Here it is. The argument is to give it to Nyjah. I realize nobody here will agree, but I must make my case.
Nyjah Huston was foisted upon most of our consciousness as a toddler, essentially. He was despised for his little kid style, his contest efficiency, and his so-cal bro-ness. Swap a few of his friends out for "cooler" people, his clothes for "thrift store chic", etc. and you would have this messageboard fawning over his every move. The consistent hate for Nyjah would be impossible to explain to the greater sports world. Skateboarding has a one-in-a-lifetime talent, who has absolutely destroyed Southern California for 15 years, and the greater skateboard intelligentsia turns up their nose at his "gear" and the fact that he eschews indy tastes. Y'all are so silly. The part that he just dropped has more mind melters per capita than any part in a long time.

sender of the year

this thread should be like a NFT or something

He’s obviously got it. Praise jah

every year we inevitably get one guy who's convinced himself supporting a skateboarder with five million instagram followers is some sort of subversive act
You dismiss what you can't refute.

Can you give us an example? There’s like five TJ threads…..
Yeah, sports has no one who’s like the best…but like everyone hates…..
Destroying SoCal has always been high on the list at Thrasher….
-
I thought the N word was banned on this forum.
-
An example of what?
I know Tyshawn is loved here. I love Tyshawn. His pop and style are undoubtedly singular. But he has been loved from the moment he appeared on the scene. Embraced by our tastemakers and deemed cool. Nyjah, on the other hand, has been dismissed from the start.
Mason Silva is from Manhattan Beach so I don't think your regional reference carries much water.

no it works like multiplication not addition. subverting the subvesives is antisubversive, not double subversive
-
Jah should pull a wildcard Elijah Berle fit change and film a full VX slappy/curb part to end the year. Full villain arc. Anyways, does anyone have any unorthodox dishes they are planning for Thanksgiving?

Yeah, nah. Anyways, does anyone have any unorthodox dishes they are planning for Thanksgiving?
Keep that ambrosia as far away from me as possible please good sir.

Nyjah has really turned on the charm this year.

What ever yo say Sinner

nyjah has a hard time winning soty because of his non-core status and spats + sport short combos, but if his nov 30 part is even better than the one he just dropped then he might actually win. honestly if he never gets a soty award it would be kinda sad, he deserves a lifetime achievement soty, only nyjah has been consistently progressing what is possible on massive rails even when it seems like were reaching the peak of whats possible

New thrasher gives away plenty. New part seems like it will be gnarlier. He’s already one-upped his ender
-
Is that Monster video coming out this year? (A sentence I never thought I’d type). If he has anything substantial in there or even a full part then that’s 4 videos in 1 year which has unfortunately been the formula for much of the past decade.
-
I feel like no matter who's soty, this year is kinda special and we're witnessing some skate history
-
Nyjah has really turned on the charm this year.
Agreed, that last part really got me at home...
-
I heard he has like 10 skate pros worth of entire career footage combined thats just unreleased. Goat him.

the premier happened so I would assume so, if he has a full part in that too it would be hard not to give it to him
-
He hasn’t done well at SLS so I don’t think it’s his year
-
Nothing Nyjah, or anyone, has done so far has got people talking or generated as much buzz as Tyshawn subway kickflip, sw ollie picnic table etc. Nyjah is dropping again, but so are Tyshawn and Louie. I still feel like when it’s all said and done Tyshawn is doing tricks that literally only he could do and that sets him apart. I don’t see anyone else blowing minds like TJ does.
-
No thanks. He takes pictures with cops.

forgot about that, the hellride points loss on that 1 second clip is enough to lose him soty.

My point is actually Tyshawn is actually receiving a fair amount of criticism on here…..
Good point on Mason. At the end of the day its actually not who we deem cool…it’s who thrasher thinks is SOTY….

Can any one of you remember Nyjahs August 2020 thrasher cover? Were people hyped?

Seems like everbody was surprised now that we've seen the footage of it.

Big pop is not SOTY to me. The shit some people are putting out way more diverse and as good or better than his footage. Certainly as gnarly and often more gnarly than his big pop skating.Well see cuz more parts are coming from more people are coming.
-
voting for N is like choosing corporations over your local mom and pop store.
dude can get as many tats as he likes, he's always going to look like hes trying to hide fro himself.
-
I wanna normalize short shorts and leggings in skating. My 30+ year old knees would love it
-
N could back tail the rings of saturn and it would still be gross.
-
Let me break it down for you like this:
I think we can all agree the top 5 skaters in contention for SOTY 2022 are (in no order):
- LL
- TJ
- TFunk
- Nigel
- Jeff Carlyle
From this list, I see 2 quarter finals:
- Nigel vs TJ
- Jeff vs TFunk
LL is great, no doubt, but he doesnt have an ender ender. His clips generate no discussion.
The final is going to be between SF Hesh (winner of TFunk vs Jeff) and Going where No Man has Gone Before (TJ vs Nigel).
Honestly, any 4 of these dudes winning is ok with me.
-
Nyjah isnt going to win SOTY. You're fooling yourself if you think he is.

Yea pop is his superpower but you act like his whole part is flatground. Dude is jumping over, down, and across shit, with a few rails and unreasonably tall ledges mixed in. Also i would say kickflipping a 15 foot gap with an active 3rd rail at the end and trains running can hang with any other gnarly trick happening this year. I like Louie and Nyjah is whatever but obviously gnar, but I didn’t see either of them post a “will” in their story this year before trying a trick.

Nyjah will go down as one of the all time greats that never won SOTY. Dude is a legend and goes beyond what anyone can do, but he’ll never get the streets hyped like the other contenders

Agree, I feel like Tyshawn could pull 95% of Nyjah's tricks if he really wanted it, and 95% of Tyshawns skating, especially when he's dropping one of his blockbusters, is completely out of reach to Nyjah. That fact that TJ does the majority of what he does on the most broken NYC spots instead of prefabricated LA parking lots is a factor as well. Smoking himself mid-summer also doesn't help Nyjah's chances. Tyshawn is still out in these streets and ultimately I think The General will have the final say. He's no doubt in LA putting the final hurt in on some monumental spots, terrorizing Nyjah's turf and live streaming it on instagram.

I don't even care for Nyjah but he front feebled over a freeway bridge for shits and giggles. Tyshawn is sick but he not as good at ledges manuals and rails than a shitton of pro skaters and he's not even the best gap / stair skater.His claim to fame is doing the flat ground tricks he does well super big..nothing wrong with that. Just not SOTY to me.

Nothing has gained as much buzz as T-Funk China Banks trick if we are going on that. I feel all the guys mentioned are doing tricks no one else can really do outside of maybe a select group of pros.

Fuck his credibly accused rapist mandala tattoed ass from here to forever. He can frontside bluntside the moon and it wont make a difference. He's a piece of shit, period. Even if you decide to ignore accusations of rape from multiple credible sources, that 8 tricks on multiple rails bullshit doesn't mean a goddamn thing to anyone who isn't already riding his jockstrap.

Never said he couldn't do rails. People are doing enormous rail and tech shit on rails nowadays. He's not even in the conversation of best rail skaters.

Oh really? Does he wax poetic, going on and on about it, without really saying much except to deny the accusations in a very vague manner while simultaneously bragging about how many times he has had sex with girls, being sure to put emphasis on the fact that it was always consensual?

This needs its own thread. I think it's getting lost in the others.
Note: I believe the first reference to '16' is a typo; she's ~23 now, so 19 is the correct age.

