Wait… you fellas reckon he’s gonna up-and-over that cock blocker of a safety railing & THEN clear that gap?!?
Wild take.
I love it.

I don’t know shit about this, but could he clear a segment of that railing with a cordless angle grinder or something like that? A guy can dream.

Some cocks can be unblocked

Usually takes a trip to a doctor's office, or at least a lot of soda in a small amount of time.

I can’t look  be careful, Tyshawn!

Gram clips get more views than full parts and reach broader audiences. It's an advertiser's wet dream. My wife works in social media marketing and they can pay an influencer $5K for a story and get 2M impressions and ~200K shares OR they can pay that much for a single day ad on a website and get 3M impressions. The shares and engagement are where it's at. Gets and keeps people talking. Whether we like it or not it's more efficient and full lengths are really just for a narrower audience of skaters.

My Dad sent me a picture of TJ ollie'ing over the Ferrari, but he definitely didn't watch Cherry.

Maybe people on Slap don't love King graphics, but I bet once they get more distribution they will become a brand that a lot of kids buy when they're getting one of their first setups just because they've seen a lot of TJ's more "viral" clips.

The problem with using this as a metric is: your dad probably ain't going to buy a King deck.

Anyone trying to sell things on the internet will tell you "views" are meaningless. Traffic isn't a river of gold any more - it's a flood.

Sounds kinda tight: where do I sign up to get wet?

This is true but a lot of the people viewing it will buy supreme clothes and I can definitely see King lining up to follow the FA trajectory, TJ's persona of more of a traditional athlete crossed with all the modelling stuff rather than just a skater and the athletically impressive nature of the stuff he does gives him possibly the most widespread appeal of any skater out right now. Softgoods will be where they make their money for sure but an awful lot of hype beasts buy wall hangers and King graphics are right up their alley, if they do some on trend artist collars on boards they'll sell out easy.

Minimal graphics. Almost blanks. That's what they need.

Like Tony. This is low key the best board I ever had. I got mad tricks on this.







This seller said '89. That's no way. This is in my 1990 promo poster with the gas station shot on the other side. I was doing actual tricks on this. I think it was around the Hobo Tour cuz tech was beginning

Yup, softgoods, sell some Adidas, buy whatever other Venture he gets into.

I also think if any skater is due for a profile level up, it's Tyshawn. I don't think he's quite Nyjah famous but he could easily out do Nyjah in overall popularity since he doesn't have all of the upbinging baggage or the party boy image that hurts and helps the Jah. Of course, 2022 could have been his peak but that sure doesn't seem to be the case.

Here I was thinking they were referring to a literal deluge of ducats & doubloons, while you’re over there thinking they’re talking tinkle typhoons & whatnot.
Perceptions may vary, it turns out: your interpretation sounds kinkier than mine.

That mofos would too. TJ would have been a bad ass additional time traveling guest of mtv sports.

Dan you should go get that japanese skate show. We could call it Dan Cortez's  "Don't Get Focused" and have Andy Roy do all the voices.

Andy Roy is the only thing that could save MTV at this point. We need GG fan videos.

We need an all skatebloarding tv channel. I wanna werk with Ellis. I need to know he really that close to hero? Or is he actually a mean ass jerk pretending to be almost a hero?

[manuduncan]

i agree out of any current skater, tyshawn has potential to have be the most popular but do you think he could overtake prime nyjah levels of popularity without doing xgames/olympic/competition stuff? i feel like that's the big hurdle in getting your name out there to people who don't care about skating
