I think the reason the Gonz is still so popular today is not just because of his skating style, but that you can actually see his quirkiness and his way of thinking in these vids and his skating. Gotta love the guy!
You know what I love about the Gonz is he always has a different shaped board. He'll ride anything and skate anything and always looks like he's having the most fun even though he does basic stuff! Inspirational guy to watch!
Doing what Mark does at this age isn't basic stuff. Most people are into that until they're in their mid 30s and then they can't move a single leg anymore. Respect to the ones who predated us. Basic golden rule.
Mark IS skateboarding, what an amazingly smooth and original way of skating. That is one cool guy, I hope to meet him someday, one of my childhood heroes
This is the definition of skate life.. he truly is skating life. Living it. Not worried about sponsors, getting that right footage, or having the cleanest trick.. just living life on a skateboard. I envy that, I still have my skateboards- but, man I've taken so much damage throughout the years from chasing that sponsorship/pro dream; that I just crashed & burned out.
Thanks for posting this video! Really very entertaining. As other people have said before, I believe Mark Gonzales is a favorite skater due to the fact that he reminds people the simple fun that skateboarding can provide. Sure, doing back-side bigflips down 10 stairs is an admirable feat of determination and skill, but we shouldn't forget the lighthearted fun of riding around and doing simple maneuvers.
haha, i started watching that at work but with no sound, and i KNEW i was missing out on something big. i saved it to watch later and so glad i did, that dude is hilarious! so funny the way he throws money around, he spent like $500 on a hat and some stamps.
I'm so glad mark has "confetti" like that. lol he never finished this story about the burger joint, which makes me wonder if he's just making this stuff up out of his head or does he really the smartest person of random facts. lol
lol am I the only one who realizes hes drinkin Canadian dry tonic water , you clean your carpet with that shit or mix with jin, thats intense gotta love the gonz
I always think about Non-Skaters interacting with Pro's in videos. To the people, it was just "That day where that skater and a guy with a camera did something", but little do they know that A.) They just met one of the GOATs, and B.) People will be watching and commenting on the video of it, 10 years later. Kinda crazy.
this guy is my god. that old shop owner seemed to have an instant click with the Gonz. Only GOOD VIBES..! DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM! Some people are jerks though.
I can watch funny comedies and watch thriller movies but nothing keep me on edge like watching mark gonzalez riding down a New York street. They should make a show called ‘the gonz’. I’m sure it’d be a hit.
Going thru a lot of random vids of Gonz? yeah... Me to.
2021 still going lol
2022 still at it
@@joestanley8966 same
no doubt
This binge made me buy a krooked board with weird shape and set up a gonz-style-board!
RIP Charlie Pivnick. He just passed away in August at 95 years old. Seemed like a cool, stylish guy.
Just like Mark Gonzales.
An old timers old timer
watching mark just ride the streets makes me want to go skate.
Hell yeah!!!
im glad that some one filmed this
Gonz has no fear of automobiles.
Little confetti, with the right smooth talking you can have anything
watch this firecracker
*AHEUAHHHH*
gotta confess that was pretty funny
if any of these people realized the kind of skateboarding royalty thats passing them by..
still one of the best gonz videos ever, if not THE best. i remember watching this more than the actual krooked khronicles video lmao
"I'm getting old dude, I couldn't even jump that car!" Ahahahaha
Never realized the Gonz was completely out of his mind...
love how stoked is on doing firecrackers
watching mark live life makes me happy haha
Live yo life too man
@@BlueprintsForHeadaches 💯 💯
i could watch mark videos all day.
why don't you lol

then he just pulls a 4-stair ollie to a curb out of nowhere haha
By basic you mean invented street skating and kick assery?
Doing what Mark does at this age isn't basic stuff. Most people are into that until they're in their mid 30s and then they can't move a single leg anymore. Respect to the ones who predated us. Basic golden rule.
@@leacamara6367 he's still riding 10 inch wide 15 inch wheelbase boards at 50+, he's just that guy.
Mark IS skateboarding, what an amazingly smooth and original way of skating. That is one cool guy, I hope to meet him someday, one of my childhood heroes
they say never meet your heroes, but i think mark is an exception. it would be magical to hang out with him.
@Inexpressable that's only for people that think their heros have no flaws

I've been hit by cars twice while skating, and I'm always worried for Mark when I watch these videos. Dude is a superhero!

