This man is the Jesus of skateboarding. "It's an addiction" It really is. I don't think anyone anticipated how hooked they'd become from just riding wood with wheels. My favorite addiction.
I've realized that some skateboarders are the most creative and intelligent people, with the most inspiring and powerful outlooks on life. People with outlooks like Mark Gonzales, Matt Rodriguez, Ray Barbee, and Andrew Reynolds are the reason why skateboarding is so attractive from start to finish. They remind you its for fun, that its a creative outlet, and to be yourself and live life your way. INSPIRING!
This is like the third time I've seen this. I'm not a skater tho. I love skateboarding and I skate, but I don't do it enough to consider myself a skater.
Mark LOVE IT so glad your doing your thang thats awesome!!! It was so long ago i remember when you used to come to the pad and my sister Tina Bowen would braid your hair lol!! Remembr when we were in my back yard and you were skating on my plastic skateboard and you did like a shit load of 360s and the back trucks broke off hahahahaaha good times. I am so happy for you good job Mark
I just remember him from old photos. It's nice to hear him tell us who he is. He is interesting guy. I think fun is the most important because you don't ride to be flusterated with a trick.
It's plain to see ~ Mark Gonzales is an all-round good-natured guy. Loveable. Sweet. Humble. Raw. Real. Artist. I wish I knew him. The real deal. What you see is what you get. _Integrity._ Youthful. Child-like. Endearing.
thx..mark i started skating agian after 10 years break...im 38 and back on the road...ok with a longboard...but hey..skateboarding is gliding..as an old freak in thigt panys said^^
I had to stop skating, it was my life ,my hip gave out . It took me 14 yrs to get a hip operation. It's funny now I'm still into it but I can't skate so I do everything else I can do to be part of it. To the point of younger skater think iam a poser they don't get it ,I skated till my body gave out . I literally gave my body to the the sport . That's sacrifice
Ok lets run down the list of who is on Nike shall we. Jordan, Kobe, Koston, P rod, Malto, Gino, A Olsen, Shane Oniell, I guess your right chief, Nike does suck hahahha
addidas should buy him a house with retirement...sucks that skate companys just dump you when you get old..im 40..my first pro model was a gonzales..1985..i live in tahoe and ive seen the top riders tn the worls that are mfucked up from drugs...mark gonzales still skates for fun..i think thats the seceret
that last part where he talks about not caring if someone laughs got to me I'm sitting at my table with tears..... Thanks Gonz
Real shit…..
HA HA!!!
"If you're not afraid to be laughed at, you could do so many things"
Absolutely

Agreed!
Not sure Andrew ever skated for fun. Maybe now,but overall his entire career was about pushing limits in his video parts.
watch this video at least once a week

"Sometimes I'll make moves that are too violent and I'll get depressed" ahahahah funniest thing ever
"In my opinion I've already achieved what I wanted to achieve, now it's just have fun"
man, that's some real freedom.
He is such a free spirit and I mad respect it, props to Mark Gonzalez

thank you mr gonzales
So much wisdom in this short piece....and emotional to!
This, by far is my favorite gonz interview just because of the relation he makes to running water and skateboarding.
most sincere man in the game

Dos Equis beer should sponsor this guy as the worlds most interesting man. I’m not even kidding.
When everything sucks just remember we still have Gonz and its not so bad.
The master of making it fun just broke down how we should feel a do skateboarding !!!
thx..mark i started skating agian after 10 years break...im 38 and back on the road...ok with a longboard...but hey..skateboarding is gliding..as an old freak in thigt panys said^^
His best interview.
He is such a nice person
An inspiration.
mark is the greatest
How could anyone dislike this?
'It's your weapon to express'.
I've been thinking that for so long.
Gonz :) you define the word awesome
we're on the fun movement with you!!!
i love that van
he makes so much sense
this was posted on my birthday
Skating for fun is definitely why we do it.
favorite skater of all time..!
If you dont like mark gonzales then you should even like skating or be skating period!
so much true words in 3 minutes
On this adidas interview the only thing I got advertised was Nikes…
yeah he did actually. i talked to him about it
that van is sick
sweet
this was pre-dylan, but that beginning part fits dylan
What do you mean by fits dylan?
I WANT TO MARRY MARK!!! SERIOUSLY SOMEONE HELP! he's just so superior in every way. and his eyes!

Krooked needs to make a video called "Skateboard Palace".
That really hurts, especially coming from a total stranger who seems to hate Bam Margera for being famous.
he a genius
Oh shit , ILMAO AT that move he tried at the end .the p funk schuffle!!
@MayoMonroe so true
The Gonz. Nuff said.
@Pellefather LOL that was damn funny that had me laughting out loud literally
@loafybrown I think he means when you Ollie or when your just rolling, how it's easy to us but to hard to understand to those who dont do it
I always skated alone,it was my way out to let my anger, and skating skills be shown,with guys it was distracting. A one man show. 👍🤘
Palace sk8 co was founded after this interview
butt this IS the skateboard palace
Quote from cinematographers project

He is a millionaire. An artist, designs shades and other apparels. Gonzales has a skate company, royal checks coming in. His name is worth a lot.
Yeah he’s probably one of the richest skateboarders just off of art alone but I’m sure all the companies he’s done things for he gets royalties
