Honestly, I dont know who Mike Carroll thinks he is.

Yeah, MJ lied. He's read more books than Carroll. I'm sure he didnt felt like behaving normally and saying politely to Carroll something like: I'm leaving your company, I have an offer I cant refuse. You can imagine two ways Carrolll woulda reacted: faking coolness while he finishes his beer, or acting strangely and hurt MJ in a psychotic way.

An employee backing out in a disrespectful way, and all Carroll does is talk shit about him in the press, mumble about how he will sue him, act like a raging CEO, and overall jeopardize, sink and destroy his companies, declaring bankrupcy and depict them as a failure.

I have to speak the truth now. Crailtap boards break so fucking easily. Lakais look like cheap as fuck shoes, like shopping mall shoes. Hell, nobody recognizes the brand, I'd rather wear janoskis and look like a jock. Girl t-shirts are obviously bought by pretentious rich kids.

I dont know if I'm finished yet, but I dont want to talk about this shit anymore. I feel like I'm hating, even though I'm obviously am.

Who would tell me it's so easy to influence skateboarding in a meaningful way. You just have to appear to not have an education and be above everything.

I hope Mike Carroll dies.

I hope MJ gets over himself.

Who Mike Carroll thinks he is?
1994 SOTY
Prince of EMB
God of style
Or maybe that's just who everybody else thinks he is
[close]

Still an asshole however.

And it can be argued MJ is just as influencial in skateboarding as MC

MJ is without a doubt the better skateboarder, and has a timeless style as well.

Either way this doesnt really affect any of us in the grand scale of things ao why do we give a collective ahit is beyond me???
[close]
its just pointless drama, in my first post in the thread I even said that after this is all over, everybody is still going to be excited for new footage from both of them.
And MJ as influential as Mike Carroll? NEVER.
I like both of their skating, and assume both are probably assholes, but Mike Carroll is God.
[close]

MJ and MC are bothe very influencial. Either way whatever.

Im more stoked on MJ footage than MC, but I understand its vice versa for many.

Just out of curiousity. At both skaters peak, what MC trick do you think MJ could not do?

Not that that means much but I know a shitload of MJ tricks MC could never do.

Anyhow, I wish I could frontside flip that bench in golfish exactly how MC did it, fuckin beautiful

I guess just thinking of tricks in terms of their face value in judging influence. In reference to the point about MC not being able to do some of MJs tricks.

around 98 or 2000, I saw Carroll mess around on the vert ramp at the Lausanne contest. effortless back smith with no pads is the one trick I remember vividly. blew my mind at the time, cause I thought street guys only skated street.

Slap can sometimes be a sad place. You guys are taking this whole thing way too seriously. We're not debating America's foreign policy or the AIDS crisis in Africa. This whole thread is just about two dudes who gave us amazing parts, and also gave alot to the culture, but are now taking their personnal issues pubicly, in a very immature way. For them, it means their whole lives, but for us, it should just be some wooden toy entertainment. Your lives are worth more than being spent writting 5000 words over bullshit.

Carroll and his buddies invented modern street skating and then about a year or 2 later Marc Johnson showed up with his huge level of perfection and tech.  But he didn't invent anything or inspire an entire cultrure like Mike Carroll and co.  It's easy for all these late grads to think that Mike Carroll and Marc Johnson are peers. (they are not)

Who needs Marc when you got the Birdman?

*I think they are lakai's
I can't believe neither of them thought to try to push off and just Ollie. Did the concept of just trying to roll at all not occur to them? Looked fun as hell though...

Although the companies are struggling at the moment you have to give Carroll credit for his contributions as a business owner. All of his brands are one point were very successful and influential, he was focused on managing these brands while all MJs job was to focus on actual skateboarding. MJ left enjoi because running a company takes a lot of work and is stressful. Carroll employed MJ for years and paid him, the least MJ could have done was tell him that he was dipping. Pretty much everyone has left Crailtap and there has never been anything like this.

after the MC interview and a 32 page deep thread - nothing about the FUTURE of Crailtap - i am disappointed.

Hopefully it means more footage from Mike Carroll, Jerry Hsu, Vincent Alvarez, and Rick McCrank,
then i am pretty fine with the loss of AO, BA, Koston, Gino, MJ and Guy.
Crailtap is still stacked with legends - focus on getting same cool kids, proper footage and good products.

His wife for sure.

 ^if you mean Marc he seems like the most dangerous in a fight, or did you mean Mike Carroll's wife.   Mike prolly has his sex shit planned out and doesn't just come at people jerking off from behind, unannounced.

Mike Carrol and Marc Johnson wish they could have half the career and mimic the style ,bag of tricks, accent  and locks that Adelmo Jr has and that mother fucker will never be the Breeze.

Carroll is in my top 5 above Wilt Chamberlain. His career stats are good but I rank him below Alfred Hitchcock in terms of influence. For me Julien Stranger is better than Jimi Hendrix, quite a controversial opinion I know, I've never seen them in person but I looked up their performances on YouTube. Where do you guys put Fred Gall in your Top 100 All-time?
If you ask me, Muhammad Ali at his prime is WAY BETTER than antilock brakes.

Seriously is this real? It has been mentioned on SLAP before that Carroll lets other dudes fuck his wife but I just can't believe any normal person would do that.

Carroll looked rad since H-Street days. Even at that young age he looked proper. Dude was born to roll.
