Skating when I was younger and dorking around and just filming anythign with my friends was always the greatest times, still wish we did that, now its about all the new footy, best skating, high expectations, and competition.
0:26 - 0:29 is at my high school. Sinclair Secondary in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. Yesterday they finally capped the ledges. All these years later. That's the most famous spot in my town. Me and the boys from the local park are gonna go late at night and pop em off and make it skateable again. THUMBS UP for sticking it to the man and never admitting defeat!
Skateboarding is hands down my favorite sport that I don't pay attention to or do..I had all the THPS games when I was younger..I miss them days so much.
I'm 14. Lol it's about time someone said something. I skate for the fun. But 3 months ago, I broke my ankle. But for some odd reason, even though I couldn't skate and will never go pro, I realized I did it for the fun. So now when I look at my board, I say, " Today's gunna rock." Thanks to that momentum, I'm gladly trying to hit it up with a music career. And still have my board beside me. So to all the kids reading this comment. Be happy with it. Cuz' if you do it for money, you'll hurt. BAD.
eric koston's gotta be my all time favorite skater. he doesn't seem like an asshole like Cole, he isn't serious like most other skaters. he has that humor factor that i love
dude, I remember back when I started skating in 1999 or 2000... we didn't skate to be good, I didn't even know you could get good...we just had fun building ramps and shit in our front yard having fun. I gave skate lessons to a kid that said he wanted to get good and be a pro and enter contests, he ended up quitting after two weeks because he wasn't getting instant results...shit just wasn't like that back then.
lmao.... eric will always be my favorite skater. Always has been since the mid 90's. This video part never gets old. The song choice while not an amazing song or anything, really adds to eric's goofy character. And the end..... "FUCK YEW", that's just perfect.
1:21 that line with the manny pads, that's in the parking lot of Bancroft middle school, where they held King of LA, and where, I think it was Danny Gonzalez, did his tre flip tailgrab footplant. Oh, and I go to that school too.
Kost was sick here back in the party and skate days, however now whenever u see kost the partying has decreased but his skating is even more stylish....plus his clothing style has changed a lot as well..
wow that's amazing man his epicly laterd was really inspiring as well like it taught me to have fun with my skating and just do what i want to do like eric man he is a great skateboarding role model
yeah man. two weeks? i remember learning how to skate for the first 4 months with a board that had the nose completely broken off. i had to learn how to ollie without a nose and i had fun every single minute of those 4 months til christmas came ha ha. to me it was an honor to be a part of a brotherhood or what have you.. when i saw a kid with ripped shoes on the sides you knew you had a new homie.. now its so different and aggressive..
is the line in the park when he lands everything sketchy a pun on jeremy wray's famous second hand smoke opening line ? notice the dude doing freestyle on the grass during 2:07 (there is a quick shot of rodney mullen at the beginning of jeremy wray's line in second hand smoke too go check it out)
wow so many stupid comments on here saying how sketchy this part is. do u guys not realize this video is all throwaway/fun for him? this is a jokes video, he was doing tricks for fun, not trying to be all serious koston is dope.
Too good. Not too many skaters can make me feel like skateboarding is still fun for them but this is definitely one of them. Can see the Gonz's influence here - not necessarily in specific skating style or tricks, but definitely his fun, creative vibe. Long live creativity and style in skateboarding!!! They keep skateboarding from turning into gymnastics or figure skating - where everybody is expected to do the same tricks and gets judged on technique alone. I love skateboarding. The end.
“and everything is pencil perfect...” that shit has me laughing every time I see this video Lol
2:00 to 2:26 : it's the cleanest line I've ever seen
4:20
The sketchy line was hilarious. his style used to be so insane.
90 degree angle turn? No fucking problem I'll just 360 flip into it. My fucking god I love this.

love this part. koston is king. he's at the point in skateboarding where its completely effortless, he can literally do anything on a board.
I love Chomp On This. It's basically a bunch of guys fucking around with some skating in it. It shows them just having fun. Great video.

exactly. Koston does it for fun and the skill came naturally cause he skated so much. That's why he has so many sponsors.
this part makes me love skateboarding
all about fucking around and hanging with the homies
thanks for this part koston
Koston is my favorite skater cuz he reminds me why we should all go out, get a board, and go skate-because it's fun.
I don't understand how 109 people could dislike this.Obviously people that don't know much about skating.
Greatest video part of all time no question. Words don't describe how much I love this part
I love how Koston dicking around is better than lots of us trying our hardest!
Eric is my favorite skater. His tricks are soooooo clean.
very good video this "chomp on this"
love the jamie and eric parts along with funny cameraman skate footage
For anyone looking for the song at 3:45 its called Step by Step by Nice & Smooth.
I choked, cried and almost died watching that. Funniest thing I have ever seen.
Well the Fisheye lens is wide, and big, so its meant to catch all of the action so you dont miss anything.
the line two minutes in is the most epic in skateboarding history
that middle section was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.
eric koston's gotta be my all time favorite skater. he doesn't seem like an asshole like Cole, he isn't serious like most other skaters. he has that humor factor that i love
great video, love Koston, He's always ripped..Lokks like there having mad fun, just the way it should be!

chomp on this was the sickest video when i was growing up...and this part was my favorite fer sure froston rips!
i laughed so hard the first time i saw that, Koston's comedy at its best.
2:15 hahahahaha the sketchiest, and best, line ever
who is it with the GG Allin gear?
i havent seen this footage in like 3 years that was fun to watch
lmao.... eric will always be my favorite skater. Always has been since the mid 90's. This video part never gets old. The song choice while not an amazing song or anything, really adds to eric's goofy character. And the end..... "FUCK YEW", that's just perfect.
wow what a creative way to end an awesome part!
The song is "Bite it" by GG Allin
1:21 that line with the manny pads, that's in the parking lot of Bancroft middle school, where they held King of LA, and where, I think it was Danny Gonzalez, did his tre flip tailgrab footplant.
Oh, and I go to that school too.
Kost was sick here back in the party and skate days, however now whenever u see kost the partying has decreased but his skating is even more stylish....plus his clothing style has changed a lot as well..
that guy at the end really knows what he is doing inspecting that board with a pencil
i still have this vhs!
2:05 - 2:26 LMFAO!!! He played off every one of those tricks haha sketchiest line ever!!!

Couldn't possibly have said it better myself, Homie!
Eric Koston: the best Streetskater ever
that line where he missed all the tricks was so funny:))
This is fantastic nuff said.
Only a legend can land a switch kick down stairs then chug a beer just to show hes a BOSS!!
that's funny how everything he does now has to be so perfect and technical and before it was just like for fun!
i agree, ride the sky is my fave part.
and thanks for not going into a rage like most people on here would do =).

Masterpiece in a napkin

even when hes screwing around hes sick..... one of the smoothest skaters ever..
Man Eric Koston is Hilarious! One of my favorite skaters tough.
I am a member of kostianity, the religion of Eric koston. I just thought about it, a real god.
Nike SB tour at M.i.A skatepark was sick!
so entertaining to watch in every way. EVERY way.(possibly)
Eric Koston is the Michael Jordan of skateboarding especially with his K2,K3,K4 shoes model :D
wow so many stupid comments on here saying how sketchy this part is. do u guys not realize this video is all throwaway/fun for him? this is a jokes video, he was doing tricks for fun, not trying to be all serious
koston is dope.
I like Koston's flow. Liquid tech.
if you are talking about the espn thing, no they actually said espn while talking
he was ahead of his time...
he aint like god, no one is like god
but he is a legend, thats for sure
him, bam, mike v. and the muska r the faces of skateboarding
i love this christian music
