ver since I was a little kid in pinecliff I’d get off the bus to hear in the distance of a 2 stroke ripping at titisis pit. I would get home throw my backpack in the house I ride up there to watch you throw down laps all afternoon. I could easily say you were the one who got me into dirtbikes! Gonna miss you brotha. RIP Marky

Very sad. Spent a lot of weekends locked in battle with Mark. I miss those days. We had lots of fun racing, or when he would pick up a stray snapping turtle and surprise you with it when he went to take his bike out of the truck at open practice!

We won’t forget you Mark!

Rip #729
