Mark Gonzales and friends

This is the "Tales of Terror" section of Thrasher's "A Blast From The Past and Present" skaterock video from 1986. Some of the earliest modern street skating on video from Mark Gonzales, Steve Rocco and Jesse Martinez. Even back then Gonz had the best style.

Awesome, skating first and foremost should be about fun....and honestly, time machine or not i doubt many technical skills new kids would have a chance at being a pro back then, vert, pools, wall rides and launch ramps/street and variety of skills mattered then, not so much now, kickflip and popsicle stick boards with no character, kids who carry thier boards to skate at an enclosed climate controlled park indoors, fuck that shit..just go fucking skate

that was sick when the singer did a backflip

Came here to watch a sweet video of Tales of Terror and they had to ruin it by mixing in all of this video of skateboarding. Who the hell wants to see these amateurs? This is "old School"? I didn't see one of these teenagers do a coffin!
