#376 - Danny Gonzalez

Danny Gonzalez discusses moving from San Antonio to San Francisco to follow his dream of being a pro skateboarder, learning the hard way not to be the hometown hero, one wheel manuals, doing freestyle when he was younger, the kickflip melon down Wallenberg, being intimidated going on Globe tours with Rodney Gershon & Chet, quitting skating professionally after re-hurting his knee, getting back into skating & doing the upside down wallride, the new release of his Gas Mask Chapman deck and much more!
