Marc is alive and doing artwork. He’s offering a years supply of B&C decks to anyone who buys his prints and gets a gold sheep on it somewhere..pretty awesome. Welcome back MJ!

Is it weird that I really want the board with the cherub on it?

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

That ledge he yelled at in Fully Flared finally found him and killed him.

Before I buy his art, I want to know if anyone actually got anything for sending in 5 business and company stickers.

I bought boards directly from them and it took at least a month and a half to receive and required that I notify my credit card company since I figured it was an unfulfilled order. Mj reportedly packed my box and threw in grip with cool art on the back and stuff, which was cool. Big, if true

He seems to be in exceptional shape, if that's from skating he must be doing a lot of it. Here's hoping there will be footage.

B&C would have probably thrived with proper distribution. The one thing craigtap is missing is a smaller brand. Could bring back 917 and B&C to the distro.

watching his fully flared part as a 13 kid just getting into skating melted my brain, became one of my fav skaters immediately. led me to buying my first real set up, a fully flared biebel deck with plaid grind king trucks. thans marc

For a man with as many legendary tricks as Marc, this might be one of the best

honestly I am just glad to see he's doing well and is still involved and doing something within the community. guy still ranks as one of my favorite ever. kinda digging the decks, they have strong late 90s vibes and I don't think they're half bad.

How many thousands of dollars is that hatchet worth?
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

It would be nice if crail as a whole wasn't in the state it is. looking at twenty years of Yeah Right! on their website and instagram just makes me think how behind they've fallen behind. Girl really burned bridges and didn't innovate. Fourstar could have been a decent line if they hadn't refused to make the quality decent. Lakai is making shoes that nobody wants. Fuck all has happened. They couldn't even post Yeah Right in a quality above 540p. I would never expect MJ and MC to bury the hatchet.

I hope he knows more about photo licensing than he does about state laws regarding "lotteries".

The real questions is - if he still skates. And if he is able to enjoy it.
Meeting with an old friend and having a session.

Every hater woud be shut down if there woud be footage him with some friends and
a smile on his face.

When you have a good a style as MJ a simple minute of him skating lines with low benches would be enough for me.
