Time To Buy ALL Marc Johnson Chocolate Skateboards and Lakai Shoes

Jankem Magazine posted an interview with Mike Carroll, in which Mike threw Marc Johnson off the team. Johnson has left Lakai for the corporate blood sucking machine known as Adidas, as all pros are now going corporate aka Selling Out to many. I don’t care that much, but hey, a spade is a spade, right?

As for what happens next, I don’t know. But I will say this much, it’s time to buy ALL Marc Johnson skateboards and Lakai shoes you can find.

Why?

They Will Go Up In Value

If history is any indicator as to how these things play out, you’re going to see a huge jump in value of these boards.

Why? 

Because Chocolate Skateboards is NOT going to be making any more, and will not be supplying your local shops with more decks. This is it folks, if you have been waiting on getting a new board, then now is the time to pick up decks from Marc Johnson.

Or maybe not. I don’t know if this is a fact, but I will say this much, Johnson’s departure from Lakai and now getting kicked of Chocolate is causing a lot of stir on the internet, and there will no doubt be a mad dash to pick up the decks.

So, to make it easier, you can buy Marc Johnson Chocolate Skateboards by Clicking here. They will be shipped to your home or office.

Again, these will NOT be made again, they are done. Chocolate Skateboards has kicked Marc Johnson off the team for lying about his Adidas jump. I’m wearing a pair of MJ Lakai’s right now, and will be buying a few more too. Why not? They are comfortable. Until we hear from Marc Johnson, the story goes he lied, got kicked off Chocolate Skateboards, has left Lakai, and hasn't said anything to the tune of Mike's interview with Jankem magazine. That is all.

Mike Carroll Calls Out Marc Johnson For Being A Sellout And A Liar

There are a lot of takeaways that you can get from the May 17, 2016 interview that Mike Carroll did with Jankem Magazine. Some of which is obvious, other things not so obvious.

The main things that you will see is that Marc Johnson, even though he cites reasons in the Skateboard Mag interview here, sold out. Not only that, Carroll calls him out as a liar, and a sell out all the same.

If you read the interview, you will see that Johnson wasn’t supposed to announce that he left Lakai. Lakai already had a full production run of shoes for Johnson, and well, now they are screwed because he’s not on the team.

Johnson, as you may know, moved on to Adidas. He left Lakai, but was supposed to hold off on saying anything because of the Lakai production run coming out, and the need to sell through that.

Well, too bad, Johnson not only left Lakai, he lied to Carroll about it.

So what?

Well, Johnson just got kicked of Chocolate.

This all smells of the same thing that went down with World Industries. The reason why Koston, Mariano, Song, and Johnson may be leaving is because there’s a lot of money being thrown around the skateboarding industry, and it’s not “skater owned and operated” business. It’s big companies with fat pay days for skaters that are getting older, have families, and are selling out.

Then again, you draw your own conclusion.

Welcome To Pizza Skateboards Chase Webb HD Skate Video Part

Chase Webb is one of the latest young rippers to get on Pizza Skateboards. The brand may have a funny name to some, but they are putting on a showcase of talented riders, and some really playful graphics in an era of skateboarding where many people take things way too seriously. Chase Webb’s part really showers the tricks, from rails to vert, and everything in between. This guy is poised to make a splash, and if not, then this is a great feature. Watch out for the hubbas, holy crap, as well as the kinked rails, and nice transitions across various pits. Kinked rail 50-50 really had me, but overall, this is a great introduction to Chase Webb and Pizza skateboards. Check it out after the jump, and see what the hype is all about right now. This kid rips. Congrats Chase Webb, you rip!