I still feel like when it’s all said and done Tyshawn is doing tricks that literally only he could do and that sets him apart. I don’t see anyone else blowing minds like TJ does.
Big pop is not SOTY to me. The shit some people are putting out way more diverse and as good or better than his footage. Certainly as gnarly and often more gnarly than his big pop skating.Well see cuz more parts are coming from more people are coming.
Yea pop is his superpower but you act like his whole part is flatground. Dude is jumping over, down, and across shit, with a few rails and unreasonably tall ledges mixed in. Also i would say kickflipping a 15 foot gap with an active 3rd rail at the end and trains running can hang with any other gnarly trick happening this year. I like Louie and Nyjah is whatever but obviously gnar, but I didn’t see either of them post a “will” in their story this year before trying a trick.
I don't even care for Nyjah but he front feebled over a freeway bridge for shits and giggles. Tyshawn is sick but he not as good at ledges manuals and rails than a shitton of pro skaters and he's not even the best gap / stair skater.His claim to fame is doing the flat ground tricks he does well super big..nothing wrong with that. Just not SOTY to me.
you never seen Blessed, Cherry, or any Supreme video for that matter. Dumbass take, telling me a switch bs 270 lipslide down a handrail makes TJ "not good" at rails.
Yeah, go watched Blessed.
TJ was doing bigflips fs boardslides down rails when he was 12 years old and this dude is telling us he's not good at rails. He just skate what he want to skate

Fuck his credibly accused rapist mandala tattoed ass from here to forever. He can frontside bluntside the moon and it wont make a difference. He's a piece of shit, period. Even if you decide to ignore accusations of rape from multiple credible sources, that 8 tricks on multiple rails bullshit doesn't mean a goddamn thing to anyone who isn't already riding his jockstrap.
Can you site sources for multiple rape claims? What makes them credible, because as far as I can tell, they are strictly rumor with no individual accusing anything.

Note: I believe the first reference to '16' is a typo; she's ~23 now, so 19 is the correct age.

Agree, I feel like Tyshawn could pull 95% of Nyjah's tricks if he really wanted it, and 95% of Tyshawns skating, especially when he's dropping one of his blockbusters, is completely out of reach to Nyjah. That fact that TJ does the majority of what he does on the most broken NYC spots instead of prefabricated LA parking lots is a factor as well. Smoking himself mid-summer also doesn't help Nyjah's chances. Tyshawn is still out in these streets and ultimately I think The General will have the final say. He's no doubt in LA putting the final hurt in on some monumental spots, terrorizing Nyjah's turf and live streaming it on instagram.
Still. I get this uneasy feeling that Nyjah is about to beat us over the head with some psycho shit and I commend him for throwing skateboarding into the acceleration chamber, so many creative types seeing Nyjahs shit and being like damn, okay, I would never step to that so I'll have to push skating in some other way to get recognized. And we all benefit from that.
i’m starting to fear for tyshawn’s safety

^I can't tell if that's a genuine question or trying to throw shade at her statement. In case it's the former: The 16 is clearly a typo. The 6 is directly below the 9 on a number pad, plus she already might have been thinking about 2016, which is stated on the next tweet. She was 19.
If you're trying to imply she's unreliable because she mistakenly stated two different numbers I'm gonna have to adjust my answer.

Yeah, I might have been a little elitist there. My bad. My point is that there definitely are lots of laptops, desktop keyboards, and also keyboard apps for phones/tablets that have 10-keys. The 6/9 typo is as prevalent as it ever was, just like its siblings. Anyway, I'm lame but I shouldn't be "arguing about keyboard layouts on Slap" lame. Let's move on.

Sounded like a pretty believable story from Nyjah’s perspective but I’m definitely not steeped in knowledge on the subject.
I have to admit I believed the rumors without really “looking into” anything

How could he be "pretty sure" his sponsors and the Olympic committee investigated these allegations? Like isn't that something he would know definitively either way?

I’m going to say it- Nyjah is a misogynist jerk but I don’t think there’s very good evidence that he’s a rapist. I’m not saying he’s definitely not a rapist, just that evidence is pretty weak.

Well....chase did walk in on Nyjah fucking a girl (passed out or not), so he's kinda just a dumbass and deserves to be cancelled anyway.
That is, if this Nyjah response is true or not.
Idk. They're all dumb

Ive heard skaters hate on people w/ perfect style which can be also called robot style but theres a difference between the two- perfect is perfect aka no sketchiness and robot style is perfect but stiff. Nyjah does his shit perfect no gross sketchiness and hes not stiff. Not too loose either an example of super loose is darrell stanton but im a big fan of his even though he could've cleaned up a few of his tricks that he did. That recent back tail to fakie by Nyjah for his ender was so perfect and not robot style at all. Hes not tick tacky either w/ his tight trucks i think that was an issue when he was younger but who cares- ur skating should only be judged after ur grown man style has formed.
So yeah these skaters who hate on perfect style- i think some of them at least only like to watch sketchier skating to feel better about themselves. Im not buying the whole 'nyjahs boring to watch' or 'shane oneills boring to watch'. Shane doesnt even have robot style i never got that joke. His skatings perfect and not stiff at all.

If Nyjah win this, his soty trip video edit will be the jockiest of all time. I'm rooting for T-FUNK and I hope he came with another banger of a part.

Louie doesn't deserve it yet for this years output, but I'm excited for his next big part. Either nobody on slap was at the cons video premiere or it simply wasn't that great so nobody talks about it?

The editor of Thrasher is hardposting ten-photo montages of Louie through the years on his feed so frankly I don't think it really matters what happens in which video parts. Is there even a release date for Louie's new part? Are they giving him the final part before the "voting" begins?

Not getting it might work more in his favor to his fans. It sounds counterintuitive, but makes him seem like "the best skater but the industry won't let him have his shine: pure disorder"

This is NO reason to not like him. I just feel like some of his outfits, if I wore them trying to be like him I would look like Rocky, or someone who works at Anytime Fitness.

I really appreciated the traditionally filmed part, not a single zoom in/out the whole time. Definitely a heavy part and hard for anyone to ignore it, especially Thrasher at this point.

I love Louie’s skating- I think he’s the best all around street skater in the world besides Ishod and his style is one of the best ever. But it’s hard to compete against three people going full send with two of them doing historic NBDs already. But I’m excited to see what Louie puts out

Yeah I feel like Louie is somehow in 4th place, just because the other 3 are pushing the risk factor so hard, as you said, but I too am excited to see what he drops next. His skating is immaculate, just obviously isn’t textbook hellride.

Sure, give him SOTY. He's very talented and dominate at handrail skating. However, I personally glaze over after seeing a barrage of handrail clips and lack of any trick creativity. His parts are way too long; the highlights would make a more effective part. I still wouldn't want to watch it again though.
I'd be fine with him getting SOTY because none of my favorites have been SOTY. It's fun to see the campaigns and footage drops though. I'm way more awestruck by Tyshawn and T-Funk though and actually enjoyed watching their video parts. Louie's always a pleasure to watch, but he doesn't come on as strong as the others.

Don’t care how good he is, Nyjah represents everything that sucks about LA influencer culture. My eyes hurt after watching that and it’s not gonna age well.

Yeah, BIGG RAILZ but

“One kickflip” ….you Dog ass, I didn’t say it was better I said it keeps me wanting to see “what else” you somehow learned to write before read. I even said he would probably get it. that’s not mentioning tfunk did one trick (another thrasher cover) that had people talking since the early part of the YEAR not Just TODAY. Getting people talking all year plays a part in all of this. Not just “who’s the sickest in November/December, another example is Chima. So good, great parts. ONLY the end of the year. I’m trying to make a point, not say “what will happen” you are the one riding nyjahs Dick. And he seems capable of MAKING people do that already.

Sure, give him SOTY. He's very talented and dominate at handrail skating. However, I personally glaze over after seeing a barrage of handrail clips and lack of any trick creativity. His parts are way too long; the highlights would make a more effective part. I still wouldn't want to watch it again though.
I'd be fine with him getting SOTY because none of my favorites have been SOTY. It's fun to see the campaigns and footage drops though. I'm way more awestruck by Tyshawn and T-Funk though and actually enjoyed watching their video parts. Louie's always a pleasure to watch, but he doesn't come on as strong as the others.
"no trick creativity"

I looked through their post history and considering they called Nyjah’s NFT thing a scam that he was trying to cover up and that some of their first posts are of an April board on Indys and a Real board I’m going to go ahead and say it’s pretty unlikely that this is Nyjah’s account, unless he’s using it as an outlet for his secret usage of non-sponsorship gear and self criticism of his business attempts. I wish it was his account though, it would be pretty amusing to me if it was uncovered that Nyjah was secretly a slap pal and would honestly make him way cooler in my eyes.

