    What a mesmerizing interview! Gonz is like Picasso, though I'm not sure if he's more the painter or the paintings. The conversation moves like his skating-wholly unique, disjointed, and seamless at the same time. He is one of the most versatile skaters we have, and thank goodness we have him. The random shared and complementary memories bestow laughs and nostalgia on us. Thank you for this.

    Oh my Gonz, this is so killer. The man, the myth, the legend. I've waited so long for this day. Thank you Tony. Once again, the Birdman delivers. When I think about it, that's more like a stork than a hawk. Life is so confusing sometimes.

    Jeff Phillips and Mark were my inspirations for getting into skating. We were watching skate videos on VHS tape, Jeff at Mt. Trashmore and then Mark at Oceanside. We didn't really have any ramps where we lived, and I'm not too fond of heights, so I gravatated more to street skating. Oh, the part about Tony's dad telling Mark to settle down and win one of the contests, I felt the same about Mark. I think he won that contest in Oceanside so easily, after that, he became a jokester at contests, playing around and trying really hard stuff while other skaters just played it safe and won. I always wanted him to win more, too.

    It's mental to see how far these two guys have come.I started skating in September 1987,brought a blue Caballero Steet/Indy159s/Crossbones95a and the Transworld w/lance Mountain interview and the Thrasher with Cab on the cover in the bones sweatpants.Even back then these two were arguably the biggest names in skating,however,skating was a proper underground subculture and it was fuckin awesome,but to witness the journey Tony&Gonz have undertaken from then to now is phenomenal,they're literal cultural icons and it's a beatiful thing to see because they've fuckin earnt it,what they've both acheived is phenomenal,nice one lads.

    Of course the Earth could only shake and tremble as these two people shared the same spacetime location. Two great dudes that go great together. Mark is just such a lovely human being. No artifice, no conceit, no dishonesty, no disdain for anyone or anything, just an earnest, sincere, humble soul. To see both Tony and Gonz appreciating each other's abilities and laughing like only old friends can is to know what contentment really is. You really get the feeling that hanging out with Gonz would make you feel loads better anytime or anywhere. One of the most beautiful moments was when Tony asked him what his favorite thing to do at a contest/skate event was and Gonz just guilelessly answers "I just loved being part of the scene." Somebody who just deeply enjoys and appreciates being with and around other skaters skating for the pure love and sheer fun of it. What a wonderful way to start the week.

    this duo was incredible! Ellis missed out for sure, but Gonz & Hawk together (and uninterrupted) was the way to go here.
