Gotta be honest, I figured winning previously would make it unlikely Tyshawn would get it this year, but
hats durags off to him. Backside flip was nuts.
-
TJ Rogers :-[
-
was rooting for funk, bs flip was incredible tho. tj deserves it
-
backside flip is insane, did he do it just for the soty announcement or what?
-
Getting footage after his video parts. The new way to win SOTY.
-
My heart breaks for Louie.
-
Danny Way, Chris Cole, and now Tyshawn Jones is the x2 Thrasher Skater of the Year.
Mad respect to Tyshawn. That Ollie he did over the can and into the tile was one of the best photos I’ve ever seen. It just didn’t look real!
-
My heart breaks for Louie.
shouldn't have fakie bigflipped
-
Wow that bs flip was nutz. Well deserved SOTY.
-
When you know you’re getting soty so you save your bs flip.
This isn’t a democracy. It’s a money fueled advertisement. What a sham.
-
Bangas on that nawf !!!!!!
-
Is Louie now the Buffalo Bills of SOTY pushes?
-
Honestly the cop bitching in the clip put something into perspective for me. Doing a trick over the tracks of the NYC subway is the epitome of street skateboarding. Being were you shouldn't be doing dangerous shit that you shouldn't be doing. Well deserved.
-
ETHER
-
GOAT
-
Tyshawn deserved it more this year than the other year he won. Like before when he won you could argue it wasn’t deserved. But I don’t think you can do that logically this year.
I wanted Louie to win. He put footy out all year.
-
Worthy winner, well deserved.
-
Idk how people thought louie was gonna get it.
-
I wanted louie since he hasn't won but tj deserved it just as much. BS flip was fucked
-
i just hope him and his crew do a proper soty trip video instead of the 5 minute one from last time.
-
Tyshawn missed out on a chance to pull a Heath for his ender in Play Dead, bs flip is fucked.
Good for him, I wanted T Funk but Tyshawn had some crazy shit this year.
-
Hey where's that guy who said we'd all be drinking each other's piss after Jah's part dropped?
Not that there's anything wrong with that I guess.
-
I’m glad Fred Gall has been nice enough to pass on it all these years. Congrats Tyshawn and all his friends reading this.
-
I love Tyshaun but he didn't deserve it this year. I've heard supreme dropped serious ad revenue money this year and I wonder did that influence it.
The real SOTY this year was TJ
Him aside the most impressive skating was Nyjah and I never ever thought I would say that.
-
His next part is gonna start with back to back hammers over subway tracks instead of trash cans
-
Yeah I don't care what anyone else says, dude deserved to win it again this year. That backside flip is absolutely mental.
-
Someone mentioned a few days back that if he won he’d slow down on productivity. I think that him winning this will do the opposite, I think since he’s won it twice now that he’ll be gunning to be the first person to get it three times. I feel as if once he’s in the race, he’s already won.

Does this mean he automatically gets a spot on Plan-B?

Weren’t you claiming Louie got it?

Nyjah is a fucking dork and a total chad bro dickhead
But let's be honest Tyshaun didn't deserve this by any stretch of the imagination
His General part was really good but the rest was just filler

Fuck!
Was rooting for Louie, oh well.
Pretty cool to get it twice, good for TJ.
Who else has done that? Chris Cole, and Danny way? Or am I tripping?
-
bs flip was fucked. got me thinking, probably wont see it happen but i wanna see nollie bs flip over it. shit would be absolutely fucked
-
How does the gap look so damn small on footage? The way he just casually jumps over it after landing the bs flip makes it look tiny.
Don't know what to think, he would have deserved it every other year, but not really this one...
-
absolutely my choice for soty. much love to LL, tfunk and even jah but the homie killed it, continues to kill it, and will stay killing it. so happy for the dude.
-
Just glad it’s not Nyjah.
I wanted Louie, but I rather have Tyshawn claim his second than Nyjah his first.
-
big congrats to TJ
he one upped himself, his own thrasher cover 8)
talk about announcement

sewa did kickflip out of nose manual this is really unfair

But what makes other contenders more deserving? If Nyjahs general wackness rules him out then why Tfunky or Louie?
TFunk did a legendary trick. Tyshawn did the kickflip and the switch ollie, tops Tfunk. Louie dropped a ton of footage. Tyshawn dropped plenty, while yes some was relatively average(though id say more was top notch than not), the general is way more memorable than anything Louie has put out this year.
I think if you look objectively he does deserve it and tops the other guys.

I think it came down to, not only who put out some gnar parts, but who also did a trick that kept people talking. And for me that was Ty's kickflip (and BS flip) over the subway rail and TFunk's China Banks ollie.
Louie and Nyjah put out heavy parts, but no one trick had people talking so much. Or got a Thrasher cover.

Where's the formal announcement though? Do they always just post a video of the SOTY winner before announcing it?

Sorry I probably wrote that badly
What I meant was despite how much I dislike Nyjah. It's undeniably his year.
Nobody has done what he has done before.
What Tyshaun did wasn't even close.

At this point Nyjah is never going to win it. If he didn’t win it the years he dominated all competitions, got covers, dropped parts, or this year when he dropped 20 minutes of mind melting rail tech he’s never gonna get it.
Also feel bad for Louie. Always the bridesmaid

jah had the terrible cover doing the back tail in the USA leggings when he still thought he would win the olympics and be soty 2021 lmaoooo. it was last year but the tailslide footy was in his soty push this year
-
So it’s nothing but a cool kid contest. Got it
-
He did be doin good ollie
-
Both of those angles of the BS flip we’re so much better. The long lens angle from the landing side made it look super gnarly.
-
It’s gutting for Louie but I can’t say Tyshawn doesn’t deserve it. He’s straight up nuts, people complain about his switch ollie, he goes and does a redo, they meme on his banger, he goes and one ups himself. Marketing machine.
-
Ain't no way boy
-

why do say that? judging by the fits this is not from the same session as the kick flip from playdead and the cover. could have been yesterday from all we know

Berrics made the "Populist" when Berra had a meltdown about Nyjah not winning SOTY in 2014, then Luan won.

well I did change my mind to Louie after seeing his part but...
ya'll in denial if you think TJ WONT be SOTY this year.
It's his. Remember this post.

If it was yesterday, that’d be crazy timing for sure. But I’d think they would have included it in one of the videos if they didn’t know he was going to win. Not sure why he’d sit on it. Regardless, it’s a gnarly clip.

Last thing I'm saying on this thread:
Where's the proof of supreme giving Thrasher dough to sway the selection? I know this is slap so evidence isnt required, but anyone saying that shit is making baseless claims to shit on the guy.
Don't get me wrong if it's true let me get my pitch fork but until you have evidence its pretty stupid to just make a claim like that.
By the way did you know Tfunk went to Thrasher and told them he didn't want it? Said he didn't want all the attention.

Damn, I'm actually surprised TJ got it twice. Was sure they would finally give it to Nyjah. Is it bad that I think it's kind of hilarious that Nyjah continues to fall short? Feel bad for Louie a lil bit, but I don't think it really affects his legacy.

Props to TJ for maxing out his NBDs at that spot. Similar to the redo of the switch ollie. Put it to bed fast.
Think he got SOTY because that Thrasher cover was one of the best ever done. Atiba said it's his favorite skate photo ever.
I voted T-Funk because he never won and also had a legendary trick/ cover but both deserving obviously.

There may not have been a direct payment, but there sure as hell was a ton of advertising dollars spent with Thrasher. The banners and side pages of thrasher have been supreme since the video dropped and the last mag had like a 3 page ad

Lackluster.

