Mark Gonzales -Blind Video Days-

[BrassilSTP]

gonz is the man.

[headspot29]

Sick video part, but if I didn't know it from before I never would have been able to tell this is Mark Gonzalez. The image quality sucks on this.

[TheRombo4]

@headspot29 you wouldve, his style is so unique you know as soon as you see himm that its mark

[italllies]

Living legend !!!!

[fuckthewmg1]

...

[000BatFuck000]

I hate youtube so fucking much.

[beercity]

he audio has ben disabled. More about copyrightThis video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled. M

[deoogella]

fuck the WMG

[theresnoaudio]

we were told that once GO()GLE took over youtube it "wouldn't be any different".

i see that it is WAY different.

no audio........................

[hatchlingzinmybrain]

FUCK!!!!! those youtube rat-bastards took away the audio!!

[rynbsq]

hes fucken beast

[Blawrence9000]

Video Days blew me away when it first came out. Gonz' section was the best. Fluid streetskating, long edits and wierd-ass tricks (nollie wall ride at 0:57, like,,, I haven't seen anyone do that since!!)

Then there's the tunes.. great compared to th competition... i.e. H-street and standard fare US punk.

Gonz & Natas populised Real street skating... But isn't Gonz a bit of an Alkie now tho? A sad waste of a legacy if you as me.

[stianchrister]

nah he's still rockin it

[drooog1978]

hell yeah totally.... Gonz says he was skating switch back in the early 80's not thinking anything of it!! he was just natural both ways!!!

watch his switch tre's.. there butter....

[sibco96]

I think it's wild how Mark Gonzales could do so many tricks regular foot or goofy foot, like he was totally ambidextrous in a skating sense.

[jsinnn75]

There was always an arguement of who was the 1st person to ollie to a handrail. Gonz or Natas?

[pacolacums]

NATAS

FOR SURE

[almostsk8errrr4lyfe]

natas

[BlackerThanBlack666]

natas did the first ever attempt but gonz landed the first handrail

[TrafficSkater]

but wasnt gonz the first dude to ever do wallenburg?

[BlackerThanBlack666]

Yes he did :)

[BlackerThanBlack666]

yeah he was

[drboose]

wtf are you talking about

[jsinnn75]

I got the original Video Days still in the box and the only reason I have a vcr in my bedroom. This and Gleaming the cube.

[vivabarista]

This is the shizzz!!! I have not seen this in years! Gonz Rules!

[thinkvisual]

avant garde

[popotheklown]

the ollie-onto-bench-to-boardslide­-insanely-kinked-rail-shove-ou­t is a trick i always overlook then have to rewind over and over

[hiramabiff100]

We totally took Gonz for granted back in those days. He was so far ahead of his time, we sometimes dismissed what he was doing as him just goofing off. All skate parts look like this one now. Everything about this video like the filming is so ahead of it's time. Never has been, never will be another Gonz. Pure flow. True Skating.

[knute90]

gonz is a fun skater to watch

[wisesatyr72]

Yeah Rodney Mullen is great..Hes awesome. I like rodney.. But Mark Gonzales represents my youth..

[jasonhanoi84]

fuck u motherfucker ill murder ur bitch ass

[StimkPOOmp1]

man i mean the music tight take out the bass and cymbal and what you have is honest tunes word is born

[SmOOthiEvideos]

2:23 is raw I MEAN RAW

[londonsburning12]

Its amazing how he opened the floodgates for every skater. Meanwhile gap at 1:03 and then he ollies wallenberg. hes sick

[boywonda69]

lol..i saw clips of this video in the movie kids, good shit

[mixwell1983]

Mark Gonz is my cuz.. Grandpa's sister's grandson.. believe that shit.. Only Time I've seen him as was at his grandfathers funeral RIP..

[wisesatyr72]

This guy is latino right?

[sam0n0toby]

mark hated vision (a company he skated for) so much that he started up blind that is sooooooooo coool and sooooooooo GONZAAAAAAA!