A death defying part, not doubt. Props to Nyjah. Although for me it was just too redundant. I might as well have been watching motocross or megaramp stunts, both of which are incredible and impressive but not very engaging after the first stunt or two IMO. If the consensus is that the pinnacle of skateboarding is doing variations on the biggest rail then he should absolutely get it.
-
I really appreciated the traditionally filmed part, not a single zoom in/out the whole time. Definitely a heavy part and hard for anyone to ignore it, especially Thrasher at this point.
Agreed the filming was a breath of fresh air. Wonder if nyjah himself was desiring for the filming to be this way. Could see that being the case cuz this is the filming style that he grew up watching and its well known that he loved watching skate videos as a kid.
-
I don’t want an (“alleged”) rapist to win SOTY.
-
Man, that last part was pretty heavy.
-
+1 for tyshawn on that comment
-
around the corner through the tree is unbelievable...seems impossible, but i guess there are a grand total of zero people who've spent more time balancing skateboards on rails than El Jah has.
mark mcgwire takes the lead what will sammy sosa do now
love it

I have a feeling this next Louie part is going to be the best of his career so far.

Give my man jah the trophy already

Nyjah gets it or SOTY credibility plummets. That part is too fucking bonkers. How can somebody survive the bails it would take to make this part? I just can't comprehend it.

Jesus Fucking Christ. I'm no big fan of Nyjah but after watching Need This two things are glaringly obvious
1. He's in a whole different galaxy of talent than Tyshawn.
2. He is one of, if not the gnarliest skaters of all time. The rails this fucker skates and the slams he takes are off the charts, even against the prime of Zero, Creature, Antihero, (insert "gnar" company here), etc...

I hate this kook as much as the next guy, but now that I’ve had a chance to watch it a few times and let it sink in; holy fuck, Nyjah is easily the most skilled handrail skater of all time. He’s light years ahead of everyone else.

basically this.
this whole thing is like a litmus test for thrasher: will they give SOTY to a guy whose personality and aesthetics thoroughly grates against the mentality and history of the mag?
Here's a dude that lives in an LA mansion, parties to EDM music, skates contests, wears the worst, most basketball jock-ass fits in the history of our culture, sells NFTs, has an insanely long list of non-skating sponsors, is a literal instagram influencer, and consistently attaches himself to the most empty and artless visuals. You could say this directly goes against the image of Thrasher and the things they espouse, or at least did at one point.
But on the other hand, this latest part shows that he's easily one of the most skilled, consistent, driven, and fearless dudes to ever step on the board and someone that is going bigger than almost anyone right now.
So would they give someone SOTY solely based on skill,stair count, and minutes of footage, and ignore everything about this dude off the board?
My gut says no. TJ is doing groundbreaking skating while being at least 50 times less corny as a human being. I think that matters to Thrasher still.
-
Can a person be SOTY if they
- do the worst fakie shuv in a line?
- include a clip that shows how poorly they can backside powerslide, despite being the “best” skater out there?
- bring their own cute little wedge ramp to skate a rail?
- blatantly knock down a photographer’s flash after landing a trick at clipper?
- claim in an old interview “that skateboarding is not for girls at all. Not one bit.”
He’s skilled, but intolerable. I doubt I’ll ever watch that part again. I’d love to see anyone else win soty.

I saw a nice bs poweslide in there and I was pleasantly surprised, no Eddie Cernicky but fuck it the man can slide.
He fucked clipper up, not a real street part unless you break some equipment
I saw 2 bad bs powerslides in the same line.
Breaking some equipment when a board shoots out is different than running into a flash stand after a trick for no reason.

You are oblivious to the life of a skate photographer. Those dudes pay for all their own gear. Monster and/or Nike aren't paying for shit.
Dan Z shot those sequences, and even though he works for Thrasher, I guarantee Dan bought that gear himself.

There's the calculation of "I perfected this movement by doing it 2000 times in my training facility, so I just have to transfer my existing skill to these slightly different surroundings", and the calculation of "I've had enough beers to have the courage, but not too many to fall off my board pushing." I'd argue those are very different.

The man can slide and the man can shifty, that nollie backside overcrook. He brings a level of moto cross to skating and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. His style can be dope when he isn't taking himself so seriously and dime challenges his landings

While there is no denying his athletic prowess, skill, drive, other compliments and superlatives or how "gnarly" he is, IMO this was bland.

nyjah is a lot like that band chon. yeah, shit is hard, but only total losers like it.
that part could have been 7 minutes shorter. i forced myself through it.
whatever booger nonsense he did on the dylan rail is a travesty.

Can a person be SOTY if they
- do the worst fakie shuv in a line?
- include a clip that shows how poorly they can backside powerslide, despite being the “best” skater out there?
- bring their own cute little wedge ramp to skate a rail?
- blatantly knock down a photographer’s flash after landing a trick at clipper?
- claim in an old interview “that skateboarding is not for girls at all. Not one bit.”
He’s skilled, but intolerable. I doubt I’ll ever watch that part again. I’d love to see anyone else win soty.
Lol what a reach, praise ‘Jah people like you aren’t responsible for picking SOTY.
Legendary part.
That's a real quote from 9jah himself. So we should ignore that? Or you support what he said?
-
Gnarliest part of the year, possibly of all time. But it doesn't seem to me like rail chomping is what 2022 skating is about. This part is like a great album in a subgenre that went out of style already.
-
Seeing that the only other guy really in the conversation is tyshawn and he‘s gotten the award before I support Nyjah for SOTY. I never thought I would write that. Ha ha. Not giving it to the gnarliest and most skilled skater of this generation just becomes bullying at some point. He‘s an athlete skater I get it, but they also fucking gave it to Chris Cole. Twice!
Yes, as a lot of people have pointed out he‘s said and done a lot of stupid things, but he is basically a former child superstar. Not to excuse everything he‘s done, but his childhood must have been fucked up. I find it pretty amazing he seems to channel all that into skateboarding still.

we still have yet to see what tyshawn has left for us, i am on the fence for that reason. if it were to be right now, i’m saying nyjah (which i also never thought i would say). i like both of their stories honestly. they both came from not much & built themselves into superstars. nyjah obviously had the dad helping coach him, his dad also left his family though & stole a whole video part from him when he was like 12 that includes a kickflip back lip down wilshire 15. me personally, not that i can say for sure but, i would imagine this would put a bad taste in my mouth for skateboarding and demotivate me to a point where i might find another way of proving myself. not just for my own motives of being great but also to my dad for what he did & to provide for my family. instead, he was so addicted that he couldn’t stop, his mom spent all of the money they had to take him to his first sls contest where they couldn’t even afford a hotel for the night (rob dyrdek ended up paying for it, it’s discussed in his new nine club) & then he won. continued to win & make money to take care of his mom & brothers, ended up starting his own brand & being one of if not the gnarliest street skateboarders of all time, as well as one of the most successful financially & without a doubt competively. tyshawn came from new york with not very much money as well. ends up on huge billboards in times square, modeling for huge companies, starts his own restaurant with his mother’s cooking (from what i’ve heard), got soty, started his own brand as well & is also one of the best street skateboarders of all time. it really is a pretty beautiful competition between the two in terms of what they have overcome & then gone on to accomplish. it can go either way & i won’t be upset at all. nyjah has enough trophies but, i think this is the one he dreams of more than any & tyshawn already has one. then again if tyshawn gets it, he’s the first black man to be double champion. no matter how it plays out i think it’s beautiful. fuck, split it in half & call it a day.

If Danny got it because of that megaramp part then NH deserves it the same way.

Daily reminder: he will drop one more heavy part this year
It will be released on the Monster Energy Channel and future him and GT slaying big rails and stairs in Europe

Even did the bs flip over a motorcycle into the hillbomb to be hellride enough for SOTY.