Not upset about this. Even though my first choice was Louie (or TJ Rogers) you can't deny Tyshawn went off this year. Props

Congrats to Tyshawn. I've heard he stated his goal was to be the first 3 time SOTY, so only one more to go!
So much great footage for all 4 finalists. And that backside flip is the icing on the cake. What an amazing year.
-
Congrats to him, but I honestly thought Nyjah went tf off and deserved it.
-
Tyshawn's footage makes you feel something. Definitely can't say the same for Nyjah. Louie is the smoothest criminal out there. but it doesn't have that wow factor that makes your jaw drop to the floor. Tfunk though I feel like had some of that. His footage was wild and you were on the edge of your seat while he did some wild shit.
But Tyshawn really threw it down this year. His shit was absolutely incredible to watch. I feel like 2018 was well deserved after Blessed, and this year it was a tough match but just seemed inevitable that he'd win again. No one is doing shit that he's doing.

First of all Tyshawn deserved it.
Second of all, the vote obviously doesn’t count, it’s an easy grab at getting your clicks to their site to drive ad revenue and sales lol.
Third of all, a buy out sounds unlikely.. tactical ads sounds kind of semi realistic… but is it just that a print mag with a slowly dwindling reputation can spot a really good marketing opportunity when they see one? New Supreme video and popularity in their brand is on the up again, it’s a good look. Keeps Thrasher looking cool and in the mainstream/hypebeast spotlight again.
Anyway just to reiterate, I think Tyshawn 100% deserved it but remember print magazines in 2022 have to be clever with business.
-
I’m not a huge fan of the way thrasher releases the little documentary on TJ before giving it to him, makes it feel less suspenseful, or like there’s nothing anyone can drop after that to have a meaningful impact on the results. Any of the top four would have been reasonable picks though, congrats to Tyshawn.

Nyjah can just stop trying for SOTY at this point. I’m no nyjah fan, and I get why they don’t give it to him on some level, but at this point he shouldn’t even accept it if they do. Thrasher is like Nyjahs parental figure at this point, he keeps hoping one day they will accept him on his terms, but won’t just put on the brown pants they picked out for him and meet them half way. Congrats Tyshawn!

It's rigged, we all know it. Like when Ty won the first time or AVE...
Out of the top 4, I'd have to give it to Louie. Why? He combines everything the 4 have (T-funk too for the most part).
TFunk has the speed
Ty has..pop over trash cans? (NGL that BS flip was fuggin nuts)
Nyjah, rails...
Louie: All of the above.
That said, nothing Ty/Louie/tfunk did was at the same level as Nyjah, sure they had maybe a banger or two, love him or hate him, NiGeL brought the send with banger after banger...on some massive fucking rails...untouchable by anyone else...pretty sure there's more out there that can BS flip that width (they do sidewalk to sidewalk gaps all the time, right)...gotta say tho, not sure there's many who would touch that China Banks ollie...(*cough* even if he did pop past the first edge...but I get it, you have to get in between to to get to ollie it)

How far back is considered too long to count for the current year? I'd assume more than a few pros are sitting on some oldish footage from at least last year, I'd wager Yuto for example is out there banking up clips for either next years SOTY or the next.
-
If he legit went and one upped his cover/ender last minute to seal the deal then Tyshawn is legendary, especially after the switch ollie debacle as well. Dude is not fucking around.
Imagine being Louie and one of your NYC homies messages you on tuesday saying they saw Tyshawns crew heading back into the subway with cameras and bondo.

He couldve got it early but the Supreme True Religon stuff came out a week ago on last Thursday. I would guess he filmed it in the last week

Yeah, what's the story with the bs flip? Where did that come from now? Fuckin crazy.
Either could have won this year (except Nyjah) but congrats to Tyshawn.

Good. Now he can fade away. Lol

Just glad it’s not Nyjah.
But let's be honest Tyshaun didn't deserve this by any stretch of the imagination
His General part was really good but the rest was just filler
So it’s nothing but a cool kid contest. Got it
He did be doin good ollie

If he legit went and one upped his cover/ender last minute to seal the deal then Tyshawn is legendary, especially after the switch ollie debacle as well. Dude is not fucking around.
Imagine being Louie and one of your NYC homies messages you on tuesday saying they saw Tyshawns crew heading back into the subway with cameras and bondo.
I think BS flips are even easier over long flat gaps than kickflips. Your lead foot flings it way in front of you automatically so it’s easier to clear distance

Backside flip is insane, though i'd wager it's easier than a kickflip
First of all, no. Second of all, no.
post footy
Hope you like fakie bigspins
As my post just above said, I agree that BS flip was probably just as easy , if not easier since the angle he skates it at is more aligned with the way a bs flip flicks

Hyped for tyshawn
Someone mentioned a few days back that if he won he’d slow down on productivity. I think that him winning this will do the opposite, I think since he’s won it twice now that he’ll be gunning to be the first person to get it three times. I feel as if once he’s in the race, he’s already won.
I believe this, but it would need to be a truly bigger year for him than anyone has ever had in their career. Thinking kickflipping the water tower or something like that, has that ever been discussed? Or is it still even possible to skate that spot? People like to gloss over the fact that he has p rod level switch backside game too, would like to see more of that as well.

That backside flip was insane. I definitely would have picked him if I knew about that trick.
Props to all the skaters this year.
Top fucking shelf entertainment.
I'm predicting he's going to have a 3rd soon af. So long as he doesn't go get on NB or whatever.
Switch flip the table. I need to see it. I'd like to see some type of fakie flipper over it too.
So good

It’s genuinely hilarious how much some of you actually care about this shit. Legit meltdowns and disappointments as if it affects your personal life on some tangible level.
I bet my house and my life savings on a Nyjah win at 5 to 1. So yeah, maybe it does!??!?

Then why wouldn't he go straight to a backside flip in the first place? Even if it was easier for him it still has the added difficulty of needing to rotate 180 and land switch on blind bumps.
Not saying I disagree on the distance thing but it is definitely a harder trick at this spot.

After that carve in getting across that shit and nice and straight with the bumps and the next platform is insane.
I imagine it must feel super uncomfortable to do that. Like when you first learn kickflip front 50 on a ledge.
Backside flip you got that direction of motion going. Also 180 tricks are easier to send long distance.
Backside flips are worth more in stairs and as an entry trick to ledges and Mannys. Flat gap switch flip would be top dog. Maybe switch shuv.
This particular gap for regular a footer. Switch backside flip or big flip is top dog. Or half cab heels
-
If the bs flip was “easier” bc of the angle then he would’ve just 360 flipped it since you’re not turning backside and potentially falling into the tracks on the other side blind. Bs flip isn’t easier it was just a *calculated* footage drop.
-
Feels like they dialed him up two weeks ago and planned this out. Dope trick but no way was his year heavier than t funk Louie or nyjah
Just a story to tell and a magazine to sell.
-
I dont even like him but Nigel got robbed. No one can step to the shit he does. NO ONE. And hes gotta know everyone hates the leggings and he still wears em because thats what he likes. Kind of respectable. I think Thrasher was just trying to avoid the inevitable shitstorm of rape accusations if they gave it to him.
And if you havent kooked me yet, if were talking impact in 2022, && should have been on the contenders list.

I wish someone was filming Nigel scrolling insta on his phone when he found out. The slow fade of his smile from his face and rapid combustion into an inconsolable meltdown.
Just a complete ugly crying session like he watched the episode of The Office where Jim and Pam finally get married.