[wisesatyr72]

mark gonzales is the best street skater of all time..in my opinion

[Scanlan5]

mark gonzales is tight but the quality of this video sucks .( i mean like the graphics). also he kinda just does easy same stuff over and over and also the music kinda ruins it . he doesnt do much hard stuff . and he is definitley not the best street skater ever no offense. look up rodney mullen if you want to see the best street skater ever.

[wisesatyr72]

Hey man, I know where you're coming from. Rodney Mullen kic up street skating a notch w/the varial flips and all that. Mullen is a freestyle skater on a tiny little board.

Mark Gonzales is a legend, hes mysterious and

he lives on streets or looks like it

The guy just represents street skating for the old school..

[Scanlan5]

ya dude. rodney invented the kickflip heelflip and the flatground ollie among others. i mean he totally influenced skatiing . the ollie is the first trick someone learns when they skate and he invented it. he frickin insanely good

[Scanlan5]

how does being mysterious and livin on the streets make him a great skater

[Simmons009]

Youve succesfully turned be a retard into an artform Scanlan5. If you can get TonyHawk 8 out between your asscrack and your dieper then you can pay respect to the coolest skater ever to grace the planet. You probably weren't even born when this came out.

[EvilxPiggy]

you're an idiot

[Scanlan5]

how am i an idiot hes definitely not the best street skater ever

[Dusevic]

scanlan5 ur a fucking tool. He fucking revolutionized skating and street skating. Him, rodney, mike v, and few other made what skate boarding is today

[dreadheadninja]

exactly that is y i hate annoying lil kids that come watch these videos and say, "o this guy sucks, ryan sheckler is better!" they don't realize that he and a few others we YEARS in head of every one else that skated at his time. the gonz is and always will be a legend.

[thelonghairedchild]

those kids wouldnt be doing 95% of tricksif it wasnt for these guys.

[aperturescientist666]

oh god, i hope people realize i was just fucking around, ryan who? gonz changed street skating. you pretty much have pre vid days and post vid days i mean he did wallenberg first, he did darkslides crazy shit and plus he is so fucking fluid yes mullen invented the tricks, but gonz/lee took them in new dirrections and found modern skateboarding. thats not to diminish what mullen or anyone else did, its just that w/o the gonz skating would not be what it is today, kids just dont' get it.

[aperturescientist666]

fucking right ryan scheckler is soooo much better than these guys, how are these guys even sponsored?

[skateboardgod]

your a freaking dumbass...its mark G hes older and old school. and ryan sheckler is a faggot...all he does is cry and complain about how his life sucks.

[aperturescientist666]

can you not detect the hint of sarcasm? i know that it is hard to detect in print, o.k.? i get that, but this was a response to something that omsi2k4 said, i fucking hate the shick o.k.? the fucking gonz is the guy, o.k. not mullen *even tho i think he's great too, its cool that he invented a bunch o shit and still innovates when it comes to flat ground skating, but the gonz is they fucking MAN o.k.? mark gonzales is my favorite of all time, too bad sarcasm doesn't print better....

[XtremeSports1996]

you forgot about finding "a chill girl"

[kukenimunnen]

I believe retardation is a "hood-thang". Nice vid anyways.

[jasonhanoi84]

tight shit nigga what chu know bout that shit

[ngc22072001]

Ok people mullen is the creator of flatground, because of freestlye. Dont get me wrong the guy is a flatground GOD.. The creator.. But But street skating is totally all around.. and sorry to say but mullen still has a long way to go in the street kingdom.. If the years let him he will be street god, but today there is more talent like the switch skaters and the marianos and modern skaters..Peace

[sam0n0toby]

you have obviously not seen him land an on the bolts switch 360flip darkslide or a swict flip to one foot nosemanual. respect

[hazetoS]

so he does the same kinda stuff

nt enough varieation

[polaroidruletheworld]

dude shut the fuck up

comin up here and analyzing this shit

fuckin square

[Benn1ce]

My favorite part ever. I pretty muched watched it an went to skate countless times. Still today nobody does 180 over the curb to fakie grind except on mini ramp. The one he does in the garage is so insane. I literally haven't seen that trick since.

[golaitz]

Long live the Gonz!

