i think stickler documentary and stoke represent the rise and fall of gator give u an interesting look at the character of mark anthony rogowski through the comment of those who know him . it be as objective a it could have be . it certainly do not glorify him a the demigod he seem to think he be during the peak of his career . i learn a lot from this movie about the skateboarding culture and how it affect the participant and the fan . there be a lot of hype give to gator ability and personality during the 80 . as talented a he may have be and i be sure there be other skater just a talented who be not be promote with the same enthusiasm . it be clearly gator reckless regard for his own well be that put him in the limelight in the first place . would stickler or any other director in the industry have want to do a documentary on this troubled youth if he hadn not turn his fame into notoriety by brutally rap and murder an innocent young lady who have the misfortune of cross his path . it give one cause for pause . i think it sad that the victim and jessica bergsten and like most other victim of violent crime and become nothing more than a segment of gator seedy past . it almost a if jessica death be merely a springboard to more publicity for gator and long after he deserve it . he even say it himself over the phone from prison in this documentary represent since 1991 i think about this over and over . they say the past do not define the future but it will always be a part of who i be . i know that . not that he will regret for the rest of his life kill someone who be no threat to him and but that it taint his reputation permanently . he will never be able to live it down . in his mind and it still about gator and even after ten year in prison . he hasn not change his perspective at all . chilling . it be a story worth tell and and my praise to helen stickler and everyone who have a hand in this production for tell it .
