Skateboarding and more ….
When he’s not heading up operations for Dreamland Skateparks, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Mark Scott, is more than likely shredding it up. Case in point, Mark mid-gray slide during the Pier Park stop of the 2009 Oregon Bifecta. Check out more pics of Mark along with some recent Thrasher video coverage after the turn.
Congratulations Mark!
Begin broadcast. For immediate release, spanning all skate frequencies: Lifeblood Skateboards Welcomes Mark “Red Scott To Its Team. Begin message:
What more needs be said about a rugged and no frills type of human that lives and breathes skateboarding? Well, despite his steadfast love of rolling on a wooden stuntwood and creating the world renowned Burnside Skatepark along with others over 20 years ago, Red continues to design and build some of the best skateparks in the world. Sure, he’s gnar, he’s hesh or whatever label you might want to put upon him, but most importantly, Red is a lifer and he’s dedicated to skateboarding.
Check out Red shredding Burnside on a recent Sunday afternoon after the turn.
