The Search for Marc Johnson

Drugs are a hell of a drug




Freer max b

I’ve got this mental image of him on the floor eating a burger, just drunk off his ass trouting shit to himself
Like the David Hasselhoff video

Your order’s just an idea put into action, every time you buy a deck it’s mostly in your head… your wallets just responding to what your head is telling it to do. You can buy any deck you want to. If you try it long enough. If you can think of it you can pretty much order it on a desktop computer, tablet or your phone.

Bravo, Sir, bravo. Would gnar if I could.

I got you. Bravo indeed.

I enjoyed the epicly later'd episode on Marc. That house he had looked awesome. Plus I wanted to see more of his old board collection. Especially the old Enjoi.
I've mentioned it before... but I WANT to like B & C but it looks like nothing is happening? I've had a few of the boards and they were great.

The skateboard industry was fun and exciting for awhile but in the end I found it to be a super harsh place to work. It was very tough to survive when I left 10 years ago. Covid had to have made it difficult to get started as well but people who you care about and help out will also sometimes screw you over for no reason leaving your life a complete mess and you don’t know how to pick back up. It happened to me. Everyone is trying to get theirs and some want far more than they can chew and people’s lives get destroyed. It’s just selfishness and narcissism really

Nothing specific comes to mind at the moment. I try to forget most of the horrible shit that happened honestly. I’m not a totally perfect person either and had my own issues back then. The money was certainly drying up though and everyone is trying to survive the way they know how or we’re taught. There’s a lot of jealously, greed, politics and bullshit you deal with like anywhere else I suppose. When everyone starts to turn on you including your strongest support systems and you’re physically and emotionally attached to something you love so much that’s when it gets scary and you have to make the choice to preserve whatever sanity and health you have left and dip out. Making that choice was extremely difficult but it felt right to leave even if I wasn’t welcome anymore

Business and company was sabotaged before it even got started by a coked out slick talking streetwear guy.

Your first mistake was ordering a Business and Co board...

[close]

No way man I’m a huge fan of Marc’s board shapes and graphics. I’ve bought so many of his boards over the years I can’t even count

[close]

Holla at me if you want one of his Chocolate decks...

[close]

What one do you have ?

Im willing to part ways with the cartoon graphic where the guy is gripping his deck and he's all, "This just isn't fun anymore" or something, and another one with a matador and a bull or some shit

[Spunkchild]

too good lol

[Made In China]

I’ve ordered plenty from them with absolutely no problems. I’m sure something else other than the worst case scenario is happening. My orders were significant too, over 1k each time.

Wait why are you ordering over $1000 in stuff from Business & Co?? Please tell me you run a skateshop...

[ok boomer]

^ might be running his own business and company

[Not_Bruce]

I had a business and co board when they first launched , I really dug the graphics and the shape. I have always been a huge fan of his skating, MJ was one of my favourites from 1999-2012. In my opinion, I think people soured on MJ because of the dissonance between his brilliant skating and his inability to resolve his personal challenges. Just because MJ was a skating hero to many in the 2000s....people though it would be predetermined he would overcome his issues like Reynolds, Ave and Guy ....and cement his legacy.The more people get educated about mental health and substance abuse in our skating community the more empathy people will feel for MJ.

hang in there, MJ

I just watched hise memory screen. So good

Don’t forget this instant classic …

He's got BGP in Marbie's new Thrasher part.   

[dustyassrocketswitchv]

the search may end, aint no body lookin for this fool

[ok boomer]

Honestly, I feel like what he needs to do is release some footage to remind people that he has a company and they want to do business

[alonelikeastone]

Anyone know why Business & Co is still accepting orders on the website but not actually shipping anything out or responding to anyone? Is Business & Co officially out of business as they say? I’ve already filled a dispute with PayPal and should hopefully get my money back soon because they can’t reach anyone over there either but what gives? Did Marc pull a Dave Chappelle and peace out to Africa after that last round of limited boards?

I noticed a 1800 number on the contact page.... you try calling it?

Turns out they can't do business and really aren't even a co.

How good were those 8.25s with the 14” wheelbase though?
I skated with a flow dude for business and co at cream city and it was magical. Dude ruled.

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.

[Bobbybanana]

It’s all part of the concept duh

[Allen.]

If only he had done anything outside of a skatepark in the last decade.

I don’t see his career being over necessarily but just slowing down some. The natural progression of life. Running a company is a lot of work I’m sure. Hell he could probably just sell his paintings, drawings, and whatnot and just live off that if he really wanted to. Narcissists just don’t like it when people are informed about narcissism though, specially covert narcissists. People who are able to see this get treated the worst most of the time and it can make you jaded for sure. Skateboarding should only be about having fun on your board and enjoying life imo. Not trying to fuck people over every opportunity that presents itself. If more people just focus on that we will all be better off

Wash your mouth out, it may be true - but you don’t have to tell it like it is.
