@@SatelliteSoundLab Ha!!! Wait, if you mean…c’mon, it’s 20/20 something. Jokes are not funny or acceptable anymore. Oh, neither is the vert button. Damn. I got me there. If someone could just shoot me a dm when I can smile?.?.?…
In 2000 I got to skate with Gonz in SF late night. I was doing switch kickflips and Gonz was asking me how do I pop them up high like that. I just said "I learned them from you, man". Probably the highlight of my life.
I'm out of shape and over weight but this podcast has inspired me to pick up a board for the first time in 20 years. Everyone at work got a good laugh when I rolled up drenched in sweat on my board this morning 😅
Erik Koston, you're a super chill human being and i am super impressed that you've managed to avoid breaking any bones while skating. Very inspiring for this aging skater. Namaste and Mahalo
Eric and Tony still sound like they're in their 20s hahah jason always wildin! Kareem Campbell interview!? That would be a rare feat. I'll be here waiting! 🫡
Its awesome to here Eric talk about his skating and influence. Loving the episode, its great just to see a skating podcast with Eric Koston. Been waiting awhile for this one!!! Great interview from all involved 👍
I love when they have THPS alumni on the show because they always end up talking about little-known BTS facts. Who else is left? Muska, Margera, Glifberg, Burnquist...
57:18 Sad my boy Geoff Rowley wasn't mentioned.. always my pick in THPS! shoutout to Rune too though, remember being in Fælledparken with him when the new Vert got build, only time i ever skated Vert.
@@gisharris4562 I wonder if there is some kind of bad blood or drama there between Koston and maybe the Crailtap family. Crob regularly mentions Koston in his top 5 best skaters, but I wonder if maybe Koston just doesn't want to get involved. Who knows.
I my god! I can relate to Eric Koston. lol. I can easily do a nollie inward heelflip or a switch inward heelflip. The legs just don't understand it the other way.
Great episode. Pure skate talk with Koston for the whole show? With bonus clips? I'm in! And as requested, I'm commenting for the algorithm ...and because I'm gonna keep saying this thing until maybe it happens -request to get Chris Miller on the show.
Amazing that Eric's injuries were so minimal after decades of crazy skating. Also incredibly humble guy for all of his accomplishments. Be awesome to have a nice surf w him in some good uncrowded waves.
Such a great guest! Also want to correct my comment about Jason not taking promos seriously in an earlier episode. I’m looking to switch from cigarettes and looking into Füm now!
I have watched all three of you guys for all my life, lemme swoon like Wayne and Garth….. I’m not worthy , lol. Much love guys, keepin old guys like us cool
Hey Tony PLEASE bring THAT tour back man! I'm 37 and LOVED that gigantic skatepark tour with mike V and everyone...PLEASE do that again with espn or whoever!
I remember being a dork and a nerd and a "dirty" in middle school and then when that game came out, popular girls and boys were literally befriending me. It literally changed my whole life. I was one of like 12 skaters in my whole town. I had the look and everything before it was cool to them. Over night I was cool. It helped my self esteem and allowed me to start connecting to people. Thank you Tony.
Glad to finally get a long-form Koston interview. Hope it’s good practice for him to eventually give us a nine club episode. A bit hard to enjoy this knowing how much better Crob would’ve lead the conversation. Y’all need headphones so you don’t talk over each other.
Haven’t watched since some of the first few episodes and really like all of the production upgrades that have happened since then! Also like the chill vibe of the convo with Koston
Love your skating Koston! Coming from a born and raised San Bernardino skater! I sadly don't skate anymore :/ when guitar came into my life, it kinda left less and less time for skating. I still have 3 decks, a couple longboards, and like 5 penny boards when I do get the itch tho :) don't live in Cali anymore either, never thought I'd live anywhere else, but time does things. Cheers guys!
One of the first DVDs I ever viewed was the first and second trick tip videos you guys did. The next one was the skatepark tour videos. Thank you all for your contributions to skateboarding and to me personally.
We now have been thru a whole lot of guests.. I know this ain't Rune Glifberg!!! But ok... I can wait.. *edit - At least you talked a bit about him this episode :) Another great episode.
