From his Powell Peralta days as the runt of the LA Boys litter, to under Mark Gonzales' wing in the seminal Video Days, of course the intro to Tim and Henry's Pack of Lies with one of the first switch 360 flips captured on video, his Virtual Reality guest tricks, glimpses we got in Goldfish, the street skating standard obliterating part in Mouse, and on and on. These clips belong in the Smithsonian.

As always, these video compilations are curated and edited by Jan Maarten Sneep. Get stuck in below.

No one's had a career like this. From child star, to the groundbreaking, influential street pro of the 90s, to disappearing from the skate industry for several years, to the most mind-blowing comeback of all time in Lakai's Fully Flared—Guy's life has been truly exceptional. And he's still killing it today in his late 40s! Just stay on top of his Instagram stories and you'll see insane tricks and secret spots on a weekly basis. Truly the best street skater there's ever been. Salute!
