FA X Gonz LA Board Release

The line was out the door.

Nice and calm prior to Mark showing up.

There he is!

You can never get enough Mark Gonzales.

If you got one of the blankets, you’re stoked.

Line up people.

Long before I met Mark, my crew called him “Gonz."

I had never been to an FA Store prior. The LA location is right in the mix in Hollywood.

Can’t go wrong with asking Mark to sign a “Sweatpants” board.

You could even get a photo of Mark holding your board if you so desired!

Keep signing, Mark.

AVE hung out all night.

AVE was the FA Store version of the Walmart Greeter. Dude said hi to everyone that walked in.

Kevin from Look Back Library brought every cover MG has ever had for him to sign.

Can you draw me something cool, please? Yep.

About an hour in, it felt like the line was growing.

Does it get any cooler than these two?

Mark is here to make the kids happy.

If it’s got Mark’s name on it, it’s not a reissue. Could be a knock off, could be an OG.

Those copers tho!?

Dill was the first one there and the last one to leave.

Everyone else came to see Mark. Jereme came to see me!

I am not worthy of being in this photo.

You know that I had to fan out. I’ve admired from far forever, finally got to meet and hang out with AVE.

Simply put, the best person in skateboarding. Prove me wrong.

“Hey Taylor, can you please shoot a portrait of me, too?"

This is the appropriate time to use the word “legend."

MF stoic badass.
