The Randall thread got me thinking of Mark Kenney and how impressive he was on a board, so lets keep him in our thoughts and pay a little respect. If you have any vid or pics, post them up in his memory!! RIP Mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK9a4diF88g

I know I have put up this identical post in the past, but here goes. I remember at the Irvine Pro Tour I was sitting with my dad who is the biggest Murray fan there is. They announced Mark off the dock and I said "dad, watch this guy, he goes big & this is how I want to ride". Mark proceeded to shred, including a huge Switch Mobe into the flats. My dad was amazed. The day ended up going to Ruck somehow. Years later talking to one of the riders on tour I was telling him how I was at that stop and saw Mark ride. He stopped me mid sentence and said "Mark should of won that one, he destroyed everyone". Innov8, I think it's really cool to keep the mans memory alive. I never met Mark but he still inspires me. I was very sad when I told my dad that he had passed away. First thing he said "no, not the guy that went huge".

Here is one of Mark at the Gravity Games. He won Gold. This pic is a normal (no double up) W2W Swith HS Mobe. Pretty Huge! The pic is labelled as just Backroll Mobe but it is switch for him.

When I was at O-Town Glen and I had a talk about some of the brothers and sisters the sport has unfortunately lost. Mark passed away on my birthday, it's always a reminder of someone that inspired me in the sport I love.

BH I was at the irvine stop as well. It wasn't even close. I know Mark was not a big fan of rails, but at this stop, it was wake only and he absolutely killed it. I know Ruck won the title that year, so mabey there is a bias to the one on top. It does not matter where he finished, I am just glad today that I got to see him ride in person. Only time I saw Randall up close was at the Vans triple crown in Irvine, due to his hand being in a cast, I did not get to see him at his best.

Wow...Thats all I have to say. Ive been around this sport for a bit, and I'm embarrassed to say that I have never heard of him. Thats is some amazing skill there. I dont know what happened to him though, all I keep seeing is RIP's and it's kinda sad. I can only imagine what he'd be doing right now....

Kenney ripped, I know that Ferraro has said that he saw him stick a few 1080's. I never doubted that he hit those based on the way he spun. No telling what he would have accomplished.

That pic of Mark at the gravity games is sooooooo sick, all that chop and he still flys as big/if not bigger then anyone, thanks for sharing that pic I had never seen it. Its my pleasure to keep Marks name alive and let the new people of the sport enjoy his riding like we all had a chance to do, he was so ahead of his time!!