I’m not a huge fan of the way thrasher releases the little documentary on TJ before giving it to him, makes it feel less suspenseful, or like there’s nothing anyone can drop after that to have a meaningful impact on the results. Any of the top four would have been reasonable picks though, congrats to Tyshawn.
They also put out a rough cut thing of Louie's final part same day too.
And plus they already did this exact doc with Louie a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81Ak9BGYy6E
I agree with you that it feels like they were setting the table for TJ... but I think they were also setting the table for Louie a bit.
I just wish they would have done a video for all 4 of them since its been clear for 2-3 months now that those guys would be the final 4.

Yeah I 100% agree. I would be interested in what "angle" they would go for with Nyjah or T Funk.
I feel like T Funk you could basically use it as an excuse to do a sort of GX1000 doc. How the fuck hasn't there been a GX1000 doc yet?
-
Jesus fucking Christ he did a Backside flip? Congrats to Tyshawn.
Oh and fat bill? stay away from his footage

Nyjah streamed on Thrashers yesterday or today. Everyone had their own thing going up until the announcement
that was today, like maybe an hour or two before they announced Tyshawn winning. kind of hilarious that they would have him do that knowing they were about to announce someone else winning lol
Thrasher posted about it on their story earlier and have since deleted it. Could just be because the stream is over but still seems a bit weird to delete it especially in light of announcing Tyshawn
unrelated but when I saw the subway kickflip initially, i was wondering why he would want to carve backside to it for that trick. i would always prefer to carve frontside to a kickflip personally. i wonder if he skated it that way for the kickflip knowing that he would be trying backside flip?

I wouldn't have voted for Tyshawn, but agreed. The bumps for blind people would be a nightmare to land on. Personally, I love his pop but something about his style I find rough. But, he earned it when it was clearly a very subjective debate betweem the four.

Growing up in the 90s I didn’t give a shit about SOTY, but looking back it’s great memories, like Cardiel, Carroll, Koston, Reynolds, Rowley, Arto, BA. I hope the kids feel the same way about recent SOTY’s like Foy, Mason, Suciu, Kyle, Milton, Tyshawn x2.

Glad it was him. Would have been happy with Louie too. It was never gonna be Nyjah idk why y’all tripping on the voting. Also can people please stop mentioning tfunk? The china banks Ollie was done last year AND had the cover last year December (which comes out in October).

Popularity contest for who? The skaters and their sponsors? I don’t really know myself.
It’s definitely good for the industry. Gets everyone kinda hyped and helps skateboarders build a career.
What I do know:
Mason Silva said on the Bunt that the person who wins SOTY is decided by like 6 dudes at Thrasher. They meet up and talk about it and just decide.
The six heads at Thrasher dug Tyshawns output this year more than everyone else’s. I don’t think it’s much more than that.

I dunno but seeing the the BS flip with the best filming and view of that gap with bondo I have zero doubt Luan could BS FS and KF the subway tracks.
Being a good flatground skater ≠ Bs flipping subway tracks
Not just about being consistent but about being agile
That's like saying PJ Ladd would 3 flip the tracks
Yeah, what's the story with the bs flip? Where did that come from now? Fuckin crazy.
Either could have won this year (except Nyjah) but congrats to Tyshawn.

Yeah I was rooting for Louie - hasn’t gotten it before, been ripping for so long now, no kooky behaviour, put out multiple parts this year spread out evenly, did that beautiful front shove fs nosegrind on a hubba plus that bluntslide on the fountain and so much more..
…But I’m not mad that Tyshawn won at all. He just kind of swooped in and banged us over the head with a glut of amazing footage.
Just glad I didn’t place any bets and lose money on this, bc I thought nyjah was going to win. Also:

And if you havent kooked me yet, if were talking impact in 2022, && should have been on the contenders list.
I guess you are right and this was propably actually the case. Just too polically brisant to let nyjah win in shadows of the (hopefully wrong) accusations. It is 2022 and every big mediahouse has now learned how to try to anticipate and prevent shitstorms.
It is just way less dangerous to give it to tyshawn as the only consequence is that a few people will wonder why, regarding nyjahs crazy output, but everyone will move on quickly.

His win over Evan Smith was bullshit in 2018.
His win over Nyjah or T Funk was bullshit in 2022.
Tyshawn is a thief, and I don't understand SLAP or anyone's werid fascination with him at all.
Yes fucking mad.
i agree in ways. i think others deserved it more this year but i’m not overly bummed on the decision. tyshawn did kill it this year and nobody can argue with that. the fact that the thrasher site has been littered with supreme ads since the drop of the video is a bit peculiar. converse & nike have both had multiple prior soty’s & if the trophy really is bought & sold, i can see them not wanting to spend the cash after looking at their lack of sale growth afterwards despite the budgets they have. supreme, not so much. they’ve had one rider make it and it was strictly off their previous video which i’m sure it sold like hot cakes afterward. hell, i bought it just to see since their were no leaks. i don’t know how i feel about this contest anymore honestly but it is awesome that tyshawn is the first black double champ & the stuff he did this year is undeniably great. it just feels like it doesn’t make as much sense as some other choices. i get the distaste for nyjah but he put out over 20 minutes of footage this year, he followed the suciu method from last year & extended it with zero throwaway while suciu put out 2 fully legit parts & 2 tossers. nobody really was really passionate about suciu winning & he still did. i think this year truly was a coin toss (both literally and figuratively speaking).

I don’t love the idea of giving it to a guy who already got it four years ago and hasn’t really switched up his style. I think it makes more sense to recognize one of the other skaters who are pushing the sport.
That's why I am not too stoked on this either, the guy won it already on the exact same merit which is insane pop and flip game. Why not switch things up a bit?

SOTY Summary:
We had Nyjah- if SOTY woud be a contest with point system and some energy drink sponsor he woud win.
heavy skating - and I really would like to watch him at one of his handrail mission.
T-Funk - he is for me the most Thrasher SOTY - hitting SF spots and hills, gnarly, fast and fun to watch.
Woud like to skate with him some of this little funky gnarly bank spots -but I assume he is unbearably.
No Shoe Deal SOTY woud be sick.
Loui - he is my favorite - meet him back then through the young Flip days - he was super nice, fun, little kid enjoying skating with the locals at the park. He is the only one i coud imagine hanging / skating at the park and I really like his footage. Become a handsome gentleman.
Tyshawn - if I am really honest with myself I always tried to skate like he skate today. if I coud choose from all 5 the bag of tricks I woud choose Tyshawns fat, raw and dirty bag. Meet him once at a Adidas Tour - he was still a kid - and we had a session at the same spot. He havent impressed me. Was the new kid together with Na-Kel more shy / spoiled then hyped to be on tour skating / session with new people. Was just interested in watching Busenitz anyway.
Need to say it was a steep bank / ledge spot - not really Tyshawns favorite terrain.
At least we have TJ Rogers - fighting cancer and his output gives him anyway the Skater of the year of our hearts.
Concratulation to Tyshawn winning again the Trophy / Cover / Fame.
But also congratulation to all of us - to receive top notch skating in the year 2022

I would have given it to jah. If cole and dway can get it 2 times, jah can have it once. Even if he’s a douche you can’t deny what he’s doing on the board is insane. But I guess soty is an insider coolguy hypebeast trophy and only partially about the skating.

