Eric Koston - The Chocolate Tour - 1999

[skate4evaable]

sweeeeeeeeeet

[Robertnuns]

This guy is almost as good as I am

[driaslow]

finally landed this and logged it on hotsteeze . com.

[dondiwhite1]

the back noseblunt at hubba hideout as the best trick ever done there - even at least 10 pros say this as well, in the old ON video story about hubba hideout

The nollie heel noseslide at the time was one of the most techs tricks on a rail at that time, if not the most tech. He was the first to do so many things..check out some of the switch flip to nose/crooked in mouse...most people cant do that now..and that was 1996

[potiibiza]

joder este es eric coston???ke canvio

[kickkkrockzzz]

whos says that nollie heel noseslide still isnt incredible?



[SkatingLifeAway]

to bad hubba hide(where Koston did that noseblunt) isn't there anymore

[danielkraak]

Koston is so fucking good.

[Robertnuns]

@erickostonissexy Not sure of the song name but its from Master P maybe its na na na na

[yellowfishmann]

holly fucking shit! this is real fucking BANGINNN for 1999. damn koston is the man!

[Robertnuns]

THAT BACKSIDE NOSEBLUNTSLIDE DOWN HUBBA IS JUST INSANE.

[HuFFTyZzLe]

@Robertnuns for rills, hubba was GIGANTIC. i remember looking at it thinking to myself....could i actually pop high enough to f/s noseslide it? I decided not too cuz you gotta be a grown man with huge nuts to hit that beast. RIP HUBBA.

[mxkid49]

1 dislike. really!. lol

[deathkore7]

classic koston, fuck I remember watching this skate vid when I was like 14 and going out skating on a sick mani-pad after

[stz1000]

Ballin. 

[totaLybeetLeJuice]

man why they got some staight up notsy chants at they end

[spexxers]

koston skates for a company called exiled skateboards

[DougglesMagnificent]

@spexxers wtf are you talking about?

[79jer1979]

Only Koston could pack a part like THAT into a minute and twenty seven seconds. Back noseblunt hubba, fuck!

[blondehairryan]

the nollie heel noser blew fucking minds back then

[paddywon]

nollie heel noseslide at the end, so beautiful

[Robertnuns]

I know his nickname is Frosty, but i prefer to call him The Koston. Anyone this good deserves the word The before their name.

[Korpliw]

Golden age of skateboarding, no tight pants and plaid shirts.....r.i.p. to the nineties

[kmcmanus]

You can still bring it back....it's never truly dead

[brijoseph]

the perfect little part. every trick done with ease and style. theres too much amazing skateboard talent to call koston 'the best'. but theres no question he belongs in the discussion for ONE of the best all time... penny, burnquist, johnson, reynolds, cole, appleyard... they have all contributed an equal amount of skateboard brilliance

[jaesi25]

@brijoseph everyone you named came up AFTER koston was already pro. no they all havent. koston did most of the shit first. check your history. check H-street videos hokus pokus -koston as an am not the new h-street video- koston 1st pro part. and 101 world report from 92. all before the other people you named were even in skating. reynolds got sponsored in 1992.

[itskane79]

Vic3337 I second your comment. Probably the best comment I have read in a minute. Get tired of all the dumb shit people write in the comment sections cause they are so freaking ignorent about what skating really is and came from.

[vic3337]

Simply the best.  No person will ever equal Koston in skating, the timing, and innovation are next to none. The fact that he is still on top of the game today just gives testament to his constant innovation, and shows everyone that skateboarding can still be done at a professional level well into ones thirties.

[tryskateboarding001]

The thing I like about Koston is his skating is always sick as fuck, and he always has something new to put out.

[jesusc2me]

DUDE, sw back180 5-0 at 0:13

[xraycats]

Was his bs noseblunt on the hubba filmed from the same angle the famous photo was shot? If so, where can I find it?

[pabloalvarado]

baggy pants, RIP.

[TrashCanSchool]

screw it..I was skating back then..for some reason..I've been wearing the skinny pants. 'who cares if I split my pants skating?!'..could use some new pants..heh heh.

[JIBarmada]

( . Y . )

[NegativeNick]

I was 12 years old when I saw this. I became a man when I saw him nollie heel nose the 8.

[HeldNak]

lol

[hollywoodjokerpicalo]

he need epic music for his epic parts I've watached like 4 videos of him and the music always sucked. I went to an advance screening of this video and saw it on the big screen it was pretty cool.

[fazelife]

I thought the distribution was podium owned by Tim Gavin

[balthorpayne]

Damn...that Mastah P took me back. Lol. Good vid.

[Pappas170]

song?

[auchipod]

Masta P - Uh

[dontay77]

the brick double set @ 1:04 was the postoffice a mile from the skatepark of tampa in ybor city but it burned down and believe the stairs are gone now........

[ErickTehCute]

The Distribution is called CrailTap

[morefishscale]

that backside flip at the start is huge.

[sponserdsk8ter]

this shit is old skool !!!!! i remember that master p song,,,lol,,,,,,,,make em say ugghhh

[espozito]

Koston is the man. At the time, that nollie heelflip noseslide was incredible.

[BAGAKOOS]

they are still incredible!

[aLuthier]

yeah, but it was a little different... more special

people were not doing tech like that on rails (excption guy m)

i remember seeing that when it came out on vhs and rewinding that clip 20+ times in disbelief.

[BAGAKOOS]

yeah i agree it was better backthen because it was new but still blows my mind everytime

[mexico4evah]

@espozito nobody had done it before him at this time not even on like a ledge?

[espozito]

@mexico4evah that trick had been done before plenty of times but to do it on a legit handrail back in 1999 was pretty groundbreaking. on top of that he made it look really damn good.

[mexico4evah]

@espozito same thing with the backside noseblunt?

[espozito]

@mexico4evah it's safe to say so

[jonisafreak3]

@espozito Shoulda been the hubba noseblunt.

[grpyt64529]

good thing he's been skating for 21 years.

[rakehead12]

girl lakai 4 star royal chocalate are all the same company

[jokejokejokejokejoke]

lakai is a shoe sponsor.

girl is a deck sponsor.

royal is a truck sponsor.

4 star is a clothing company.

[bushbaby111]

Monopolistic bastards!

[MachoLibRey]

[alanalmazan]

[linkinpark331]

[OnTheProgram]

Girl and Chocolate are part of the same company...

You've never seen one of their videos before? The riders always have parts in each other's vids.

[linkinpark331]
