Mike Carroll on the future of Crailtap

[Monkey_Mcpott]

Put it this way...Adidas flew Daewon Song out to South Korea to promote Away Days and Marc Johnson went and bought a fix gear with his chick near North Hollywood. That's fucking hilarious. Shit must have hit the fan after Mike Carroll's Jenkem interview. There is no doubt with his recent posts not a single one promoting Adidas. Well they did fly him out to the NYC premier, but they didn't immediately fly him overseas like they did for Daewon.

The NYC premier was before the Carroll shit storm. I do think its funny that its probably the most negative big move in some time, specially when 2 top veteran pros make the same move and there are 2 completely different reactions to them. Daewon has always reeked positive vibes and deserves the positive reaction while Mj always acted like you were too dumb to understand whats going on in his delusional 12 year old brain. Newsflash MJ, reading few Charles Bukowski books doesn't make you smarter than the skateboarding world.

Oh that's even more interesting maybe they canceled his ticket to SK and he's crying like a little bitch over it. He's got the ex-girlfriend break up on social media thing going on instead of being happy with his new life. He posted a picture of the owners of Girl for crying out loud.

Forget Marc Johnson's deception and general shittiness, Adidas is probably wincing at this whole ordeal too. Adidas skateboarding was - up until the night of the premier - a brand that gained acceptance through slowly building its team, putting out enjoyable free content, and listening to its customers. Then in one moment it was gone; they were now a giant entity swooping up A-List skaters because they can.

They lost a fan in me as a result, that's for sure.

Obviously this is just a thought I pulled out of my ass, but I would find it hard to believe that Adidas isn't doing everything in their power to have Marc take down these weird videos and he's just not responding to them. As big and corporate of a company as Adidas is, there's no way they're just sitting back and letting him dig himself a deeper hole.

MJ has been public about having travel anxiety and can't fly anywhere.

I'm thinking MJ must have signed a solid contract with Adidas so he just does't care right now.

Maybe it's because Daewon is Asian (yes, I know he's not Korean) and believe it or not adi may only have so much money budgeted to promote this vid and sending MJ to Korea wasn't part of it?

Yeah, don't know if he was dating her at the time, and the marriage is recent. Funniest stand up around right now though. Him and Doug Standhope are by far my favorite out of the guys doing netflix specials.

Love Bill & Standhope, pretty sure it was a Slap post that put me on to Bill Burr's pod cast, I owe someone a beer for it.

Anyone know who their TM/Skaters high up in the brand? Feel someone like Scuba (TM for Nike) would of known that putting in that intro clip would of been a bad idea. Nike's casual intro of Guy in the Koston part, was a much better way, than that weird two minute clip of driving Daewon around and having the "Introducing Part." That and the whole Snoop coaching, and telling someone to skate faster like "Den Den" (Busenitz) seemed so forced like it was put in by a marketing department, not an editor or any person with a skate background. Crailtap Pretty Sweet and Yeah right are different cuz u know its Spike behind it. The whole video seems off even with amazing skating, thought I need to see it in better quality.

Nike and Adidas are here to help skateboarding realize it's time to submit to a new order, and guys like Marc Johnson, Brink, and Sinclair have all finally dropped their egos and realized this is the age of selling out. Because of this they will all benefit from the fruits that this beast has to offer, and in time Guys like Carrol will wish they saw things differently, especially when their starving and start killing each other over the last drop of breast milk from the only pregnant chick in the FEMA prisoner camps that await us.
