This is the longest interview that Marisa had in a magazine that I could find. All of the photos are sick, and the ollie & thread-the-needle sequence from the opposite side of where the clip was filmed really demonstrates how gnarly that spot is. Unfortunately, Chris Nieratko uses most of the interview space to ask her about which skaters she thinks are dreamy, if she's ever "Frenched a dude", and jokes about her and Elissa Steamer fooling around with each other because they skate for the same board brand.
With one video part, Marisa defied all preconceived notions about what women were capable of doing on a skateboard and inspired an entire generation of skaters, similar to how Elissa had done in the 1990s with her Toy Machine video parts. She deserves more recognition for how much impact she had on our culture during her brief time in the industry.
