dang dude. how'd you bust your knee? how's your recovery going? I'm skating after shattering my collarbone this January snowboarding. Doing OK but nervous to try dropping in or doing anything on coping. I feel for you man and i hope you're doing better than you were 5 months ago. You make me want to invest in knee pads
@@dneck I busted it being too chill going down a hill on the way to the skatepark, headphones on, can of monster in my hand, hit a crack, smashed it on the kerb. I am actually doing worse than 5 months ago because i've found out I cant really skate again because the cartelige in my knee is mostly gone now, so it creaks and cracks and pops and hurts and I cant do any impact sports without quite major pain... But I can still surf, I can still rock climb, I've got to think of the things I can do. Its been rough though not gonna lie. Yes get some kneepads brother.
I noticed almost every spot from the video because of Extra Crispy NYC! The Brooklyn bowl in that skate shop is super awesome, I always see Keith Hardy and Jiro platt skating these spots so heck yeah!🤙🏼
I don't think a short skate video can really be better than this, it's heavy; perfectly curated, shot, edited, spoken and short but complete. It's chill they got that Strobeck soundbyte in there at the end. He's almost as much of a legend as Gonz is to me and probably knows him better than most.
Im so thankful to see this outstanding video with the flowing artwork n matching music!!!! smooth street skatingand the gonz!! this needs to be played in skate shops on repeat!!! lol
Mark Gonzales... I was very lucky to meet him back in 87 in a town Waipahu on Oahu Hawaii. He did a skate demo for a surf and skate shop Blue Hawaii. That by far is one of my favorite memories!! I was 12 at that time and was more excited to meet, talk and even get his autograph than Christmas morning 🤣.. I hope that I have the honor to meet him again! Gonz was the reason why I started skateboarding and still doing it today at 46. Thank you for that memory!
I could listen to Gonz talk forever, everytime I see him skate or talk it always hits me hard. I'm not sure I understood what skateboarding was or what it meant to me until I watched Gonz.
Between NYC skate footage in the winter,Mark Gonz,and all those NYC skaters my heart is warm. What he said sounded so wise to me! Fucking skate yoda 🙏❤️🤘
one, who thumbs down this video??? two, the Gonz is responsible for so much of what skateboarding was, and what will be. i love how he gets starstuck riding with tony... he is skateboarding brightest star. a lifetime of stoke provided by MG
Props to Torsten Frank, showing everyone how to make a skateboard video, hell short films in general...everything about this piece is imbued with the spirit of skateboard style creativity...and it has Jesus and Mary Chain on the soundtrack, I mean, like...yeah!
I'm 35 now.. Love skateboarding.. But the family commitments is my biggest barrier to keep me skating work , kids&wife ah... What a world .. In memories of best moment 2003.. Peace out
awesome video. never seen gonz and jamal smith in the same video. we need more! anyone else see gonz wearing the adidas Yeezy 700 V3 Azael at 7:11? so sick
BasedKev dude I did! Had to rewind it. The Gonz is so inspiring I wish I saw the world the way he did, he’s on another level. I’m trailing off but YES I saw him in those crazy YZYs and I thought that was cool as shit. Anyone else skating them I’d probably say lame but it’s the GONZ! And shit they have lace protection lol. I found that unexpected and cool too. Didn’t like the shoes till he wore them haha
I never really cared about shoes until I saw those Gonz Alohas. If anyone ever finds a pair in size 12 let me know. Art. Thanks for the inspiration. You're my favorite.
Good stuff Gonz, my philosophy is once a skater always a sk8er, whether one is active or idle, couldn't agree anymore, this is coming from a guy on the other side of 45
No one's gonna comment on the huge rocknroll on the fence. This man is close to 60, I bet hawk wouldn't have tried that. Super impressed with Marks staying power!!
this made me feel like i was reading a thrasher article. good job as always
Yessss
Skaters appreciate Gonz like he died while he's still alive
Legendary!
Legend. One of the first to master Ollie on street along with Natus, & first to do any handrail although caveman invented that too😁
Dude. Idk why but that was so deep and the coolest compliment I’ve ever heard about someone.
Enigma
A treasure
“I like the politics of slow bearings vs fast bearing I’m gonna pick the fast bearings” lmao
this reminds me how much i love skateboarding ... best thing in the world
paige julianne try eating pho
Dinosaur Man it’s a close second
@@dinosaurman4512 I hear it's also great for hangovers
@@Fart_Simpson and healthy
That 360 firecracker down the stairs is something I have never seen before! Amazing skating!
JP Brasca Callum Paul (pro for Passport) does it in an older Aussie vid. Doesn’t make Jamal Smith’s one less sick tho 🙌
Jamal is crazy. This dude has such a unique style.
@@henkforlife Looked him up and wow Callum Paul is insane, thanks for the info!
@@JPBrasca He's so fricken Sick ey!! Mad original Style of Skating, always One of my fave Aussie Styles.
As a 34 year old dude who just started again after 10 years, was loving it, and then broke my kneecap, its good to see this. Maybe I won't quit again.
hope you've recovered and skating again!
@@riverwater3909 Still a little way off, but getting there! Dont break your patella!

