New England. Home of The American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere, and the birthplace of our great nation. Despite the harsh winters, rough ground, and lack of skate parks it has produced some of the most talented skateboarders ever seen. Dedication, patience, and tough skin make up the majority of skateboarders in the North East and Mark Dodd is no exception. With the 4 seasons being harsh, unpredictable and sometimes cruel the act of skateboarding outside is not as easy as one would think. As soon as the snow thawed and the sun came out, Mark used that short period of time to get this project done. Hard working and Blue Collar to the bone, Mark embodies that tough spirit that New England is famous for. Mark represents what Matix, and New England is all about… Freedom, Diversity, and Hard Work –Dave Ashley Filmed and Edited by Mike Cirelli
