YouTube just recommended me an episode of "4 wheels live" with Marc and westgate, and it just memory blasted me with the image of Marc as a casino dealer doing another version of these weird shows. Does anyone remember this? Am I losing it? Does it exist anywhere?
were these part of that eric bragg subscription service thing? might be false memory but i think that was a thing.

a marc related memory that came to me this evening was his time on otherness...or maybe he helped start it? i was never clear on the details but thought it was cool. RIP to one of the greats

Were these tricks used in anything? I only vaguely remember the first clip.

Great article, I actually have that one on my site

Do you happen to have a scan of the short MJ interview from Skateboarder magazine issue summer 1997? I used to have the magazine but lost it years ago. Been looking for that interview but no luck so far.

So from the issue with Bam dropping in? I will look, I own that issue

Edit: the 20 Questions feature?

Yeah, I think so. If he mentions Unwound, that’s the one.

Not my best work re: scanning - just took a quick picture with my phone. But here ya go!



Marc's answer that is 3rd from the bottom re gnarliest thing seen sounds pretty extreme. Anyone know if this has been discussed in more detail elsewhere?
Jorts
Anklets
Rat tails
Sling shots
Toe rings
Shuv it tail grabs
Jump ramps

Used to watch your parts all the time but it’s hard to do it now. Hope you and Dylan can laugh and skate and enjoy peace.

let’s go home

Must have been in some Adidas thing but that’s all I’m able to recall.

that’s ai.

It really does look so but its just the slo mo making it look weird and of course what ever editing he does. He shared another one right after from a wide angle, full speed, multiple tries. Its legit. In full speed/raw footage it looks way more natural.

rawbertson.

dont think so. You can tell he must have had a pretty gnarly life behind the scenes.

Not sure if it's been posted but apparently this is the last video MJ had clips in, Adidas - Reverb 2021

He has 3 tricks at 3:12, not sure if he has more later in the video, haven't had time to watch the whole thing.
Probably not tho
