Damn! Dude is sick. Love that he did a classic Mariano one on the LA bank to bench - long greasy hair and all.

Holy fuck that was outstanding, both trick- and stylewise. Yes, he should be famous!

That caught me off guard, super good! Fs Half Cab Kickflip into the bank and Bs 180 Kickflip over the hip, both the hard way, stood out to me most.

for every 100 bullshit threads like this, there is one thread that blows my fucking mind.

that dude is sick and i will be watching that all week.   All killer zero filler, honestly too much good stuff to point out.  the gif above and the switch fs flip over the hip were personal favs.

Bs 180 5050 fs half cab into 5-0 was insane.

I opened this thread with major scepticism and scoffed at the claim.

This guy is the best skateboarder in Texas.

Wow so much power in his skating while also making certain tricks look so easy.  He could very well be the best skateboarder in Texas after watching this.

Everything everybody already said. This guy should be on legit sponsors yesterday.

Sounds like a Mountain Goats song, a good one.

good skating, good filming too. I once overheard a little league coach in a dinner outside San Antonio tell one of the kids on his baseball team that he had a "Man ass". "You got a Man ass, Bobby." I looked and it was true. This guy also has a Man ass, which makes me think maybe it's a Texas thing?

you have been reported...

yes mark is the best and, yes he should be famous. favorite tricks not yet mentioned that should also be made into gifs were the fakie tail alley oop 270 at third and army and the curb drop fakie manny fakie flip up. also both alley oop bs flips were exquisite. the whole damn thing was a treat and i'm stoked to finally see a part from him that fully captures his talent/well-roundedness.

Just rewatched, the most amazing thing that struck me this time was the sw wallride over the little barrier and then straight back down to regs... I want to say to fakie but it's switch. Anyway, crazy ass trick and he made it look great too! Hope to see more from him very soon.

Yup. This was amazing and had never heard of him before.

What’s up with the kids in Texas? Always some underground guys who rip and never get the recognition they’d deserve. Keegan, a bunch of those guys out of capt johns crew, Ryan Holloway, David Langston. Might be fucking the names up, but hose are just a few that come to mind.

A name I haven't heard mentioned in a long time. Just watched one of his parts the other day. He ruled. Wasn't he fully on Krooked for less than a year?

stoked you recognize this. i will say that texas is somewhat of a black hole, at least for talented skateboarders. especially dfw. can't forget jeremy holmes.

Post by: baby dick on February 13, 2018, 03:44:49 PM
thx guys. He and Keegan Mccutchen are definitely the best in Texas. I dont know either of them personally but I think they rip. Texas does sort of seem like a blackhole, but hopefully that changes soon with all the new kids coming up.

Mark's instagram is @lurkcentral if anyone wants to follow. he posts constant shredding. Someone at Baker needs to contact this guy.

those over the hip backside flips the hard way and the filming that gap 360 flip just at the beginning really got me. very sick overall. fakie tail pretzel at 3rd and army and bs 180 5050 to regular fs 5-0 .....too many cool ride aways, and little stylish things in there to even mention.

cool that it was without music too....just came from the louie lopez raw cut straight to this- real nice