maybe nyjah shoulda focused more on after black hammers, and less on hammering girls after they black out

tyshawn's amazing and a worthy soty, but i think this is a case of the cool guy doing just enough to beat out the others - who did more but don't have the same clout.
let's be real, the fact thrasher and supreme are essentially sister companies is prolly gunna help tj's case.
if it were up to me, i'd go for LL. nicest style, nicest trick selection, and by far the most variety. you get stuff that's quick footed and tasteful (long noseslide > quickset ≥ manny big spin), stuff that's unique (50-50 nosebonk 360), stuff that's mad technical (bsns to bs 270 nkf), and stuff that's death defying (front feeble pop over on a big handrail leading into a spiked fence).
t-funk went HAM in a way very befitting of the mag. nyjah went HAM in a way that wasn't befitting of anything but was just undeniably mind-boggling.
so yeah, a it surprised that they gave it TJ, especially as he already won before. that said, his instant one-upping himself was mad. people bitched about the sso over the table so he just re did it. people bitched about the subway kf (the filming mostly) and he one upped it. mad to see some someone drop 'once in a lifetime' level tricks and then make it very clear they can actually just hit that level whenever they like...
fuck it, i take it all back, tj's a good pick.
-
tyshawn has way better style than nyjah, way more tech + deeper bag than t funk, Louie was the only one that was a serious fight and his footage just wasn't as gnarly when you stacked it up. Tyshawn was way hungrier for it. I voted for Tyshawn.

like both of these takes. i did like in tj's interview how he said that he hates how skating requires you to be so humble and gracious and said it'd be way tighter if they approached it like fighters "your part was wack, i'm about to drop a..." which would be kind of cool and you can feel that mentality on him redoing tricks. it's basically dunking on this critics. he's got some of my favorite thrasher covers of all time.
all that said, i don't think he deserved it more than the others but really we all win with soty because everyone is pushing so hard to film so much crazy footage.
i'm still bumbed that evan didn't get it and foy over thiago was criminal to me but it's always fun to watch.

These takes are just such try hard bullshit . Go into a NYC subway station and try and skate across the train tracks . That shit is not just a “flat gap” .
Maybe he missed his fakie heel down the 5? Or his switch big spin flip fs board , or his fakie hard flip over a street ? Or maybe he missed the sw big spin heel over the rail into the bank ? Or the noseblunt UP the pyramid ledge , or how about the bs noseblunt on bay blocks , or the switch noseblunt on bay blocks .
People are really reaching hard to try and discredit tyshawns skating . And all seem pretty wack trying to do it.

does anyone think there's a possibility that Nyjah didn't get it because he's hurt right now? From what it sounds like he won't be skating again till maybe late next year. If he can't skate, no content, no cover = no return on investment for Thrasher.
I'd have to imagine this was a factor in the decision.

idk tyshawn has to run his very fastest to do it and he is like a NFL player. chris can run but i dont think aurelian can. you dont have a lot of room to set up for this spot. i think he would be pushing himself to the limit to do a bigspin over it... but i think he could do it even this late in his career.
lol i love how TJ always carries the board in his right hand all the way until the very end then throws it down with the left, and it always looks like hes almost going to fall when he moves his feet to set up becuase of that little jump that he does to get into position.

Which random skater of little significance that ollied it are you talking about; that second guy or Mike from the Bronx? Not intending to shade those guys at all but just want to remind you that the difficulty of the spot is more about the bust factor and approach not the distance. Either way those dudes ollied it without Bondo, which is worth mentioning if we're going to keep bringing up the roll in at wallenberg. If a couple randoms can ollie it I'm sure of at least a handful of pros that could skate it (Joslin and AG are good calls).
Everyone caring so much about complete strangers winning a skateboarding award strikes me as being rather unskaterly, a bit kooky, so hopefully now it's been called all this competitiveness on other people's behalves will go away.
Congrats Tyshawn but I did just want to point out, if you can't sit comfortably and eat your lunch at said table did you really switch ollie a table? Either grab a full sized table or sit a bunch of Kindergartners at the table you're using and ollie them too, then I'd be impressed.

The platform distance are roughly the same across all NYC subways. The platforms are all similarly distanced because Train tracks have to be standardized obviously and there are only two car widths.

I don't care to parse out which cars run each route, the max difference is a little over one foot. That doesn't really color my opinion or effect my point but I'm sure within the context of skateboarding you'll find that fascinating.

Is this the beginning of the end for bigger (more than two or three) fields of super focused SOTY contenders?
Not a shot a TJ, I think I’d feel the same way regardless of who won (except for Spanly… that would have been pure uncut joy).
Are dudes gonna want to go full tilt for a year chasing 12-20% chance at the trophy? So, then the big dogs sit it out (still putting out parts etc… but not launching a campaign) and you get some mid-tier pro’s putting out three or four parts trying to fill that void). Thrasher can’t give it to a mediocre glory hound, so they go back to the traditional phelps mythology mindset of it being the “this is our guy” award (which some people have made a decent case that that applies to TJ winning over Nyjah) and crown someone who is just doing their thing but peaking that year.
Thrasher being the only major print mag left, they’re already spread thin now trying to cover and please so many niches of skateboarding.
It’s been a wild year, but is it sustainable? And does it suck the air out of the room for everything else coverage-wise?
Beats the hell out of me.

Interesting theory but I don't think so. Thrasher has had plenty of non skate covers and I'm sure nyjah has a bunch of photos that haven't been run. Maybe even a photo from when he was a kid could of worked. I don't think they'd not give someone an award for what they've already done because they might not do more later.

Multiple tricks towards and over the third rail, sheesh, not for the faint of heart.
Maybe I'm getting old, but if tricks over subway tracks in that direction become a proving ground, hopefully no one gets electrocuted.

He switch ollied a table tho. Twice even because of GH ;D
It’s cool but he already owned the big ollie guy lane. I mean is Thrasher going to give it him again next year when he switch flips a table or tre flips a subway gap? Maybe he’ll ollie two trash cans stacked on top of each other?
I dunno I’m biased cause I think NY skating is pretentious and boring to watch but think if they’re going to give out twice it should be to someone like Daewon who reinvented himself every video part.

Now we just gotta get Tiago to stop dressing like he's 45 for a few months. Bring him in for the win.
tiago must not change.
it's funny how high our expectations are for that guy. he wasn't in the soty conversation at all eve though he had longest (or maybe 2nd longest by a few seconds) part in the heaviest full length of the year (in pure skating terms) plus 4 or 5 little edits for #nb. the fact they were shot so snazzily made them feel much more like ads than anything, but if you put them back to back it makes a very decent part.

I don’t love the idea of giving it to a guy who already got it four years ago and hasn’t really switched up his style. I think it makes more sense to recognize one of the other skaters who are pushing the sport.
That's why I am not too stoked on this either, the guy won it already on the exact same merit which is insane pop and flip game. Why not switch things up a bit?
He switch ollied a table tho. Twice even because of GH ;D
I dunno I’m biased cause I think NY skating is pretentious and boring to watch but think if they’re going to give out twice it should be to someone like Daewon who reinvented himself every video part.
it took him like 3 years of filming to come out with all that stuff. he will be milking it hard next year for sure, he probably wont step on a board again til 2024 ;D

Kinda wanted Nyjah to get it because his part was insane, but TJ’s style is more raw and seeing dude jumping trash cans in the bike land in NYC and nearly running into a car was wild. Idk, NYC footage just looks crazier than California footage. Way more pedestrians, traffic, just looks more street.

