A Weird Day in NYC w/ Gonz

Trying to keep up with skateboardings most creative legend – Mark Gonzales – for a full day of skateboarding and aggressive biking in New York City is still no joke even if Gonz is in his 50’s. Laughter would be aplenty however, the dude is a riot. He is still getting rad on the board and doing weird ass tricks on his bike. Gonz is even still throwing himself down huge sets of stairs and boardsliding rails on luggage.

Alongside the biking and skateboarding of Mark Gonzales is Tyler “Manchild” Pacheco, Chico Brenes, Tyler “Manchild” Pacheco, Simon Bannerot, and Rick Howard.

“Out in NYC, waiting at Tompkins for 2 hours is nothing new. But our wait ending in Chico and Rick showing up on bikes with Gonz was a scenario none of us saw coming. Mark took us all over the city, turned our average day into an extraordinary one, and then disappeared like a ghost.”
