MJ Chrome Ball interview

[OldieButFrenchie]

Ty will not be forgotten easily, but he will be remembered with something to his name. Pretty Sweet may not be appreciated here, but there are a ton of other non-forum-lurking skateboarders who really dig it.
He did create some of the greatest videos in Skateboarding, watch Modus Operandi and those who remember it, remember it.

But the angry internet dude side of me is fucking pissed off at the fact that the stopped a Marc Johnson "fun part" from ever being seen. Ty, I'm sure that the level that MJ was skating at in the lost part is nowhere near what is in Fully Flared or Pretty Sweet, but we dont give a double flying fuck about that. You see, we, as skateboarders and fans of skateboarding videos, don't get to constantly hang out with the best of best of the industry on a daily basis. We dont get to film them doing the craziest trick taking 7+ hours to land. For you, thats probably what you think we'll enjoy. But we want to see a humble side to MJ's skateboarding also, and thats the part that you dont seem to understand. Even if its badly filmed or the tricks are only curbstalls or parking block grinds, dork tricks and dumb stuff, we'd love to see it.

If some clips were used - cool. But at the end of the day, there are those of us who would really appreciate viewing the content in its original edit.

real talk!

Best post in this thread. Pretty much sums it up for me.

It was a stressful time with a lot of shit clouding everyone's judgement. Everyone involved with FF probably has a list of things they'd go back and do differently if they could.

With MJ's other part it was just a timing thing with the release of FF. In hindsight it wasn't a big deal but at the time it felt like it.

I'm happy the part's being released.

I do appreciate you stopping by the Slap boards to give us your take on the story.

[shitsandwich]

Are you and MJ on good terms?

Good to hear. Hindsight is a hell of a thing.

Now all that's out of the way, how you enjoying the Black Magic camera?

This reads so funny to a queen like me because gay dudes use "FF" as shorthand for fist fucking.

"Everyone involved with fist fucking probably has a list of things they'd go back and do differently if they could."

Modus will not be forgotten and truth is Ty made some good vids but pretty sweet bummed me out.
Every super tech bullshit flip in/out trick looked so desperate and gross.  I miss the days of 5 trick lines and homies filming.  This shit is trying to turn into a sport and if that is fully accomplished watch the shit disappear.  The whole game is fucked up.  It's supposed to be about pushing yourself not having somebody else push you.  MJ is the shit Tiltmode all day

Read both MJ interviews, read this whole thread, and it's still only noon...