People quoting his thrasher interview from years ago as a reason he doesn’t deserve to be soty now are amazing. Basically saying they don’t believe in rehabilitation or growth and current progress doesn’t count because of past mistakes.
All your legends were statutory rapists,bullies, homophobes but he has one dumb tough guy opinion as a kid and that invalidates his running this year?
-
How old was he when he said it? And maybe that sort of talk came from his Dad. Hard to blame a young kid for comments like that when it's the way he may have been brought up.
But if he still holds such views, then that is not on.

I hate this kook as much as the next guy, but now that I’ve had a chance to watch it a few times and let it sink in; holy fuck, Nyjah is easily the most skilled handrail skater of all time. He’s light years ahead of everyone else.
I don’t mean to single you out, but I keep seeing this sentiment posted here and uhhh, wasn’t this already obvious? Prior to yesterday’s video, was there anyone who suggest Nyjah wasn’t the best handrail skater in the history of skating, and he has been for like the past 15 or so years? I’m sorry, but I thought this was obvious and baked in to every conversation about Nyjah’s talent.

everyone knew it but the perception of how good he was didnt do him enough justice. that last part one upped his own expectations. a career defining part, nyjah's mona lisa, and hes not even done for the year. if the rest of his footage this year is at the same level and he loses soty he will have essentially lost the cool contest/fashion show

No I think a lot of people (like myself) pretty much just dismissed Nyjah and didn't think about him at all outside of the contest world.
Something I want to know now, what is he riding? Dude has no truck or wheel sponsors. He's obviously riding thunders, probably 148 (hollow?) lights. He's of ricta, wheels look like bones v2 or v3 shape?

Maybe he’ll help out the photographer for the gear. It’s still an asshole move to break good equipment.
I guarantee he'd buy the photographer a new flash. On his IG story a few months ago, he accidentally ran over some kids iPhone that he left on the ground. Nyjah went out of his way to buy the kid a new one the same day.
The people bringing up a quote from 10 years ago just shows people are grasping at anything to invalidate this guy. His style isn't my cup of tea either but I want him to win based on his skating, not his lifestyle.

That’s interesting. I am largely indifferent to Nyjah and big rail skating, and I do not follow competitive skateboarding at all, but I thought everyone understood that, like him or not, he’s the biggest rail chomper in history. Just catching the occasional throwaway Instagram clip was enough or his parts throughout the years made that abundantly clear.

As has been explained here by people who claim to know how it works (and why not, we know that there are skate industry insiders posting here), they count votes in the early rounds, but even then they don't let their favorites get knocked out. And the final selection is made by the editor, which is how Tyshawn won for a part that no one had seen.
-
It’s a crazy part but I still think the two guys with historic NBDs are still very much in the the running - those tricks are just more memorable. Sure they couldn’t have put out this part but Ninejah isn’t switch ollieing a table or blasting China Banks either.
But who knows what other crazy stuff SOTY Santa is bringing in December.
-
Tyshawn didn’t deserve SOTY the first time, he robbed Evan Smith of it, and as of now he doesn’t this time either. Popping over high obstacles takes skill but is way less risky than what Jah is doing. I’m hoping Louie or T-Funk come out swinging fucking hammers, but so far Nyjah has my vote. Never thought I’d say that but here we are.

He is playing w death
In an absolute sense, sure. If he were to somehow clip on a tall ledge and drop head-first to the flat, that would end very badly. But he won't. His physical abilities allow him to do this stuff so consistently that he won't bail in a life-altering way. Before anyone gets mad, yes, I saw the slams, they're gnarly, I realize he "pays the price". But it's all relatively controlled. He simply knows how to avoid uncontrollable slams in compromising positions. That's a movement skill in and of itself and can be practiced, as we as skaters have all done. Most of us can take a tumble at any time without repercussions, but people who've never learned how to fall often get seriously injured. It comes down to the good ol' difference between danger and risk: The danger (=the consequences IF something goes wrong) is high, but the risk (=the chances of this actually happening) is comparatively low because Nyjah is so freaking good at skating rails. I'd argue that guys like Gabe Summers who have more of a "let's hope for the best" approach are at a higher risk of fatal consequences than Nyjah is, even though his tricks are objectively much harder. He's just got this rail shit figured out.

There is always a risk of of serious injury or death. Nobody is in 100% control and anyone who thinks that is a narcissist.
-
Of course. That's why I wrote the risk is "comparatively low", not "zero". I'm simply stating that Nyjah is more skilled at what he does than others and can therefore manage spots with a higher danger factor and still have a lower or comparable risk factor. I can jaywalk without much risk because I can run if I need to. My fat and immobile dad can't and faces a much higher risk of getting run over. It's really not that difficult to grasp.

Has any pro skater ever died from skating a handrail? I can’t think of anyone.
Hill bombs or mega ramp accidents seem much more likely to kill you. Either way there are plenty of SOTYs who won with much less risky output.

Let's not forget Tyshawn is skating some incredibly dangerous shit, people love to tell themselves he just skates around in circles on a basketball court. That 360 flip from ledge to ledge over a street gap of sharp swords for example is beyond hairball
-
^Absolutely. The metro kickflip is actually a great example of what I mean. The absolute danger is enormous (touching the third rail), but Tyshawn is so great at clearing gaps that he is at a significantly lower risk than others would be.
I don't want to make this whole thing about whose skating is more dangerous or risky though. If that was the deciding factor, we'd all be watching them dudes in these flying squirrel suits crashing into mountains. I just wanted to point out that most pros know what the fuck they're doing and take calculated risks. There would be a much larger body count if they "played with death" regularly.

My point is that we don’t need to celebrate terrible humans even if they’re highly skilled. But that happens all the time in sports.

Well he apologized 9 years ago right after it happened.
“I want to apologize for the remarks I made in Thrasher about female skateboarders,” he wrote. “What I meant was that skateboarding is a gnarly sport, in general, and as someone who knows the wrath of the concrete all too well, I don’t like the thought of girls (like my little sister) getting hurt. My words were an inaccurate reflection of who I am; more importantly, they were disrespectful and I genuinely regret them.”
Who do you look up to? I don't think anyone should consider Nyjah a role model but I'd love to know the saints who are your heroes?

I think the difference is the filming/editing didn't immediately turn me off this time. It's far from perfect, but whenever Ty Evans does his thing, I immediately lose interest. I'll usually just skip to the last few bangers and never watch the part again. I felt like this one was a bit more tolerable to my pallet and I was able to watch it 2-3 times and appreciate it for what it was, top-tier rail chomping. I still prefer watching Yuto, Foy, and more styling rail skaters; but it's clear Nyjah is on another level skill-wise.

The votes don't actually count (and that's a good thing?) or Nyjah would have won 10 times already. Dude has 5 million followers on instagram.
I seriously doubt the votes don’t matter, and I don’t think his name was even listed last couple of times. But the videos posted on Thrasher so it’s irrelevant anyway. Sure Nike just wanted first dibs.
As has been explained here by people who claim to know how it works (and why not, we know that there are skate industry insiders posting here), they count votes in the early rounds, but even then they don't let their favorites get knocked out. And the final selection is made by the editor, which is how Tyshawn won for a part that no one had seen.
not completely sure what you meant by that last sentence but Tyshawn's "Blessed" part had been out for weeks at the time and was even hosted on the Thrasher site for a 48/72 hour period shortly thereafter

If Nyjah didn't heavily calculate his tricks, he could literally die skating the obstacles that he skates. This guy literally puts his neck on the line day in and day out.
he curates them though

I'm not big on making somebody pay for something stupid they said for the rest of their lives, especially when they've apologized for it.
I used to do a lot of meth combined with a lot of GHB...if anyone had given two shits about who I was oh man I would have definitely said some interesting stuff during an interview.
Fortunately for me I was, and still am, a nobody.

The fact that Nyjah's "Need That" Nike SB part was released through Nike's Youtube channel and not exclusively through Thrasher tells you everything you need to know about his SOTY chances.
You’re probably onto something here, but wasn’t the part that sealed Jamie Foy’s SOTY from some weird Ty video that was released outside of Thrasher as well?

