This game was so on point. On so many levels. It wasn't made for the broad mass, it was made for skaters which is so fucking great. I mean, just the fact that the Gonz was in it, or like, the overall roster of pros in the game is gnar-buck! Mark, Danny Way, Jerry Hsu, Mike Carroll and many more. All legends! So please EA, hear my call, make another SKATE-game. One as great as this one was.
this was so profound to me when I first played the game, i replayed this video a lot, then my xbox got busted and the years passed. finding this on youtube is so evocative and lovely :)
I don't know why but I still remember this video even though I haven't played Skate for a loooong time. Just booted it back up today. What a revolutionary game man
THIS is the video that inspired me to express myself through skateboarding and keep skating in general. Mark is an artist and philosopher, and he doesn't exactly percieve the world like me or you might.
one of the best/most important skaters ever. its so good what hes saying here too, you can tell he doesn't skate for money, or fame he just does it because he loves it
he looks at life in such a different and like layed back way. enjoing the small things in life that we may not valuete so much. i love his style and his thoughts, really cool
those are some really inspirational graphics! quite amazing EA, bravo my old friends! i hope to see the day of EA skate 3 as well, maybe the graphics for the videos will be even better! bravo!
He STARTED modern skating, he was the first to skate a handrail, he was one of the first to ride switch. He did SO much, he even has a gap named after him. I mean, I get you, these days landing something as simple as a kickflip or grinding a rail seems so much easier but this guy started it.
when i saw this i knew nothing about him so i thought he sucked and that he didn't deserve to be on ea skate, then i saw his part in video days and i learned about the tricks he created and what he's done for skateboarding now i respect him
Of all the EA skate. series, this one is the most powerfull one, you can really feel the emotion. The other are of course great too, keep up the great work!
I think the gameplay got way better in skate 2 and 3 but skate 1 has so much charm, personality, and like you said, emotion. The vibes are on point in skate 1
hes explaining how, to him, that skateboarding is fullfilling as it is both art and creative. he also is talking about how it is something easy and fun to fo to have a meaningful life.
skating isnt about who can land what trick its about having fun. if all you do is cruise or do trciks then thats good as long as your happy with your board and how your progressing with it thats all that matters.
@newbutthunt and the laughs you have with friends and the moments when you land a trick you been trying to get down for ages. Its not just some wood with wheels. Its wood with wheels that creates some Funny memories and good times. Try not to be too shallow next time.

Samuel Klauninger Right, I still play SKATE every now and then til this day. The second two games just didn't really compare in my opinion.
Unfortunately, the new game is being made for the masses and not just for skaters
@@roguecraftstar9251 lesson learned be careful what you wish for
I think he's subversively telling us to not play video games and do something creative instead.
implying it can fry your brain with obsessive tendencies like mines. Y_Y
Life.. pain... what does it all mean ??...
this was so profound to me when I first played the game, i replayed this video a lot, then my xbox got busted and the years passed. finding this on youtube is so evocative and lovely :)
this game is almost 10 years old, damn. i still feel like ps3 is a new console, lol
macmat5 hell im still like that with PS2A. time really flies...this really puts things into perspective
Now it's been 7 more years, welcome back
@@skatercoldishi, it's me from a different account. Still kind of feel the same 😂
@@maciejmatejko7571 Haha nice! I do too.. Super odd feeling
"kind of like the blues..." i love gonz.
I don't know why but I still remember this video even though I haven't played Skate for a loooong time. Just booted it back up today. What a revolutionary game man
Finally Mark G is getting some props. I can't wait for this frickin' game.
brothers, unite once more. the algorithim has summoned us once again.
i love it when a person's eyes tell so much.
THIS is the video that inspired me to express myself through skateboarding and keep skating in general. Mark is an artist and philosopher, and he doesn't exactly percieve the world like me or you might.
one of the best/most important skaters ever.

Best video ever for over a decade i always turn to this for art and sending my notes to god
he looks at life in such a different and like layed back way. enjoing the small things in life that we may not valuete so much. i love his style and his thoughts, really cool
It's like god put this in my algorithm for a reason. Holy nostalgia I promise to wake up a better man
Mark Gonzales is my favorite skater I want to meet him someday
those are some really inspirational graphics! quite amazing EA, bravo my old friends!
i hope to see the day of EA skate 3 as well, maybe the graphics for the videos will be even better! bravo!
such a genuine, beautiful mind
wow that smile in the end ... so powerful
He STARTED modern skating, he was the first to skate a handrail, he was one of the first to ride switch. He did SO much, he even has a gap named after him.
I mean, I get you, these days landing something as simple as a kickflip or grinding a rail seems so much easier but this guy started it.
how can you watch this guy and not get a smile on your face :)
Anyone here today??? Just started playing this game and it’s still good imo the best out of all of them
i love this guy, its so surreal to me that hes a pro skateboarder
this video inspired me to skate back when ea skate came out .. wise man
when i saw this i knew nothing about him so i thought he sucked and that he didn't deserve to be on ea skate, then i saw his part in video days and i learned about the tricks he created and what he's done for skateboarding now i respect him

hes explaining how, to him, that skateboarding is fullfilling as it is both art and creative. he also is talking about how it is something easy and fun to fo to have a meaningful life.

...that was crazy, in slippers and everything...when I try it over low things, it's hard to keep the speed of the board for me.
I like this guy.
whats the song in the backround?
skating isnt about who can land what trick its about having fun. if all you do is cruise or do trciks then thats good as long as your happy with your board and how your progressing with it thats all that matters.
I love this dude! how old is he?
The Gonz is a legend. Best skater ever.

It's because they are. They've devoted everything in their life to skateboarding that they forget about everything else in their life.
best crazy person ever
@TheChillSkateGroup you get like that when you get older. There is some element of sanity to being yourself and thats a process of discovery.
a scientist on a skateboard pretty much
@bryanFskates69 totally. same too. he's just that cool
yup at zumiez there a whole display there
The dude abides with his skateboard
same here.
Does anyone know what that board is?
@some1bomber O ok. It makes more sense now when you put it that way.
you unlock him like, half-way thru the game. you have to follow him from the schoolyard (i think) to the art gallery.
what is that board?
yeah dude the GONZ is LEGEND he BEAST
song?
im trying to find out the name of the person who edited (post prodution) this and the other skaters "about them" videos...does anyone know?
GONZ is my hero . any TRUE skater knows he & Natas revolutionized the streets. Look into it. bout time he gets his props.
what type?
Hes just got to be Dr emmett brown if they ever do a back to the future re-make!
right on,
he is like the last u unlock in think
damn right.
what does he say in the last sentence ? I don't understand
imagination and creativity
when you think about it there actually isnt really anything that compares to art and skateboadring
MG is beast.
kind of like the blues... lmao, mark is awesome :D
im looking for the music please EA if you have it or someone ❤️
awesome
what does he says in the last sentence??
from 0:57 to 1:02 i see myself teaching my kids how to skate man
ALL HAIL GONZ!
GONZ is a mad scientist.
great person
@newbutthunt and the laughs you have with friends and the moments when you land a trick you been trying to get down for ages.
Its not just some wood with wheels. Its wood with wheels that creates some Funny memories and good times.
Try not to be too shallow next time.
