WakeUtah’s Featured Rider (June): Marc Glover

Marc Glover is an enthusiastic young rider who is consistently rising amongst the local scene. He has won and placed in countless different events; including placing third, outlaw division, at the most recent IWA stop at Yuba, and first place in the 19 and under category at Idaho’s first rail jam, Wake in the Park, put on by Idaho Watersports. He also took home first prize in the IWA point series, advanced division, last year. Marc is an extremely nice guy who loves the sport of wakeboarding and is always ready to take a pull. Glove is a universal rider who can throw down and progress behind any boat or winch, including my own.

Glove has mad skills and a clean style on the wake and on sliders. Behind the boat, you might first notice his huge raley. Marc likes to get upside down with all sorts of tantrums, backrolls, scarecrows, toe side rolls, roll to reverts, and who know how many more. He can also spin in many different ways; backside 180’s, front and backside 3 heel and toe sides adding a slob and mute grab, a 540 or two, and even a switch 3. It doesn’t stop there, along with all this awesomeness Glove will throw in a grab on many, if not all, of these tricks.

Marc brings the awesome to slider sessions as well. No matter what rail creation he is hitting, whether it be mine, a competition, or a gnarly, Brothers Allphin, home brew set up usually with a huge gap, Glove can throw down something fierce. Clean board and lip slides will usually start Marc’s session. He doesn’t mess around too long before pulling out different 3 combinations, 5’s, and beyond, spinning both ways of course. Then comes the illusive 270 on, and many other stylish moves, and spins.

Check out Marc’s videos, send him a message, then call him up to have a session. With his deep bag of tricks and winning personality you will not be disappointed. Keep an eye on what Marc Glover will be doing this season and beyond. Stay tuned to WakeUtah for all the latest and greatest that will come from this outstanding local rider. – Great job Glove! Keep up the good times.
