Classics: Eric Koston "Chomp On This"

"Chomp" remains one of the all-time great vids to mix up sheer fun and dork tricks with gnarly, hardcore skating. Trevor Colden introduces a classic part from 2002.

[@endlessweekend5041]

that sketchy line was the best :D

[@s.a.l.1974]

It looks like how the guitar solo that's playing sounds y'know what I mean

[@williamgass9242]

That best line was sketchy

[@jrodgers211]

Especially with the sketchy gg guitar solo, favorite part of part

[@BIG_G_512]

I think I love this video because it was the era where popular videos still had tricks that I could conceivably do in my lifetime. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm even close to doing most of this but I can watch it and say "hey, blunt a picnic table, I can work towards that" or "fuck yeah, 5 stair handrails, now I'm hyped to go skate" Watching Jamie Foy crook fucking El Toro, or seeing Jaws ollie off a fucking building, or watching Chris Joslin tre a fucking 20 foot grass gap just makes me say "holy fucking shit" and stay inside lmao.

[@lazona41]

Aurelien=M. Jordan example

[@neos.h.7892]

Totally bro I understand this. Skate with friends though and just encourage each other

[@aquaflow1264]

I absolutely love watching the videos from 1996-2003 and that’s about it.. the bar has been raised farrrr too high nowadays

[@edgaryzen4925]

Skating casually is rather more encouraging and influential than skating extremely technical. Skate video on DVD or VHS simply has more value than just sharing on social media

[@edgardmiguel6464]

What a beautiful day to skate... Ah hell nah

[@martinzuniga6605]

2:20 "Hey koston, wanna try that line again?" "Nope"

[@nathanblindt]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paleikas3180]

He camouflages three falls as pushes. Excellent

[@nickmccack]

Ninja Lifestyles punching the air rn

[@thelittlestrummerboy]

I swear to god Koston is the closest we'll get to a skating comedian, that line at 2:20 was so goddamn hilarious

[@grizzlywhisker]

That was the best part, it went perfect with the sloppy ass guitar solo lol.

[@sikamikanico04]

tim robinson

[@Sameoldage]

I have came back now ten plus times to rewatch. Most memorable line in my 18 years of pushin... froston

[@skatechatham]

His joke ender still kills everyones serious ender

[@alecballtowin7315]

that shit aint no joke bra

[@editname8536]

+skatechatham dont even know how he did that

[@Painless1992]

Damn, I remember this video part so well, seems like it is burned in my memory even though I haven't watched it that many times. It probably left a lot bigger impact on me than any of the "bangers" video parts nowadays. Chomp on this was such a great video. Koston's interpretation of GG Allin was just priceless.

[@johnss2k434]

man these classics bring back a lot of good memories!

[@nsjs932]

One of my favorite parts to watch. Seen it hundreds of times

[@HangarLiving]

Koston if you read this ''YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO KIDS HERE IN MY COUNTRY" KEEP shredding!!!

[@alfredoking14]

2:20 FIRING LINE

[@jamalydude]

Eric koston is the man, and GG Allin In a skate video hell yes!

[@BrandonHanson]

This video part brings so much in smiles and good laughs. Truly a legend in the skate world.

[@joshuahutchinson9982]

All these years and I have only seen a very few video parts where someone skates to GG. Fucking love it. Live Fast Die. 🤘

[@orlandobetancourt9199]

One of my favorite skaters of all time.. watch n see why!!

[@XminhacontaX]

2:20 best line ever

[@DavidHughesEire]

+franscisco jr 100% agree, so fuckin sketchy, but love the way he just keeps goin'.. That's what skatin is all about.. havin fun.. Koston knows what he's doing :) Classic part :)

[@10DollarProductions]

Koston was my fav skater growing up and I always thought of him as like a skateboarding robot basically. When this part came out I was shocked, like the dude was chugging beers and keeping sketchy ass lines and dressing up as GG Allin. Like I really didn't know this other side to him lol.

