00:00Mark!

00:02What?

00:03Where are you going?

00:04Skating.

00:05Did you clean your room and make your bed?

00:07Sure, yeah, sure.

00:13When I first met him, he must have been, like, 14,

00:16and he was skating pro.

00:17He was really, really serious about it

00:19because you could see it in his eyes.

00:20Kids loved him.

00:21They would just run past me and go to Gator.

00:24Gator, Gator, Gator all the way, yeah!

00:27He was always, like, you know, top three, top five.

00:29One of the best all-around skateboarders ever in the history.

00:31The mid-'80s was the genesis of skateboarding

00:34being marketed to the mainstream of American youth.

00:37One of the reasons I started Vision Streetwear

00:39was because of Mark.

00:40I think I need to be interviewed not only

00:42because I'm one of the most elite skaters on the circuit,

00:45but also because I'm one of the most blatant

00:47and outspoken jerks in the industry.

00:49We created a tour to raise the level of awareness.

00:52Gator was clearly a star of the tour.

00:54We created a huge press image for him.

00:56He took it upon himself to get good,

00:58but the entire business and marketing

01:00to the point where he got very good at it.

01:02Maybe too good for his own benefit.

01:04Fame is one of the worst drugs of all.

01:07They recognized him as a skate stud.

01:10You could have easily forgot where he came from

01:12and you're making money and a lot of money, you know?

01:15Street skating became the hopped in the news.

01:17Vert skating was completely out.

01:19It was a moment in time that was starting to be over.

01:24When Gator was drinking, anything could happen.

01:27What are you laughing at?

01:29What do you do with yourself when your fame's gone?

01:32I thought that Mark and I would get married

01:34and live happily ever after.

01:37You!

01:39You and I!

01:41It's all bad.

01:43I just hope that he realizes how he affects everyone's life.

01:55This is a Baryshnikov ballet of skateboarding.

01:58I apologize for making a mess,

02:01for going out of control,

02:03and for bringing a bad name for skateboarding.

02:06How do you cling to that charge?

02:08It kills me.

02:09Well, there is one thing to say...

02:12No, it's so popular.

02:14It still carries your reaction to the otherBOX

02:16Everything right now is...

02:19I'm off, you know?

02:20Perfect.

02:22Even though?

02:23My friend and sister will not releaseέλ fluid of him.

02:25He does not release selfie.

02:27He says he leaves spécialiciency.

02:28The mystery of my brother.