^That's exactly what I was talking about. Everybody calculates their tricks, Nyjah simply does it on the highest level when it comes to rail skating. He knows what he's capable of and performs accordingly, not unlike his Nike athlete brethren.

Tyshawn didn’t deserve SOTY the first time, he robbed Evan Smith of it, and as of now he doesn’t this time either. Popping over high obstacles takes skill but is way less risky than what Jah is doing. I’m hoping Louie or T-Funk come out swinging fucking hammers, but so far Nyjah has my vote. Never thought I’d say that but here we are.
Search the apocrypha for this anecdote - Reynolds said Evan Smith turned down the SOTY honor because skating isn’t a competency

To me it means precision. Practicing the trick for a long ass time till u got it dialed. Never saw anything wrong w/ it cuz thats how u end up w/ good style.

Apologies if you interpreted what I said as a critique but was just looking to clarify.
You said it "wasn't seen by anybody" which isn't necessarily true.
The video was available for weeks prior, just behind a paywall, which in the current landscape may be more atypical, but considering all of the trophy winners prior to the digital age, winning for a part not readily available online is not all that unusual (and is actually probably a good idea to incentivize people in supporting skate media rather than expecting it).

People quoting his thrasher interview from years ago as a reason he doesn’t deserve to be soty now are amazing. Basically saying they don’t believe in rehabilitation or growth and current progress doesn’t count because of past mistakes.
All your legends were statutory rapists,bullies, homophobes but he has one dumb tough guy opinion as a kid and that invalidates his running this year?
What has he done to show that believes anything different than that quote? Has he supported girl skaters in any meaningful way? If he’s shown growth or rehabilitation, I’ll accept it.
My point is that we don’t need to celebrate terrible humans even if they’re highly skilled. But that happens all the time in sports.
Nice assumptions about who I might’ve looked up to. You don’t know me.
I would say putting women on the team is a sign he’s grown. Idk if he pays his ams but Roos has been riding disorder for a while now.

Pals. Those two parts Nigel just put out were groundbreaking in today's skateboard standards.
If you look at the tricks and the spots skates, he is in his own league. He does some of the most difficult rail manoeuvres ever to be done on a skateboard. His Ledge game is also pretty heavy.
The clothing style…Anything goes in skateboarding in this day and age.
Hosoi, Cab, Greco etc. was also rocking some questionable outfits in the early age.
Chill with the hate, he is a skateboarder like the rest of us.

^Hard agree. I'm seriously bummed out right now because the clips just look so fucking wack compared to what actually went down. This style of filming might make me jumping a 5 stair more palatable, but c'mon dude. Can't do that with historic nbds at iconic spots. And even if you somehow insist on getting your zoom on, have a 2nd angle for the people who want to see the trick, not the shoes. I'm usually trying to be positive on here, but man, Bill sucks.

At this stage, Nyjah not getting SOTY would hurt the award more than it would him.

just watched his 'disruption', 'shine on' and 'need that' parts back to back for the sake of assessing his 2022 output as a whole - and it's pretty fucking comical.
even if those 22 minutes of footage represented his entire career it'd still be bonkers. about 50% of his clips are just straight up ender level.
don't really want to sound like i'm writing a love letter to nyjah or anything, but it'd be a shame to overlook a don bradman style generational talent just because he likes short shorts and being a bro.

Gotta agree. I don’t even like the guy but I also don’t think anyone- not even Yuto or Ishod could put all that into one part. No one has ever had that many rail tricks.
It’s crazy that dude wasn’t even in the conversation a month ago now I don’t see how anyone tops that part. TJ would have to kickflip a school bus or TFunk would have to boneless into the Transamerica pyramid at this point to claim a better year.

Calculated, to me, doesn't necessarily mean "bad". In fact, in this case, there's no chance in hell I'm going to say that the skating on display here is not top notch. OBVIOUSLY everyone plans nearly everything especially in regards to working through a trick.
It's when a part feels like it was assembled from a spreadsheet that cross-references "chances to be named SOTY" with "exotic/crazy locations" and "NBD?" that it begins to feel obnoxious.
Editing may honestly have more to do with it than anything else. When EVERY. SINGLE. TRICK. hits on the downbeat of the song being used, it's honestly fucking lame and boring and feels like we're watching a video premiere on Total Request Live with Carson Daily.
I can't believe this is that hard of a concept to grasp, quite honestly.
For reference, see Suciu. The skating is fucking amazing and groundbreaking, but there's absolutely no sense of the person being in the moment. It's a style and I simply said it's not for me. No reason to get all upset over an opinion.
Go listen to some Sun Ra and then go listen to something on your local contemporary adult smooth jazz station. One of these things will feel calculated to the point of having literally no soul. Nyjah is contemporary adult smooth jazz.
-
chiming into the "calculated" debate - progressing what's possible on a skateboard has been valued in the culture, but another equally important thing has been style. progressing what's possible is a fairly easy calculation, just add more difficulty. style is not like that. Gustav has style, Suciu is a progression master. The Z-boys had style and the people doing the most 360s were progressing what's possible. Hosoi had style and Hawk was progressing the tricks.

Can a person be SOTY if they
- do the worst fakie shuv in a line?
- include a clip that shows how poorly they can backside powerslide, despite being the “best” skater out there?
- bring their own cute little wedge ramp to skate a rail?
- blatantly knock down a photographer’s flash after landing a trick at clipper?
- claim in an old interview “that skateboarding is not for girls at all. Not one bit.”
He’s skilled, but intolerable. I doubt I’ll ever watch that part again. I’d love to see anyone else win soty.
I doubt that the photographers getting paid to shoot nyjah have to worry about things like flashes falling over to be honest
Maybe he’ll help out the photographer for the gear. It’s still an asshole move to break good equipment.
I guarantee he'd buy the photographer a new flash. On his IG story a few months ago, he accidentally ran over some kids iPhone that he left on the ground. Nyjah went out of his way to buy the kid a new one the same day.
The people bringing up a quote from 10 years ago just shows people are grasping at anything to invalidate this guy. His style isn't my cup of tea either but I want him to win based on his skating, not his lifestyle.
Someone out of frame could've been sitting there and caught it before it hit the ground as well. People really grasping at straws to hate nigel.

I don't care if they're all "bangers" and "enders," it was 95% rail clips and I just glazed over. That's not even taking his style into consideration, which really seals the deal.

Don’t want to comment on his fits, style or „personality“ I understand if some makes jokes about it, or don’t feeling it. I watch all his parts 2-3 times to understand fully what he have done.
But then never again - it’s not fun / inspiring to watch his parts.
But everyone who ever jumped on rail or >8 stairs will have respect what Njyah is doing with his skateboard.
He is delivering since nearly 2 decades since he is a very little kid gnarliest top shelf skateboarding.
Skateboarding never was about biggest, highest, fastest or „best“, - it was always about personality and style.
But we shoud keep in mind that skateboarding „best„ never received the full respect of the Szene in there active career: Hawk, Mullen, Chris Cole, Daewon Song,
all of them where shittalked because of lacking style / personality- because they where busy focusing on giving there best skateboarding ever and pushing boundaries.
We - as skateboarders- are having a shit talking culture.
Never a Nyjah fan - but he belong on this best ever list.
And people in 20 years will not gave fuck about his shorts / quotes as a teenager.
Even Hosoi become retrospective a style icon - and nobody woud rock his fits from the 80s. His zebra spandex where much heavier then everything Nyjah or Tyshawn woud ever where in public space.
Sometimes his father need to shut up him - because he was talking such BS.
But at the end of the career - your output in skateboarding will last. And there are not manny able do outdo Nyjah on this silly game we call skateboarding.

Nyjah is like the Brazzers of skating.
Extremely hard and robotic shit with some modifications

So far I’ve noticed a massive lack of Nyjah’s asscheeks photoshopped onto anything in this thread..

No thanks. He takes pictures with cops.

