This is the 500th post on Vert Is Dead. I figured I'd use one of my favorite Gonz interviews for today. I'd really like to see the video Mark talked about making with him filming just Ed Templeton skating turned into reality.
Thanks, everybody.
The photos and interview are by Thomas Campbell.

hurray for 500. Thomas Campbell has a surf film in a surf themed art show that's at my school right now.
one of my favorite gonz pieces.
congrats on 500!
500!
I was psyched on that interview when it came out. It's sad to compare how awesome Blind was back then compared to how it is now. Creager is awesome but the Reaper is just blah.
Not sure how many of you know this but Gonz was originally in Questionable doing a foot plant over the pyramid at Powell and he was pissed to be in a Rocco affiliated film and asked to be removed. I have the footage at my moms place, I think.
Only found you recently. Congrats on 500. Must be really hard to keep up a blog, my friend tried it once and it didn't last long. That interview is amazing. I printed it and am going to put it on the back of the toilet door at work so the other people here can learn about why skateboarding is better than most other things.
Tully.
Did the Gonz footplant wind up in the Birdhouse Feasters video during Jeremy Klein's part?
This could be it in Feasters but iirc it's a different angle.
