A lot of people can skate better than Natas now but back in the 80’s he was unparralleled. True pioneer
Amazing. Every era has stand outs,but some skaters are timeless.
@Leaffan93rules
wrong. Skating is skating and it always will be. “New era kids” arent real skaters. Im 16 and Im in love with skateboarding. I look up to people like Natas because their original and they’re the reason skating is what it is today.
@Leaffan93rules Yeah, but they forget that before then, nobody did it, and now people have been doing them for 20+ years. Thats why when a kid says “this board/trucks/shoes are too heavy/wide/long etc. I always say. Really? Guys were pulling kickflips 20 years ago on boards almost twice as wide and heavy.
@Leaffan93rules * A lot
@Leaffan93rules or on a ten pound board with eraser-like wheels, without any vision into the future of skating. natas was right there, inventing those tricks, breaking into uncharted territory. kids today were not there, & they don’t know what it felt like.
@benaberry thank you! everyone cares way to much about doing certain tricks now and days and the pure reason for skateboarding is gone, fun.
The first time I ever saw a wallride, it was Natas, I lost my mind. I mean I lost my mind, I tried so hard to ollie like that, we had no ramps hardly in my town it was all street skating and Natas, Vallely, Gonzo, Mullen, those guys WERE skating!!
anyone who saw him ollie, wallride, or handrail in 87 knows. Anyone who didn’t, doesn’t. End of story
im glad this came out ,people should know about natas ,mark gonzalez, julien stranger,john cardiel ogs like that
I dare anyone to have as original thought as Natas / Gonz / Mullen / Mike V / Jay Adams. . . . . . . possibly Hawk.
These guys didnt follow any thing but just a feel, thats it. These days its ohhh you cant do a flippty flippy flip, whatever, create something original.
@Leaffan93rules and they wouldnt have tricks like that if it werent for natas and other skater from his day
@mistaflynn76
Whatever dick. I started skating in 1980.
Hail Natas!
@dgarvin1 Mate if you been rolling since the early 80’s and showed the world how to bust randrails, ollies, flips yadda ydda then maybe you can stand on your forum perch and judge but i’m thinking you first picked up a board in the late 90’s and thought you were gangsta> You Suck!

@dgarvin
Damn Fella, how can ya drop a bomb like that?
that’s gotta be the worst comment ever . Gonz was a true pioneer and also one hell of an awesome cat/artist/spokesman.

@Leaffan93rules and they wouldn’t be able to do it on the board natas was on either
@Leaffan93rules they have no chance to compete with natas, i even met a gut older than me who didn’t know who he was!!!!
Right, gonz is so annoying. Imitation crazy. He used that to stick out against the other top skaters.
It’s so fake.
wow, my sk8 idol, wallrides and Gonz and street pioneers = good old rad times
my older brother’s friend had that thrasher magazine, he had a lance mountain skateboard too
first skater i ever saw.
@Nominay Yes, it was obviously an inside job, yet every kid believes that whatever’s on a textbook in school is correct. . and everyone on campus is an idiot. . . it happened in 1997?!
@Longi452 No, just what year it was, but glad you feel that way. /watch?v=5ktgl0tcsXg
