Profile: Huge Skateboarding addiction, to the extent that he suffers from sleep deprivation because he is thinking about skating. "My feet get hot, I can't sleep". A natural with a huge bag of tricks, old and new, you name it and he can do it all - switch too. Harlow local through and through, gets homesick if he spends more than 4 hours away from the Big Worms crew, can't really blame him though, if I had a ramp like the Harlow one i'd get homesick pretty quick too.
Although most of his photos are on handrails, Mark has some obscure shit down too, for example "breakaways" (frontside grind to frontside air). Not much of a drinker, give him a four pack and he'll be whiteying in the front garden before you know it. Good taste in music and comedy, with a real good sense fo humour. Mark is infact undoubtably one of the best skaters and nicest people you'll ever meet, but he is cursed by the need to faff about for at least 3 to 4 hours before leaving the house each day, rendering him useless to any potential employers. The word urgent means absolutely nothing at all to this guy! It's ok though because if he keeps on progressing the way he has been, his Pro Death Board will be out soon anyway, and his constant 3 hour lateness won't be such a problem. Very focused on skateboarding, won't let himself get distracted from learning new stuff every day by any trivial outside distractions, such as earning money or eating! As a result, Mark shreds any given terrain, and is an important member of the team - ditches, ramps, rails, blocks, it doesn't matter, some good shit is gonna happen. Hey Mark, thanx for representing.
