Gushing – Guy Mariano

Epicly Later’d is dissecting the Lakai Fully Flaired video. I picked up on this segment that mostly concentrates on Guy Mariano over at Mumble. Lot’s of people think of different things when they hear his name, for me, I can’t get past the “High Guy” Garbage Pail Kids knockoff graphic. This section of video even has an interview with Stacy Peralta, as he was the “guy” who put Guy, Rudy Johnson, Gabriel Rodriguez and Paulo Diaz on Powell, their first major sponsor. It’s fascinating stuff that should appeal to older and newer skaters alike, and is really only incidental to the Lakai video. What strikes me is mutual respect and general lack of shit talking that usually accompanies the history tales from that era. You can watch the first part of the Guy Mariano focus after the jump. If you’re keeping track, it includes a lot of outtake footage that never made it into the old videos. If you really have some time to kill, watch the whole series up to now over at VBS.tv.
