ohhhh sweeeet this is gonna b good thank you

I have so much respect for Scott Johnston for retiring when he felt his productivity was slowing down. And now he’s got a whole new chapter in life. Great example and I wish more pros would follow it and make space for new skaters coming up.

He also took initiative and learned a good skill in his spare time, where most pros just party. Cool to heard him talk about his move to adidas and how it wasnt just for more money (im sure that played a role) but taking his career as far and pushing himself as a designer.
-
One of the cleanest styles of all time.
-
Bless you Chromeball. Amazing.
-
the notion that part of the reason he retired was to get out of the way of up and comers is noble as hell. almost hard to believe. dude is a saint in that regard.

I think that’s why he was willing/able to step aside gracefully. He had something else to do. Admire him a lot

Just finished reading the full thing. What a great person. Love the humility and grounded nature of his comments. This is the kind of human I aspire to be.

I was too young to realize how sick mad circle was. Barry McGee doing graphics is so sick
-
That interview left me with the same impression that all of his video parts did in the best way possible.

one of the greatest skate quotes of all times
-
I always preferred "Scott Johnston is Mike McGill!"
-
i've been of/on homeless since a young age and kind of a dirtbag asides so i always thought scott johnston would judge me and my messy griptape. stopped me from really enjoying him back in the day [asides FTC, that vid went hard in the paint].
i couldn't front on his bsts on the wheels at brown marble either. 411 #1.

Yea im younger and when I watched scotts bobshirt he talked about barry mcgee doing graphics, I did a bunch of research into the brand and got stoked.

Best dude.
One of my favorite SJ moments is in a Big Brother video where he freaks out on Cameron Postforoosh for puking in a boat and refusing to jump in the water after getting vomit on himself.
“Just get in the fucking water!!!”
Hahaha
-
I think Scott is among the very select few who never had one bad photo, or clip. even his swongo push is amazing
-
I totally forgot / never saw this photo. Maybe due to the lack of footage. Would love to see that make.
I always credited Gershon for this trick; years later in some TWS video, I think.
another great interview from chops

Damn. Never seen this. Thanks for posting.

Scott Johnston is so dope, but now I want to learn more about Mad Circle. I'm a fan of 90s SF graffiti but I never realized that Twist was doing art for a skate company at the time. Dude is so talented.

Me neither. Thanks Sniffer!
Drehobl's fs 360 attempt the Gonz was rad to see too after reading about it in his Chromeball interview a while back:
Rumor has it that you got on Think by trying to 360 ollie the Gonz Gap… is that true? Did you ever make that? And did you skate the Gonz Gap often back then?
The 360 attempt might have helped but really what happened was that I met Bryce Kanights at his ramp, Studio 43. We started skating and shooting photos together and he started to tell people about me. One day, I was skating his ramp and I had flat spots. Greg Carroll just came up and gave me a set of wheels, asking me to ride for Think. That was it. I'm sure you've skated with flatspots before and know how bad it sucks so I really didn't have a choice.
Amazing.
I wouldn't say I skated the Gonz gap often but I would jump down it every now and then. I did get to skate it with Gonz back when he kickflipped it. That was insane. Definitely a good one to have in the old memory bank.
I never made the 360 though. My foot slipped off my tail and I tore my MCL so I never wanted to try it again. Then, once my knee got better, I tried to switch ollie it. I landed on one but zipped out and hit my head. That was pretty much it for me and that gap.

SJ's part in Mad Circle "Let the Horns Blow" is one of my favs. Always dug his skating.