To learn that Kostone hasn't had any serious injuries is mind numbing ... He was the god of pop back in the day, I can remember nearly literally drooling over all of his flip tricks, the pop, the catch, bolts clean and consistent as all hell. Dude is a legend.
For a lot of us, the pros were a thing from the other side of the world you only saw in video's. The trick tip video was mindblowing at the time were we could only watch a video part to figure out how to do a trick. Man half the time we didnt even understand what we were seeing.
Gonzs pyramid fast plant was sick...i wanna see that front side pivot he did on the wall..i remember the pic..that was such a great contest.. so much footage
That’s so funny back in the 80’s I thought I was the only one to steal wood from the neighborhood construction site to build our half-pipe. Because of that ramp I really started get good sk-8-ing back in 85-87. Back then we couldn’t always get our parents to drive to del-mar and Sk-8. Hawk was my inspiration back in 86 he came with others to our middle school. After seeing him and others on that U no flat bottom ramp I was sold. In 89-90 street skating really depressed Vert skaters. What a time.
Prologue. “DO A KICKFLIP”. To me, always, always, always meant turn your grip away as a Shamrock Shake is incoming . When “jocks” were a thing. That (and apparently LESTER!!! from Skatr or Die) seemed to be the only reference to skateboarding they had. So before you got popped with a soda pop drive by you’d hear “DO A KICKFLIP”. As an old head, I am proud as hell to say, I recently just got “DO A KICKFLIP’d, and I DID A KICKFLIP!!! No big deal, got ‘em bolts, everyday. HA!!! Koston just made that shit cool. Love!!!
I'm so shocked you guys didn't mention his Nike opportunity and all the controversy in the community regarding big non-skate corporate brands breaking into skateboarding... him and Paul! I was in support of that decision! 🙌🏻
Skaters were wearing nike basketball shoes before nikes made skate shoes. Why do you think the nike dunk is such a popular shoe? Sure people got mad when nike started making skate shoes but it would have been dumb of them not to make them since people were already riding their product.
@@tynanbarnes6506 , indeed, there was already a skate community that embraced Nike, but it was quite divided, amongst the hash vs. fresh skaters... Wild times. I mean, the deals with Nike, Adidas and New Balance arguably gave skateboarding the corporate recognition it needed by b-corps, leading to real support for womens skateboarding. Koston was the first domino.
I hope you guys keep this show going for years to come. I haven’t enjoyed listening to people talk so much since my commute to college in the late nineties listening to The Howard Stern show.
"when you're out surfing someone will yell do a kickflip?" "that's inappropriate" "that's like yelling to me, when i'm on a skateboard, to do a kickflip"
Eric has stuffs to talk about. He's been in the industry through the 90s, 00s until now. He has stories to tell, throwbacks, going down memory-lane stories to share just like you guys@. To have gonz around in the conversation would be interesting to have. I understand he's pretty hard to book or is he?
skate videos were kinda of expensive where we came up, and a little hard to find.. so beating THPS levels to see new skate edits was a pretty big deal. it helped alot with learning to skate.
An hour of Koston talking about vert is unintentionally genius.
Fax
Pure weeds. Loved it.
We used to have a button for that.
hey don't talk about jordan richter like that@@furiouslester
@@SatelliteSoundLab Ha!!! Wait, if you mean…c’mon, it’s 20/20 something. Jokes are not funny or acceptable anymore. Oh, neither is the vert button. Damn. I got me there.
If someone could just shoot me a dm when I can smile?.?.?…
never knew koston had an older brother, let alone an older skater brother. thats awesome. thank you koston brother senior for help create this legend
Tony shutting down conversations is hilarious 😂
Y’all could have went 3 more hours. We need part 2
Already a possibility
Yeah they need to do a longer format. Let them go as long as they all naturally can..
yes longer ones please!
I was gonna say that!
I wish they would just give up on having the 1 hour rule, talk until the conversations over and then end the podcast.
Eric Koston seems properly AMAZING, everything I’ve ever seen about him over the last 30 years, he always comes across so well
That trick tips video was a daily watch for me for years! Eric is the best
This show deserves 10-100x more attention than it gets ❤
No it doesn't lil timmy
Not even 10 minutes in and I'm reminded of all the love. These dudes love each other so much, and share so much love for skating. Its a rare sight...
Dude your old and no all there....whatever guy

