i want to like marc johnsons skating but i just can't

[decoi1]

nah he's onto something, i love yeah right and man down but post-hot chocolate MJ kinda sucks

fully flared - advertised as like, 30 or 35 minutes worth of footage and then the part comes out and it's full of dumb ledge combos and tacky tricks that he's clearly doing for the sake of doing, like frontside full cabs down three stairs and double flips on flat and no-pop 3 shuvs. the part is almost unwatchable because of how mid half of that footage is

pretty sweet - better but still skirting by on the strength of that david bowie song more than anything

away days and beyond - c'mon

‘post hot chocolate MJ kinda sucks’
 Wtf is going here. I understand if you don’t like the tricks he’s doing for whatever reason but saying that one of the collectively agreed greatest of all time sucks, is completely asinine.

[streetmeat]

you really woke up and said, 'i need to express my dumbass opinion on Thanksgiving and ruin someones (me) day'

[figureitout]

Oh it's really simple. It's just the exact opposite of everything you said.

[skateharder]

history matters his parts have to be put in historical context to be fully appreciated if you just watch them in some abstract way like as if everything is just simultaneous and he released it yesterday You're not going to get it

[mightytrucks]

I put Marc on the level of street skating that Mullen and Daewon are on- u know that top level that cut above the rest. U know that level of skating that they don't even invite those two to batb cuz u know it'll be a one sided bloodbath. Joking kind of but i put Marc on that god level tier he really deserves it with all the footage he's put out in his career.

Nik Stains fakie tres are disgusting and they barely leave the ground. Zero pop.

Apart from that he's the man.

But I just have to say it. They're awful

nik stain = nosemanual and falling forward

thats all i remember

marc johnson is great

[jaesi25]

It’s his opinion. He didn’t say he sucks, he’s just not into it.

He likes Rowan and KB.

I can agree with his sentiment.

I can’t stand Jerry…but SLAP loves him.

OP has a point. Trick selection and Style = meh

[fakie nollie]

I hate this place

[Cheshire Cat]

I mean I like Jerry Hsu as much as anyone (Sub to change and Stay Gold mogwai Nollie bs180 5-0❤️) and Rowan Zorilla is criminally underrated to me  but you’re really gonna make this post with that particular gif in your sig?
Mark Johnson was one video part away from auto-erotica fart inhalation asphyxiation but any trick of his looks better than that fs nose Nollie heel.

[Not_Bruce]

Each to his own , in my eyes Marc Johnson is one of the seminal figures in skateboarding history. After I read your post I rewatched Marc’s parts , and it really hit me …. This Marc Johnson guy is so special words would be inadequate to capture his brilliance on a skateboard.

It was such a shame that the skateboarding industry sided with Mike Carroll and Crailtap , one of the more bummer incidents in recent skateboarding history.

So, umm whose arm posture do you like?

[smellsdead]

why do i always feel

like im in the twilight zone?

[radcunt]

His humor rules, but his skating is pretty meh

[Sativa Lung]

I think you're about 20 years too late with this hot take

[theoriginalgoon]

any update on what MJ has been up to. he turn amish or something after business and company failed?

[LordManHammer]

You’re insane.

This

[Jimmy The Saint]

His manuals, nose or standard, and nose grinds are perfect. It almost seems like he holds them low, but he rarely flinches when he does them. So solid.

[Chiefqueef]

Fair enough

[YeoWhattup]

Oh it's really simple. It's just the exact opposite of everything you said.

This made me lol

[Uncle Flea]

If you're talking vines it's really not his fault. Not everyone can be Cory Duffle.

[Uh Oh]

Not everyone can be Cory Duffle. - Mike Sinclair to Elijah Berle

[JohnnyBoy]

Hes smooth as hell. Dress shirt swag is a bit much though. But he never looks jerky, hes floaty. And he looked like that skating tiny wheels and shitty spots.

[Uncle Flea]

I like his 7 steps look and his current.

[Yonnycage]

You ever seen ANYBODY else freeze their entire body in place during a manual? He’s one of the best of all time. He can just shit out a tech trick on the spot. Watch his clips in Biebel’s park. Bigheel to back blunt like fuck you talmbout

[mtvic]

This might as well be a post about how someone can not understand greatness: love the guitar but doesnt get hendrix, loves singing but doesnt feel stevie wonder, loves basketball but doesn’t enjoy Michael jordan, enjoys art but hates van gogh. You are missing the entire fucking point. Either you are trolling or lack culture. Smoke some good weed, try to understand the contextual relevance of his time and place. Fuck me.
