It would be cool if Koston rode for a smaller random brand, it's not like he needs the check.  Or he could just go back to Girl and do the whole "welcome home" thing.

[close]

Was it just a joke that Koston does Uber driving? If it’s true that he does, then he probably isn’t as rich as people might think.

[close]

It’s definitely a joke. Dude is absolutely loaded.

Made me think back to his old MTV Cribs appearance, which has been scrubbed from YouTube but lives on on DailyMotion.

Man, holy shit what a crazy spot to have at that age. Assuming he played his cards right he's gotta be sitting on some serious money by this point.

[close]

I didn't watch it all but that doesn't look like his gaff

Can't be ha

Looks like a rental they dressed up for the show

[close]

Why do you say that? I mean, he might have been renting the house (who knows?), but I don’t doubt that he lived there at the time. Koston was probably the biggest pro of that kind during the absolute peak of skateboarding’s big-payday period, and seems to be one of the savvier pro skaters. Why wouldn’t he buy a house with his giant, six-figure checks?

[close]

Cribs was faked a lot, just rental houses to make it seem like they lived in huge mansions. Koston was definitely making good money whenever that was filmed but a house like that built into the mountain in the hills would be insanely expensive also that "skate park" at the end isn't very convincing.

[close]

While the house looks suspiciously empty I think it probably is his. If Koston was smart he probably had an advisor who told him money doesn't last forever and to invest and buy property etc. Wasn't he at some point neighbours with Shaq?

[close]

Don't forget that this episode came out during the height of the Tony Hawk games, which Koston was a character in the majority of. Combine those checks with being one of the biggest names in skateboarding and I'm sure he was more than well off at the time.

if its the house with the pillars in the front, I'm pretty sure he still lives there

[Seadramon]

Not to mention dude had 7 shoes with es - this was probably around the k6 era?

All were pretty solid sellers.

He upgraded around 2008. He was a top paid pro:

 He won every contest.
 
He had cover after cover and was on billboards in downtown LA.

Think of the fingerboards and tech decks and toys of himself in walmart

Girl, peak éS/eventual nike contracts, pro shoes, profit share in soft goods, movie cameos, hollywood friends, oakley

the top tier St. Archer payout (he invested 2 M so he got at least 4x the payout Mikey ‘The gentrification horse” Taylor, Villager, Supreme (yeah they pay him), zumiez, active endorsement, board sales and royalties, all the tony hawk games and royalties, all the EA skate games, boost mobile commercials, movie cameos, 50% equity in the berrics,

clearly he has returns on high yield investments.

He’s been paid for like 35+ years and he was a street league, commercially known, on tour with Tony Hawk and Mike V sponsored by Jeep LOL “Super Pro for the last 25 years…

So I’d say he’s keeping the lights on and keeping milk in the fridge between golfing in Dubai and teaching his kids to surf on the north shore of Oahu.

Koston on the Epstein flight logs confirmed

He does have ties to Scientology. The sea Corps does have a branch in Florida. He’s won Tampa like 2 or 3 times. Paul Hart and Josiah Gatlyn both came from Florida and seem tight with the Berrics. Its all starting to make sense now.

Paul Hart could be the key to unlocking it all gentlemen

To re-rail this thread somewhat: to me the real question is if the part will come out in time to steal SOTY from Suciu.

Yes that would be interesting.
Very hard to not give to Guy then, the sentimental favourite who is an absolute GOAT anyway.

i was reffering to him saying hes about to be able to steal soty title wich he can't. and if he somehow did the exact same you would praise him much more than you did mark because he reads books.

every contender this year has a point in his skating whoever gets it gets it but this was a very good year.

let’s not forget that the very same guy put out the best video part ever in 1996.. took a 10 year hiatus from pro skating to smoke crack and do god knows what else, comes back a decade later and films the second to last double part in one of the biggest skate videos of all time (and definitely the most heavily anticipated). he’s one of the last people i would doubt or use the word “can’t” about in terms of skateboarding abilities.

This. Been waiting for it. Was so sure he was gonna drop a part and get the AVE treatment. I still hope, the year isnt over!

[nonickname]

A 2-bolts, jorts wearing, mall grabbing legend (its on-line somewhere and I love him for it) is still skating after some heavy 'ish he's fought through -  speak no ill on this - "naw what I'm saying?"

Agreed, although, I don't think he took a 10 year hiatus. I believe it was closer to 5. I think he fell off the deep end around the time of the Justin Pierce shit (he still had the last couple tricks in the Girl Montage in Chocolate Tour in 1999), and I think he was back filming by like 2004/2005. An incredible comeback nevertheless. I could be wrong, but I think his trick in Really Sorry was right around the start of his comeback.

No one over 40 heard of the term "mall grabbing" or had any negative association with carrying a skateboard by its trucks until we were well into adulthood

[Bristol_Palin]

I started skating after mouse came out (it came out in 1996) and I wasn't given any hand me down videos or anything with Guy in them- so my introduction to Guy was Yeah Right 2003 and all he does is a big flip over a trash can and his hair is super long. I initially thought he was a made up character because I never heard of a person name Guy before and I thought it was like an inside joke. Later seeing Almost round 3 with William Patrick made me think it even more.

I was a pretty skeptic little kid. I remember the first time I heard about Tony Hawk I thought it was bullshit. "You're telling me there's some guy who flies around in the air on his skateboard and his name is Tony Hawk? Get out of here."

[Tabletop]

Any sign of Guy’s video part?

Late to the game but Koston still lived at that house post-Cribs up until that Dyrdek video that's shared above.

Around the 0:20 mark, same front of the house

Koston made a shit-ton of money, but he was never paid out massively from the Tony Hawk games since he wasn't in the first one. Skaters in the first game made like 200k due to them getting money off total sales, Activision didn't make that mistake twice. From 2 on, I think the Skaters that weren't Tony Hawk got like a flat 5 to 10k. A nice check for just having your likeness used and maybe doing an hour or two of voiceover work, but Koston was one of the top pros in the industry at the time selling significant decks and shoes, plus whatever sponsors would throw him cash as one of the faces of skating. And, he never seemed crazy reckless with money and never piled out.
