[thelizardking27club]

this is the best EA Skate clip!

[retr0banana]

[sk8trdudenoob]

my friend really likes this guy.

[darshia33]

If peopledidnt know him he would seem like some weird hobo but really he's a very brilliant and sweet man, and made skating what it is today In his own strange way

[Edgarcarlos52]

I miss my skate 1 :( skate 2 and 3 dont have the bad ass skater intro!!!

[cawslackstar]

[cobodomknot]

[octanemonkeys]

@cobodomknot tight bro!~

[PayzDayz]

Gonz Rock on!

[SoftSkate]

Never thought about it that way,

[RiceCubeMan]

He is odd, but he wanted to be this way. He's explaining that not everybody in the world skates, but everybody does art in someway, like he said " There is not much to do besides art and skateboarding", and he is a genius.

[deathshore]

You have to understand the gonz. This video is awesome.

[aperturescientist666]

why? why do you say that, i want to know. because i think he is one of the most open minded inventive people to ever walk this earth

[arehumansgood]

@aperturescientist666 did you just make up a comment? its not even aimed at anyone

[nfs204]

anyone no the song playing in the back round

[Rambo1989]

he is speaking his mind and everything he says is right

[akamikeg]

he's speaking more than that mate, he's speaking his heart out

[Rambo1989]

indeed, mind and heart contribute to the epicness of his speech.

[omaro0oz]

shit sorry i was clickin the like button but i put the thumbs down one by accident .. sorry

[timesplitters666]

i tink hes high hahahah

[dvs1572]

His words are remarkably motivational.

[Heatseet12]

[ThereisMikeVandGod]

Gonz is awesome! :D

[yesmrchalkley]

He's my favourite skater,

but I have no idea what he's on about.

[cbradleyy]

this video makes it seem like he sucks at skating haha

[chielrieks]

what about the hippie jump?

[Sk8erkyle]

mark gonzales is a drug addict and he's freaky.

[hellluv]

i know its awesome isnt it

[dboytesoro]

is that really true? i mean i never came to that conclusion cause it just never really hit me, but i actually did very much notice he was a little on the 'odd' side..

[czeckguy]

He is not on drugs i dont think, in the 90s he hit his head and he said nothing was ever the same again

[ducktailz]

rofl

[aperturescientist666]

what exactly is funny about someone sustaining a life changing injury? how bout i come over to your house and give your ass a curb sandwich, bet nothing'll ever be the same again for you and then people can laugh at your pain fucker

[lazyloddy]

whatsheaddictedto?

[Hovmyster]

i love the board gonzales uses in the game, with the red outline

[RyanSk8r99]

do you think that * thing at the end was the original logo idea, or what?

[xxshellsterxx]

he skates krooked right,ive always thought about getting a krooked can anyone please tell me how they skate?

[JJGredig]

Like any other skateboard it has 7 plys a nose and tale and concave also 4 holes for your trucks to be attached with hard ware now that we got that out of the way every board is made by the same supplier then just has the graphic pressed on it according to which company ordered it

[blindskater200]

no your wrong

[devinewisdom]

Crooked skates like, Deathwish. Exept that they paint sticks better.

[DarksiDethril]

and some boards have a bigger tail then the nose

[yesmrchalkley]

he's fricken incredible

[Sk8r4LiiiF3]

[fuckingbonechilling]

He's also the raddest skater ever.

[monkbo]

mark gonzales is the shit

[dabosoxfanatic]

he is a gaywad who skates!!! XD

[sjanoski]

YES !

[MCRFAN201]

he's real good at skating, especially the hippieflip thing, but he seems like a bit of a weirdo lol

[Rambo1989]

he is a weirdo and is amazing

[JJTheMastah]

he deserves to be in this game.

[timmah12345]

he is

[xHoboMcGeex]

No duh, read the title.

[r3dline88]

I met him over here in NZ. Wicked style of skating. Real friendly an had a good convo wif him

[dizaann]

what is the song?

[captaincaylan]

a beautiful persona

[willtheone]

"There is nothing to do in life execpt skateboard an art" haha :D

[BcashSk8]

0:57 best moment of the vid :P

[raphaelrodrigo]

mark gonzales é totalmente style. . . .

vive como quer . ..num liga pros outros!!!!

roots!!!

[rohw0016]

favorite skater of all time

[julesboy777]

The goz is one of the most insane people ive ever seen.

He has a compleatly different way of thinking.

And he was like the second to do handrails.

He's amazing.

-III

[Nominay]

No, he was the first. Natas was the 2nd.

[russki71]

do art and skate! truly wise words for everyone! bow down and recognise the gonz!!!!

[streetwalkcheetah]

don't act like a child man.

[gangsta4]

mark is a fuckin awsome dude and one of my idols but i agree wit megamang dude does look pretty funny. lol

[pilferboy]

guess you missed it... that's the beauty of skateboarding and art... "looks" don't mean shit.

[MEGAMANG]

most skateboarders have some sort of style

and art...wow are u retarded?

[bully129]

oh man. The hypocrisy.

[donteatflaminpoo]

You just referred to Mark Gonzales as "this dude", and as looking "stupid gay". I'm speechless.

[pilferboy]

do you skate? do you know anything about the person you are talking about? it's obvious you don't and it's the whole reason i commented in the first place. if you have any serious interest in skateboard culture and/or contemporary art in general, do yourself a favor and educate yourself on who Mark "the gonz" gonzales is and his place in history before you spout off with comments like "this dude looks stupid gay"

[deniro828]

pilfer you are absolutely right homie gonz in the top 10 ever to be important to skateboarding

[pilferboy]

i'd say at least top 5 and as far as street skating goes... top 2. i'll allow for personal preference to pick between gonz and mullen for the #1 spot.