@@tabaeaston6113 ouch. sorry to hear this man. sounds like i need some dang ol knee pads
Mark Gonzales: Skateboarder, Artist, Philosopher.. Legend
Jamal Smith and the gonz in one vid! Cmon!!
They have such a similar vibe it seems, that's why they're both untouchable.
When the Gonz is in the house, Art is never far.. Love this kind of footage..
I noticed almost every spot from the video because of Extra Crispy NYC! The Brooklyn bowl in that skate shop is super awesome, I always see Keith Hardy and Jiro platt skating these spots so heck yeah!🤙🏼
6:52 That was sick
Wtf is going on i watched it like 5 times
@@the.littlest.toaster its just backwards but the slide is so long wtf
@@Dyto69yeah the slide is what I'm tripping on must be really windy or some editing.
@@the.littlest.toaster might be in reverse idk
what even was going on lmao

Legend! Favorite skate vid of all time had gonz in it. Super champion funzone!
Im so thankful to see this outstanding video with the flowing artwork n matching music!!!! smooth street skatingand the gonz!! this needs to be played in skate shops on repeat!!! lol
So inspiring!! He makes me see that's possible to skate in a long term and blend in with the new.
This is the best skate film I’ve ever seen 🤯
The Gonz once asked me"What's my middle name?" I said I don't know. He said "My word. Mark My word" He was right of course.
Thrasher inspires me to keep skating and reminds me why I love it. It doesn’t matter if you fall or if you don’t land the trick, just keep trying

Take a moment to appreciate how fast is Suciu's Varial Heel at 3:02
Love these videos man the always have the funniest, goofiest and best personalities of skating. Truly an amazing video.
I love watching the abnormal communication vids. Mark's positivity gets me hyped for whatever im doing. And the skating is so cool and creative
Such a good series, hyped as when I saw the notification for this pop up !
Abnormal Communication is one of the freshest videos I have ever seen in the last 15 years
Hell yes I love the gonz, favorite skater right there
best video I have seen in a minute!
Love this series ,keep them coming
Totally inspiring series the essence of skating and great music selections
I could listen to Gonz talk forever, everytime I see him skate or talk it always hits me hard. I'm not sure I understood what skateboarding was or what it meant to me until I watched Gonz.
one of my new favorite videos 🤎🤍🤎
Ageless Mark. That's why we love you Gonz. Been a fan since the 80's.
PS - I'm rockin' it with my 6yr old nowadays, time is weird.

Love skateboarding ❤️❤️❤️❤️
From MHD to NYC. Love this series so far
wow this is maybe my new fav thrasher vid
Finally good music in a skate clip❤️
This video got me hyped AF. Loved everything about this... Also wasn't expecting to hear "Just like honey" here.
Watching him rock that LES metal wall will NEVER GET OLD
A song by The Jesus and Mary Chain? Yes, please. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this. I hope there are more episodes in the future.
this is even better than the first one
these are so good
We need an episode 3 ASAP !!
Props to Torsten Frank, showing everyone how to make a skateboard video, hell short films in general...everything about this piece is imbued with the spirit of skateboard style creativity...and it has Jesus and Mary Chain on the soundtrack, I mean, like...yeah!
This is a work of art. Well done Torsten and Adidas.
Marc is the best. So cool to see his progression
Gonz is so good at portraying the true nature of skateboarding
This is it. This is skateboarding
Love these Gonz vidz
daaaaaamn...so much love for skate. I feel ashamed that my board is at a stop right now. I'll honor it right now
thumbs up for everytime this samples been used
I'm 35 now..
Love skateboarding..
But the family commitments is my biggest barrier to keep me skating work , kids&wife ah...
What a world ..
In memories of best moment 2003..
Peace out
The Gonz is one of the reasons i started skateboarding again at 30!
Best of gonz so far
I like this series,keep em up
If someone is genuinely curious, like says "what's the big deal with skateboarding, what's the appeal?" this is the best thing to show them.
whomever is picking the tunes on this series (MG ?) absolutely kills it the music is all over the map
Gonz forever!
awesome video. never seen gonz and jamal smith in the same video. we need more! anyone else see gonz wearing the adidas Yeezy 700 V3 Azael at 7:11? so sick

Man, I would gladly pay a lot of money to have this image 6:31 as the huge poster for my room. You two guys are so freakin immortal.
I never really cared about shoes until I saw those Gonz Alohas. If anyone ever finds a pair in size 12 let me know. Art. Thanks for the inspiration. You're my favorite.
Love you mark
this was so beautiful to watch
Gonz is a treasure to humanity
I’m so happy this was made
Damn it touched my heart♥️. Skate for ever♥️🤟🏽. We leave and we die being a skater
My biggest dream is to see Mark on my own eyes, maybe get a signature, but only to enjoy his presence would be enough. What a legend
Good stuff Gonz, my philosophy is once a skater always a sk8er, whether one is active or idle, couldn't agree anymore, this is coming from a guy on the other side of 45
I could listen to Mark talk about skateboarding for the rest of my life
Man I love watching Jamal Smith skate
Nice vídeo, Love skateboard
lol I was literally rewatching episode one today wondering when episode two was gonna drop
love the editing on this. reminiscent of modus and others
i always loved gonz even as an artist
Much love to Gonz
this video was so insanely fire and Zach fucking shreds wtf he's gonna be huge
I’m from NY so I can say it. NY is F-in gritty! Gonz is redik!
No one's gonna comment on the huge rocknroll on the fence. This man is close to 60, I bet hawk wouldn't have tried that. Super impressed with Marks staying power!!
Yeah, that is unbelievable
360 firecracker - fck yeah!!!
Love this
Jamal Smith clips make me so happy
Yes!
artistic And super interesting skate video.

I wish i could just push around Ny with Mark looks like such a dope time!
Gonz is my spirit animal.
Gonz Forever
very excited for more of this series. all this footage is awesome. please keep going. how do i donate?
This Video is true art
Damn this was a masterpiece.
Almost a cliché to say at this point, but he truly is the best skateboarder to ever exist!
6:52 wait wtf. mark moonwalking and the dude sliding forward... but reversed
daniel _ that spun me the fuck out too!
Smiles for miles right now 💞
More of these thrasher

He has that special something you can't teach in skating.
Love seeing mark ,
Reaaaly good one!!
Sick! Only wish is that Jamals part was longer
I love this
