I am of course referring to the greatest man to ever grace the 'sport' of bmx. If you don't know who i'm talking about, you are either naive or too young.
He would have to be one of the most badass and original dudes around. I could only find a few shots of him, although the footage ive seen from old props is hilarious.
Most notably his props 16 interview and his antics at the start of megatour 4.
Although, i did find this quote from here detailing a tale of the Gonz;
'At the MTV Sports and Music Festival in 1999, Gonz completely lost his mind. He took a bus for three days to get to Memphis, TN, from Phoenix, Arizona, for the event, and he brought one very important item with him: a chicken suit. The night before the event began, MTV held a riders' meeting where Gonz got on the microphone and said, "I have a few social issues I want to talk about," and then he rambled on about Chicken McNuggets for ten minutes. Later he went to the MTV Real World house, hung out in the hot tub while still in the chicken suit, and then he ended the night by running down the street naked. The story doesn't end there. The next day Gonz went to the motocross jumps, got naked on top of a landing, and then got punched by MXer Mike Jones. Gonz got banned from the rest of the event, but he still managed to get beat up by Danny Way before the weekend was over.'
