Coconut Records, Mark Gonzales

ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS.Jason Swartzman Launched the band Phantom Planet in 1994 but then desided to pursue acting which soon took over his music scene, he appeared in Rushmore and Slackers to name but two.BUt music was never far from his mind and thank god he came back with his solo project Coconut Records.The video contains the amazing skateboarding and artistic skills of Mark "the pioneer of modern street skating" Gonzales. Gonzales has published a book called Broken Poems and in 2006 he was awarded the Legend Award by Transworld Skateboarding[2].

In 2007 he published a skateboarding video called Gnar Gnar that was shot with an old VHS camcorder and was limited to only 1000 VHS copies[3].

Most recently, Mark Gonzales was also featured in the music video, "West Coast" by Jason Schwartzman's band, Coconut Records. This was a skate video sequence originally filmed in 1998 at a German Museum, but was edited and synced for this music video with his permission.Ch ch check out his blazin skills b.
