Keeping MJ is a critical thing for adidas for a number of reasons, and they would be idiots. I don’t give a fuck how much everyone bags on him. He was one of the most defining skaters of the 2000s, and he will be able to skate incredibly well into his older age because he has always been a pure skill& style to unbelievable levels as opposed to gnar dude. When 2000s kids grow up to owning money, I’m not a too distant future, that gen will be like the fucks who buy Powell reissues now. It will have that vibe to it because people at those ages will have more money to throw on shit they want. MJ will be well worth that, as well as Daewon. MJ is one of the relatively few who deserves a name on his board for life. There’s like maybe a hundred or so skaters who should do that, and he’s one of them. He defined a generation of skating. He’s earned his place and people will always buy his shit, when his next part comes out, guaranteed people will shut the fuck up. His part in fully flared and pretty sweet were easily the best parts of both videos, and defined the all star team of the 2000s as the all star of the all stars. In this way u could compare him to hawk and the likes because frankly the crailtap camp in the 2000s easily had some of the best teams in all of skateboarding, and frankly MJ was the best dude on their teams post yeah right through pretty sweet. BA is one of my favorite skaters of all time, and I like him so much more then Marc but you can’t dent he was skating the best, guy was close, Koston hit his peak in yeah right and it was all downhill from there. Carroll and rick were clinging on, and yeah it’s been a shitshow ever since.
