CCS Presents | Why We Love The Gonz Who doesn't love The Gonz? Ask any pro skater who their all time favorites are and invariably you will have at least some mention of Mark Gonzales. He's the original master of style and the definitive leader of street-style creativity. He's influenced more skaters over more generations than arguably anyone else out there. But best of all, he's completely timeless. His hippy jumps in New York City today are as relevant as his grab-less backside airs were in Video Days 20 years ago.
