- Dave Duncan tells stories about when he met Mark Gonzales in 1985 - it's so cool hearing skateboarding history first-hand from someone who was there in the thick of it. Dave was a pro skater and then team manager for Alva and tells us how he became an announcer for contests. We also talk about how skaters became am / pro in the 1980s without social media or camera phones! Remember, video cameras were newish tech and cost thousands of dollars to own one back then! Check out all of the cool vintage footage & photos of Dave and the Gonz from the 70's 80's and 90's.

That SK8 TV footage gave me flashbacks.
Mark Gonzalez is significant to Skateboarding.
A bit of an understatement......
Are you sure, mate? LOL!!!!!
@@user-kn9ci5zm2p not an understatement. Mark Gonzales, Natas Kaupas, Rodney Mullen, Steve Rocco, Neil Blender, Jeff Philips, Monty Nolder, Jay Smith, Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Ed Nadalin, Steve Olson. A few names in a long list of dudes and chicks who made a big impact for the culture of skating with acts that seem small at the time but end up being a huge cause and effect in the long run.
49 and still can't find anything close to the cultural/psychological anomaly that is skateboarding. As a 35+ year skater, I'm glad that skateboarding has allowed me to gauge other things in terms of their radness, but nothing has ever materialized as fecund, dense, and fucking gnarly as skateboarding. I've seen less wack shit and more love from this community than anywhere else over my years. What a great check-in throughout life.
Just from 3rd person alone, bodies on the line and art in the oven... so much gratitude.
Oops - and Mark G. My understanding the of the visceral state is almost entirely by way of this homie. Gonz was always a gnarly oscillation at every iteration. He's definitely as stream of consciousness as it gets. I wish he made a techno-hiphop-panflute album, though. Love.
If you dont get inspired by the gonz as a artist on any level, you're not alive. Check the pulse.
Duncan needs to write a book. Hes a skateboarding encylopedia.
Vert was king in the 80's but my dude was MG. 90% of the boards I skated in the 80's were Vision Gonz boards.
It’s always interesting to hear new stories about the legendary Mark Gonzales. He is by far one of the most inspiring and influential skaters of the last forty years !
Need a longer Dave interview! That was great
THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL INFORMATIVE PLEASANT INTERVIEW.
keep em coming Deville@!!@ legend access!
Yeah Duncan!!!!
NICE ONE!
Crazy I remember skating a contest in 89 on a vision board . Natas and some other dudes from California did a demo and tore up all are ramps but it was all good .
Epic! Duncan rules!!
So good to hear some stories i wanted to eagerly know about back in the days I started being isolated in germany with my variflex complete. ‘85 ❤ Gonz forever! ❤
double D has been everywhere and done everything twice, knows how to party and still shows up to do his job in the morning somehow. He is a legend for many reasons. Dude needs his own documentary . also Deville, It would be cool if you could find some old footage and make a video about the old skate zone in Goleta back in the 90"s that was our home and johnny Oliver was the man. i lost all my footage and people need to know how rad that indoor skatepark really was designed. taj ma wall !!!
Great video, very well done. Dave Duncan is legendary. Gonz… well. You know.
Class video
Harrow (uk) summer sessions were epic, the pool was recently dug out and refinished and this crazy bastard hit it with a longboard. Tore the arse out of it.
I was hoping someone would get some footage from the event. Thanks for sharing! Also, KILLER interview - Duncan is incredibly insightful and smart.
nice upload
Dave Duncan is a LEGEND. He rips hard in a pool.
We were so poor that nobody had a video recorder. All our cool stuff was never recorded different times.
Great episode
This is awesome. Thx. Also the guys u got on powell now are great. Such a good team
Shit yeah. Paved his own path in skateboarding, art and beyond. Mullen, Natas and Gonz pretty much created modern street skating. Grateful I lived and skated through this era. Good times. Getting old is lame, plus harder to skate😮 Keep rippin' old timers.
I absolutely love this. Thanks !
Glad you like it!
same
The voice of skateboarding 👍👍
Ever since Grosso died, yea...RIP We need to hear more from these dudes while they are still here.
Know your history kids
Good stuff👍👍
Thanks Deville!
That's the first time I ever heard about Gonz been dyslexic , I only knew him as the grand Master of Skateboarding, the godfather of street skate, the genius, da mf g.o.a.t.
IFF the dyslexia piece is true then matks artistic nature, sk8 ability, and behavior makes more sense.
autism, adhd, dyslexia are like a family in the same house. sometimes you can have dyslexia + adhd which is a challenging life. or you can just have one of the neurodivergent disorders.
@@DYNE540 I found out just by the way he typed. Much like you do!
Dave was wrong about no schedule because they were all in Münster for the Titus competition. Met all these dudes over there in.’87.
Hi Deville,do you by any chance know a Mike Scwartz at Skate 1,because I'm amazed,I ordered something on friday just gone and it arrived this Monday morning! And I'm in Wales 🏴 in the U.K.Thats awesome service and if you can pass on my thanks great company 👍
I love that Duncan mentioned Gonz might be on the spectrum. I am autistic and skateboarding has always been the place I fit in most. Skateboarders are inclusive of weirdos like me because skateboarding has been shaped by weirdos like me. I love that
87', year of the dreadlocks..
MG said Vision offered more $$ per board, likely a difference of 50 cents.
Bigger company, etc. Mark's mom said you might as well go for the $$.
G O N Z was/ is the BEST ! ! !
Right on Duncan! 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡
Gonz was on Alva!?!?! Did you say that? I must be having a Mandela Effect!?!
Oh my blackout period. I didn't see a skateboard magazine where I lived as a kid between the demise of Skateboarder and Thrasher being at bookshops in the mid-80's.
This is great but Dave Duncan sounds like a vocoder, which is way cooler
Well I think it is Erick dressen ok thanks mate smile laughing love people love you
💯🛹
Sponsor Spencer Nuzzi!!!!
I saw Duncans tshirt and thought "oh I remember black flys (from the mid 90s), I wonder what their website looks like?" -Fuq! -it looks bad! I'm loving these gonz vids where fools are talking about Gonz and Gonz is nowhere in sight. I'll click imediately on interview's about him with whoever's willing to spill the beans, its good content. "yeah sure I'll talk about Gonz's dyslexia" -Duncan obviously is a person with decent intentions. I just found that funny. "homeless kid" lol
Gonz is probably the worst artist of all time
And ur probably the biggest kook of all time.
Great episode
