MARK WETZEL RETROSPECTIVE BY TRAFFIC SKATEBOARDS – THEORIES OF ATLANTIS

Starting from 2005 with his breakout part in “Via”, to his incredible part in 2014’s “Static IV”, to “Look Left” in 2019, and “Third Shift” in 2020. Mark is one of the most truly creative street skaters on the east coast, always finding spots where nobody else could and we are mega fans of the shark. – Brought to you by Theories of Atlantis
