Mark Gonzales #29.



Inspiration meets innovation.

When everybody else was doing nollie to boardslides on handrails in the early 2000s, Gonz started jumping onto rails using a boneless. Brian Anderson was also doing the same thing.

There's been a rumor that Mark was a potential rider for Girl, but somebody on the team didn't want him so he wound up on Fourstar as a compromise of sorts. I assume this would have been around the time in the mid 1990s when 60/40 had ended. If you look at from a what they skate perspective, it makes sense for him to not be on Girl. He's more of an all terrain type who fit in better at Real.
