Canvas: The Skateboarding Documentary (1998) Guy Mariano, Heath Kirchart, etc.

Never heard of or seen this until they brought it up on Reynolds' Stop& Chat episode. Worth the watch just for cornrow era Guy.

That was really cool to watch. Mullen, Mike York, Jeron Wilson, Reynolds etc. what a mad crew. I started skating a few years later but that slice of life really brought back a lot of memories. Gershon didn't even look like he was trying at those demos and he killed it.

I remember when this came out and thinking damn that’s a random crew for a Globe video being that most of those peeps didn’t ride for them.  Also not being able to find it anywhere.  Decent watch all these years later.

Fun video watch. Heavy lineup, footage is 50% Gershon destroying it. Some gems from everybody though. That Heath bs flip. Rodney talking like he's a 90 years old wise man when he's maybe 35.

It was on that trip that Gershon fell out with Reynolds which led to the first punching the latter.

[Noble Experiment]

I remember watching this way back in the day. Gershon was crazy; easily the one who crushed it the hardest on that tour. He definitely doesn’t get his due credit for how insane he was at skating.

Also, I remember reading somewhere that that girl who got her tits signed by all of them was just a teenager at the time; crazy that they left that in there.

Also, was this really the tour that the Reynolds/Gershon fallout happened? I thought it happened later on, like when Reynolds had already started Baker, but maybe I was mistaken.

I find it hilarious that Rodney is 31/32 in this vid constantly talking about how much of an old man he is.

Such a random video that left me very confused as a 13 year old. I didn't have many videos when I bought this and all I wanted to see was street skating, not people talking. I would watch it without having a clue about anyone except maybe Mullen and Reynolds. I'm pretty sure they don't even interview Guy. All I can remember him saying is 'where da bud at fool?'. For a second I thought he was some random guy they picked up along the way. He bangs out a switch 360 flip on a bank in between Gershon skating everything else.

Rodney talking made me think he was older than my grandfather at the time.

Gershon seemed like the most serious dude on the trip.

I'm surprised Mike York never became my favourite skater after this. He's pretty funny throughout the whole thing.

You could say that Globe Canvas made me depressed for years @Bronson

[GuessAgain?]

eishhh that bit where they sign that young girls boobs is definitely not right. They got the oldest guy on the trip to talk on camera about it, then Heath gets in the car with her and shuts the door... Then they actually put the clip of her showing her signed boobs in the final edit.

If only Rodney was a bit older and wiser, maybe he could've sensed it was off

I saw this  once years ago. I think on fuel tv. Looking forward to watching it.

In one of the old Big Brother videos Rob G was messing around with 16 year olds overseas, but maybe the age of consent is different over there.  Kenny Reed was known to be taking part in those liberties as well. Either way that’s strange and I’m absolutely sure that was pretty rampant amongst pro skaters and it probably still is.

Kenny Reed finally outed as an asian sex tourist and not the mysteryman "braindead traveler" weve been lead to believe the past 2 decades. 2021 is gonna be some shit fellas.
