Editing Mark Rogowski (section)

==Downhill slide==
Rogowski's popularity declined as 'vert skating', popular in the 1980s, was supplanted by [[street skateboarding]] in the 1990s. Vision, the company he was with for the majority of his career, filed for [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|chapter 11 bankruptcy]]. For re-invention, Rogowski changed his name to "Gator" Mark Anthony, explaining "Rogowski" was the name of the father he never knew.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}}

After a severe accident in [[West Germany]], where Rogowski either fell or was pushed from a hotel window and landed on a fence,<ref name="paper" /> Rogowski returned home to Carlsbad to recover. After befriending Augie Constantino, an ex-surfer turned born-again Christian who also became his "spiritual advisor", Rogowski converted to a strict [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] form of [[Christianity]], influencing Rogowski's attitude and skateboard deck designs.<ref name="paper" /> After four years of dating McClain, Rogowski suggested the couple marry, proclaiming they "can't have sex anymore unless we get married." The sudden lifestyle change contributed to the end of McClain's relationship with Rogowski, along with his occasional bouts of violence (which included his locking her in a closet) and unprovoked jealousy, and she returned to her parents' home in [[San Diego]], California.<ref name="paper" /> Rogowski began a period of severe alcoholism following McClain's departure.