Interesting. To me Tyshawn was by far the most inspiring choice, mainly because he embodies the City and skates it like no one ever has before. If that's not your thing, I totally see why you're not too stoked on the choice, and that's completely valid. I personally am bored by anything SoCal. In the end it's all subjective and reasonable minds can differ.

Tyshawn deserved the win. So did Louie imo.
I honestly think Nyjah KNEW he wasnt going to win. During his interview with Steve-O, he mentions "others deserve it because they have been working hard all year". Seems like he really didn't expect to win and it doesnt seem like he's pissed at all imo.
Also, if you have been noticing all the coverage that Thrasher has been giving Tyshawn, it was pretty obvious he was CHOSEN to be SOTY for a couple months now. SOTY is always planned in advanced. It's silly to think voting or the thrasher guys choose SOTY a day before announcement.
Also, Aurelian can shut the fuck up. No one likes that fool.

that's cool but what is the difference in distance traveled? The approaches are different of course but I'm unaware of a difference in track distance. What's it to you anyway, you seem really excited for the guy. Is that you, Bill?
no affiliation with tyshawn, the most cursory look into my post history will show i wanted louie or t-funk to win, just happily clearing up some easily-disproved misconceptions during my downtime at work. i know slap posters struggle with nuance so based on your single post it seems like you'll fit in great here
You didn't clear up anything homie and your self-righteous, condescending tone only serves yourself. What's wrong, can't take the tiniest bit of smarm back? Just because you're on slap doesn't mean you have to be a jerk.
The winsome source material of your entry-level "I'm an intellectual" avatar humors me though; read more and post less and you may become as smart as you believe yourself to be.
The platform distance are roughly the same across all NYC subways. The platforms are all similarly distanced because Train tracks have to be standardized obviously and there are only two car widths.
"The system maintains two separate fleets of passenger cars: one for the A Division (numbered) routes, the other for the B Division (lettered) routes. All A Division equipment is approximately 8 feet 9 inches (2.67 m) wide and 51 feet (15.54 m) long. B Division cars, on the other hand, are about 10 feet (3.05 m) wide..."
I don't care to parse out which cars run each route, the max difference is a little over one foot. That doesn't really color my opinion or effect my point but I'm sure within the context of skateboarding you'll find that fascinating.
And no dude, I don't care about your history of posting on some dumb internet forum, you shouldn't either.
Buh u stil rong doh?

Really think this is a bigger deal than people are making it out to be. Thrasher is a popular T-Shirt company to the outside world, and there’s been an influx of women skaters in the past few years. Making an alleged rapist their SOTY would lead to a decline in TShirt sales probably and getting called out by a lot of pros for supporting him.

Nyjah was in the Olympics and the rumors never made the news, I don’t see how giving him SOTY requires more scrutiny than that. That and the fact that they gave him space to explain himself in their own mag makes me think they came to the same conclusion lots of us did- the rumors are probably fake.
-
Pretty funny that a dude who won SOTY twice probably can't do an axel stall on a 5 foot miniramp.
But hey, the stuff he does, only he can do it. Congrats to TJ.

Hats of to TJ. He had a great year, excellent parts. I don’t see why you’d be mad at him for winning. It’s gotta somewhat come down to business deals too (content, advertising, etc). Supreme and adidas probably helped secure it. I’m assuming Nyjah got the most votes too. If you look at his parts views they have way more than all the other skaters. Maybe even combined. IG followers too. I know that’s not what we’re basing SOTY from but if it came down to #’s, votes, amount of tricks, total footage time, consumed content he’d be the winner. I know he’s not our favorite skater here but he’s probably got the most fans and is the closest to a household name other than Tony and Bam. Tyshawn definitely had some more memorable tricks this year imo. I know Nyjah did the biggest rails and had a 12 minute part but I can’t recall many of the tricks from all of that footage. With all that being said I’d still really like to see Louie win soon.

That could be due to our culture being so insular that the rumors wouldn’t make waves for the Olympic committee to really care.
And with the interview it allowed him to share his side, but saying “This is our guy” seems like it’d be a step further. Just an observation, I think they both deserved it

it's shame this is turning into a popularity contest.
tj is sick but come on
Popularity contest for who? The skaters and their sponsors? I don’t really know myself.
It’s definitely good for the industry. Gets everyone kinda hyped and helps skateboarders build a career.
What I do know:
Mason Silva said on the Bunt that the person who wins SOTY is decided by like 6 dudes at Thrasher. They meet up and talk about it and just decide.
The six heads at Thrasher dug Tyshawns output this year more than everyone else’s. I don’t think it’s much more than that.
Does that confirm the public votes mean nothing?
The fact they had the party invitations ready to go for Tyshawn before voting confirms it. I’m hyped for tj but fuck thrasher for the fake competition of this when they clearly decided like 6 months ago .

He wasn’t my pick for SOTY this year, but you’re an idiot to deny his talent.

I wonder if there was some kind of deal. "TJ your Kingdom come and Supreme parts where a bit of a let down, but if you go back to backside flip the subway gap you get SOTY"
I kind of dig these hard to predict choices, and not that the biggest bag of hammers is a guaranteed win.
This way pros will put out more variety and styles of skating, it's good that you don't have to do snowboarding size rails to win.

Given his current output I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't slow down at all and tries to be the first back-to-back SOTY winner.
All the more power to him. Like others have said, he definitely sets goals for himself and works his ass off to make them happen.

Hats off to the most competitive SOTY race I can remember. Usually when 4-5 people are in the mix it’s because nobody was going for it, but that wasn’t the case this time around.
If you care about increasingly sick footage then Tyshawn winning was the best scenario. Nyjah and Louie aren’t going to slow down until they win, and Tyshawn is crazy enough to go for a third in a few years since he’s only 23.

That's in Chicago: https://youtu.be/Q5rjJV6Nqig?t=188
Hope to see a bunch of Chicago footage from him and other pros. Supreme didn't give the Chicago store a proper video like their other locations, so I wonder if its filming for that. There was just that little John Wilson video.

SOTY used to be picked by Phelps, regardless of what any malakas on the internet had to say about it. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess Burnett gets to call it now. He probably listens to people around him more than Phelps ever did, but the idea that the readers of Thrasher should get a say is completely contrary to the way it has always worked. I feel like even offering the online vote is just a joke.
Someone else said the whole point is really the build up, I don't know if that's entirely true, but if you don't enjoy the frenzy before it happens than there really isn't any point in engaging with it at all.
I am a whiny, bitter old man who hates everything, yet even I can see that Tyshawn is good. He's an incredible skateboarder, keeps it street as fuck, can do a bunch of shit no one else can, and seems to have a pretty fucking good time doing it. I'm glad he got it, hope he ollies up Wallenberg next year and wins it again.

It's pretty mad that that would be a decent sized ollie if he was just ollieing off the top of that bench, the fact that it's off the floor and over is utterly berserk. I reckon he could be the most naturally gifted athlete to be a pro skater we've ever seen, he seems to defy gravity.

He switch ollied a table tho. Twice even because of GH ;D
I dunno I’m biased cause I think NY skating is pretentious and boring to watch but think if they’re going to give out twice it should be to someone like Daewon who reinvented himself every video part.
it took him like 3 years of filming to come out with all that stuff. he will be milking it hard next year for sure, he probably wont step on a board again til 2024 ;D

Gifted Hater: See here, he's to the left of the actual bench...if we take his speed x his uni-lateral cardinal direction, account for his weight, wind and Earth axis variables, and reverse his window reflection, it's not a make.

