ita people like mark that make skateboarding an art and without him i dont think skating would be the same. Gonz is a legend and always will be in my eyes.
watching footage of the Gonz is what got me back into skateboarding at 31. One of my heroes growing up. If he can still rip at 40 there's no reason I can't rip at 30.
@soberpunk Fuck yeah dude, I just got back into skating too, at 29! I'm 30 now :) The Gonz is such a rad dude, he's so inside his own head when he skates, when he talks just all the time. That's why some people don't get him because his skating and everything else he does is all about what he wants to do, not what people want to see.
new zealand is rad, we are so isolated yet hold some of the most creative people on earth. there are no arrogant people because we are such a small country
@TheBeautician1 not that I know of, he is just an encentric, amazing, artistic skater. Certainly not slow, he's not stupid, as he said, has a hard time communicating but I don't think it's due to autism or anything like that, just his thoughts are probably hard for anyone to communicate.
idk but try searching for boards by length and width on google. standard is around 30-32" long, maybe try 37" length? not sure. hope you find something.
@ratfinkskates. yeah, scmidt stix has one called "yard stick" 36x10. was no prob back in the day but nowadays these boards are skinny. im the same size as ben schroder and he skates a 9 1/2. maybe ill just go with a re-issue.old skool rules.lol
artist's are more in tune with their surroundings, and usually result in being recluses... that's always suspect to people who are the opposite. if we were all the same this world would be really fucking boring... Gonz is real & someone you should respect n learn from..
i think this guy has more fun skateboarding than anyone i know. i wonder if he actually does have some sort of mental handicap... idc, though. absolutely amazing
Yesterday i tried to do kneeboarding like him on this trail when i was walking my dog, but the trail was narrow to my trucks hit the edge and i went flying onto the pavement, lol
during one of his last full length parts he talks about how he hit his head once realy hard on a mini and thats how and why he went kinda loopy, but i still love the gonz
Wow. He's an enthralling man. You just always want to see what he's up to. I periodically browse the net out of the sole pupose of finding new Gonz footy.
the gonz does not hav a mental illness i once meet him in America at a sk8park and i did talk to him he just sed "I have had problems with people in the past and i try to avoid dealing with those problems again"
i've questioned this before. Do you think he has a mental illness? I once watched a video interview where he said that the only thing anyone could do to hurt him was to try and be his friend, because he hates people. "I have a hard time communicating with people?" Maybe autism? He is one incredible guy
What's that big board he's riding?
