So MJ not even on Adidas after all of that drama. That worked out well for the guy didn't it!? Anyone have any more info on this?
Also why is Brian peacock not fully on? He seems to rep them hard and isn't on and wasn't in their video. What's the deal? He's fantastic I think
Cheers

This post reads very sewing-circle catty.

Simple explanation - MJ's ideas were too big to fit on the team page.
or his head

well now we know how long adidas contracts are, crazy it’s already been 2 years
-
Shame they're gonna miss out on all that MJ footy that's been pumping out since the big move.

MJ has been making it easier and easier for me to forget about the respect and admiration I once had for him. He really should just hang it up, and retire with some dignity.
I’m bummed that Pete Eldridge is no longer listed on the team page. Dude is a legend, as far as I’m concerned.

Pete's rad and all but people gotta stop throwing the word "legend" around so lightly, in and out of skating.

As far as I know pete is still with /// but just in a different role.

if true holy fuck that switch was a terrible decision
-
He's still on the page from what I see. Fake news.

Carroll gets the last laugh

I don't see him on the mobile site nor his match court shoe in the online store.
Edit: click to desktop version and you will see him...weird.

I just called my money guy and had him move everything to business and company shoe co.

It's almost like we haven't learned that websites aren't the best for judging whether or not people are on a team...

Weird that Adidas has different sites for mobile and desktop instead of proper responsive design, slackers.

Judging by his face it's Lao-ry.

Keeping MJ is a critical thing for adidas for a number of reasons, and they would be idiots. I don’t give a fuck how much everyone bags on him. He was one of the most defining skaters of the 2000s, and he will be able to skate incredibly well into his older age because he has always been a pure skill& style to unbelievable levels as opposed to gnar dude. When 2000s kids grow up to owning money, I’m not a too distant future, that gen will be like the fucks who buy Powell reissues now. It will have that vibe to it because people at those ages will have more money to throw on shit they want. MJ will be well worth that, as well as Daewon. MJ is one of the relatively few who deserves a name on his board for life. There’s like maybe a hundred or so skaters who should do that, and he’s one of them. He defined a generation of skating. He’s earned his place and people will always buy his shit, when his next part comes out, guaranteed people will shut the fuck up. His part in fully flared and pretty sweet were easily the best parts of both videos, and defined the all star team of the 2000s as the all star of the all stars. In this way u could compare him to hawk and the likes because frankly the crailtap camp in the 2000s easily had some of the best teams in all of skateboarding, and frankly MJ was the best dude on their teams post yeah right through pretty sweet. BA is one of my favorite skaters of all time, and I like him so much more then Marc but you can’t dent he was skating the best, guy was close, Koston hit his peak in yeah right and it was all downhill from there. Carroll and rick were clinging on, and yeah it’s been a shitshow ever since.

It was an adidas edit, but it looks like they deleted it. Quartersnacks made Pete the quartersnacks skater of the year in 2012 because of this line. http://quartersnacks.com/2012/12/the-events-that-defined-new-york-city-skateboarding-in-2012-10-6/
Pete Eldridge is definitely a legend

Honestly aside from the weird tony hawk stuff this is pretty spot on. Marc is kooking it a little right now but he can still get some credibility back if the stars align. Never forget that most of the hate surrounding him stems from some bad PR from Carroll. Not saying Marc was an angel but look at the current state of crailtap. Where there's smoke there's fire.

kinda has a tom brady thing goin on

So summed up:
it's MJ on 'weird ramblings' and Adidas on 'crappy mobile web design'.

It was MJ’s “idea” to not be on the team page....

Have to disagree about few things. Carroll was far from “clinging” on since Yeah Right, and his Fully Flared part was easily one of my favorites. Also, MJ developed sort of an exaggerated steeze with his arms after landing tricks. Guy and Koston killed it in Fully Flared, before Guy got too carried away with the ledge combos.

I thought it was funny that it's a picture of his face with "SKATEBOARDING" written on it. Not so sure about that.
