Alright, click the following link to see a clip of Mark Dynamix.
K. About 2:55 minutes into it, while he's in Hyperspeed he's doing some scratching isn't he? Anyways, I think what he's doing is super cool but...why is he using both of his hands, while one hand should be on the crossfader when your scratching? So what EXACTLY is he doing??

looks like a variation of a tear scratch
The tear is much like a baby scratch in that you do not need the fader to perform it, but unlike a baby scratch, when the DJ pulls the record back he/she pauses his/her hand for a split second in the middle of the stroke. The result is one forward sound and two distinct backward sounds. This scratch can also be performed by doing the opposite and placing the pause on the forward stroke instead. A basic tear is usually performed with the crossfader open the entire time, but it can also be combined with other scratches such as flares for example by doing tears with the record hand and cutting the sound in and out with the fader hand.
usually the only time I use two hands on the record is for doing tweak scratches

yup, but your normal household table can't handle scratches very well =P
the tone arm usually doesn't have enough weight on it and w/o a slipmatt I don't see scratching being accomplished on them...believe me I've tried