If you've ever seen a pro skate in person it is usually really clear that they have the capacity to do things you don't see on film and often do them. Trying to claim TJ can't skate a quarterpipe is pretty fucking stupid especially since he purposefully films and pursues city center street spots.

Pretty funny that a dude who won SOTY twice probably can't do an axel stall on a 5 foot miniramp.
But hey, the stuff he does, only he can do it. Congrats to TJ.
I'm convinced everyone hating on Tyshawn are just ignorant fucks.

SOTY used to be picked by Phelps, regardless of what any malakas on the internet had to say about it. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess Burnett gets to call it now. He probably listens to people around him more than Phelps ever did, but the idea that the readers of Thrasher should get a say is completely contrary to the way it has always worked. I feel like even offering the online vote is just a joke.
Someone else said the whole point is really the build up, I don't know if that's entirely true, but if you don't enjoy the frenzy before it happens than there really isn't any point in engaging with it at all.
I am a whiny, bitter old man who hates everything, yet even I can see that Tyshawn is good. He's an incredible skateboarder, keeps it street as fuck, can do a bunch of shit no one else can, and seems to have a pretty fucking good time doing it. I'm glad he got it, hope he ollies up Wallenberg next year and wins it again.
I reckon he's probably not a million miles away from being able to ollie up the lloyds 3 in Bristol, could probably do tricks up the Southbank 7 as well.
Didn’t brophy 180 up south bank like 20 years ago?

Erick Winkowski for SOTY!! Not this year i guess it's too late but his part in that Emerica video helps solidify how good he is. Here's to a new year I hope its good for every skateboarder, keep pushing and progressing. I know its hard especially at my age and my injuries but even if it's a curb you can progress. Now that I think of it they should make a curb skater of the year since it's been so popular in the last few which is fine its fun its skateboarding not sitting on the couch being lazy when you have time and aren't injured enough to mess around. hah sorry a bit buzzed but this is my early xmas message to everyone keep it moving, I will try.

Now we just gotta get Tiago to stop dressing like he's 45 for a few months. Bring him in for the win.
tiago must not change.
it's funny how high our expectations are for that guy. he wasn't in the soty conversation at all eve though he had longest (or maybe 2nd longest by a few seconds) part in the heaviest full length of the year (in pure skating terms) plus 4 or 5 little edits for #nb. the fact they were shot so snazzily made them feel much more like ads than anything, but if you put them back to back it makes a very decent part.
I totally forgot he's on NB#...
The 45 comment is a poor joke choice. I love that dudes skating and his attitude and stoke.
Style is insane too.
Ishod and Gary illuminated the biggest flaws with the vote in that podcast clip. They are probably 100% right.
I don't even want to know the results of vote. Way too much politicking involved. I just love skating. It's my number one passion.
All four dudes was pretty neck and neck. No one's trusting a vote in 2022 anyhow. I trust the mag knows what's good for next year. I want them to keep this going for the rest of my life. Plz

People have been saying the same thing about Shane oNeil for like 13 years it's all so silly. Even if somehow these top level skaters has never skated transition in their lives they could still figure it out in one session easy.
As far as joslin goes what does a Californian train station look like? I'm not a locals only type person but people going to ny just to jump the tracks is kinda chat just find a local one.
And yes Brophy 180 up sb steps. I think Reynolds may have too

Nyjah got robbed
Is Tyshawn on one Level of cole or way in order to get Soty two times?
-
If he hadn’t won before I could see this pick. I think with his age and recent acl tear this was probably Nyjah’s peak. Tyshawn has at least 5 years to throw down similar parts. Seems a shame one of the best skaters of the last 10-15 years has never one, nor probably will.

I’ve been a huge nyjah hater pretty much since he cut off his dreadlocks and started becoming a human billboard for energy drinks and Nike but there’s no way u can tell me that Tyshawn deserved to win SOTY over him … saying it’s because of the allegations against him doesn’t make sense either.. if Thrasher cared about the allegations why would they have him in the final 4 to begin with ? They could care less about those allegations let’s be real..
I voted for TFunk but I knew those votes on the site wouldn’t matter whatsoever , if our votes really mattered Nyjah would have won by a landslide .. yes he has a lot of haters in the core skate community but mainstream wise he has millions of fans and would have smoked the competition thru fan voting .. it actually pisses me off that Thrasher would insult our intelligence by putting up some fake poll..
This is just my opinion but I don’t even give a fuck about SOTY or Thrasher anymore , Thrasher died the moment Phelps died … it will never be the same because u can’t fill his shoes … the dude was a real original character in our community and would have never let the bullshit that these other people do slide ..
Thrasher sold out and supreme sold out , supreme isn’t even selling out anymore and people are losing interest in them as a brand each and every day .. let’s be real SOTY is all political now and all about what company wants to shell out the most money to buy the trophy … Nike doesn’t care enough about skateboarding or some stupid lil niche award that nobody cares about outside skateboarding .. their not gonna throw money at thrasher to help get Nyjah over the edge but Supreme for some reason wants Tyshawn to win bad….
Did u see all the ads they have been putting out there ? Supreme has been flooding thrasher and it all makes sense now …. Tyshawn is an amazing skater and a generational talent, I’m happy nyc has a legend in the making and it’s cool to see this younger generation have someone to look up to from New York that we had when I was coming up .. my dude was Harold Hunter, he wasn’t the talent that TJ is but the dude fit the ny mold perfectly … But I have to be realistic and honest about the award this year, when I voted for TFunk I knew it was he was unlikely to really win it … I just can’t see thrasher giving it to him this early on in his career and against the other giants in Tyshawn and Nyjah…
So in my mind it was between Jah and TJ and if u look at both those parts trick for trick Nyjah wins hands down … Nyjahs parts always bore me after a minute in because I hate his style and how he dresses like some waspy tennis player but his shine on part was a beautiful piece of cinematography, their were angles used in that part I’ve never see used in other skate videos .. the music selection was also very good for a Nyjah part … then he drops the second part and it’s just banger after banger …
Nyjah can’t pop like Tyshawn but Tyshawn can’t do the tricks Nyjah does , they both don’t have the prettiest style but Nyjah can do all the tricks Tyshawn can do besides the ones that require insane pop… if u compare just tricks per minute in their parts it’s not even close , Nyjah had a trick per second damn near in some of those parts and their was no filler … This was the year in my mind that Nyjah was gonna bring it home … the dude has done everything their is to do in skateboarding and won every trophy except the elusive SOTY and this was his best chance yet …
I can’t even see how he wins it going forward if he didn’t win this year , how does he top these parts ? He’s getting older and can’t keep doing his style of skating forever… like what is Thrasher looking for ?

Hey just chill out, I just made a joke to point out the fact that TJ seems to have no interest in tranny skating. Which is pretty unusual these days when the majority of pro skaters a fairly well rounded. And if that makes you happy, yes I’ll admit that TJ can probably do an axle stall, or can he?

Bummer. 2nd soty should only be a last resort if no one's near the same level. Nyjah is the clear winner. They both have terrible fits and not great style but nyjah straight up raped (allegedly) tyshawns footage. This was not his year. Also, talking shit about people campaigning for it and then dropping 3 parts last minute makes him look like an idiot.

