Always thought this guy had great style. Still skating?
I'm going to say yes. He's got a profile on the Berrics and is doing photography:

Mark, I never met you, and always went on my opinions of the other street skaters who came up back in the day that you ran the Blue Ramp at Melvins Skate Time :-) when street started to kill vert, but I'm glad you exist Mr Roach, you drove peoples lives in ways that you probably didn't know or care about, and thanks
puppies (O_~)
There was some kid called Crum too but whatevs :-)
Crum post soon.
I first met Mark when he moved from Louisiana (I think) to TX. He was nice and invited me and some buddies to his backyard ramp. I'll never forget it. His abilities on the board were way above anything I could ever dream of. He was a super huge influence on my continued skating. I hope he's doing well.
Rode for G&S as well.