[aodroog]

Best video part ever!!!!!!!!!!!

The Gonz has the best style in skateboarding.

[ledzeppelin1453]

danny way at 0:54

[TheAdrenalineJunky]

kickass skate video, but the band who covered The Cure kind of destroyed the song. Long live the Gonz!

[farguswoptao]

wow he dresses like a modern day skater

[dboytesoro]

this was so way back then

[DutchDogBiscuits]

for being a big skater in the 90's gonz probably has the least sloppy style in this whole video

[superskater21]

0:52 the gonz with danny way

[friedpotatochives]

Caveman darkslide at 3:29,

I wonder if Marc's was a homage to this in Fully flared?

[lightlord99]

The gonz like invented style on a skateboard haha.

[ssfingerskate]

2:26 wallenberg

[chinogilmour]

its all about old school now is gnarly but back in the days it was more about having fun and now is more like everybody trying to be the best man i rudy johnson i forgot about him i remember when i started skating i use to have i think a dc shoes of his signature

[STUMPTOWNVIDEO]

"we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams" damn straight

[Cerebus416]

A true pioneer. Gonz fkn rocks.

[londonsburning12]

1:04 Gonz gap

[delwi1]

every skate video i watch on here has arguments about who the best skater is

y cant people just watch it and have respect for skateboarding instead of bombong on everyone who think he/she sux at skating

nobody on here really sucks

they all just have different styles

[ojstar]

be quiet

[lowend]

GONZ IS LEGEND!!!!

[gaftromm2]

he acted like the board was 20 pounds

[soljaboy4553]

i'll play him skate and beat him i cud nollie1440 flip to primo to double lazer flip out to casper to 360 hardflip out to christ air 1080

now beat me

[youngcarterjames]

whut the fuck r u talking about

[aphexmandelbrot]

1. The tricks you can do on Tony Hawk =/= real life.

2. I'm pretty sure Mark could spell better than you - so at least if you beat him, he's still the literate one.

[timeforaproject]

watching anyone else skate is boring now... i need more videos of this guy.

[lex1126]

yo this gut the shit!!!

wa age is he now???

[darkslayerkid156]

the funny thing is hes like 42 now and still pulled off a sick part in krooked kronichles

[lozerington]

wats the song anyone know? i want it playin in my lounge

[775k]

its dinosaur jr.

[monkeysnail]

he meant the first one i think. it sounds like john coletrane to me, i don't know the name of it, sorry.

[KoneZeroOne]

John Coltrane - Traneing in

[KoneZeroOne]

John Coltrane - Traneing in

[Dorsa123]

the gonz is one of the greatest people out there. he's a genious. he figured out skateboarding if you know what i mean. anyone who disagrees really just doesn't understand skateboarding.

[775k]

thats right .. i can see that you know whats up.. the Gonz is a fricken legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[RibEye4]

Street style skateboarding = Gonz skating the Embarcadero in SF.

[g09h3r]

of course dude the embarcadero is legend!!! i go there every week

[lozerington]

this is THE

[superblunted]

what's the song? My computer has no sound.

[000guidolin000]

Coltrane - traneing in

[Slickskates]

velvet camel i guess doesn't realize that mark gonzalez basically pioneered skating handrails and some skate brands

[rebetoida]

a view people has to live for ever...mark gonzales is one of them....man...this dude skates for three.....surfing the city....man

[slappzz]

Awesome vid. One of the best.

Gonz was sick back then

[gnartardsk83r]

velvetcamel, first off, fuk off. "he skates like a jewish person would" wtf is that? not only does it not make sense, it makes you sound like a nazi. secondly, ryan sheckler and "keeping it real" shouldn't even be in the same sentence. sheckler "keeps it real" by skating rails? the gonz was the fuking first to skate rails, you dumbass. and " h-e double hockey sticks"? what are you, six? christ.

[Hatedbygod666]

Natas Kaupas was the first person to ever skate rails but The Gonz was with him

[ridintheconcretewave]

no it was the gonz

[darkslayerkid156]

and the gonz was one of the firsts treet skaters to get the cover of a skate mag he turned something that was considered just a fad into the most popular form of skating

[whatsagoodname00]

omg his style is cool

[lolimreallybored]

mark gonzales rocks!!!!!

