Marco 2015 Scraps

I guess these are “scraps” from Marco, but if they had a different title I definitely would’ve thought otherwise. W-Base just upped this edit and it’s filled with some really great riding. Tons of taps and spins and tricks that take a ton of precision, plus a smooth buttery style equals Marco’s riding. So smooth I could watch it all day. If these are scraps, I’m dying to see what his real footage is looking like these days. Don’t miss this one.

E15 Scrap Edit

This was fucking sick. Yuya, Keybow, Bambi, and Marco out of Japan shred in this little scrap edit. Lots of energy and aggression in this one, sick to see these dudes pushing themselves, even if these are scrap clips. Marco’s clip at 2:02 was so sick, definitely the last thing I was expecting. Don† miss this one!