[@boner7832]

its funny that the dork tricks are trendy now, no complies and impossibles

[@nikokaapa]

The older I get, the better this part gets

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

Man, can't believe kostons a classic already...I feel old. Watched him everyday on vhs

[@ChrisCobraEliteTM]

One the great videos I watched in the early 2000's

[@tropicalbeach9225]

at 3:22 that was when EK went to Tokyo Japan in 2001. I know because pictures of that exact trick, spot, location was in a thrasher magazine!

[@nickmccack]

Definitely the best video cuz of the shear fact they were just fucking around and having fun but still somehow made a sick video and didn't take it serious at all haha the whole video needs to be uploaded in great quality as a classic

[@noah1dollar]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 my friends

[@HokageKing]

Even when Eric koston is doing dork tricks he's still the mother f****** man

[@isaiahcastro4674]

This what got me pumped up to skate when I was young still kinda does now

[@snotnose3381]

This part made me so hyped 2 go out skate back then , I fell on my face 😀gg halloween type of snot👃🏼👉🏼🤙🏼🎃

[@PotatoPlop]

#CHOMP2

[@mikhailman]

ahahaha that line at 2:20 is amazing) i think its actually harder to land these tricks imperfectly every single time in a row then landing them properly.

[@ekilsr]

that sketchy tricks looks so stylish

[@krucialkevkalamity2055]

That's the most natural flowing skate section ever.

[@hostsofmichael]

I FELL ON MY FACE!

[@Forenzikproductions]

love koston

[@Chenzaloon]

my favorite skate video of all time #chomp

[@BulletProofBacon]

The chiefs part in chomp was insane

[@methodmane]

the gg allin makes the part 10x better

[@deontemerritt91]

this one of Koston's best tricks eating Pizza while skating just like in Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games and franchise he was born to do it.

[@DonNoDraper]

This video is old af but I still love it back when Koston was on Girl & es

[@xhxxkxxdx]

WOW i remember when this VHS came out. GG FTW

[@pedrohgromero1]

Dude, i'd like to hear a full version of the intro song

[@mdcplease]

I think the real hero on this vid is GG Allin

[@jamalydude]

mdcplease I still have trouble believing koston likes gg haha

[@chrisjwyoungcy]

Would of been a better clip with ‘die when you die’ playing in the background.

[@R0b1zzle137]

lol i thought it was a known fact that koston was kind of a dickhead or something. Still one of my favorite skaters

[@gregbey9237]

GG Allin was too sexy for this planet

[@aaronlobato5268]

Best part of all time.

[@littlebear2477]

I’m not sure how you can be doing groundbreaking tricks and still keep them stylish as ...... Amazing

[@whatsabryan]

The sketchy line playing during the solo must’ve been intentional. That was art.

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

I fell on my face man! I fell on my face!!!!

[@z96109]

I like the part where he lands sketchy and keeps going.

[@brittbranton]

damn I miss these days

[@airic2897]

nollie blunt on the picnic table is timeless m8

[@TheKostasFB]

the intro is so nice!

[@jwill55kings]

I know it's a joke but 2:22 is insane still

[@edgaryzen4925]

Maybe he was feeling tipsy haha?

[@Fatdill10]

Favorite part ever

[@Obez45]

2:50 "Because I'm TNT, I'm dynamite..."

[@Aquemini1998]

[@MatuaBlasta]

Every trick was so clean from the line at 2:19

[@shanedurham7093]

I wish i could find a pair of és Koston 3's! those were some bad bitches.

[@90sskateboarder27]

Wish I could get a pair of those "es" kicks!!!!

[@chiefmachine24]

I fell on my face man!

[@jeremiahmendoza387]

When are they gonna make a part 2 already??

[@grizzlywhisker]

This song reminds me of Brandon DiCamillo's vocals in those old CKY songs.

[@bobfawkes7199]

Hahaha, Koston skating to GG Allin.

[@nikolabicanin4972]

Exactly. Best parody part ever

[@izzybizzy9589]

Damn I was laughing so hard! Koston is so funny!!!

[@realmackle]

2:18 the funniest line of all fucking time

[@BSIM13]

Trevor Colden sounds like a fifth grader answering a word problem at the beginning of this

[@smallman9787]

[@therush757]

Koston’s fucking around footage is better than some people’s taking it serious footage.

[@dualityfirm4551]

[@travisguide4516]
