The Gonz

My first skateboard was a Mark Gonzales Vision skateboard. Here I am in my late 80's total lack of style posing with it in my mother's front yard.

I would purchase any skate mag with stories about Mark. He, along with Natas Kaupas and Tommy Guerrero, was one of the earliest and greatest street skateboarders. Innovation could be the Gonz's middle name. I'm a big fan of his skating and art. I'm feeling under the weather today and haven't much energy at all, but it lifts me up to be able to see him do his thing from back in the day. This is perhaps my favorite.