Whenever it's Thrasher, I just think it's about who does the more memorable "insane terrain" skating. Seems like Tyshawn's stuff slightly edged out Nyjah's as more iconic. Especially considering there is a lot of gnarly rail-chompers out there, but probably less of the type of skaters doing what Tyshawn does. Although I'd rather see variability in winners instead of a repeat, he still earned it. Chris Cole repeated when he slaughtered Wallenburg if I'm remembering right. So, it's of a similar thing. At least it seems like people want Nyjah to win now, whereas in the past it seemed like everyone was playing "keep away" with him.

Can Tyshawn even skate the mega ramp tho???

Nyjah got robbed
Is Tyshawn on one Level of cole or way in order to get Soty two times?
Yes, because he won it twice.

If he hadn’t won before I could see this pick. I think with his age and recent acl tear this was probably Nyjah’s peak. Tyshawn has at least 5 years to throw down similar parts. Seems a shame one of the best skaters of the last 10-15 years has never one, nor probably will.
Neither Penny nor Heath ever won SOTY and they’re both basically the unquestioned greatest skaters of their generation. It do indeed just be that way.

Already had one. Should've given it to goatjah

These takes are just such try hard bullshit . Go into a NYC subway station and try and skate across the train tracks . That shit is not just a “flat gap” .
Maybe he missed his fakie heel down the 5? Or his switch big spin flip fs board , or his fakie hard flip over a street ? Or maybe he missed the sw big spin heel over the rail into the bank ? Or the noseblunt UP the pyramid ledge , or how about the bs noseblunt on bay blocks , or the switch noseblunt on bay blocks .
People are really reaching hard to try and discredit tyshawns skating . And all seem pretty wack trying to do it.
to be fair, its really hard to tell what's going on with the way strobeck filmed him

I heard the soty trip is going to be centered around the Bob Burnquist mega ramp.

Nyjah has an assault allegation, will never win
TJ Rogers talked about Plan B "doing (Decenzo) dirty", prompting Danny Way to block him from winning SOTY
Louie Lopez, Ishod and T-Funk didn't do enough tricks over trash cans and flat gaps
Thrasher still had to award someone this month whether keyboard warriors agree or not

Nope, you did not get my sarcasm. you are delusional if you think Tyshawn pushed the Level of skateboarding as cole or way did. Its like giving Soty to Danny Wainwright 20 yaers ago because he jumped over some thrash cans in bristol

Both times Tyshawn has won soty people act like he only put out clips over trash cans.

Yeah, but like only Bob Burnquist skates mega ramps so it’s not like Way’s 2nd win is all that influential. And Cole won his 2nd SOTY by doing hard shit down some stuff in a competition, wouldn’t say that pushed skating compared to what Heath, Busenitz, Dylan, Leo Romero or Jake Johnson was doing around the same time.
-
Tyshawn's curse is to make everything look way too easy/effortless and then have Fat Bill filming only his feet to add injury to insult. Literally no one is doing the shit he is doing let alone in the spots he's doing them.
The raw shear of power he has is unmatched and if you dont agree you're in total denial.
And he's only getting started... 23 y/o, pretty sure we'll still watch him be the first to take it 3 times. Truly one of a kind.

i think a big point of what makes him special is that it's not just his ollies or his basics - it's everything.
it's rare for someone to be able to apply that level of pop to all their tricks. if you think of other skaters who are really defined by their pop (hayes, brophy, westgate, wainwright) it's not like they can apply that to any and every trick in their arsenal. it's usually just the ollie's, 180s, pop shuvs and some simpler flip tricks.
even tiago has certain tricks that you won't really see him doing over stuff very much. things like tre flips or nollie bs flips - ones that just feel extra awkward to take over something tall.
with tj you feel he's the one guy who can do more or less any trick over a tall bump to bar.

i think because tyshawn actually owns the company unlike probably 99% of the other brands in skateboarding that are apparently "owned by pros" in actuality some white guys with money own it and put a pro's name on it to make the connection to the skate world (in the case of crail tap its a white woman instead) the skaters are never the ones with the money... probably all your favorite brands FA Frog etc is not even completely owned by the skaters evne though they say "this is dill / ave company" they are probably just invested into it but not 100% ownership (i dont know this for fact i could be wrong here feel free to correct me)
i think it might actually be a direct shot at michael alfred because the money he gets for his company was probably from some white guy

If a black man starts a business but he has investors, then it's not a "real" black owned business?
Even if Tyshawn started King with 100% his own money it'd still be a bitch move to disregard other black business owners who couldn't afford to do it alone.
Do bank loans count against a "real" black owned business too? How far do we gotta follow this rabbit hole to ensure Tyshawn is infallible and can do or say no wrong?

Both Dill and Fat Bill seem to have an aesthetic fascination with black iconography. But since they both did so much for Tyshawn's career from the beginning, I wouldn't think he'd be so disrespectful.

I missed an earlier comment where someone said it could be a shot at Mikey Alfredo. If that's the case, then please proceed... as you were.
im still so confused as to how this is still a question between FA or Violet. It’s obviously at violet.

about 8 or 10 years ago a Deluxe/high speed employee told me SOTY is not chose by Phelps (as people loved to get mad at Jake) or by the voting. I think years back it was that way, but now it is a complete different method.
-Now each shoe company approaches Thrasher with a year long marketing scheme they will do through out the upcoming year with Thrasher and the skater they put forward who is going to film parts, interviews, covers etc. to be worthy of SOTY. A couple cpmpanies do this, Thrasher decides who they will go with and SOTY is eventually announced. I'm not saying this is true, but I was told so and and it seems to make sense. Look at some of the stuff that dropped right before SOTY, seems like they knew.
If it was THRASHER skater of the year it would seem like T-Funk who filmed a full-blown SF ripping part would have won?
T-Funk has no shoe deal so he had no chance, if the above info was true.

Tyshawn is a kook based upon but not limited to:
- Saying he is the first black owned deck brand when Maxallure, DGK, City stars, Hopps all exist and or existed
- Throws shade at wide Bills company when he is partly the reason Tyshawn is where he is at today
- Calls gifted hater racist for the switch ollie that obviously wasn't a make
- Says there isn't a formula for winning SOTY but proceeds to dump 4 years of footage in the last month
- States skating should be more like boxing and skaters should compete to "win" and talk shit on each others parts
- Doesnt watch anyone elses parts showing he doesnt even give AF about the true passion of skating
Not to mention his "businesses" take for example his restaurant which has horrible reviews. Or his underwear brand "brick" that legit looks like gag gift boxer briefs that are 40 dollars for a two pack. IDK how tf people still give this dude the pass just because he can pop his tricks high while wearing a one piece jumpsuit or some short shorts.

no idea if this conspiracy theory is true, but it would be understandable seeing as it made no sense for Tyshawn to be Phelps choice when he won his first SOTY. Evan is about as psychedelic hellride as it gets, Phelper would have went with him over Tyshawn any day.

I just wanted to give a special thanks to the guys booing last night at the awards presentation. That made my night. So many of us felt it inside of us, but we’re not rude enough to say it out loud. Had me cracking up. Think I heard a nineties style “west siiiiide!!!” yelled out as well. Felt like I was at the Source awards for a minute.

Remember folks, Tyshawn is literally the first black man to start a skateboard company.
What a fucking kook, now I really can't wait to watch King fail.
"(King) the only black owned skate company...who else black owned? Black owned not black inspired, black owned..."

He mentions elsewhere - possibly in the chat he did with Gary Rogers - that he wanted to release The General in the summer but Burnett asked him to hold it.
Potentially more fuel for the fire:
I remember when I first saw it I had to watch Cyrus’s part a few times before I could move on to the rest of the video. He really put in work for that part.
Yeah, he had an amazing year in 2020. I remember looking back and thinking of all the crazy shit he did last year. I didn’t even tell anyone at Thrasher that the video was coming but apparently Cyrus could have easily been a SOTY contender had they’d known. But I just didn’t think about that at all.