the fact the Gonz collects stamps, makes him that much cooler
I'm glad someone appreciates the Tadich Grill
I've never seen a skater so good at marketing himself than Mark. And good on him. He's very good with the camera!
Thanks for that , it put a smile on my face and now I am ready to get out and see the world
haha, i started watching that at work but with no sound, and i KNEW i was missing out on something big. i saved it to watch later and so glad i did, that dude is hilarious! so funny the way he throws money around, he spent like $500 on a hat and some stamps.
I grew up watching the gonz back in the 80's and i still don't get tired of him. hes amazing and funny,
hahaha he didnt really go out the fire escape
I'm so glad mark has "confetti" like that. lol he never finished this story about the burger joint, which makes me wonder if he's just making this stuff up out of his head or does he really the smartest person of random facts. lol
I'm pretty sure he's making it up. Almost for sure. He's a genius like that.
Deffo making it up he's not even San Francisco he's in New York
could watch this all day
watching gonz goof around is very relaxing...
firecracker!
Gonz is like the David Attenborough of Skateboarding
Just the goat that's all
Damn Gonzo just spent 215 bucks on stamps and 300 on clothes. Krooked's been doing well
Imagine the price of this shit now, 9 years later
dude spent 300 bucks on a hat and couple pairs of socks XD
Cant watch this god skate forever!
The firecracker always has me laughing my ass off :)
I wish this vid was 7 hours long
I'm gonna try and stop by the stamp shop and get some stamps 🤣
AMAZING
lol am I the only one who realizes hes drinkin Canadian dry tonic water , you clean your carpet with that shit or mix with jin, thats intense gotta love the gonz
i feel like something is connecting in my brain watching his moves and listening his words.
Gonz. What a unique character.
this is way better than some kids part banger after banger.
Watching this, you really get the feeling of you don't know what's going to happen next. Mark rules...
what a bro
thats what skateboarding is all about
Hey, where is the other 6 hours and 50 minutes of video? 😢
this is skating to it fulls this it what makes my happy
I always think about Non-Skaters interacting with Pro's in videos. To the people, it was just "That day where that skater and a guy with a camera did something", but little do they know that A.)

if you want to know what mushrooms feel like just hang out with gonz
Mark; *goes on a tangent about the Tadich Grill*
me; what an inspiration
The tour guide impression haha
this guy is my god. that old shop owner seemed to have an instant click with the Gonz. Only GOOD VIBES..! DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM! Some people are jerks though.
3:31 "watch this firecracker"
legendary.
Mark knows how to fuck up some commas
gonz makes me so god damn happy
"because i was too fast and i had a sharp eye"

I could wath 24 hours with Mark no problem. such a cool guy
that first shot, is it in christchurch ?
Gonz has such a awesome style when he skkates, he looks like is having so much while doing it.
Are those thunder trucks on the zip zinger?
whats the first track that plays please?
Hahaha, all that stuff about the Tadich grill was off the top of his head
balanzz I get more joy from this man than anything else, besides skateboarding.... that and the tadish grill part was hilarious
Lance Mountain on a Stamp, was the Gonz for real?
I'd hate/love to be his filmer
Mark is so rad....did he really find Lance Mountain on a stamp???
I make sure I watch a Gonz video everyday to remind myself not to take life so seriously.
Anyone know the song? I've heard it before like so many times and dig it... o wait it's this same video
Mark is the truest ❤
song at 5:07?
RIP H.T. railroad luminary and restauranteur
Legend!
Brasil !!!
damn still so much energy in the guy what a badass and he likes to collect stamps just epic!!
Mark Gonzales is the reason playing in traffic is cool
being a legendary professional skateboarder and company owner
The Gonz once said he wasn't worried about losing a tooth or breaking a bone.
DUDE I GOT MAD KICKFLIPS FOR THIS CITY!
Legendary G
MARK IS THE SKATE SPIRIT

this guy is like the syd barret we didnt deserve
I knew Gabe was filming just from the laugh
wish this actually lasted 7 hours though
I am proud to say that im riding a Gonzales board right now
I can watch funny comedies and watch thriller movies but nothing keep me on edge like watching mark gonzalez riding down a New York street. They should make a show called ‘the gonz’. I’m sure it’d be a hit.
What the heck did he buy? They never showed it. A shirt?
