It's probably good for everyone to move on from this. But it's interesting that Marc hated the business side of Enjoi, getting upset with his friends about productivity and all. It doesn't seem like he could really refute what was out there but was kinda using his mother's passing as cover for his decision. That very well may be what happened. He's said before that his family life was pretty dysfunctional. This event may have unearthed some long ignored issues that triggered a fuck you approach to his present day stress.
The same may be true for Carroll. His company of over 20 years is being dismantled, in part, by these shoe companies. The owners of Crail have made money off of their riders, the riders have made money as members of that team. There is probably volumes of instances where their riders have piled out and kept their status on the team. Guy, Gino, Keenan, Marc etc. So, when Mike is not getting answers to a rumor that he thinks is gong to damage his brand, from a friend and legendary skater, he snaps. That Jenkem article was a statement to Nike and Adidas as much as it was about Marc.
And the part were Roger says that people are sick of shitty shoes, thus being the reason why kids are buying Nike, Adidas, and Converse, is utter bullshit. The kids buy what pros ride. That's why the pros get money from any company. Really lost a lot of respect for that dude. But I guess if you want to work in the industry, those are your new overlords. And they will exact a tribute. Enter Brink's MJ interview...
