In his first year of Grand Prix racing, Marc "The Mantis" Purslow is driven
to ride. While his racing career with has just begun, he is no stranger
to physically and mentally challenging sports.
After purchasing his first
skateboard at the age of 13, Marc became a shop sponsored rider at age 15.
Riding with some of the best skateboarders in the nation on the streets
of Boston on a daily basis, Marc quickly learned to continually push himself
to the next level. After moving to Columbus Ohio, Marc continued to take
his riding to the limit, continuously challenging himself to ride faster,
and to go bigger.
Marc's "Hammers only" style of skateboarding has provided him with a self confidence and drive which borders on obsessive, allowing him to meet difficult challenges head-on. For these reasons, Marc is no stranger to the speed, skill, and mental strength required to be a top racer. Marc has set high goals for himself in the season to come, and if his skateboarding career is any indication, he will meet and exceed them.
