This comment needs to blow up

[@MrRichieRides]

Woah woah woah woah I got real confused when you said Eric Koston was born in 1965 (I know now that you meant 1975 but it caught me off guard) I was like there is NO way Eric Koston is 55 years old 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@redalders1572]

he was born in '75, video said '65 : )

[@HauntedMound666]

thats a testament to this channel, skate or die is bottom-of-the-barrel, screw a second take right? Idk why I keep watching this channel it's all like, sub-buzzfeed tier.

[@maxzavala3171]

He also said Rodney Mullen created street skating when we all know Mark is the one who adapted his freestyle tricks to the streets.

[@ozarka7554]

1965??

[@jackquillen9120]

Max Zavala I mean Rodney created flat Ollie, kick flip, and 3 flip. You can say he’s more of a free style street skater but he created the 3 main Street tricks.

[@MitsuoRLCoach]

yeah that threw me off, i was like bruh?

[@QS6K]

Ay man, look at Koston man, so inspirational...

[@ezrarowland4432]

Just smacked my head trying to drop in. I love this channel btw

[@BrandonHanson]

Thanks for doing this documentary. Always wonderful to see legends and remember their golden years. A true icon and a blast to play in the Tony Hawk Games to unlock his videos in the games.

[@aaronchiu4406]

@Eugene Henderson in his latest video he said “A-RILLIAN GIRRARD”

[@einnorw]

he's was my favorite skater growing up. crail tap was super cool, I love watching their little webisodes. lakai fully flared was a game-changer

[@mamba4817]

So was Menikmati and Yeah Right. Menikmati was the best video for a long while. Still one the best. Legendary line up, great cinematic value, iconic tricks

[@einnorw]

@@mamba4817 that was way before my time so i didnt appreciate it much back then but i still agree!

[@seanpoore500]

This is Legendary content. Man I miss those days. Skateboarding was a way of life where I come from. It brought us together as a community. And you don’t see that type of comradery anymore in the communities. Definitely from a much simpler time. Thanks for all the content you created koston. Much respect✊

[@darkstar19]

Love this channel bro. You're a skating treasure creating these mini docs. Keep up the good work.

[@ruffiankick]

Eric Koston was the first dude I've ever seen skate in a Lakers jersey & shorts with some basketball shoes on. 😂 g shit. Plus he's from my hometown! Peace from San Bernardino! 🙌🏿

[@jimjam8949]

Such a natural skater. Makes it look easy. Could watch him skate all day.

[@yoellanderos3147]

honestly these types of vids are my favorite cuz i like to game or just chill and hear everything abt these skaters and i’ve been waiting on u to make a vid on eric tbh :)

[@rosecity_chris]

Yeah Right! Still one of my favorite videos ever, and the koston 1s still one of my favorite shoes.

[@mtnmanofcolorado]

Eric koston just seems like a genuinely nice guy

[@divinesithole5791]

You didn’t mention how he started his own company the berics with Kosten and Steve Berra

[@DARRENTINOnz]

Kosten lol

[@cooperwhyte5178]

DARRENTINOnz I love the berrics

[@bufordclemente8375]

One of the best natural skateboarders ever 🐐

[@wut0.o]

His horrible mongo pushing always got me 🤣

[@lustforlow-end6022]

Back in the day lots of people pushed mongo when skating switch, it always looks silly though. My buddy pushes mongo just to skate regular though.

[@yert8527]

YEAH RIGHT IS THE BEST SKATE VIDEO EVER

[@thachubbmonster9013]

I couldn’t agree more

[@onepunch5907]

Hated how they added the new soundtrack after the infringement issues.

[@Slappaccino]

[@punaforager]

When his part in the hstreet video came out, it was next level street skating to DJ quik I watched over and over. I couldn’t believe he was so good on street and could do a vert ramp 540 too.

[@lukeatstuff6462]

Koston is my favorite skater

[@kenvetro742]

GOAT - Cole and Koston, 2nd place goes to guy and caroll, 3rd place LADD and P-Rod

[@mamba4817]

Daewon somewhere in there. Joslin made his way in. Koston and P Rod where MJ and Kobe for me

[@stoneblz]

12:56 koston left dude hangin, i felt that

[@davidiniguez1930]

Yo hearing he grew up in San Bernadino is amazing. Inland Empire baby!!

[@letsgetit90]

The yeah right skate video was so fucking cool growing up

[@mamba4817]

Menikmati too

[@nickgeurtsen]

This is basically you just recutting and talking over Koston's Epicly Later'd...

[@Sarvets]

I was gonna post the same thing lol. This vid even mimics the same time progression and everything. This is henious. Mispronouncing both el gato and marianos names in the vid lol DAMN

[@dbsuper2928]

Let em know 👌

[@gioespino3371]

Bruh I was boutta say the same thing. Lazy ! Might as well go watch his epicly later’d instead

[@RemingtonTerritory]

Pro skater from San Francisco Bay Area Arron kyro i heard is going to rehab for his drug antics in his last video he appeared in and because he was on video when he was on drugs he is going to rehab I guess

[@salvadordelvalle5962]

love your videos, keep growing man

[@bevv4]

Eric Koston: Do a kickflip Skate Or Die! Skate Or Die: Shows kickflip garage video.

