MJ is prolly searching for whatever after his career. Most people when they decide to retire from a career end up doing random shit. hopefully he’s enjoying himself, and having a good time. Most guys that take a beating like that physically and most importantly psychologically(a lot of people don’t think of the psychological impact of having to make video parts consistently), tend to have a hard time transitioning into a new role in life. He seemed jaded about the skateboard industry in any interview you ever see with him, mainly about the way men handle their business ya know. He knows kids and even old ass adults trying to stay in the game use Instagram and all the other modern ways of trying to promote their skateboarding. Dudes old school and just didn’t want to be in the industry after everything changed, don’t blame him, would rather watch a 4 minute skateboard part back when men were noble on a board than whatever weird shit they have now.
I think you make a really good point
The best example I can give is this
I really only know about construction and for sure you can get shit pretty bang on if you take the time but sometimes deadlines and also shitty work by previous trades can have a cascade effect where all the work that went on top of it is all a bit Pete tong
But there are standards and there is stuff that may look wonky but it’s not technically a defect and someone in the industry would be like yeah cunt that’s fine I know that the concreting was all fucked and you didn’t quote on levelling it - just an example
Imagine putting your heart and soul into something and this fucking peanut gallery just picks your work and talks shit about how you put your hands down on a frontside flip or whatever
From the pros point of view maybe they are thinking Jesus Christ you little shit id been on tour a month I was fucking tired and sore and I just took that one, it’s fucking good enough
I done domestic work for full cunt clients that want the world on a platter for fuck all money and there is no pleasing cunts like that
I mean I’m not gonna stop roasting pros on slap cause from my point of view it’s not malicious I’m just trying to have a good time
But as I said, I think you made a good point there
