Jakob Fuchs Laird I agree with that. But The Gonz has called skating a sport multiple times on various interviews... That's interesting. Mike V on the other hand is pretty anti on the sport label.

I'm so envious of his care free approach to EVERYTHING. Talking to strangers, doing big tricks in front of people, skating through New York traffic. RESPECT

The thing about Gonz is that nowadays people watch him when he shows up in other videos like he does in some FA, Jenkem and so on. But because he just cruises around and is being weird and not really doing much skating in modern videos, the younger generation don't even realise, just how good he really was. He was a creative beast. Never forget

That kickflip through the handrail is otherworldly

Mark's street skating could have possibly been the original inspiration for "Zoo York".. He's got the funnest style and one of my main heroes thought I get nervous for him going in and out of all those peeps on the streets. So rad though and almost always in control and then controls they out of control. We Skateboarders are lucky. I can't think of too many scenes that have such dynamic personalities and approach to life.

Wow never get tired of watching his footage. It's amazing to still see footage of him to this day!

His style is amazing

The part at 10:24 is one of the sickest things I've seen. It's not super complicated but flows so nicely and sets him back up to his normal stance

AwesomeBill FromDawsomeville dude the shit this mn thought of.. he was so fuckin sick got damn may the Gonz live forever

OG original gonzo

Good shit never gets dated... respect to the Gonz!

Gonz's attitude and abilities allowed him to show us all our own possibilities and those of the concrete, brick, asphalt and steel around us. It was important to me, because we didn't have parks, most pools were vinyl lined, and there was only one backyard ramp in the area, and that was in an adjacent smaller city. We skated street. Street. We needed to see someone doing what we did. Gonz...

I understand young kids saying Gonz isn't "that good" or whatever because they didn't grow up in the context of when people weren't pushing boundaries because coming out of the 80s skateboarding was A LITTLE standard, their context is tre flipping onto handrails and 1,000,0000 stairs but those tricks wouldn't have been invented if not for guys like him, and Mullen and Tony going fucking at it back then. I love seeing creativity flourish in any discipline, it's a beautiful thing. Even if it's not the most tech shit ever, just be a little humble.

How can someone thumb down this video? Mark Gonzales is the man! My first two skateboards were Mark Gonzales decks. Love this.

Pure Legend! Much love Gonz! Thank you for setting the bar so high!

I remember buying all these an rewatching his parts over and over gonz is my hero

Favorite skater of all time, grew up skating Gonz’ boards. Dude Is so rad. Nobody was doing stuff like that back then. “You got two bucks?”

Never tired of watchin' Gonz!

Much love Gonz.. been skating for about 14 years today. You inspired me originally as a kid. Mad respect dude

It's so awesome no one bites his style, no flick nessecary, no dumb chilling tre flips. It's so refreshing to see a dude with a natural style.

I know, his kickflips are look so good.

If you are kid and watching this and don’t know who this guy is. What you are watching is pure style! Try and replicate that. And if you think doing a kick flip every other trick is all there is watch this over and over again.

Gonz inspires me so much its un describable, its incredible how he balances between creativity and skill, fun, and even social aspects his spots................................. most of all hes having fun it so awesome, this really separate him into a legend category all its own, exery time I hear a skateboard in nyc I check to see its mark, but you can usually tell. Great Classics jason best one yet!

Mark's lines are otherworldly smooth.

Saw the Gansz at a skate show in Hawaii in 1989, doing a rail slide on his board upside down during the practice sessions. Realized he looked at everything differently and was super inspired!

Four years later and it’s still an amazing video

I remember watching this when i was 15.. now im 22, nuts, and i still love skateboarding

Mark is one of the reasons I started skating looked at one of his skating videos and I liked it and look I'm already pro after 3 years later

beautiful and timeless

And he still makes perfect sense. And he's my favorite Skater. Andy

The Gonz, Tom Penny, Terry Kennedy, Daewon, all guys who made me love skateboarding.

I’m grateful for this guy.

Gonz really brings out the skater in you.

One of my favorite oldschool skaters.

FUCK! This IS skateboarding. The world as a gigantic set of amazing possibilities. Just the fucking relentless freedom of it. Very few things in the world combine imagination and freedom so well.

So much fun to watch.

That rail jump at the end of his Real to Reel part was so sick I remember when that video came out loved it.

Always loved his board, had good pop! Gonz ahead of his time for sure!

His nickname should have been Man of Steel. The guy takes the narliest slams I've ever seen and just keeps on going, still to this day.

I didn't understand this dude when I was a kid. I get it now. Unbelievable.

so amazing, so inspiring...

Was there ever any-one like Gonz?True original.And think if it wasn't for skate boarding we would never of know him.
