skate. Mark Gonzales

[TheChillSkateGroup]

This guy is a little crazy i think.

[samg013]

how can anybody with decent knowledge of skateboarding even have it in their mind to hate on Gonz?

[Danealwwe]

I can't wrap my mind around that fact that people actually hate on Gonz. You are all a disgrace to skateboarding and should quit. This man was a pioneer, just like Rodney Mullen was, and he was grinding handrails before you were born! Have some RESPECT! You kids will ruin skateboarding, I just know it. The creativity will be sucked right out of it, and it will be nothing but robots doing 720 nollie bigspin heelflips. All of you can fuck off, REAL skaters want nothing to do with you.

[newbutthunt]

Give it up...you ride a piece of wood with wheels attached to it..that's it.

[RazzyReikoCanFly]

@newbutthunt and the laughs you have with friends and the moments when you land a trick you been trying to get down for ages.

Its not just some wood with wheels. Its wood with wheels that creates some Funny memories and good times.

Try not to be too shallow next time.

[ehilado06]

GONZ is a mad scientist.

[oOKillerLemonOo]

does anyone know the song? i will personaly love you

[gethengain]

God he is so fucking cool.

[hlgninjabuddy]

this is a weird question but what is that place that mark is in i dont know what it is but isnt it like a rehabilitation center or something?

[mikenjunite]

looks like gustavo dudamel

[justmissj]

how can you watch this guy and not get a smile on your face :)

[breakingbeatz]

Of all the EA skate. series, this one is the most powerfull one, you can really feel the emotion. The other are of course great too, keep up the great work!

[ihatehaters9]

wow that smile in the end ... so powerful

[aegarnleet]

When im having a bad day, i just grab my skateboard and the moment i step on it, I get a smile on my face, it's just a amazing feeling!

[tuzinikureseju]

@aegarnleet same here

[zooplanktongus]

[retr0banana]

[KradiaKid]

@retr0banana I think it's a crailtap

[retr0banana]

does anybodae kno what board hes riding

[MrMilchmannTV]

The Gonz is a LEGEND!!!!

[skaterade1212]

@inmyredsky hi my name is mark gonzalez, i think that, you know, what are you gonna do, like i mean when your not skateboarding, if you have an idea like if you see like, you know, you like to get the attention doing the skateboarding and pull off a manouver and you get recognition for that but um, i dunno, its kinda nice to think about art and skateboarding as a way of conquering boredom, kind of like the blues you know. people being bummed out or not having anything to do, so what do the(etc

[KitschSkater]

I'm sad he wasn't in Skate 2 and 3. I hope he is in 4 :P

[fallensk8rz]

Mark Gonzales is the fucking best!!!! I love his thinking and output on life

[Troxxity]

only mark gonzales can skate in wet fuzzy slippers.

[enjoikenny39]

DAMN, check out his huge Hippy Jump at 0:48

[tyhlor1]

jeje

[some1bomber]

i think you can tell a skater by the music they listen to

[fuctinthebutt]

@some1bomber That's not always true. you could judge a skater who listens to rap to be a "Gangster skater", if I may. But P-rod listen's to Rap and skates to rap but he's a down to earth nice guy doesn't seem like the person to like rap. Just sayin. Not tryin to dis. :)

[some1bomber]

@fuctinthebutt i ment like the way they skate if prod listens to rap hes not like a hardcore skater like some oldschool pool skaters if you get me its really rare that you find that in my opinon

[fuctinthebutt]

@some1bomber O ok. It makes more sense now when you put it that way.

[NOLALongboards]

@some1bomber live life with an open mind homie, you can't judge people based on what music they like

[some1bomber]

@NOLALongboards not judge i mean that most of the time you look at gangster style skaters and there normaly listen to hip hop and rap

[Girlsk8bords]

The Reference to the Blues is so true....Rock music only exists today because people in England listened to the blues because the music had atitude and emotion and thats sort of like skateboarding, Its such an amazing feeling that you get from it that you wont get from playing any sport.