[@DudeEggs]

He was considered ONE of the best, but, I never heard anyone call him the best. Guy Mariano was always slightly ahead of him and still is to this day.

[@diegosanchez.r9297]

Thank you for sharing. Amazing. Art ♾️

[@Ollowayn]

Great video. Love the education and story telling.

[@rickylafleur9601]

It’s awesome ur channel is getting more attention.

That driveway quarterpipe belongs in the Smithsonian.

[@monstertimegaming7202]

These skate stories are awesome

[@smugglemuffins]

5:41 the “mini ramp” in that guy’s backyard

[@newthrash1221]

Smuggle Muffins He said he had a half-pipe and a mini ramp. That was the half-pipe.

[@3Starinvideot]

You should do one on the Phelper himself

[@carter7907]

I just binge watched the entire skate stories series and then this came out and it's 3 am

[@vunkarllvlogsgames823]

Got here just in time for another great video 😀

[@RyanYeti]

His 360 flip nose blunt down a handrail made me quit skateboarding 😂. He took things too far 🤣

[@mamba4817]

That shook the skateboard world at the time. Was the best trick anyone seen, done so steazy. The BS Noseblunt on Hubba to was insane. Dude's iconic

[@steve1582]

those shuvs are craazy

[@markwarne5049]

Eric has always been an incredible skater and he pushed mongo which is very rear and harder than pushing with back foot that only some pros do.

[@Sellbow]

He was my favorite skater not just because I loved his style but because I thought he was hilarious. He jokes around alot. Which to me is what skateboarding is good for. Goofin' off

[@mamba4817]

He always had a big iconic trick in his vids

[@cameronsnyder2241]

Ok what do I do I've been skating for a while like a good 2 /3 years well I had pulled all the nevers in my left foot I skate goofy so when im doing trick I pop with my left but in to scared cause I don't want to get hurt

[@michaelkemplen2178]

Ollie? Can you ollie? KickFlip is exactly the same!!!! just move your foot a little to line up with bolts. NOTHING DIFFERENT!!! Love your channel

[@gijsmeilink]

Love skate stories

[@peruperu-jj8zs]

Oh the famous “Guy Marino” lol

[@climbtime7998]

Dude I love the skate stories

[@carlosgrajeda1986]

I was originally excited when this video came up on my feed, I was expecting a video highlighting Koston’s video parts or specific tricks from those videos, making an argument for why Koston is the King of Skate Videos as the title says. I normally don’t comment on KZbin videos, but I could only make it a few minutes into it, this felt too much like it was literally just stealing the Epicly Later’d episodes with a little bit of commentary added.

[@DARRENTINOnz]

Yup, no mention of his b/s noseblunt at hubba either

[@mamba4817]

​@@DARRENTINOnzOne the most iconic tricks

[@longobardilounge8238]

Next stop is H street .... H street is next. Lol. The SD Trolley!! I grew up in Chula Vista

[@coldshibe4161]

eric really be rockin the FA nakel deck

[@Bonesph]

He's probably the best but I never really thought him to be my favorite.

[@fatfurie]

i love in skating how so many people say "he was THE best at the time" about so many different people.

[@mamba4817]

Koston had most saying that about him

[@mikel888666]

Is it just me or did you leave out how he started numbers recently? And I think he has a couple clips up skating for numbers too. Idk if I just missed it but thought it was worth mentioning

[@c1dtl39]

A quick suggestion, balance out the volume of commentaries. Your narrating is louder than the interview clips. Found myself constantly adjusting the volume

[@saxenas]

it's sick how skateboarding became legitimized over time; it didn't die a premature death or be some kind of short term thing. It grew and grew and kept growing and evolving and now it's legit worldwide.

[@santiagotorres3755]

I just want to watch but I have to work

[@Kaskut]

Once you said born in 65 I was done. Cmon man.

[@rezwarlord4155]

Next skate story's should be Daewon Song

[@anjel1433]

You gotta do a skate story on Mark Gonzales

6:00 is a cymatics sample

If a full vid of you skating doesn't get as many views do a few minutes of highlights of you skating at the end of your normal you post

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

This.

[@TheJessejenkins]

You should do a video on everyone from the Tony hawk's Pro skater series!

[@ss009]

Uh.. 1 hour ago i was in the bathroom waiting for a skater to stop doing tre flips.

[@bernardovidigal1306]

6:44 do you need to participate in camps to be pro or can you became one with video parts and stuff?

He was the best in that too.

[@debomb721]

Also I agree, this is just a rehash of the epically later

[@allin7660]

Correction you aged him 10years. Eric Koston (born April 29, 1975)

[@thisismyname2591]

wtf dude? rodney mullen didn't create street skating. it was a mix of many but i would say mark gonzales and natas really brought it to the world

[@fableflows33]

freaking cooooll

[@gamer1ready329]

Eric koston one of the best to do it

[@mamba4817]

The best.