Choosing SOTY is usually a completely subjective decision. Not this year. Nyjah is objectively skater of the year. I honestly think anyone who doesn't agree is lying or doesn't understand skateboarding.

i dont really care about SOTY anymore, giving the prize to Nyjah would kill it off and end it for real, he doesnt represent skating the way Thrasher portrays it at all and giving it to him would just be the final nail for the tradition aspect of the award.
Half of his footage is on Element boards, thats probably all of his footage from the last few years or everything he saved up for Ty's documentary, its not like this is the year where he ripped most. its just the year his sponsors decided to push hard for SOTY.

I think when he tried to bs flip El Toro.
Never mind, didn't realise he sat on that clip for years before releasing, so most likely one of his clips in his 'Til Death part.

It's Nyjah week over at the Berrics. SOTYs dont fuck with Berrics plain and simple. End of discussion
That was a month ago dude, it’s cariuma week now

Does anybody know when SOTY party is? Surely the invitations have been sent by now, and we all know half the industry lurks here. So spill the juice, industry heads.

Obviously King Jah takes it. He still has another part coming.
Shouldn’t be long before King skateboarding bites his I&I steez with some hallie salassie rasta decks for sure
-
Should go to Jah. Tyshawn is dope but he's won it already, plus his clips are vomit inducing due to Fat Bill and Fat Bill inspired filming. Ty Evans is almost as bad but at least I can see the trick, spot and skater all clearly. Plus just due to shere difficulty level Jah is kicking ass, especially that last part.

fakie big spin switch bs noseblunt was pretty tasteful actually
yeah those few fakie front big spin tricks he did were sick. nobody really does those.

The fact he won it already and doesn't even need it is what makes it so impressive. Nyjah needs it like Mark Suciu needed it. The Ty evans part was full of nauseating shots and fake sound effects but I will agree Strobecks filming has somehow gotten worse. And Nyjah's last part was psycho.
I'm just seeing Nyjah sitting and talking about his part on Berrics and Tyshawn sitting and talking about his part on Thrasher and don't really know how else to interpret that.
Imagine a phone call where Berra is calling up Tyshawn or T-Funk trying to get them to come hang out and the laughter / clowning that would ensue. Meanwhile Jah has Berrics on speed dial.
-
i dont really care about SOTY anymore, giving the prize to Nyjah would kill it off and end it for real, he doesnt represent skating the way Thrasher portrays it at all and giving it to him would just be the final nail for the tradition aspect of the award.
Half of his footage is on Element boards, thats probably all of his footage from the last few years or everything he saved up for Ty's documentary, its not like this is the year where he ripped most. its just the year his sponsors decided to push hard for SOTY.
That might've been true for Thrasher a few years ago but they just ran a 20-page interview feature, promoted parts, cover, etc...I'd say they're down with the Jah now, SOTY wouldn't be a huge surprise.
Good point re: Element boards, surprised I haven't seen this come up more - obviously everyone stashes clips for a big drop but some of those must be 2+ years old lol...bit excessive but whatever I liked the part
*idk how to embed caption, quitting element was January 2021

The Berrics scenario is hilarious and awful obviously but NyJaw probably has Thrasher (at least Atiba...) on speed dial too, latest article was lots of questions/photos from the same part:

Who was it that talked about the 10 year rule in skateboarding? Bill’s first video with Tyshawn and supreme is 10 years old and Nyjah started winning street league 12 years ago….eerie
-
The stuff Nyjah dropped this year is probably the gnarliest, most difficult skating we may ever see. I’m not sure anyone will ever try that hard and put together that body of work….namely because we don’t give a shit….
That said…give him the stupid award…there’s nothing else really going on this year.
-
Just went to Thrasher and saw his "Monster Sidemission" part posted and gave an audible sigh. Watched it anyway. Nyjah just looks like exactly what he is - someone who trains to skate in a skatepark. I just can't register his skating no matter how gnarly it is, just looks like he's skating in Street League. He'll probably get SOTY, good for him. At least it would mean we probably won't get his annual campaign parts anymore.
-
If Nyjah wins, Ty Evans needs to send a really nice cheese and wine basket to Burnett. His doc on Nigel truly would be saved. NEED THAT.

Can't judge people for getting their money but if you're in an energy drink hat 24/7 you really shouldn't win SOTY. Jamie Foy got a pass because he's a cool guy but it makes me cringe every time i see that stupid redbull hat. At least Nyjah's Monster trucker hats are blatantly heinous, Foy tries to play it off by wearing super beat up neutral toned ones that leave a bad taste in my mouth
the amount of people jumping on the Nyjah soty bandwagon is insane I understand his part was fucked but it almost feels astroturfed (not saying it is but shit man people just turned 180 degrees on the guy instantly)

I’m with you, especially when there’s three other skaters at least who deserve it this year. Nyjah would be a good pick if he dropped his Nike part in a less competitive year.
Nyjah winning would be very La Coste x Thrasher. Jake Phelps wasn’t the first EIC, but he became the mascot for the brand and set the template for what a SOTY should be. TFunk is so the obvious SOTY pick. If Thrasher goes elsewhere, it’s final confirmation you really do need a shoe sponsor to win.

The man put out a twelve minute part of the most insane handrail skating ever. I don’t have to like his skating to admit it’s a crazy achievement and if he gets the award that’s ok. It’s not a conspiracy

The comments about energy drinks are hilarious because of course SOTY legends Ishod and GT both skate for Monster Energy, and half this forum is rooting for underdog TJ Rogers, who wears a Red Bull hat.

You know what you're right. I wish I could take my vote back.
It's just the way that Nigel treats other humans (probably animals too). I can't separate the skating from the man.
Also the board bland was on my mind. You think he likes crusts? D beat? Grindcore? Even street Ponk?
Probably not.
To me it looks like he took old Selfish shit and went to Portland found the NPC with the longest dreds and the most banjos and stray dogs and was like here's a dollar re draw please.
Next thing you know we got a mind-blown imogi that looks like a napalm death cover.
Do you think he'd be nice to me or would he be like USELESS PONK BE GONE! I don't care if you've been skating 100 years you're not getting in this party! Go sit outside with your little buddy from Boston and beg for drink tickets or something yo.
If I was rich like Nigel I'd be poor immediately because I'd put all my money into the issues of our community.
He'd probably be like get the fuck outa here you pinko biach.
The world don't run on hopes and dreams cuck.
-
Being true to yourself is important. Or at least putting on the appearance that you're staying true to what you are is a soty must.
I like his recent out fits. I know that might sound like bull shit but I think he looks good.
I respect his shoe game though I'm not a big fan of most Nike stuff.
I want to try that new shoe very badly too. I like the design this time. I wanna paint a pair with my secret sauce and watch them get all scratched up. I think that would look crazy Ponk. So he hit the mark there.
There no way I could ever afford that shoe tho.
That Skating is unparalleled.
I have no problem admitting that he's top 5 greatest rail chompers of all times. Maybe top 3 but
the board bland and all the accusations make him not SOTY worthy in my opinion.
He must repent and return next year. I definitely want to see him keep trying.
I want him to loosen his trucks half a turn tho. That push is getting worse and worse and worse.
I been saying it since around 2015 so I'm not like just talking about that one recent line.
Pushing matters yo

The one thing I really admire about nyjah's public private life is he stood up to his father.
I was so afraid of my dad growing up. The times I did stand up to him all I got was homelessness tho.

I'm glad this genius decided to make this account AFTER his PR let him speak on the issue and not in the last 5 years when it would have made sense. Dude running the account probably thinks he's doing groundbreaking work but is just reposting old news, ill give him the benefit fo the doubt that he's just a typical fried numbskull u see at the skatepark

How exactly would he go about clearing his name of those accusations beyond a doubt anyway? That would be a pretty fucked up thing to put up with if you were actually innocent and couldn't prove it.

Nyjah seems like a jerk but the available evidence is weak. Ten year old SLAP rumors with absolutely no one giving a first-person account and some Twitter account that seems questionable at best aren’t really enough to convince me. I’m not saying he’s a good dude, I just don’t know. His response to the gang tape rumors seems reasonable.
I’ll happily cancel the man but not until someone actually comes forward or some video comes out.