[partyjon1]

Gons, the real skate kegend, the most genuine skater, he´s the real skater way of life. bring back the skate to the streets.

[dudewheresmymount66]

this guy is a fucking legend

[classicskaterMatt]

i dnt see any footAGE on UR profile. fukin haters

[velvetcamel]

hes not that good at sk8ing and he sort of skates like a jewish person would. i personally like ryan sheckler or quim cordana cause they keep it real and skate handrails. sk8 or die! zero, baker, worldindustries, kr3w, supra

best brands out there!!!!!!!!!!!

[jimmybasil]

this guy pretty much started street skating...you've got no idea how good he is and how important he is to skating...you're a toy

[realskates123]

velvetcamel does not know what the hell he is talking about and should shut the fuck up

[velvetcamel]

you do not know what the he double hockey sticks are talking about and should stop sk8ing and bmxing because your a disgrace to the extreme sports community.

[max10690]

you suck

[turb00]

HAHAHAHA!! sk8ting? bmxing? EXTREME? DUDE YOUR A FUCKING KOOK, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.

[Dorsa123]

i hate you. i love the gonz. he has done more to skateboarding than almost anyone. ryan sheckler makes skateboarding look like a bro thing. you arent a real skateboarder.

[velvetcamel]

dude im all about skateboarding. when i buy my new supras i cut the laces so that it looks preskated i also scratch up my board with a penny so it looks like i can grind n stuff. I am a punk so therfore im a skateboarder.

[Dorsa123]

i know your joking and everything (and it is funny), but i still hate you

[KR3W3]

ur the biggest dumb ass evver. ryan sheckler. soorry skateboarding isnt about crying about the dew tour..

Gonz is amazing!

[SwedenJa]

dude the gonz is a legend. that faggot sheckler would be making money taking cock in the ass if it werent for him, and you snivelling shithead wouldnt even be skating.

[DrewAustinPowers]

velevetcamel, you dont deserve to have anything to do with skating you nazi!

[Griffbabee]

hahahahahaha world industries is a children's brand. Only commercial loonies and mom's buying product for their kids like world industries!!

lmfao you are a gumby :D

[jumpjump11]

The Gonz pretty much invented the where and how of street skating. Not really sure how a Jewish person skates, but if he's it then shalom. Skateboarding isn't, and never will be about TV or the Olympics. If the point of your comment was to get responses, then count me in as a sucker, if not, learn your roots and be a happier skater.

[velvetcamel]

dude your so wrong its all about makeing millions if ur a sk8er and getting a tv show. who cares about the gonz when theres actually good skaters like terry kennedy. kr3w or die

[bizz0b]

I lol'd.

[marty135]

ur missing the bigger picture to skateboarding, it was created purely for recreational purposes from my understanding, o yeah stop buying the 2pac albums.

[Stdain]

Real=handrails? did you see the rail at 2:15 in this part? Its huge! you silly!!!

[ChristianPatterson]

his style is good and he a legend

[konradgerber]

yeah they do

[bertjes1]

they show this movie in KIDS, I think

[elperro1975]

South Gate, Cali being represented once again, Mark is a LEGEND...

[heatfan4444]

the GOnz is a a living Legend!!

[chrise8684]

Rudy is such a legend. A true OG of street skating. The way he does tricks is so far ahead of the time (1991), and he makes them look stylish and effort less. Mariano and him are true OG's.

I know he retired from girl, but I am sure he still skates. It be cool if he made a comeback just like Mariano did.

[fuzzychocolate]

the gonz is the biggest pice of shit i hope he fucking dies he is a cuntface bastard

[wiggidywakwak]

do you realize that you have gotten the maximum number of that thumbs down things, thats incredible so incredible that I think I should free up some space so other people can have a chance

[ernieisag]

not better than rodney mullen

[thatguy542002]

Ok, Mullen is good but hes not the great, only at the flatland stuff... But the Gonz is a legend!

