Where is Marc Johnson?

[ok boomer]

was he juiced?

[Cheshire Cat]

There was a big Business & Co thread on here last year / earlier this year that was pretty active with people mentioning not getting orders or responses from him. Not sure if it was this one because I thought there were more recent replies than April:

MJs career sort of petering out how it did after a moderate scandal and some moments of promise was not how I thought he would go.

[chany penguin]

he's either in the black stages of alcoholism or he's protecting his sobriety and living off grid. hopefully we haven't seen the last of him.

[lamfordie]

Didnt someone mention in the Lakai is done thread that he was commenting on Reddit out their downfall

[overlyoffensive]

didn't he move to big bear or something?

[sweet pee]

I would love to see a return (even a few dork tricks) and guest board on Sci Fi.

Hope Marc is doing ok wherever he is...

On a side note: Was the "Lost" MJ part ever liberated from Carroll?

[Fongstarr.]

I would think Adidas would make him do some sort of marketing for being sponsored by them (he is still listed on their team site with no photo).

Wrong Marc, although MJ definitely gives redditor vibes hah

[Jort250]

Probably teaching at Harvard

[TheWineClub]

He’s in flavor country

[WarmUpZone]

Imagine if MJ is the headline of the big team reveal on the Lakai page after the countdown.

He's in flavor country, but none of the rest of us are.

He seems like the sort of person who would skate deliberately by himself and go out of his way to not document it out of spite for us all / the entire industry.

[Colin Robinson]

At the liquor store reloading.

[Yaheardme]

Skateboarding was a better place with MJ

[j....soy.....]

Thanks for not dumping such a great question into the four Lakai threads…..but instead starting a new one…..

[sammy jenkis]

Remember when Carroll completely lied about Marc in a drug-induced Jenkem phone call rant and the entire skate internet, including Slap, had Carroll's dick so far down their throat that they did everything they could to shame and treat Marc like complete shit?

I do. I'd be gone too. One of the best to ever do it and everyone turned on him for seeking better employment. As if they'd stay at a job that didn't pay them or owe their boss an explanation while seeking other opportunities.

Its funny how few people actually admit to it being like that, but it was. Now everyones all on the "where is MJ? i miss MJ" tip. its fucking lame how much people love to break someone down and pile on then act like they didn't do it.

But you never stopped loving him

Correct. Liked him more for doing what he did. And Crail and Carroll and Jenkem less for doing what they did.

[nopopnostyle]

I have to admit to being one of the biggest Carroll fans before this whole situation.

But looking at it now, he kinda revealed himself in the interview. Wannabe Mogul with an ego problem. Can’t even enjoy his old parts anymore now. 

And I just had this thought while watching a few old Marc Johnson parts recently,
was there anyone on Crail at that time that did a better job at putting out parts? Just look at the pretty sweet part as a comeback after fully flared. 
I think a lot of pros would’ve been so burnt out after doing what he did for his Lakai part. He still comes through with a really good part for his board sponsor as a follow up and as a result gets a pay cut.

We don’t know what went on behind the scenes, what promises have been made, etc.

But I know that this whole situation, including the interview afterwards, could be pretty harsh on you, especially if you’re a sensitive person.

I just hope Marc is doing alright and he knows that some people don’t think he did anything wrong with the Adidas move.

And I hope he gets his mind free enough to bless us with some more footage. Whatever level it may be.

[non-playable character]

at least his son is ripping

[Sick_McCrank_]

He’s probably done with being in the spotlight aka exposed to modern marketing and social media.

Understandable.

[Shiro417gunpla]

No Guy Mariano-esc comeback? Heard he's been drinking more and selling stuff out of his garage

[Massivebellend]

Prob in a shit tonne of debt and drinking his way through each day

[Buttworm]

Just performing his daily dose of mud treatment

[RoaryMcTwang]

Know that we love you, Marc.

[corto]

I miss the times when skateboarding had know-it-all people like MJ. Nowadays everyone plays the humble dumb athlete role.

[TrickMaster7000]

God bless Marc Johnson.

[bo bice]

we love you Marc, please come back
