To celebrate Gonz’ birthday yesterday Krooked unleashed Mark Gonzales‘ part in the Krooked Kronichles video from 2006.
This has the lot. Longboard inverts, British park slashing, street goofing and a Spike Jonze cameo.
The man is timeless, ageless and still manages to keep us entertained after so many decades. Long live the one and only Gonz.
There’s nobody else out there like the Gonz. He’s one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and one of the most creatively fun skateboarders who has left more than a legacy to every generation that picks up a deck.
This features footage from Kicked Out Of Everywhere by Real (1999), Reel To Reel by Dan Wolfe (2001), and How They Get There by Spike Jonze (1997) all glued together by Jason Jessee, who introduces three must watch Mark Gonzales video parts for Thrasher’s Classic’s feature.
Get the teas on for 15 minutes of skateboarding gold.
The Gonz has unleashed a new rocket fueled Zip Zinger on Krooked today. Enjoy the ride and check out the brand new Spring 2013 catalogue. Those Misfits inspired decks (scroll down page) will surely be the envy of the world!

Artist, writer and legendary skateboarder Mark Gonzales has a new book coming out titled ‘Instead of Eros Avenged‘ via an independent publishing house called Nieves this July.
The book will feature select drawings, paintings and mobile phone photographs. The photographs depict a life of joyful and chaotic spontaneity, showing Gonzales posing with fans, hanging out with family and friends and of course, performing wallrides with text by Christopher Churchill.
Get this on your shopping list as you know this will be one to have in your living room at all times. For the latest on Gonz’ travels to the UK, click here and watch the video of The Obstacle jam in London below.