He doesn't need to be guilty in that instance for me to not like him.
The smug ass look on his face when he knocked that light over in his last part was enough for that.
And he is just SO FUCKING CORNY GOD DAMN.
Just because he MIGHT not have been involved in a serious instance of abuse doesnt mean he's off the hook from being a total fucking kook otherwise.

Nyjah seems pretty chill for how famous and rich he is… like imagine how obnoxious Jereme Rogers (or lots of other skaters)would be if they had Nyjah’s level of fame. I think fame, money and Los Angeles will make most people pretty fucking corny, but it could be way worse.

Skating to and from the park tho. Excellent trip.
Dude spoke highly of him and said Jereme was a sweet heart. He also complimented his sister. I guess she brought him to the skate park all the time.
I never did that park.

Not gonna lie, I feel bad for Nyjah. He had a rough upbringing, gets lots of hate, and put out one of the best parts ever this year. Personally TJ’s skating excites me more, but he already won, and blocking Nyjah just makes it seem like Thrasher has a grunge against him. It’s not his fault he’s a “jock” skater. In The Berrics documentary he says his father kept him away from skating with others.
Idk, I feel like anyone who take a moment to think will understand why he presents himself like a sellout. Dude got his money stole from his dad, had to grind at contests to support his mom and siblings.
He’s dedicated his life to skateboarding and is an absolute beast. Again, I like TJ more, but Jah should’ve won 🤷🏿♂️

He's basically had the life of a child actor. He's got a broken relationship to his father to deal with. Actually, I wonder what keeps him so motivated. I think I would have just said "fuck all this!" and quit my skate career if the relationship to my father had broke up like his did.
Obviously I don't know what his actual mental health is like, but being rich and admired doesn't always mean you are living a happy life.
He did deserve that trophy more than Tyshawn did this year.

Ok he knocked a light over. His options looked like:
1. Knock the light over
2. Run into the building on his left
3. Knock over/step on more camera equipment
4. Run into the filmer/people watching
So what the fuck could he have done there that you wouldn't get mad about? If there was a bush sitting there I'm sure you'd find a way to get upset if he ran into it. You seem eager to hate this guy.

I enjoyed the shit outta this. Anytime I see a Nyjah interview he pretty much always has the same disposition; smiling and cheerful, and all around stoked. the dude is undoubtedly one of the best to ever do it. kinda wild to hear him talk about the possibility of death if things go awry. skateboarding is no joke.
-
I don’t know if I’ll ever be a fan but I gotta respect the dude devoting literally his whole life to skating and despite his upbringing still has fun doing it. Thrasher blew it this year. If they’d given it to TFunk I’d have chalked it up to TFunk fitting their style. Giving it to another guy in the athlete’s corner who had less impressive video parts who’d also already won was lame.
-
Nyjah definitely should have won it this year. He put out killer video parts that were better than anyone else. I was rooting for Louie and my favorite style of skating is the East coast powerhouse, but Nyjah brought it. He went out and slayed it, but Thrasher thinks they're too cool (despite giving it to kooks in the past and all the Skecher's and hot dog ads, etc they used to run.) Overlooking him once could be a mistake, but twice or more is deliberate. People want to talk about corny, did you never see the interview with Jake Phelps talking to Cory Duffel? Jesus, it was like two pro wrestlers cutting promo's on each other.
The guy grew up in front of a camera. How cool would any of us look constantly being watched from the time we were little until adulthood? I don't know him, but his talent is undeniable. He doesn't need Thrasher. He can just keep putting out amazing video parts and they can keep being childish and bitter.

I don't know about SOTY, but Ron Howard beating David Lynch and Kevin Costner beating Martin Scorsese in the best director awards is what's really bothering a lot of us.

Nyjah if you like video games, TJ if you like real life.
Honestly tho who really cares? It's a big marketing ploy that benefits sponsors not skaters. Makes people talk a bunch about parts they probably forgot and buy gear they likely wouldn't be hyped much on otherwise.

This is just a fourteen page thread of Heath erasure. Nyjah isn't the best rail skater of all time. By the same logic Chaz Ortiz is a better street skater than Ray Barbee. Heath is the Michael Jordan of jumping on handrails

By this thread’s logic people should be mad that Brian Anderson robbed Chad Fernandez.

no....because awards in skateboarding was corny back then......

The fact that Nyjah's "Need That" Nike SB part was released through Nike's Youtube channel and not exclusively through Thrasher tells you everything you need to know about his SOTY chances.
Good call.

you guys are insane for thinking that. nike just wants people to see it whether they are skateboarders or not. nike is 100x the entity that thrasher is and every skateboarder is going to know about this part regardless if thrasher posts it or not. you can’t say that the average person outside of skateboarding will see it if thrasher posts it vs if nike does.
everything is about money and thrasher needs nike more than nike needs thrasher

May not be people's favourite or perhaps even look the best skating them, but I would argue he is the best at skating handrails after that last part. Only thing I haven't seen him try on a handrail is gapping from rail to rail.

Nah hate the guy all you want but Nyjah is the all time rail king now. That’s not a diss on Heath just like it’s not a diss on Kien Lieu that Tyshawn is the ollie king now

This makes it pretty clear that nyjah does make it look too easy. He’s clearly the best rail skater of all time. In regards to heath, one of my favorites all time, you could say he was more groundbreaking and had better style, but he’s not technically better.

It didn’t even take this part to solidify home as rail king . Dude was. hitting all the legendary rails switch when the other dudes were still putting the last regular nbds on em 5 years ago
. Only other person skating rails that size switch is yuto, and I get the feeling nyjah wanted to switch tail that rail or probably even did and then yuto dropped that part so he used his warm up nollie board footage

He's basically had the life of a child actor. He's got a broken relationship to his father to deal with. Actually, I wonder what keeps him so motivated. I think I would have just said "fuck all this!" and quit my skate career if the relationship to my father had broke up like his did.
Obviously I don't know what his actual mental health is like, but being rich and admired doesn't always mean you are living a happy life.
He did deserve that trophy more than Tyshawn did this year.
Are you under the impression that winning SOTY would repair his relationship with his father or improve his mental health?
probably not, he’s probably more focused on whether he should wipe his tears with hundreds or twenties

I did not expect him talking so highly of T-Funk, Tyshawn and Louie. He's really hyped on their footage, saying how all their styles can't really be compared and no ones "better" than another.
Fuck it, I think I like Nyjah now. At least I respect him
i feel like he comes across as a super likable guy in interviews with a really good humble perspective. to me he's the modern day tony hawk.
oh shit, this is hawk versus hosoi all over again and i'm rooting for hawk this time. i'm officially old.

Heath was the best rail skater in the world for what, fifteen years? Most NBD's of any rail guy right? Best style of any rail skater ever, not even close? Do you guys think Luan Oliveira is a better street skater than Mike Carroll too? Every rail guy stands on the shoulders of Duffy and Heath, nobody else is in the GOAT discussion

This is now a Heath appreciation thread, kicking it off with the most beautiful handrail trick ever done, 2:40 in his seminal Mind Field part

If you looked up 'handrail' in the metaphorical encyclopedia of skating, Heath's El Toro cover would be the picture used

When TJ said in his interview that he didn't see FA doing anything, it was because he doesn't watch skating. He didn't even know about Louie, AVE, Elijah, Aidan, Ben K, Donovan, the entire Hockey team, putting out stuff consistently within the past few years. Sure FA had a lot of dead weight as well, the most egregious of all are his own homies Nak and KB. I honestly think TJ refused to give FA footage because Louie kinda challenged him as the top dog getting all the attention.

just watched it and i think he made some good points. it does feel like thrasher is playing both sides by taking nyjah's footage knowing there's no way they will give him soty. i also think his point about lack of transparency from thrasher is good. they would benefit a good bit from explaining the decision a bit. when phelps gave it to tj last time he basically said "he fakie flipped a street" so you understood his thinking. i guess it's implicit that thrasher was thinking he switch ollied a table twice, he kickflipped and bs flipped a subway track, etc... but some transparency would be nice.

