Skateboarders sure are a confused bunch of people

Adidas and Nike both are super corpo. Yet Adidas does not get half the hate that nike gets. Sure they market themselves abit different but they are pretty much the same thing. A big company with big money that have used sweatshops and many other "bad" methods to get shit done. Adidas even has old Nazi ties

dennis busenitz and silas baxter-neal are loved for many things including speaking out against energy drink sponsors. Yet most people have no problem for them skating for one of the biggest companies in the world

So many skaters here are working jobs they do not like, even hate. But they do it so they can pay the bills and feed themselves and their family, yet they have a problem with a skater taking sponsors. The fact that you like Lakai better then Adidas means MJ should not switch companies so he can pay his bills and feed his family. His sponsors have pretty much 0 effect on your lives and 100% effect on MJs life

Its ridiculous that people loved MJ though his whole carer and now that he has Adidas shoes on his feet people are hating and pretending they will not watch his next part.

So many of our favourite low key pros who have skated for smaller brands like Traffic have had to retire and get a real job sometimes 10 years before they would have to retire because they needed to pay bills and not starve to death. We maybe missed out on 5 parts from each of those amazing pros. Yet people hate on sponsors that are giving skaters a opportunity to do their job and skate  

Every time a pro or AM goes out and skates they can get a horrible injury that ends their carer. Sometimes bullshit like Mike Mo happens and they get hurt fucking around. Most companies usually dump them pretty fast. No health insurance or any back up plan to help them out.
Or they get lucky and retire at age 30+ ? maybe 40 ?

And then what go out and find a job when you are 45 ? with no highschool or college degree and no work experience  ? Better get that cash from as many sponsors that you can so your kids can go to college


I really like adidas shoes and I dont think MJ has made a part that I havent loved. Great style and trick selection. Dude could be sponsored by freakin fishing equipment and amazon and I would not care

Monty, monty, did you read the first 58 pages before you posted this?

No one cares that marc is on adidas, it's the way he quit lakai that people have a problem with.


to think it probably took you just as long to make that post as it took watson to make that incredible video.. tsk tsk

I think it's funny how many people are so willing to back what Mike Carroll did to Marc Johnson, even though if they had the same thing happen to them, they would have probably left Lakai even sooner than Marc did. Think about it. You are working a job one day, and out of nowhere, you notice that your pay has been substantially reduced without warning. You call the company to ask about the reduction and they give you an answer: "Wow, that's weird, we don't know what happened, we will look into that," but they never call you back. Then it happens again, until finally, you get on the phone with your boss and he tells you that he has to cut your pay again. Then he proceeds to tell you to find new employment, but to wait an extra 5-7 months before you start your next job so that your old employer can make more money off you. If I was in Marc's shoes, I would have started looking for another shoe sponsor as soon as my pay was reduced with no explanation or warning. I don't blame any of these pros that decide to take on mainstream and large corporate sponsors. You have to pay the bills somehow and as another poster has said previously "There is no such thing as selling out, when you have mouths to feed." Could have Marc handled the situation better? Yes. But as Crailtap has continued to push inferior products and practice shady business moves; you ultimately reap what you sew.

Clearly MJs move to adidas has nothing to do with ideas, clearly. I just wished skaters would just be straight up about it and just say it was for the money. MJ has always has great parts but he's also always come across as an arrogant douche. I will always love a MJ part but will never go back and see an MJ interview.
