Probably not the greatest look to be slamming beers at a tribute for the guy who died in a drunk driving accident but we out here slamming beers in tribute to the guy who died in a drunk driving accident. How come thrasher didnt get a big stink over that? Barley a peep over that. Makes you wonder, why? Surley its not just piling on the 9club for the sake of the 9club.
Joah didnt have to upload the unmuted version to paetron. That was a choice he made. Everybody and there mothers know the clippers would have uploaded it in full within a few days. Other ways of distributing that material is available. It was a choice to put something people would want to pay for behind a pay wall. There nothing doing disengious shit. Who cares.
What i find kinda sad outside of this debate hinging almost entirely on what talking internet head you subscribe too. No one has made the realization that theres an entire world outside of skateboarding. For the people who remained close to him in his life, folks not central to skateboarding the last 10 years, would probably say both tributes miss the mark.(pun not intended) its all fine and dandy to sit here and reminisce over his old footy. But almost all of that shit was nearly 10 years old 10 years ago. Alot seemingly happened in his life since than for the worse, and marc johnson the skateboarder is one facet of who he was. To skateboarders thats a fitting tribute. But to people who actually stayed in touch with him, that might not have been him at all. Arguing that shit is so stupid. They are both fine tributes. Both are monetizing it. Who cares. It really does just sound like Jerry jaded in joahs ear. And thats fine. Thats what happens when people die. Seldom does anyone come to the same conclusions in death. Theres so much nuance in personal relationships and shit. Its uselss arguing this shit.
