Mark Gator Rogowski was one of the best vert skateboarders in the 80′s. Brad Dorfman of Vision Skateboards saw this and marketed the hell out of him. He was wearing all sorts of Vision Streetwear stuff and and was living the lifestyle of a rockstar. He was a madman on the vertramp as scene in the video clip below. He got rich quick and had everything and then vert skateboarding became unpopular and the money started to disappear. What happened next well Gator found religion but that didn’t help him out to much. When his girlfriend left him he snapped and ended up raping and killing one of her friends and dumped it in the desert.
He later confessed to the murder and is now serving 31 years to life in prison. Well here is a look back when Gator was on the top of the world and kicking ass on the vert ramp

good clip of him.he had a better style and technique then tony and christian i rekon
better style than Hosoi?? U must be joking! Mofo (famous Thrasher/skating photographer of the 80′s) described it better as Hosoi was the high flying eagle with style, Gator was more like a rugged “anvil” crashing down on the ramp.
Hosoi , Cab , mountain were better for sure. I was never a fan of Gator’s style I think Tony Mag was a lot better too.
tony mag – butt jacker style whys lance better than gator? come on
