Pro skaters that are too cool or too jaded for demos never last long. Both Lakai and Emerica are stacked with legends who will skate anywhere, any time. Here are two epic tour vids from over a decade ago that both still stand on their own.

Jason Dill introduces this part and he makes a great point: if you're a certain age you'll know every second of this clip and every lyric in the song. Here's Doug in the 1988 Powell-Peralta video.

With a career spanning the early '90s 'til present day, it's safe to say there will never be another quite like Daewon. This part is just one of many "classic" offerings from one of skateboarding's all-time greats.

Jason changes up the "Classics" format to honor a man who changed the skateboarding game forever. This is one of the best things you'll ever watch. Three Gonz parts = three certified CLASSICS. Enjoy...
