend of positivity and creativity in skate boarding inspiring !😉
i wish i can have a skate sesh with the Gonz, i would have soooooo much fucken fun, no doubt.
The legend living
Geez. I LOVE his skating!
I would pay money to see a part 2
I watched Mark win Oceanside '85 Streetstyle a few minutes ago. The interviewer asked Mark what he did to prepare. Mark said practice. He beat Caballero and Hosoi. Mark built the foundation to shred for life.
Gonz is the Man
Like a kid! Just enjoying life and having fun!
he is skating in weightlifting shoes which is actually insane ?, they are designed to have no flex... I've been thrown into space with question marks as stars
I think theyre the new addidads mark gonz Sb's.
gonz for PRESIDENT
Gonz is the king.
watching this always makes me happy.
that's the life, man
He's fkn nutts,but in a good way,love watching him
it must be incredibly difficult to film Mark. It seems like he would be a perfect candidate for a GoPro commercial not because what he is doing is physically 'extreme' its just that his style/personality is amazing.
Once in a lifetime kind of act 🎬. The Gonz
My very first real skateboard was The Vision Gator by Mark Gonzales.
1987 Great Year.
gonz is such a badass
What a video. Dam he has his trucks loose He came to south bank once in the late 80s shooting a video. We missed him by chance of a few hours a few months later we missed natus as well. Never mind happy to have grown up in that era
Gonz is still the gonz. Hilarious
Hes more hyped up than normal in this video.
Boardsliding that barrier at the end at that age is rad af
If he ever ages and winds up in a senior home... they’re in trouble.
dude, he's skating Orb wheels!
The best wheels in my opinion. Started skating them last year.
for those that don’t know what Gonz looked like skating 20+ years ago, go to 05:01 that’s him. we OGs still worship Gonz
Damn he riding his old board... COOL!!!!
Gonz reminds me of me what I was 13. I actually met him once at the Petaluma skatepark in 1995 or 6 thereabouts. He gave me a tee shirt. I think it was right after or right before Phil Shao died.
Deep urban skating on 54, 101's. He's def. the man!
gonzo make skating look fun. makes u want to skate.
Nice Gonz's "PUMA" shoes!!!!😂😂😂
he would do my fucking head inn.... good on him!
watch diz every damn dey
Shit, I could watch Gonz skate any deck for days . . . .
Not sure if Gonz plays upto the cameras that much but the randomnes of the dude makes me laugh!
The powerlifting shoes had me dead 😂
Got a lot of respect towards him, very original dude
The world would be a better place if more people were like gonz.
A Good Ole' NYC Line Like No Other..
skating in the city is the best would love to run into this guy epic day
I could watch Gonz skate an old school deck for days . . . .
He has the energy of a 12 year old boy, for better or for worse
GONZ SURE DOES HAVE FUN
it was probably 3-4 years ago when i first saw this, i thought this man was just a crazy homeless dude. how wrong i was...
