Maple-Seven...-Marc Johnson

[nickplu]

For anyone who's interested in the details of the beautiful song at the start, it's called 'Some Velvet Morning' by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood. :D

[simmonsalk]

5:22 he juss barely touched before da tre flip!!

[JonasPolsky]

"some old ass video"? I bought this when it came out. *tears*

[ProfanityAlertMedia]

@JonasPolsky yeah what a lame ass way to remember Maple =[ lol. Nobody remembers Charlie Wilkins anymore either >=/

[theclarkness1]

brings me back....does anyone still have the union video of steve olson?

[clayt79]

3:10, switch frontside 360 kickflip

[bluesbuy29]

at 5:14 hee skates the duffy  rail when was this video made think he skated it before duffy

[JonasPolsky]

@bluesbuy29 I think this was 1996 or '97. So four or five years after Plan B's "Questionable" came out.

[bluesbuy29]

at 5:14 hse skates the duffy rail when was this video made think he skated it before duffy

[sharpcheddarful]

wow extraordinary

[ABDStillLegit]

i love his kickflip backtails! he's so steezy when he does them on ledges

[hollywoodjokerpicalo]

listen to the second half of the video with the song jucie by the world class wrecking crew being played in the background.

[runningback82]

I think they sell maples at academy for 10 bucks. Does anyone know if they are good?

[BierBrille]

@runningback82 yeah, so long as time hasn't destroyed the glue and all that, they were good. I had one back in the day, 2000. No probs, great deck.

[skaterguy421]

@runningback82 maple hasn't been a company since the 90's

[gustavo26603]

Saudações ao mentor Marc Jonhson, inspiraçao de muitos skater da década de 90!!!!!!!!

[machineguntongue]

Crazy! Some of the ledges are 1/2 mile from my house. Skated out and capped now. Had no idea MJ ripped it up. Crazy and starstruck! Haha. Fsnning out for MJ.

[MrBillymike]

4:28 heelflip tail!!! he did that before everyone else

[PeterGratrex]

FRANTIC STYLE!

[sinister6sinister]

and to the kids......bam aint shit but an mtv millionaire-

[dunny1977]

Im sure this has been said already but this part could hold up today as an ender and kill everything else out there.MJ is the best.

[simondeansmilkisgay1]

dude i can't believe how good this part is!!! my new favourite part of all time... marc has the same arm steeze too!!

[GetAidsTheFunWay]

I lent this VHS to someone back in the day. He never returned it to me. Biggest regret of my life.

Hey Hey Kiddies! You are watching one of the best skate videos of the 90's here! I know the quality is not what you are used to, but that is what VHS was. Low quality video and high quality skating. Deal with it. Aaron Snyder, Chad Knight, Dave Mayhew, Jason Carney, Kien Lieu and Joe Mclellen had amazing sections in this video as well. Maple-Seven Steps to Heaven. 1996 Awesome.

[METTI1986LA]

hell yeah - hes so sickkkkk - my favourite trick in this part is nollie kickflip bs 50-50

nowadays nobodys doing this!

[bewaretheasian]

[D33JAY]

jerrry hsu used to be on maple

[lover91761]

that catch on that heelflip at 38 is high

[markeesmith]

This is Lee Hazlewood. Far from crap. One of the most innovative songwriters/producers of the 20th century. Don't be an idiot.

[iskatecity]

switch frontside 360 flip...fuckin buttery

[dalesdecks]

Pretty Songs

[Cosmokramer09]

amazing!

people are still attempting to do some of that stuff to this day

[inkadinkad0]

they should of played some NOFX for the background music

[Mr6shotns240s]

fuck you asshole FUCK NOFX

[inkadinkad0]

grow up

[sumthinotherthanthat]

NOFX is probably the best punk band of all time. How can you hate on them? SO many good songs.......The Decline, You Drink You Drive You Spill, My Vagina, Bob.... You missed out on a good time period of music, my friend. Shame on you for downing them.

[PatsyHarding]

how was someone this good back then.

[nawabmevans]

cuz its MJ

[brt570]

Back then? I remember watching this movie in high school. The entire Maple line up was pretty rad.

But I guess I remember watching Bones Brigade videos and wondering the same thing.

