For life haha the tricks the times the tunes the clothes the atiitude the STYLE from buitlt to spill to the 13 minutes of fully flared madness. A true MasterClass
This is my favorite skate part of all time. It's the combinations of his flow.. his imagination.. the actual execution of what he envisions.., and (of course) one great tune that brings it all together :) Timeless.
I have a short story to tell ,and I hope I can use this plattform to say something to Marc. I grew up skating with him in Winston-Salem, and in Greensboro.If my memory serves me right,he lived Marion NC before that.Once my best friend at the time was on the flow list for Think Skateboards.We had planned to drive to Marc to go skating, and spend the night at his house.Something or another went wrong and for reasons I can't remember,we could not drive up.I know Marc spent a good part of the day cleaning up for a sleep over and waiting for us to come. I am not sure if we even communicated properly, and we left him hanging, which troubles me almost 30 years later.Marc, I know NC was not always easy,and I just want to apologize from my heart for not showing up that day,I'm sorry man...Remembering what is like to be young and excited, friends sleeping over.90's skateboarding on warm summer nights,the locust buzzing in the trees.Watching skate videos,and the smell of dinner when going inside....Those things..... Watching you skate is more like poetry.I knew you would become an inspiration for all skaters on this lonely planet..Love you man.
Wow? Such a nice story brother Can't imagine how you feel about that! I'm sure that marc doesn't have any anger against you or something like that, but you are so lucky for say that you were friend of a really inspirational legend bro! I'm on the new wave skaters and marc its like an icon for us
yeah the fakie tre out is another one burned into my memory. I think it's the way the board stays perfectly flat on its axis with pop and catch. Also that speed would terrify me haha
I wish people would get this meme right! It goes: Hey Marc, are you going to do high-speed classics with perfect style for your part, or NBDs? Marc: Yes. Yes I am.
I don't know why he doesn't get mentioned in people's top ten? He's so freaking good! Definitely one of the goats. People also forget he was a gnarly alcoholic for a long time and didn't sober up until the last part of his skate career.
Perfect balance between casual and epic. This video part cured my depression. Might sound exaggerated but for me this is top 3 video parts of all time just behind Appelyard´s Sorry and Gonz´s Video Days.
Damn he did the back noseblunt nollie back heel out!! I remember koston trying that in the menikmati or yeah right extras I believe well I think he lands one super sketchy.
All the fat skinny people MJ is my all time favorite, this part gives me the chills everytime. The way his foot flicks out of the backlip to backtail kickflip out…STYLE
marc johnson should come down to imperial county theres mad spots and i can give a tour of the spots i also skateboard so if he would bring a videotaper would be nice
I think we stopped seeing MJ video parts cuz every part shows such mastery. I really preferred the Tilt mode days with Jerry and Louie cuz they were fun over mastery. One funny thing I picked out is nose grind 3shuv 5-0 seems like something we should have seen Rodney do, we've all seen him do it as manual combo in the [think it was] Globe video.