It’s funny because I remember Berra making the same point like ten years ago- Thrasher has too much power and they’re using everyone for footy. (Not that Berra has room to talk now).
My only issue I think is that people in skateboarding are overestimating how much Nyjahs rape allegations would make news. I think there’s not a whole lot there for media organizations to work with or they’d have come up during the Olympics. For normies that shit is a way bigger deal than SOTY

I still don’t understand that situation. Did Chase Webb take the fall for a separate sexual assault related situation? Was it some other unrelated negative incident entirely? Or did the professional skateboarding community/his sponsors dislike him enough to just use his potential association with the Jah stuff to ditch him. Either way, his completely vanishing into thin air from successfully professionally skating was pretty remarkable. How come they couldn’t take D Loy too?

the whole thing is 'unproven' and evidence is sketchy at best yet some people just WANT to believe it so they can write off nyjah's skateboarding abilities because he wears goofy clothes.

The sex allegations stuff is ridiculous. If there’s evidence, that’s one thing, if it’s just allegations pretty unfair to the guy.

i dont really care about SOTY anymore, giving the prize to Nyjah would kill it off and end it for real, he doesnt represent skating the way Thrasher portrays it at all and giving it to him would just be the final nail for the tradition aspect of the award.
Half of his footage is on Element boards, thats probably all of his footage from the last few years or everything he saved up for Ty's documentary, its not like this is the year where he ripped most. its just the year his sponsors decided to push hard for SOTY.
That might've been true for Thrasher a few years ago but they just ran a 20-page interview feature, promoted parts, cover, etc...I'd say they're down with the Jah now, SOTY wouldn't be a huge surprise.
Good point re: Element boards, surprised I haven't seen this come up more - obviously everyone stashes clips for a big drop but some of those must be 2+ years old lol...bit excessive but whatever I liked the part

in all seriousness if he says he’s never even met the original accuser & she disappeared as soon as she started to be questioned by authorities, doesn’t look very valid to me. second accuser, who didn’t actually accuse him & was only brought into it by a video his friends filmed of him that he told them to stop when she was 20 & he was 16.. also doesn’t seem like it adds up. “mo money mo problems”.
-
Somewhere in the annals of this thread I disparaged Nyjah. But hindsight being 20/20 I kinda wish he would've got it. He clearly had the footy for it, and his comments on the other contenders in the video somewhere up above kinda won me over. Tyshawn is a goat obviously but I would've taken T-Funk over him too this year.
Thrasher feels like the only real loser here. I think someone else mentioned this, but when Phelps was around and it was clearly subjectively based on his opinion that was cool because everyone knew it and could accept it, because...Phelps. Now that he's gone, I think this whole thing would be better with at least a semblance of transparency.
-
Yo I never heard that Chima Bunt interview.
That is seriously fucked up. Basically summed up "I heard some friends of a friend maybe saw a tape or something maybe a few years ago or something where maybe some crazy shit might have happened at Noooiiiiiijah's so yeah...he's a rapist."
And the Bunt boys just like "awww doggg that's craaazzzzyyy"
That's some crazy irresponsible kook shit, really disappointing on both parties.

"ok cool, what's your favourite thing about being a pro skater?"
absolutely insane switch up lmao
What could he have said that would satisfy you?
in all seriousness if he says he’s never even met the original accuser & she disappeared as soon as she started to be questioned by authorities, doesn’t look very valid to me. second accuser, who didn’t actually accuse him & was only brought into it by a video his friends filmed of him that he told them to stop when she was 20 & he was 16.. also doesn’t seem like it adds up. “mo money mo problems”.
Nyjah is the OJ Simpson of the skate industry, wild accusations made about something he allegedly did despite no proof or charges sticking to him. Fortunately his talent overshadows those baseless claims, and people will soon forget about them in time for the SOTY 2023 push.

LOL at no proof in regards to OJ

January 6th we're gonna storm the Thrasher Offices to protest this injustice!

'nyjah is the most controversial skater of all time'
LOL no. fucken stupid ass video
chima ferguson is a fucken kook too for saying that shit on the bunt. all the rape allegations are just hearsay which probably originally started from a slap post. what the fuck would an australian know about what happens at nyjah's parties anyway? do people actually think he has like drunken rape orgy parties or something? nyjah is lame but he's not a sex pest freak.

funny how different the discussion is about these dumb accussations now. A year or two ago when that tweet came out, someone posted a pic of the girl and two people doubted it because she was nasty before Ed law dale said some corny shit like “that makes it even more likely” and “Nyjah seems like he would do something like that because he seems to be obsessed with power”. And people just accepted that and it was back to hating.
Nyjahs story in the thrasher interview about the sex tape at his party was also exactly what we heard years ago in a thread but of course people saw what they wanted to see. It makes a lot of sense too because chase webb got kicked off
-
Why did Chase get kicked out but not Nyjah is interesting?

If only he hadn’t seen Trae the Tank feeble that rail

Don’t know how to post videos, but Nike just released a video with him on their YouTube channel and he talks about his injury and mental health, brings up his dad like always, etc.
I kinda got made fun of for saying I feel bad for him, but I still do somewhat. There’s no reason he should have to feel so down with all that he has accomplished.
But folks just take pleasure in attacking him. Yeah, he’s said dumb shit, but I never bought the rape accusations cause I’m this post #metoo era, if it was legit he would’ve lost his sponsorships.
Do y’all really think Nike didn’t privately investigate that shit? Hopefully it doesn’t take him seriously fucking himself on a rail for y’all to give him his flowers.

You all realize Chase Webb and David Loy, or the other one, got kicked off all their sponsors for the exact same rape allegations that, suddenly, mean nothing against Nyjah? Wonder if it has anything to do with Nyjah bring way more lucrative?

how about you show us some proof of that homie. this bullshit talk of the "allegations" has gone on for a full decade on slap now without one shred of actual evidence, so from this point on if you want to talk about it, show evidence or go fuck yourself.
chima sucks all the dicks for calling dude a rapist without any first hand evidence.

BULLSHIT!!!
Nijah has a girl best friend roommate and her name is Alexa

I'm not your homie. You can go fuck yourself.
Almost all rape allegations are hearsay. You choose who to believe. A girl said he did, there's no real benefit to doung so. No money, no fame. Nyjah said he didn't, cause he has a mom and sisters. Lots of benefit in denying it. Dumbest shit I ever heard. Not a surprise you buy it.
Also, again, Chase and David lost their careers over these allegations. If you demand that means nothing, you looking like Stretch the fuck Armstrong. Probably too complicated a metaphor for your dumbass, have your momm explain it.

Wasn't it boosh (some dude who used to be in some old berrics videos or something) who started the whole accusation thing way before chima on some drunken rant saying someone showed him the video, or have I completely made that up?

If someone is claiming “he did x to me” that’s not hearsay, that’s a first hand account. So far as I can tell Nyjah is the only person offering a firsthand account, everyone else is just repeating something they heard from someone else, at least in regards to the gang rape claim. The woman on Twitter is a first hand claim but it doesn’t seem particularly believable.
I don’t know about Webb but Lot still has several sponsors so I don’t know if his career is destroyed but I don’t follow the man so who knows.

Chase Webb disappeared when he was at his prime.... but Dloy still here and has been around longer than he had any right to be considering his kookiness and mediocre skating

You might be too much of a fucking moron for this message board (and that's saying something).
A girl said he did? Which girl? Who? Do you have a name?
Chase and David lost their careers? No they didn't, lol. Google either of those dudes. They've both been on the scene the entire time.
Do you have any other complete falsehoods you want to regurgitate? I can't imagine being the kind of moron that reads a rumor on a message board and immediately takes it as 100% truth.
Evidence motherfucker, do you have it?

david loy is still pro for birdhouse. there’s also a lot to gain from allegations like that if they are true. either a settlement out of court or a trial where your attacker faces jail time as well as pays you a large sum for your trauma. the girl didn’t respond when she was contacted by authorities to testify, seems like you wouldn’t go post such claims on social media repeatedly & then not answer when contacted if you really had a case & wanted to prevent someone from hurting more people.
