Video recap of the 15 Years of Gonz & Adidas Photo Show in Los Angeles.
Filmed by Roger Bagley. Edited by Ryan Lovell.

adidas skateboarding brought together six prominent photographers to tell Mark’s story over the past 15 years through their lenses. These photographers, who have watched Mark and witnessed his skateboarding antics all around the world include Gabe Morford, Joe Brook, Skin Phillips, Brian Gaberman, Benjamin Deberdt, and Sem Rubio.

Guests made their way through the renowned photography and ‘Gonz’ artwork to the outside celebrations where refreshments flowed, Mark’s old video clips were projected and everyone shared their own unique Gonz stories amongst each other and of course with the man of honour himself.

“The show couldn’t have been better.  The HVW8 gallery was a perfect venue, all of the six photographers’ work was a true representation of what Mark Gonzales is all about and the opening night was the who’s who of skateboarding’s past and present.

It really meant a lot that Mark was at the event as he never makes public appearances.  Seeing him and Natas together was a special moment for me. These are the skateboarders who made history.

Doesn’t seem like fifteen years, it all went by real fast.”

Skin Phillips  Exhibiting photographer, Editor at Large of Transworld Skateboarding & adidas Skateboarding Team Manager.
