“Spy, spy, pretty girl. I see you see me through your window” could be considered a perfect metaphor for any Marc Johnson footage; as we stare through a lens at arguably one of the most pleasing styles in the history of skateboarding, he never disappoints us. With near enough perfect timing, MJ defies Bowie’s proclamation of ‘don’t turn your nose up’ by popping a pristine nosebluntslide, with socks and footwear coordinated to the ledge it’s performed on. Perhaps there is also a slight foreshadowing of his Fully Flared ender in the lyrics as this certainly would not be ‘the first or the last’ we see of the trick.
It’s also worth noting that MJ wears about two outfits throughout this part. White Emericas, high socks and cargo shorts with a white tee or baggy cargos and a white tee. This suggests that the part was filmed in a matter of days or MJ was just on a consistent outfit hype (al la Kirchart and even Crockett to an extent).