[JustinPDBragg]

Maple boards are still around aren't they? I though they were just sold at Wal-Marts now as begginer boards.

[Michael333]

this is totally true. I saw them like a year ago at wal-mart. I thought maybe maple wood but im pretty sure it has some relevance to maple the company.

[planxb900]

u can tell its realy old still mint btw does he still skate?

[austinisahero]

absolutely dude, where've you been when lakai's fully flared came out?

[al9rupture]

does he still skate? lol

two words - FULLY FLARED

[matewashere]

the song ruined this video clip

[sk8bow]

cant see the forest for the trees

[jroc2778]

u really watch sk8 vids for songs?

[matewashere]

no, i'm just saying that the song is crap, i think the video clip is actually really good

[beanegro1]

dude, i get like 3/4 of my music from skate videos haha

[nawabmevans]

[Nihilism13]

Not much though.

[peacesolidaritylove]

Oh man, I haven't seen anything on the Maple Skateboards company in forever. I'm gonna dig video days out of my box of vhs tapes.

[killerkiddan]

maple was a while ago man. they went out in like '02 or '03 i think. never rode any of their boards but they had a few of the best skaters of right now.

[SNICKolaus]

(makes me wanna go right out and skate)

[SNICKolaus]

just awesome

[Danilio2020]

Sick

[GetAidsTheFunWay]

This whole vhs video was beyone awesome. I lost my copy and I'm very pissed about that.

[thbs35]

That was a pretty good part.

Marc Johnson is still killing it.

Those nollie hardflips are nice.

[GoldenMarmasacc]

switch 360 fs flip????? wtf

all hail marc!!!

[parisisaflippindike]

he was and is so good. all except the ender...and even after seeing that i wanted some whipped cream hahahahahaha

[Brem101]

best lookin feet in the biz

[Degeneratedjohnny]

Damn. Definitely one of the most underrated skaters out there. good shit

[dtj16]

how the fuck is he underrated?

having enders in one of the biggest videos ever.

winning skater of the year ect ect

[augie666]

degen is just not smart man... lol

[Nihilism13]

Haha, yeah. What the fuck are you talking about? He's not underrated by any means... You are ridiculous!

[chinanigans]

wow, that was just crazy, too old for me though

[ihave2]

these old video fisheyes trip me out, ha, but marcs the man

[hilostudios]

Wow I had this video a long time ago, I might still have it somewhere. Maple use to have a bunch of good skaters at one point but I'm not sure what happened to the company.

[mrmarrrc]

provably the best skater in the world..

[technine888]

damn this shit is old. i wonder how old it is?

[JuanMartinezworrd]

it was made in like 1996

[sinister6sinister]

nevermind- *some velvet morning*

[sinister6sinister]

this song is badass- any body know that one?

[jesuslizardchrist]

dam whats up with the pants he wears the same ones in the whole vid it annoys me but its a really good part

[austinisahero]

3:18 proves he invented the hardflip back tail

[austinisahero]

was he on emerica when this video came out?

[KeithWhalen11]

3:59 is too funny! Look at that lens! Technology has come quite a way since then hasn't it?

[kolona45]

bakc when marc had hair! lol

props though!

[gbrendan]

hmmm.. i thought maple was still around

[Bubbleboy1314]

nice nose maual nollie fronside flip out. Hes always been good

[LTownSk83r]

dude matc johnson doesn't skate that many rails on stairs anymore(fully flared)

he's mostly all about manuels now

[jeffkavsk8]

wrong

[GHOSTranger2345]

omg nollie hardflips back then! so sick!

[irepresentfool]

Why does every one think these tricks were advanced in 95... This was the first skate video I ever owned. I used to watch it every day back in 1996. I learned how to ollie watching this video. Rodney Mullen invented 3/4 of the tricks in this video in the 80's. These tricks had been around for years and years. Just because you didn't know what skateboarding was until tony hawks pro skater and ryan sheckler was on mtv does not mean that people weren't skating for decades perfecting this sport.