that was my first board in 1987 VIsion Gonzales with this monster concave.
@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 what does that have to do with anything other Gonz??? Kook🤣
Would love to bump into him on the streets of nyc doing his thing
So cool
Liquidpixel2055 only a loser would comment negative things. Smh what're you 12
I'm out of shape and over weight but this podcast has inspired me to pick up a board for the first time in 20 years. Everyone at work got a good laugh when I rolled up drenched in sweat on my board this morning 😅
Skated during a lunch break once. I came back sweaty af and my boss asked "are you okay?" lmao
don't stop!
Well done man.
@durpcity7420good on ya and cheers.
Keep going. You will just improve. Have fun and get fitter. Cheers.

one step closer to getting the Heath podcast ♥️✨ so far so good
Dude.... that would be the best.
yeah that ain't happening.
@@capo_di_capi yea agreed
Well it did @@capo_di_capi

i don't think they're gonna have Margera on. lol.
Kareem Campbell
I had that Tony Hawk trick tips vhs and it was the first time I ever heard of Koston. Taught me a lot...even the hardflips haha
I cracked up at the end when Ellis said "Ooh! Comment! We never say that!"
57:18 Sad my boy Geoff Rowley wasn't mentioned.. always my pick in THPS!
shoutout to Rune too though, remember being in Fælledparken with him when the new Vert got build, only time i ever skated Vert.
Tony Hawk skate park tour was the shit! Still watch it from time to time to this day, so many rad personalities, looked like a fun time! Do it again!
im sure we all been waiting for seeing these 3 together. koston is da bomb! thanks for that!
As amped as I am for this episode...Koston not being on The Nine Club is an injustice that needs to be righted.
Koston. Nine Club. Lets go.
l actually looked to see and was shocked to see he hasn't yet as well
What an odd comment for this channel. Enjoy the show!
@@MichaelSilverMedia right. a skateboard related comment regarding a skateboarding podcast on ANOTHER skateboard related podcast. odd.

And pressure flips are awesome. More obscure like a straight or inward!

He was super consistent and never really fell much. He would on a ton of occasions land stuff first try.
I used to own a trick tip video with Tony and Eric in it probably 15 years ago. Legends!
COMMENT FOR THE ALGORITHM!!
great episode! and yes please do another gigantic skatepark tour!
Best episode of Old Man podcast to date.
i love this podcast
Love seeing some of greats on here. Any chance we’ll get a Heath or Daewon episode?
Such a great guest! Also want to correct my comment about Jason not taking promos seriously in an earlier episode. I’m looking to switch from cigarettes and looking into Füm now!

Hey Tony PLEASE bring THAT tour back man! I'm 37 and LOVED that gigantic skatepark tour with mike V and everyone...PLEASE do that again with espn or whoever!
I’d pay to watch all those guys now
I would pay 100 dollars for a final gigantic skatepark tour DVD/Blu Ray/however we buy media nowadays. Alex Chalmers was one of my favorites as a kid

Not sure why Koston is so apprehensive to appear on the Nine Club...
Boy they barely tapped into it, but it was sick, we got his origin story which is rad!
They are getting GREAT guests and talking about themselves. Please let the guest talk...
bro for real, Wolf interrupts people too much when they're talking about something interesting
Damn! Almost didn't want this to end. Koston is the man!!!
This weant by SO FAST! Time flies when you are having fun with Hawk & Wolf!
Where does the time geo? 😁
Haven’t watched since some of the first few episodes and really like all of the production upgrades that have happened since then! Also like the chill vibe of the convo with Koston
20:44 Holy shit that's where my learning started. The videos you're talking about here.... time flies.
Those trick tip videos got me into skating
I was like 11/12 and fell in love w koston vibe and style
My first two skate videos I bought were Birdhouse The End, and Tony Hawks Trick Tips with Markovich, and Koston. Still skating at 37.
🔥
I always thought it was funny that I learned how to hard hardfilp in es Koston 3's I loved those shoes I wish I could find a pair nowadays
Love your skating Koston! Coming from a born and raised San Bernardino skater! I sadly don't skate anymore :/ when guitar came into my life, it kinda left less and less time for skating.

Koston the OG! Met him at the SB Chronicles Vol. 1 premiere. Def need Gigantic Skatepark Tour 2024.
Yes and we need bam to tail drop off the biggest thing in the park. And then have Mike V cave man the biggest thing in the park. Good times

Which one, the eS? the Nike Koston 1-3? The Lakai(kidding).....

Woo this is always the cherry on top of my sunday haha
skateboarding podcasts is literally one of the best things about the internet

Yuto started as a vert skater when he was small, then got to street and mixed the skills there, killing it in both.
Those tip trick videos back in the day were amazing
This and Chad Caruso on Nine club! It's a good day.
I only just realise the berrics is a combination of Berra and Eric, and a play on barracks
I once read a comment on a video stating " step yo podcast game up and put timestamps" ,
This podcast keeps getting better and better
What’s with the old picture! 😂😂😂😂😂
Love you guys!!!
I love how his audio in one of the tony hawk games was literally just him saying "don't choose me, I can't even hardflip" lol
Funny enough BATB was the only sport event I was watching and actually waiting for back at school)
I still have my Tony Hawk Trick tip videos😂 are used to watch them over and over and over
Eric to Ellis: “Why did you get out of your car and put a bag on”
Funniest thing ever. 😂😂😂 Eric’s a legend. Need Willy Santos on.
This is legit awesome.

Hawk and Wolf together make HALF.
eric is the best, crazy hearing Hawk and him grew up together. Never even knew
"when you're out surfing someone will yell do a kickflip?"
"that's inappropriate"
"that's like yelling to me, when i'm on a skateboard, to do a kickflip"
Tony is starting to look more like his father the older he gets. Happens to the best of us, cheers.
