TBT: Mark Gonzales Video Days
Posted by Paul Zitzer, Thursday, November 19, 2015 11:51 AM
Mark Gonzales is a genius, and I’m not using the term loosely. It’s crazy to think how much of what we’re still doing today, or trying to do, was his idea, from the stalefish to just about any 180 fakie 50-50 you can think of. If you look at where skating is today and think of all the trends that have come and gone in between, you’ll see that this part from Video Days cuts through it all and goes straight to the core of skateboarding. He also boardslides a ridiculous double kink, does one of those fs inverts that helped put Ronnie Sandoval on our radar 20 some years later, introduces Wallenberg to the world (frontside grab!), and ushers jazz onto the scene. All hail Gonz, the greatest of all time.
