It’s true: Eric Koston—the man, the myth, the legend—is indeed the co-founder of The Berrics (aka The Most Magical Place On Earth). And over the past three decades, Koston has been ahead of the curve in skateboarding, racking up the accolades and snatching the top honors, with his many X Games golds among them. This morning, the X Games Youtube channel unearthed the 2001 Street Skateboard contest, which took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, showing Kosto n in rare form. The picture quality may not be great, but the skating quality in top notch. Sure, we see him at the office everyday, but it’s still amazing to see this old footage of Frosty! Watch the edit, above!

Take a look back at some of Koston’s many, many classic moments (below). If you’re interested in his 14-year history of Berrics videos, please click here.
