eric koston 411 PROfile

[deathrowsk8team]

Holy crap! I think they interveiwed my uncle here O.o

[hitmanpc3]

Wow this is from around 93 or 94. This also had bam margera on here when he was like 13 or something and his part is awesome as well.

[driaslow]

@stoozer12: well that's what its called on hotsteeze. com

[ltskates4life]

i can barely see the tricks ....did they film this wit a fuckin microwave ? jeez ..

[matdoomn]

@noahinthewhale Yeah but that's fucking Leo Romero man.

[skatelover9110]

almost positive that anyone who ever saw koston or penny skate back in these days pretty much were left speechless

[albeze84]

this was the first video i owned. and i think i was off a vhs copy. 1 this changed my life, 2 i havent stopped skating since. and 3 i was 5 years old. the san jose section was raw. i dont know too much but if someone reads this and has a copy let me know i will pay top dollar for this video. im 19 and havent stoppd skating. thank you koston.

[KuriousJoe1]

what year is this from ?

[Tdogg447]

@KuriousJoe1 early late 50s

[itskane79]

@Speakeasy he'll yes that's my story almost to the T, seen that shit in 9th grade and I'm 31 now. If you have not seen it you gotta check his old 101 part too wit Adam mcnatt.

[itskane79]

100% agreed wit munchmaster, nobody could fuck with koston in the 90's. Still one of the best and favs to this day.

[SoftSoapHanded]

1er song ??? i cant see !

[KuriousJoe1]

I wonder if Eric Koston ever watches his old material. He should cos' this stuff is so good ! I love the gritty old school camerawork, the track just fits so well to the video. And of course Koston himself kills in this film !

[130DTL]

Best skater, best style, best part ever.

[TheMunchMaster]

koston in his prime, probly the best skater on the earth at that point in time lol

[woodyrulesok]

Always loved Kostons style, smooth.

[speakEAZYone]

This part changed my life. I watched this EVERY DAY to hype myself up. I even bought Daily Operation cuz of this and I still bump that shit. I saw this in 7th grade and I'm 28 now. Most skate footie from back then looks dated but Koston's part here is still amazing to me. And he's still the dopest and not in a old-man Tony Hawk-900-MTV way, ya know? Forever King. The whole Girl/Chocolate crew is bananas.

[jbrad138]

Baudo says, ain't no time to play, gotta keep working everyday..

[negrotepa]

legend

[skatechatham]

you won't ever see anyone string together this many tricks in a line now days... pretty sad if you think about it

[bpyjktgiuk]

You said this was his first PROfile on 411. His first PROfile was 411 # 3. Then, this was his best of after that.

[dontay77]

I MISS the good ole days!

[DriiftSumThinTSB]

have this on vhs too lmao.. mah nigga eric coston .. and ya .. this was the gud ol days.. how skating first started.. grungy .. grungy grungy !

[dboytesoro]

damn dude, iremember these days it was like we wore baggy ass loose pants...it's wasn't about the tight, ball crunching queer pants we skaters wear todayy...good ole times

[BejiitaNoOuji]

word man!

[matdoomn]

I keep the baggy style intact seriously,tight jeans are like designed for girls man

[dgk1122334455]

[matdoomn]

[dgk1122334455]

[robinshood89]

[SoftSoapHanded]

[292610]

[SDPhatCat]

[griffinthecity]

wow i got this on VHS.

[foglike]

way sick. classic part, classic skater, all goooood!

[ikyf2]

i have this prime skate vid and this comes out after is done lol

[lordtikiman]

what are those kool pants that always show their socks in these old videos?

[FoodCubes]

They didn't really have baggy wide leg pants back then, so we would buy pants for fat and tall people and then cut the ankles off.

[BADRATT2008]

word

[SplitterSnaregrind]

way old school

[XanaduForever]

old school

[blahblah6565]

the accents the characters talk with is an obvious canada diss

[mcdickassass]

incorrect

[Sk8trLee]

Wheres the video where he`s like in some chinease place or something with alot of polution at the intro and then he sk8ts? great vid by the way:p

[neoi78]

Menikmati. great video. its where hes on tai wan or something.. where he was born aparently. peace

[hekigankoumou]

It was Bangkok, Thailand.

[Masterpunch]

thats funny cuz that is where he was born

[drjw7]

es' menikmati video, check out the whole video.....

[sk8punk2424]

koston is og like back in the day.......

[tulaime]

i had to open an account just to put some love on this Koston wall. ive just gotten to that stage in my skating where you can fully appreciate not only Koston's magnificent style, but also his character and his contribution to skateboarding as a whole. and this '94 footage is absolutely disgusting. he must be commended, for increasingly, there arent many vids that make you want to drop everything and go skate.

[ugotnockedthefuckout]

cringe comment right here

[andrea7teen]

Koston is an OG, lol about the comment under mine.

[bcbudonaut]

its super nintendo you blowjob

[bcbudonaut]

kostons an og

[petekicksass]

[blahblah6565]

[Kitaroija]

[54spiritedwill54]

koston is fucking amazing at street skate

[nastynzo]

the greatest.

[Kitaroija]

I think it's from '93

So says my 411VM issue 61 10 year anniversary from '03

[turb00]

[goodfella2145]

[kjetilskate]

@goodfella2145 word

[xxkilla1996xx]

eric koston's doggie is so cute

[koston52]

It means Berra + eric.

