This Gonz part is one of my favourites. Filmed in 87 even though it came out in 89…all this stuff is ground breaking.
I only found out this part existed about ten years ago or something. Clips from it were featured on UK tv when they broadcast that vert comp at Wigan(?).
I always thought it was from Barge at Will but never watched Barge at Will…then came across Mondo Vision on Youtube and there it was…the Gonz part I only knew from clips on Channel 4.

He sounds so much like Andy Anderson in this.
This makes total sense. Can you imagine a part from 3 years of filming every day during that time?

also this much overlooked insanity inbetween Blind and Real
beyond fucked - the table to rail trick.
and the fact that 60/40 was basically Menace before Menace

Really looking forward to this. The Threads (Idea Vacuum) vids are sick.
I need to come off Instagram till I can sit down probably and watch that Jake part, the clips are blowing up and look mental.

Santa Cruz have been building a good team last few years.
Still wouldn’t buy an SC board, but can appreciate it from afar

To be honest I found the part weird in the end, it was like an introducing video part that turned him pro too. I didn’t need to see everything, including the half eaten sandwich in his bag (of tricks). Shame. Could of been done so much better, so stop, start…
Was it Jack Nicholson who said about Lord of the Rings “It just had to many endings man…”?

The burnside trick had me totally hypnotised. I had to watch it over and over.
Ishod, Lil Dre, Jamir Brown, Christian Henry and others…’Good Guy’.

Totally forgot about this crew!
Whole clip was amazing but loved all those tricks on the tile ledge over grate, so satisfying especially the boardslide to 50.On paper should be a bit stinking but was actually proper

I loved this.
Lenz and Lenz 2 come recommended, but the editing is batshit crazy lol. Did they come with an epilepsy warning like video games?
First time I saw Seimi lip slide and flip out over the rail I sat there chuckling to myself.

That was really sick.
The trouser choices seem less weird in Japan… They tend to be a lot more experimental with fashion choices anyway I guess.

There was a welcome to ace video where the guy basically films an entire part hacking around a carpark killing curbs. Anyone remember who it was?