[deniro828]

rodney mullen is good but he has nothing to offer skating like the gonz did how many people wake up and say ima go do this crazy flat land shit for about three hours and be bored

[omski2k4]

you're full of shit for saying that, modern skate is nothing without it's freestyle roots. Those two are equal partners in creating what skating is today.

[deniro828]

i understand that frrestyle skating is good i built the way to street but people cant compare the two skaters when they do different things in terms of street skating the gonz did more than mullen, mullen brought freestyle in but the gonz brought street skating into full effect

[ozamcnoza]

mullen literally invented skateboarding as we know it. He thought up the concept of popping the board, which is the base for just about every street skateboarding trick today. Gonz definitely injected the soul though! (equal partners for sure)

[Hiresdes]

you're stupid, die a slow death, what the fuck does better mean anyway...Skating is like an art as lame as it sounds.

[Stdain]

Do more sports! I got more infield goals!!

[Lateboarder15]

The best video part ever.

[kingofife]

The Blind video had so much soul. Not that there's anything wrong with flips but it's great that it's not too technical.

[jazzmasta314]

It's John Coltrane and the Red Garland Trio with "Traneing in", some great jazz I might say, and some equaly great skating.

[eekwid89]

even mongo looks good on the fucking gonz only he could anyways

[maskedcheese]

what song is this

[fakedesignergoods]

@deektheyfreek

some damn good jazz

[Deektheyfreek]

What is that old time music he's listening to?

[camopants359]

mark is a best he rukes he freaken started blind the have sum of the best sk8ters wonder y he left and went back 2 krooked?

[JJTheMastah]

was he in real before blind? he probably went back to krooked because blind boards suck

j/k :P

[kaiserwilhelm]

He likes the creative freedom krooked gives him. Blind isn't the same any more its not much different than world industries is today.

[ShoeReview]

yeah world industries is shit now

[STUMPTOWNVIDEO]

he owns krooked

[sotexuke]

this dude was awesome he put out one of the first longboards through 60/40

[srxmrniceguy]

if i was a fucken idiot i would say this sucks

[hvamhvam]

This video is art - I rememeber watching it over and over again. I love it!

[krookedsk8r333]

this filming suks

[Skaytahz]

im pretty sure u cant do half tha shit he does >.>

[UserNameWTF]

GONZ IS A NOOB

[MCRod20]

i know you were just kidding right

[SeanRadmer]

THIS is skateboarding.

[bookoflove512]

omg I'm old I think I was 13/14 when this video came out. Man we use to watch this and go skate for hours. Sucks I hyperextended my knee so I hardly skate if any.

[stz1000]

Gonz's part was just mind-blowing (no hyperbole). The music took you off guard, and it still does -- still so fun to watch.

[JBeadlehand]

1:02 is the Meanwhile 2 gap...definitely some Southbank in there 2...UK loves the Gonz

[misterX1995]

GONZ + Coltrane = GOOD

[lowend]

I couldn't agree more!

[gangsta4]

yo 2:23 is wallenburg 4 before anybody was shredin it

[38Weissbier]

the funny thing is that Mark's Video Days Footie looks more up to date right now as it did 16 years ago. It was cool back then but kind of odd, now it looks only cool... (:

[Skateboardingunderdo]

Natas did the first rail. Gonz did the first darkslide rail and danny way was at the tower pool in that shot in paris. Dinosaur jr covering the cure, with a little diddy called just like heaven. Gonz is the man.

[Simmons009]

Gonz is a living ledgend and one of the true inovators of tricks and style as well as making it the artform it is today, classic footage, nuff said!

[38Weissbier]

What is the difference between a Gonz-Ollie and a regular Ollie?

[GabeFinn]

Style. What are you 12 years old?

[HelenKellersArmy]

Random Fun Fact!

That's Danny Way at :53

[StillHereHaterz]

at 53 seconds, the kid pushing his board is danny way

[BigAL0006]

the gonz almost created everthing u see in street skating u should say thanks to the gonz everytime you do a handrail because he was the first ever to do so

to
