Nyjah for SOTY

[GAY]

NGL I have no idea what the fuck anyone means when they say his tricks are "calculated". That makes absolutely no sense, obviously everyone calculates their tricks.

Part was insane but specialization doesn’t earn SOTY.

 Jaws pushed the limits of his specific gnarly specialty, too. Did he earn a SOTY?

[SatanicPanic]

By “calculated” I assumed they mean- planned certain tricks at certain spots.

Which is what most people do, but maybe they mean something else.

Nyjah's skate range is way more than jaws' everyone knows that. Even on rails themselves, Nyjah does different tricks and combo tricks down them.

nyjah is an undeniably good skateboarder but he is so fucking boring to watch like jesus christ how can you make skating so fucking uninteresting

Yeah his style is to generic and he's to lightweight to look like hes doing anything

Its odd

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.

We all debate about who is getting SOTY and I am all in for the discussion, but will Berra keep his KOTY streak going this year?

No I think Strobeck takes it after ruining Tyshawns part. Enough is enough

[scab]

^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.

Jaws was spinning 540s on transition along with some other undoubtedly gnarly stuff. He had more versatility to his parts than any Nyjah part. No SOTY.

I think they mean "they choose tricks they don't necessarily want to do or like doing but do it for the gnar factor anyway." At least that is my interpretation, not that I agree.

[matt_2993]

There's not actually gonna be another part today right? To go along with the shoe release? I just can't really believe that

He initially commented on IG that "THE" part drops on the 30th for his bday and shoe release but the comment didn't mention Need That separately. I think its safe to say there was just a date change on dropping the part

That could be it too. Not sure what the problem is either way

imagine how hellride nigels soty party would be
dwayne monster probably would show up personally for that
who else would be on the squad?

[modern life is war]

It'd be sick if nyjah dropped another part and there were no handrail tricks but it was just him dominating every discipline of skateboarding imaginable, like doing a kickflip 1080 in vert and shit

Just imagine

Honestly that would be great, like that Joslin part where he didn't huck.

[Mouth]

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

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

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.

(obviously if any allegations ever actually stick, just delete all his parts).

Im a little surprised Nyjah doesn’t huck at all.  Did he ever in his younger days?

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.

[chockfullofthat]

why did he skate to everyday i'm hustling and wear all those shorts.

[Mouth]

People in shorts can’t hustle?

Some noteworthy hucks in here. Nollie fs heel carlsbad, hardflip & tre a 5 flat 5, switch heel a 6 flat 6, etc. He also did sitck bs flip el toro. I don't think it's worth it for him to be jumping down huge sets at this point.
