I was just really getting into skating when Really Sorry came out. My mom who knew nothing about skateboarding bought me the Really sorry DVD for christmas one year and I was stoked. My friends and me watched that video a million times. We would grind out the winter in their tiny ass garage that had no heating and would do tricks off this box they built. We watched this video (amoung others) to get hyped enough to go skate in the brutal cold. I have a lot of great memories from that time. We always loved you Mr. Appleyard. Glad to see you are still killing it.
I did thr exact same thing, would watch sorry, almost round 3, and pj's Ladds a wonderful horrible life before we went skating, and would skate garages and basements during the winter when we were kids
For the youngn’s who may not be too familiar with Apples.. RU-vid some of his older parts, especially the early Flip/Sorry stuff. One of the best styles of all time. Skates the way he talks.. if that makes sense.
I remember when you came to Houston for the zumies couch tour I missed the meet and greets and I just caught you going towards the back and he still signed my beat up Mimi logo deck him and David Gonzales. So awesome of them to do it. Love you Appleyard
Watching this makes me wish element would get more creative with their graphics again. They've pretty much always been my favorite decks but the art could use some revitalizing
I was like 9 years old when I started skating. I pushed mongo for the first two years until I saw the ad for that shirt in Thrasher or Transworld and it bummed me out so I taught myself how to push with the correct foot. I would go to the skatepark and just do laps around the park until it felt right. It eventually worked out so thanks Mark lol
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Mark! Growing up when all of the homies would hit up spots with security or knew the cops would come we all had alias of a pro skater and idk why but every time any cop wanted our info to see if we damaged anything I always told him my name was Mark Appleyard hahahah
every time I see apples, I just think its Ashton kutchers brother. I haven't unseen it from the days of wearing out the sorry and really sorry VHS tapes back in the day. and I cant forget the Cole, Appleyard and Colt Cannon segment "We're the three amigos, the three musketeers!"
I will always remember skating a kicker to fridge, i was like 14 2002, backside nose grind on the baby blue Earth Wind Water Fire deck. Remember being so hyped cause the fridge felt so high at that age.
He was a golden touch skater. Everything he did was so clean.i rember the 360 flip to tailslide.......so smooth. Be had nollie front nose crooked on lock. He was a really good skater.
Man, Appleyard is such an iconic legend in skateboarding....I got the Black Appleyard "apples dont fall far from the tree" board (the exact one in the video) from Appleyard during lock down he sent it to me signed in the UK. absolute legend.
awesome video, i was big into the flip team when i skated back in the day and appleyard was one of my favs. wish i could of seen a couple the boards of his i rode.
Mark Appleyard was definitely one of my all time fav skaters along with Arto & Chris Cole. Circa was the shit back in the day. Mark's Sorry & Really Sorry Video Parts were always my go-tos for motivation prior to hitting the streets on my board for the day. I truly felt like if I would've continued with it, maybe I could've gotten sponsored or at least on the Flow for a company. Too damn bad I completely destroyed my left ankle boardsliding a handrail, warming up. After they had to surgically repair my ankle with screws and months of rehab, I was just too scared to go through that pain again. My Brain wouldn't allow me to keep the same fearlessness I had prior to my injury. Some people can come back from something like that as if nothing ever happened but unfortunately I couldnt. 16 years later I still enjoy watching the sport evolve and seeing how far the kids have taken it. Also, watching the guys of my day turn into OGs and legends themselves has been awesome. I really miss those days though. Don't take it for granted yall.
I had the smith cover, but I wish it was the gap to back lip. They're both sick, but that gap to back lip was nuts. The way he did it was too gnarly. I felt jealous seeing how gnarly he did it, just thinking I would have done it safer if I even had the balls to step to something like that. Appleyard seems like a real cool dude. Good 00's vibes.
One time Apples posted some old flip decks for sale on instagram and I shot a message, although with the shipping to Canada and the exchange rate was too much to grab one I wanted it so bad, he at least gave me a personal look at his board collection with some new elements and old flips, it was killer.
I got a “complete” of his pro model for Flip back in 2003-2004ish for Xmas and I literally rode the wheels off that thing. It’s nose and tail were so thin that it would cut you if you landed wrong. Bright green with gold flake with an apple holding a knife in hand, with a set of “Monster” brand trucks that were so heavy I could barely flip the board lmao, and it was only like 7.65 wide OMG things have changed so much
If I wanna get pumped to skate I still through on his sorry part all the time. Perfect video part.. and I have his second circa shoe in that hemp color. Love those shoes
i was waiting for him to pull out my first pro board i ever got, which was like the second element appleyard board he made, with the 'standard' kinda element logo on the nose and then had a red maple leaf in the middle. shame he didnt pull it up ! Mark was sort of like an idol to me when i was younger because he grew up in the city/town like right beside me!
Woa somehow I forgot Mark rode for Circa before Globe.. I even had a pair of his first shoe. But I had like 6 pairs of the Globe Vagrants, those were sick.
Cool dude!! Funny story, a girlfriend of mine was into this guy and had the lifesize cardboard version of him standing in the hallway. We'd be like, oh cool your boyfriend is here again!
@@journalisten_boy9141 not sure exactly what hat it is but "Grassroots" is the company. They make fitted hats as well, they make lots of band exclusive hats and stuff for jam bands
That's crazy... right after he shows the picture the girl drew of him n he pulls out that cover of Transworld , I drew a photo of that cover back on the day. I wonder if I still have that magazine at my dad's
When I was younger, this is how I imagined every pro skater collected shoes and boards but unfortunately a lot them have to sell their unused boards just to get by or simply can’t afford the storage
I have a pair of Circa shoes he wore at a demo in Toronto area back in early 2000’s , the Circa rep Mike gave me them when I did a booking for my shop. I think the are size 10.5 black 201’s
I still have my Appleyard circa shoes, and globes. I also have jamie Thomas black circa shoes with the velcro. I wish I had Muskas CM902s :( I miss those style of shoes regardless of how ridiculous it was skating in them compared to the light skate shoes now.
I’d love to see a Madars Arpse map of all the paces he’s been. Just through his Red Bull series alone he’s probably been to 20 different countries most US pro skaters have never thought to go