[B0rnToRoll]

Everytime Id play Skate and play Gonzales Id try skate like him, wallrides FTW

[SuperSpareChange]

i bet he was the clumbsy jewish kid when he was young

[RandomDude1999]

mark is the man.! he can sk8 in anything.

[elvispiss]

hes an artist

[Wuhwahwoh]

GUYSGUYSGUYS

please answer my question..

Is Mark Gonzales, the legend, like mentally ill?

cuzz in the video he wearing that weird stuff.

[Tourretesisfunny]

@Wuhwahwoh Anyone can wear what they want so shut the fuck up hes not mental hes just awesome

[CAV622]

@Wuhwahwoh he's awesome and he doesn't give a fuck 

[Longi452]

@Wuhwahwoh he just doesn't give half a shit about what people think of him. He has complete control over his mind, but he likes to be unique i guess you can say.

[mexipenguin]

@Wuhwahwoh

that dont mean shit he probably just woke up and thought "hey i wanna skate"

[666olivierhell]

i just cant believe he landed on it with his sandals still on

[Girlsk8bords]

He looks like a crazy proffesor

[ZackoXannex]

@Girlsk8bords he is a crazy proffesor.

[critikdude]

skating with slippers!!! awesome!!

[jayohayechn]

i want this song. BAD

[jayohayechn]

pure inspiration. Now if i can only GET THIS SONG

[teddyh]

thank you for everything gonz...love you man..

[ndnkid6]

gonz is arguably the best skate boarder besides p-rod

[JonoriusGM]

@ndnkid6 ABSOLUTE opposites of skaters right there. There's no point comparing them to see who's "best". They've done completely different things. Progression and Perfection are two ends of skateboarding and who's to say whats more important or who's better.

[rayskate]

 its life in general, Life is art.. skateboarding is just a fact,

[pcb1000]

...for your health.

[steezysk8ter123]

whats the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DawnPeez]

Gonz. Por vida....

[afpo10117]

from 0:57 to 1:02 i see myself teaching my kids how to skate man

[dbspaceoditty]

Slipper Skate +1

[1tomtom22]

this guy's a wierdo but he can pull it off

[meinLiebsterFeind]

@1tomtom22

what's weird? ps. wierdo is not a word.

[afpo10117]

@meinLiebsterFeind kind of similar for "freak", i think hahahah

[ctothahris]

GOD WONT READ THE LETTER.

[SurealVids]

kind of like the blues... lmao, mark is awesome :D

[smartbro678]

EA stands for.........

[zeppelinman69]

@smartbro678 Electronic Arts

[pens2beast4u]

[Reiko0901]

Goddamn I love him.

[bryanFskates69]

[qone1200]

@bryanFskates69 totally. same too. he's just that cool

[pleadthefiffth]

@bryanFskates69 marks a friend of mind,if you kill this guy who owes me money i'll introduce you

[OscarSICK100]

[Hotsmoke76]

@OscarSICK100 krooked 

[bryanFskates69]

@OscarSICK100 krooked

[doublepa14]

best crazy person ever

[MrDavidSawatski]

this guy's rad. greatest skateboarder of all time.

[IMSITTINGONACHAIR]

the gonz is a living legend

[FirstTryProductions1]

people who skate for fame and money is ryan sheckler. after watching his show a few times i lost a bunch of respect from him. all he does is bitch about why he didnt get that spot he wanted on the podium. i skate to enjoy myself, i like to have fun. but i do have to agree, sheckler is absolutely ridiculous

[THEMEGAMEXICANSKATER]

Skating is alot more than it seems.

[superdr88]

Idol !!!

[Nipeel]

what does he says in the last sentence??

[KiddKrazey]

@Nipeel "There's not that much that you can do in life, except do art and skate"

[IPWNxYOURxKILLZ]

skating isnt about who can land what trick its about having fun. if all you do is cruise or do trciks then thats good as long as your happy with your board and how your progressing with it thats all that matters.

[PerFecTsTeeZe]

He's such a nice and down to earth dude. What a fucking legend.

[togipoo]

how come hes always so depressed

[jackassfan1234567890]

look st his face 0:57 - 1:12

[playaplaya247]

@jackassfan1234567890 there is no 1:12 lol.. Gonz is an orignal. although he did look like he escaped a mental institution in this vid.

