Mark Korte: Magma, Spanish + English Interview
If somebody can put USD where it deserves again that´s this guy. Back in the day when we were all flipping on Latimers new profile he was out there travelling with the All star team, settling up the original Stretch Crew and making this brand legendary. Now he´s back in rollerblading and probably has a harder mission. It´s an honor for us to present this interview with Mark Korte.
-Present yourself
Thanks, My name is Mark Korte – I am the USD Enforcer, an Army Reserve Solider, Father, Husband, Son and Powerslider
-Why did you leave and why are you back in rolling? Did you feel it was time to return?
Actually that is not far from the truth – when I left, I felt it was time for me to develop as a Sales and Brand Manager, some things in my life had changed, and I was looking for a new challenge, something that would be hard but fun, as I had been getting more and more involved with Golf as my hobby, I decided to go into the golf business and see how far I could go, the rest is history, as for coming back…that was a given really, I was always in touch with Matthias and we talked about me coming back and I was happy to come back as Powerslide is like a second home, and USD was a big part of my life for over 6 years, coming back gives me another challenge and I have the chance to lead a great team again and that is always where my talents lay.

Get ready bitches. It’s time to skate not toe roll curbs. Bye bye Oli Short, farmer, crack head broskow (maybe old broskow will return), anyone who was on heat, anyone who doesn’t drop hammers, and hopefully arlo.

“people are retarded”….. you are retarded, i think you chose the wrong sport (or however you want to call this). bye bye YOU asshole, it’s time to get rid of FUCKS like you with 0% of tolerance for variety.
December 1st, 2009 at 7:55 pm
bye bye creativity, bye bye tech, bye bye style?
lets just throw ourselves off buildings and become a bunch of Evel Knievels, we could even dress in one piece suits with sponsors plastered all over them.
shit lets jump through hoops of fire while we’re at it. maybe our professionals could stop doing contests and be hired by traveling circuses
dare devils, the new direction of our sport.
fuck ya.

^^^lol! Well, I’m interested to know Mark, are you bringing Feinberg and Rachard back on Pro status? Because I would like to see a new team section from either of them:)-
December 1st, 2009 at 9:09 pm
It’s a collaborative effort by all to give back to heads in the game that brought us to where we are now today.. Check the Conference Mag 2 to see what I have to say about it but it was a very important feeling of mine and the rest of the USD family to instill an All Star team and show our respects to the guys who built us to where we are and are still involved within this sport..
Korte handles business and backs the people who choose to handle their shit and be a family.. It’s all about following through with Korte. With his motivation you can all expect to see positive change in the industry.
USD Family back on top..

good shit mon… good shit… the toe rolls and shit are getting old… at least the french are doing some bomb ass tricks…. creativity is good, but not when your doing little dumb shit, time to stunt hard… now go practice your kickflips

what about this is interesting? why so much hype.. because he was around when rolling was cool and he’s going to bring it all back? we can’t think of anything better?

He’s not a real king, he’s a boy pretending to be a USD manager pretending to be a king. If he is a king he should show us his powers