[human1222]

yea but no one likes rodney mullen so no one cared

[nolliefingers]

no one likes rodney mullen? do you skate? cause if you do rodney probably invented some of the tricks you can do. rodney mullen invented FLATGROUND and Street skateboarding. all of flatground and street (which is pretty much anything anbody does nowadays) came from or had some conection to rodney. i personally love rodney mullen. friggin poser

[worstse]

good for rodney

but really, quit riding his dick

[beanegro1]

for real though, rodney invented them and now every does them 10× better than he ever did. to be fair though he seems like a nice guy

[alan13ryan]

that was just amazing....the first section was so relaxing to with with the music and the slow-mo shots.....that part is up to todays standard and its nearly 19yo...SW flip nose manual to fakie tre out, amazing

[skaterfreak4life]

wow just crazy...

[skatemore81]

some of those fisheye shots were just ridiculous but one of the best parts ive ever seen, tre flip lip a handrail in '95???

[Nightspeeds]

THanks for uploading

[salvadorliz]

holy shit, hard to believe all this was 95

[skaterisland]

who the fuck let this guy do these tricks that long ago?

[poteznido]

I still can't believe this came out in '95.

The second part with Nina Simone is golden

[OTISREDMONKEY]

Nancy Sinatra?

[threalFannyC]

So marc did have hair once!! if that was filmed on todays cameras that would beat most parts today! the creamed marc and the end of this is hilarious !!!! he hee he!!!

[DonJonesBeats]

[jacobjacobjacob13]

[choopaloopa33]

[fvidalh]

do any of you retards really realize how amazing Marc Johnson is? this footage is from like mid 90's MID FUCKING 90's !!! he was way advanced for that time, and he is even more advanced for the present time. i mean he was doing switch 360 fs flip, 360 flip to lipslide, kickflip back tail to rail, manuals 360 flip and hardflip out, wtf??? realize that people where doing pressure flips and skating curbs at that time

[zeallright]

What???

I tought he was born whit no hair!!

[xjwendtx]

I was riding maple decks back in these days. Sad that they are gone now.

[beanegro1]

no they aren't wtf?? i know like 3 people with one

[Battlefield2Pilot]

Was the Hubba Hideout at beginning?

[TTEREVE]

Quimby..... Big 3 step.. stupid guard rails..

[musicizgood]

[DodGe111594]

ha thats the intermission from monty python and the holy grail. Oh yeah and what the hell is he doing at the end?!

[billsmithhh]

Switch 360 Fs flips, Hardflip back tails, switch hardflips?? Hes doing all this shit decades ago! Marc Johnson was so ahead of his time, no wonder he's such a good sk8er now. His FF part is ridiculous.

[AlexWangombe]

and did you see the boardslide to bs 5-0? my jaw hit the ground on that one

[fish52986]

watch the fakie back tail at 2:01 and than watch his fakie back tail in fully flared he does in that line before the switch backside flip.

[AlexWangombe]

which section of the video is it? cause i just watched all three and don't feel like goin back to look for it

[theqbfan]

lasik wishes he could even do any of hes tricks on tony hawks and MJ was doin all these crazy shit back in 95!!!!!!!!!! with hair!!!!!!!!! hahaha

[treasure1983]

andy mcdonald and bucky lasik r way better than this guy

[nopopoch]

i dont get how you can even compare them, they skate vert and marcs a tech street guy

[trevianflowers]

[danJR]

the most extreme fisheye ever at 400

[olisaoli]

Did anybody notice the tricks he was doing? Nollie hardflip and switch 360 fs flip!? Marc johnson definitely deserves skater of the year back in the day, but got it in 07 instead.

[seel5]

doh! i missed the switch 360 fs flip! i didn't know those were possible. i mean, i've seen a normal fs flip, but not a one after a ss 360.

[lazypirat]

the music sucks but the video shoud be good if switch music

[JaJakeen]

you can suck on nina simone's nina

[bilbob0098]

Why is skating to elevator music? Is it so we'll pay more attention to the skating?

[flipperpino]

[sk8mafiawayoflife666]

its from 96 all the tricks are ahead of there time

[toynazi]

[clattybrown]

Brilliant video, Im a non s8ter but even I can see this guy can skate as I can breathe air, a natural.

The music is absolute tops, fantastic and I see you caught the a YETI ha ha Great vid / Music 50 stars

[SydLennon79]

[skatedemon619]

[bigpunholla]

Marc is so sick. All of his parts are great and he's a demo beast. The switch hardflip at 1:18 is so nice.

[LekkerSkaten]

Nollie Hardflip !