[JoraleMendoza]

Can someone tell me what The Berrics mean.

[Pudlis16]

I hope the internet Rumours that he died are fake.

[antwanswan1]

they are

[elhef]

He became a expressive dancer

[ATMsk8er65]

DUH! he is still alive

[Pudlis16]

Is Eric Koston Really Dead???????? Man that's horrible.

[ATMsk8er65]

no!

[spaceboy1979]

does ne1 know how old the skating god known as Erik Koston is here????????????????????

[spaceboy1979]

Koston is my favourite skater of all time

[nickwrenn]

the fakie tre at 3:54 was sick shit

[rahim7a]

To the kid who said that Cole and Haslam own Koston's face. Anything that is considered gnarly now, he probably did 5 years ago and didn't even film it. That is why he is considered the best. I think I might find out where you live and murder your dog.

[speakonitgod]

street skating started in san francisco

[rasseeeeee]

YOU FUCKING FAGGOTTSS!!!!!!!!!! DO ANYBODY KNOW SKATEBOARDING AT ALL????!? eric koston is fucking great but come on MULLE is the fucking GOD in skateboarding! mullen came up with kickflip,heelflip,flat-ground ollie and many more !!

[nickwrenn]

get ur shit straight. mullen didnt invent the ollie. and u cant compare them. mullens freestyle u jerkoff

[RazzTrance]

actually, mullen did invent the ollie. flatground ollie was all mullen. and he invented every flip trick known in skateboarding. and if you look at some of mullens newer videos. he isnt straight freestyle anymore. so get YOUR shit straight and watch mullens bio dumbass

[nickwrenn]

my bad. you right. alan gefland made the vert ramp ollie

[gosmagrind]

if rodney is the king of street i wanna see him jumping stairs and grinding rails...

[switchfrontbiggies33]

hey look comments about rodney mullen or ryan sheckler thats a fucking surprise, thats only a bout every skate video on youtube?

[davo113]

koston is fucking amazing at street skate

[mattchibi]

Yo this video is off the hook. i compiled all of koston's footy from his ES video, and did some cool editing.  check it out on my profile!

[snizzle515151]

mullen is the king of flatland, eric is the king of street

[manualamile]

Eric Koston is dang good, but not the king of street skating, that's Rodney Mullen

[Elliottebbs]

rodnet mullens flatland/ freestyle not street. eric koston is the undisputed king of street skating

[deadrabbit123]

rodney mullen just does circus tricks, koston slays him at street

[evilbisquit]

You're an idiot. There wouldn't be modern street without Rodney. Really, where would street be if Mullen hadn't invented the flat-ground ollie?

[deadrabbit123]

...that doesn't have much to do with the fact that Koston could kill Rodney at any street spot.

[marokokisetter]

they do different tricks with different styles.. So theres no competition..

[hoovucdc]

Actually it was Alan "Ollie" Gelfand who created the Ollie. Mullen was the creator of the Kickflip. Even if Mullen wasn't behind the kickflip someone else would have came along and done it.

Anyways, Koston is way more gnarly than Mullen.

[marokokisetter]

Alan Gelfand only created the ollie air for the ramp. Rodney created the flatground ollie we use on street right now. Without mullen ever creating the flatground ollie, we wouldn't have the kickflip, heelflip, 360 flip or any other stuff that mullen created.

[ConstantijnBoeckx]

true, but rodney's still legit.

[techthis61]

seroiusly i use watch the best off 411 just foir kostons part it use pump upp soo bad too sk8 i was 13 when this came and im 27

[HomologousSeries]

damn, even today I think this footage is still sick.

[JoshyM3]

damn, i wonder if people will say p rods footy is weak in like 2020. this is pure gold as far as older footy goes. koston will forever be the king of street skating. no doubt about that.

[RDoubt96]

did youtube start rating comments or something? I keep seeing numbers on them.

[frfrfrfrfrf]

so koston used to hang out in front of a freakin grocery store o_O?

[skat3run3]

The best part is when he's playing super nintendo at the end rofl.

[solmess1]

SNES!!! has 2b at least 10+ year old footage!! LA classickk skater!! go LAke show!

[purtysavvy]

[Jackassbobby112]

I gotta start skating again!

[VilleSkateKrewRep]

[KosTonsister]

marc johnson shreds ...haslam is gnarly too

[tylerwoudstra]

rodney mullen=best.. try watching him

[richie27]

rodney = not very stylish and isnt the best either

[allzinc]

yes but you have to give rodney credit for inventing almost every flip trick . he contributed to street skating prolly more than anyone else

[jmarcoj1]

Chris cole and haslam own koston's face

[blahblah6565]

bullshit they do

[thefucingchamp]

How old are you, 12?

[YAO06]

paul rodriguez jr? are new or something?

[thataznguitarguy]

He said Paul Rodriguez Jr. cause his dad is Paul Rodriguez, the comedian.

Just to let you know.

[rriioo]

He's good but i like Paul Rodriguez jr. better.

[Adlai88]

Check out Koston's photoblog: http://sharetheair.net/ericblo­g

[rippnlaces]

[backlip19]

[ciler83]

It was their fault that he left.

[porkfrieddylan]