In fairness, white males aren’t really given a lot of encouragement to be cocky or outwardly self promotional; that’s seen as a pretty gross trait when a white male exhibits it. This societal discouragement could make white males more judgmental of self promotion/ ego / cockiness. If you’re going to make something that is seen as unquestionably negative (cockiness/ ego) in one community, a positive staple of another, you might conflate people disliking a personality trait (albeit one encouraged in the black community) with racism.

I’d argue that it was a very smart SOTY choice from the perspective of a magazine getting quality content in the future:
Nyjah and Louie aren’t quitting until they win one.
Tyshawn is definitely going for a third win, especially with all the shit he’s getting right now.
While I think the race debate is wack, it’s not like this is the first time a less prolific dude with less gnarly footage won. If that wasn’t the case then Koston should have like 5 SOTYs. So I can see how people would go there, especially if random dude on Instagram doesn’t know that Nyjah is half black.

It's almost as if the intention of SOTY is to promote the Thrasher brand rather than to appease the commenters on Instagram.

Those are indeed two different expressions. Bravo le veau.
Yet they are both adequate once used in a context of generalisation. One is systematic (all), the other is not (so many).

I for one think tyshawn's skating deserved it as much as any one of the finalists. You can have your preferences but all of the top 4 did their specific kind of skating at the top level and were very prolific. The lack of excitement for me was with how his footage was handled this year. From the spreading of his best footage throughout three unecessary parts to billiams abysmal handling of his supreme part. All his accomplishments this year should have been a slam dunk on paper but watching it just didn't deliver on the wow factor.

Yeah, it felt like everything surrounding him and his own skating was a let down, but he himself delivered.
Filming? Trash. Even the filming in non-Strobeck parts didn't do his tricks justice (and that's even aside from tablegate).
Music choice? The General trailer was X Gon Give It To Ya. That would have been the way better DMX track for his style of skating (second track was awesome though). Songs for his other parts were a bit weak too.
He even gave extra flare with the tablegate redo and the BS flip announcement. Just wish everyone else around him stepped it up a bit more.

I think Gary was in a tough spot where he’s friends with these cats but he’s basically the face of the mag so his job as a host is to ease the tension. He mediated well.
That's wild that you think the host should give some sort of Ted Talk.

I watched that recently and found it hilarious when they were talking about how no one on FA was doing anything. Nakel joined in like he wasn't one of the inactive ones that was collecting a check for doing the minimum. Dude has second hand tyshawn confidence and is the david loy of that entourage.
Also, didn't tyshawn say in his interview he doesn't watch skating? Maybe thats how he missed the 2 parts from Aiden, Elijah, full parts from AVE, multiple from Louie, plus the entire hockey team within the past two years. Just cause they didn't want to release anything through them doesn't mean they werent doing anything.

Agreed. After hearing Kader’s fried Bunt interview and reading the Sneeze article with KRod, I feel like some of the old school guys that created companies like Dill and Reynolds had some bad experiences with predatory managers, work ethic, and monetary advice when they were young professionals. I could see how they might not want to force some of the things that they were made to do back in the day on their teams now and that creates an environment where skaters become ‘lazy’ doing other projects (like Sage with his music for ex) and ultimately not skating as much as professionals are expected to skate. The negative side to this is we don’t get to see some of our favorite pros skate as much- but if they’re getting a decent salary and their mental health is good I think it’s cool that Dill, Reynolds…etc aren’t on their asses every day trying to get forced clips.
It’s great that TJ wants to be productive, but his partner in crime Nakel, was the epitome of benefitting from not getting made to work hard from FA and Supreme and as you just pointed out a ton of FA Hockey skaters - including TJ’s talent equal on the team LL- put out quite a bit of decent footage this year.

Probably some racists snuck in, only way to explain how they wouldn’t like tyshawn.
Only explanation is that some proud boys sneaked inside

I for one think tyshawn's skating deserved it as much as any one of the finalists. You can have your preferences but all of the top 4 did their specific kind of skating at the top level and were very prolific. The lack of excitement for me was with how his footage was handled this year. From the spreading of his best footage throughout three unecessary parts to billiams abysmal handling of his supreme part. All his accomplishments this year should have been a slam dunk on paper but watching it just didn't deliver on the wow factor.
Agreed. Tis the nature of hype. It's bound to be underwhelming.

Can anyone confirm if booing the winner is a common occurrence at the SOTY parties?
Going to a celebration with hater energy is major kook activities.
I thought he was referencing how fighters will talk shit at weigh ins?

Huh? Was just saying it's kooky to go to someone's party if you don't like em.
Do we really have to spell out why that is lame?
The GH race card thing was outta pocket for sure. And regarding the hecklers, I was never insinuating that they were racist.
Now that you've brought it up, I guess it doesn't seem too farfetched that someone who goes out of their way to go to a SOTY party and to hate on the winner might have some similarities to a racist in terms of logic and how they channel their anger

Nak's rant brought me so much vicarious joy i was doing an approving grimace face and nodding the whole time. honestly shoutout to fat bill too for defending his friend. i felt bad for TJ he looked so nervous giving his speech and he was very gracious, bummer he had to deal with those annoying drunk twats

The fuck... Vibes from the audience seemed a bit weird. And as a result, on stage as well.
I've never seen people try to sandbag a SOTY so hard before this year. USA seriously on some fucked vibes right now.
All of these people trying to ruin the moment, their brains and personalities are fucked from getting COVID too many times. How are you going to go to an award night just to be weird? Let the guy speak on his night. So strange.
What the $#%k is going on at Thrasher.? That was all kinds of regular.

White people so triggered over his attitude and fits
A lot of the flack he gets really does come down to this, so many frail and timid white skaters that hate to see a confident young black man succeed in ways they can only dream of.
Meanwhile they all want to see a confident young black Nyjah, who is more successful than Tyshawn, win SOTY.... your logic really stands up to scrutiny dipshit
who mentioned nyjah? u speak for every white person now? idiot.
If you allow yourself to generalize about all the white and timid frail skateboarders so carelessly, it's only fair that you let people generalize as freely as you do.
"so many" =/= "all". idiot.
Have you considered that maybe some skaters don't want to see a fucking kenya fit in every single clip in the supreme video?
-
haven’t read all these threads but i bet part of the reason tyshawn wanted to win was cuz louie/FA was seen as the main contender for most of the year.
he definitely deserved it too
-
Louie deserved it, but supreme pays the bills

Well, it seems like with the GH leak, a lot of the debate of sponsor financial influence is out the window (thankfully).

Nak is the worst. He’s the Salacious Crumb to Tyshawn’s Jabba the Hut (but Tyshawn is not a fat villain).
It would have been nice if they just let Tyshawn speak for himself. His speech was good on its own.

For $2200, hand the guy a normal sized check in a blank envelope. That’s embarrassingly cheep considering what these companies pay to buy off thrasher SOTY.

He was just claiming he’s “independent” for what that’s worth. So I guess he gets a contractor 1099 for 250k a year or so

Rn is definitely not the time to just chill I would think. Strike while the iron is hot. Build the brand. Film film film. You might be bogged down by shit later on.

They were pretty clear what way they saw it going in that interview, but who knows. In the movies, after a heist, the thief’s are usually trying to chill on a beach though.