[slave0ne]

yup. i'll second pilferboy on that.

[deville75]

i third that! His personality is just amazing.

[alexandjacinthe]

i do not know this guy.. maybe an old school skater from what this video view..

[boatynoh]

learn about this guy

[alexandjacinthe]

what do you mind ?

[boatynoh]

I mean he is a cornerstone in the history of skating and if you are into skating, you should really check out his videos. Him and Natas were the first to bring flips to street and the first to get handrails in vid spots. (I think) Look at the video links on the right. That will be a start.

[alexandjacinthe]

i'm inform about evrything about skateboarding execpt this. i will take a look of this guy thanx

[Nominay]

basically the guy started an entire genre - street skating .. he was the first to take it seriously and get it going

[boatynoh]

No sweat. Check out blind "video days." and anything natas did. Natas' part in "Streets on Fire" changed everything.  Amazing part.

[agrocrag123]

genius

[Nominay]

this is one of the funniest videos on youtube just from its sheer wackiness .. oh man, Gonz has been making me laugh for over 20 years.

[skateanddisco]

shoes like addidas and nike are going to destroy the real skateboard shoe companies that are in it for the skateboarding not the money. Once nike and addidas made the money they wanted they will just drop skateboarding. Respect to the riders on their team they're all really good.

[jakehbr10]

people have been wearing addidas to skate 4ever

[nageek007]

I've been sponsored by Adidas way before Airwalks time. We'd get free shoes when we all rode for Blockhead skates out of Roseville Cali. Shell toes were the best for skating in. Big Corporations will always eat up the industry anyway. That's how Monopoly's work. RIP Blockhead

[El21P]

Actually, Adidas came out with some quality skate shoes.

I got the bumblebee edition, and they have many quality skaters such as

Lem Villemin, and Nestor Judkins.

And As for Mark Gonzales he was a pioneer to skateboarding.

he is famous for the GONZ Drop.

[nudelprinsen]

wow cool dude

[rexnickles]

i like how trying to make a living off something you love doing makes you a sellout.

rather sellout to skateboarding than sellout to Wal-Mart or McDonalds.

[dodoedada]

she is goofy

[dodoedada]

what da fuck is that. mark gonzalez is a Mother Fucker

[Deano982]

Whats the song?

[JhoodGrind88]

lol "even tho god probably wont read your letter" lmao , his insane, and one of the best, out there with penny

[sjanoski]

fucking sellout. he's becoming retarded. yea comment comment comment, he insulted 'our' mark, we are insulted too.I'm a poser I don't know what the Gonz did. blablabla,. anyway FUCK EA AND ADIDAS!!!!

[MichaelPotapof]

dudes gotta make money if it affects you that much why not take it further than the internet? whats wrong with adidas they make quality shoes. Oh wait they arent a skate brand oh shit sorry pfft so skaters have to wear skate brans now by some unwritten law haha fuck off

[OhTrendyOne]

who are you to say whats right and wrong in his life?

[Redlags]

Fck that, if Gonz can still make a money from his name then he should. Hmm go work 8-5 or do a commercial. Dude learn more about life and slaving to pay the rent. Sellout, wtf is a sellout? He makes money, what a faggot, how lame... You're an idiot.

[DOitNOWsk8]

my favorite part is the smile at the end. He's an amazing skater.

[herecomestomy]

if this mark wanted to be,hed be one of the top pros nowadays and not a legend.

[blakjak101]

He's def my favorite sk8er no doubt about it.

[skateordie78]

mark is one of the all time greatest skaters, creative and fresh!!! peace

[skatersekone]

man ..seriously. this guy was bs smithing 11-stair hand rails when i wasn`t born yet :| ..respect !

[heystopit123]

heheh hes nuts hes the best

[skatersekone]

jjumpsuit .. do you even know who fucking mark "the gonz" gonzales is ?

[irncru]

haha hes just babbling shit

[shredhard7]

What do video games have to do with skateboarding and art? Fuck video games. Doesn't this game just distance ourselves from actually skateboarding? This makes no sense

[harveywallbanga]

Obviously it has something to do with skateboarding and art if the gonz is involved. The game, "skate", is trying to recreate skateboarding as realistically as possible, so it will be believable for gamers and skateboarders alike. He's only in this game because Tony Hawk's game is nothing similar to real boarding.

[seerskater]

woah no offense but its just a video game dont get all sacrilegious about it

[sjanoski]

MONEY BITCH!

[iTzToTi]

Mark Gonzales Pro Skater ? Sounds nasty dude lol

MGPS lmao

[jjumpsuit]

can you imagine what a person with no real idea of what skateboarding is about would think when they watch this?

A late thiry something guy in a bathrobe and slippers jumping over a park bench on a seventies shaped skateboard....

this is fucking fantastic!

[Nominay]

I am crying from laughter this video is making me laugh so hard. Gonz is a mad genius

[cellardoor55]

my life right there...make art and skate

[atrem0]

omfg fucking amazing I cant wait to buy this game

[DonFelikz]

woooord

[dave3219]

me niether

[stumpycandle]

thats so cool homeskillet

[stumpycandle]

shut up

[herecomestomy]

damn mark gonzales is sick.he should have his own video game.

[heystopit123]

mark gonzales is god but what the fuck is he talking about i cant follow him at all

[zonagexs]

AZNASJZ- this isnt his video game its a video game from EA called skate and he is in it.

[AZNASJZ]

His own video game for ea? when?

[hacksaw]

fuck ya dude. the man himself, this will be awesome. "like writing a letter to god even though god wont read the letter."

[ATMurrellFilms]

HELL YES.
