Friends and special guests turned out on Friday night at HVW8 gallery in LA to honor the most influential skateboarder of all time, Mark Gonzales, as he celebrates 15 years with adidas.<\/p>\n

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 honor himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show couldn\u2019t have been better. The HVW8 gallery was a perfect venue, all of the six photographers\u2019 work was a true representation of what Mark Gonzales is all about and the opening night was the who’s who of skateboarding\u2019s past and present.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t seem like fifteen years, it all went by real fast.\u201d<\/p>\n