And EA Skate 3. coming out May 11th

[swiftfighter94]

true legend

[HardflipXx]

Hes one weird dude.

[boogiebuddy01]

it makes me wish i had started skateboarding when i was younger

[Padata3000]

@boogiebuddy01 if youve got two feet and at least one more day to live...whats stopping you now?

[aakkoin]

"kind of like the blues..." i love gonz.

[Francisrinehart]

[FatPigCypris]

HE CAN OLLIE WALLENBURG AND YOU CAN'T

[jokkenizer]

he is a weird guy, but he seems really calm and nice though :)

[runwithpandas77]

the gonz is such an inspiration, and kids listen to him talk, this is the real shit, this is what skating is about

[Rasmusolofsson]

I just love his way of living and his way of thinking, and look at his smile at 0:57 :D

[LkNormanSk8r]

hes not smiling there dumb ass

[TENOCH2012]

i agree a free thinker! he was ahead of his time and still is original! i had his first deck back in the 80's and hes still god to me!

[TerrorPads]

[THEREALCORNPUFF]

this guy fkn raddd =]

[gbsk8rmom]

THE GONZ total insight!!!!!!

[DANbokILLs]

Bite your tongue bitch! You obviously have no idea what your talking about..

[sk8boarddude11]

You better shut the fuck up ok. he has the words of a genius the reason he is talking like that is because he has to find the right words and you wouldnt skate anywhere near good as he is. He might seem weird and doesnt know what he talks about but he does you just dont know a good skater you just judge them by the first immperession so shut the fuck up you little bitch.

[EPICBEAST19]

Damn ripped his shit

[Jarvis21526]

damn right.

[antiflagryan]

I Think Some People Here Might Be Missing The Point Of Skating

Just Have Fun, Thats all there is too it

so stop arguing and have a good laugh

[2ftsk8r]

i know really. people think im weird at my local skate park cause i go there with some freinds screw around laugh like hell and skate. lol when its windy i spread my arms like a bird or soemthin and let my hair fly. its so fun try it

[supermanvalle]

@antiflagryan

Fuck FUN! Im fucking skate HARD!!!! OKEY!!!!! I fucking train hard, to reach the top!!! If it would be only fun... maybe I wouldnt ever won so many competitions, MONEY, BOARDS, SPONSERS!!!!

So shut up!

[antiflagryan]

@supermanvalle you can still skate hard and have fun, you can "reach the top" while having fun, im just saying its what brings skaters together, the enjoyment of skating, if you want to skate and have no fun then im not or anyone else are gonna stop you so just chill out and enjoy something

[supermanvalle]

@antiflagryan

And I do have fun :)

Even if sometimes, I turn fun into 3 hours of hardwork...

But after that hardwork, of getting the trick... :)

I feel good, and chill out with ma friends... And then we all skate again XD

[antiflagryan]

@supermanvalle sorted then :P haha just enjoy it (Y)

[aa20fl]

@supermanvalle you just skateboard because you want fame and money? tht is not what skateboarding is about. only faggots do tht shit

[supermanvalle]

@aa20fl

So??

At least I can do allot of tricks... so why should I be angry for winning competitions and get sponsered...

Im just happy with that!

[MFSK8Enertainment]

@antiflagryan Exactly, people fight about whos better, or all this stuff, skating is meant to have fun, if you dont have fun doing it, why do it?

[antiflagryan]

@MFSK8Enertainment thats exactly it, i skate cus i have a laugh with friends and it takes my mind of anything thats bothering me and thats it, i just do it because its what i enjoy doing and i dont get why so many people just can not grasp that

[MFSK8Enertainment]

@antiflagryan yeah, just to do something, have a skill, ppeople brag about it, and freak out about posers and stuff, its like. man i skate to skate, if u skate to show off and be a poser, then thats just it . its like a popoularity contest, i wish everyone wuld jus skate.

[antiflagryan]

@MFSK8Enertainment yeahh they cant get their head around they were once as bad as the people they are mouthing off about and i have never understood why so many skaters are so arrogant
