"you liked that shit"
-
If someone re-edited that into a 4 minute all skating no slowmo part it would probably be in my top 3 all time parts.
-
Filming sucked especially on the switch flip into the fountain and Ollie at courthouse
-
good, but soty worthy?
merry christmas to you all

"Bless" whoever made that edited down version on SLAP that made the whole video 38 minutes. So much useless bullshit in here that I didn't see before, especially him shoving the fences out of peoples hands and telling them to fuck off when they're peacefully trying to do their job. Sometimes I hate skateboarders so much.

Lots of hugging. Very cute.

Thats kind of skateboarding dude.. Youve never wanted to get a trick? Its part of the game. BUT when Im out of town I do worry about burning other peoples spots. Those ones are kinda already toast tho so i dunno
I agree with the edited down version tho.
-
I feel like it got overlooked that he did a switch backside 270 onto a handrail in this. Is that the first ever done?
Some of that was really groundbreaking shit, like some of the best skating ever done from a difficulty/athleticism required standpoint
Not that SOTY isn't the dumbest shit ever, but you're crazy if you don't think that was worthy

can one of you bozos gif the nollie 180 over the picnic table?
thanks :-*

enough with fighting with security and giving people shit for doing their damn jobs. your job is skateboarding, pretty damn lucky especially when you can goto someone elses country.

only got three mins into it. So much useless random slow mo bull shit. Bill shoulda never taken a break filming fisheye.

I'm fine with getting aggressive with security if they're treating you like shit or giving you no respect, but they were silently just doing their job and Tyshawn was being a dick ripping it out of there hands and then seeing him mouth "fuck off" to them. You can be a skateboarder and still treat people with a basic level of respect.

TJ is a little shit for fucking with peeps like that , this part was filmed terribly and takes away from the tricks being done
And he doesn’t deserve SOTY
Merry Christmas
-
The way he gives maximum sass to security guards reminds me of Jim Greco during his bad boy days of baker 2 and 3.
The ollie over the subway entrance was epic, I think Im agreed that some angles could be filmed better.
From the interview about the film, all the slow mo and extra stuff is to attract people who are not skaters into the sensibilities of the skateboard lifestyle.
I back anyone practicing a look or artistic trope in their work. Would we rather have had TY EVANS film it with a drone?
-
the back story i was told about this sw 360 flip is:
The whole crew was in Paris and Tyshawn was pissed off because the hotel they were staying at wasn't "high standard" enough. because of that he kinda chose to not skate during the trip. On the last night they went for a better hotel and Tyshawn decided to get that sw tre on the next morning, a few hours before the flight.
i heard it through the grapevine but it could explain why he was acting like that.
Ok he's blessed but it definitely highlights he acts kinda like a spoiled kid too.
-
Bill shoulda never taken a break filming fisheye.
I heard him correct people lately
"I prefer to be known as William"
What a boujee collection of assholes
-
There are a lot of double sets around the world. But you must try to beat that security guard to make your video part more gangsta from Bronx. Skaters sucks.
-
It’s like a part and the b-sides all in one edit. Dude tries to make these fits and headbands work but strikes out. Sadly it’s the only little bit of karma we get for this guy acting like a high school bully everywhere
-
...and he clipped!
-
Evan Smith’s skating is light years ahead of Tyshawn’s. Supreme hype.
-
he fakie flipped a street gap. you’re all tripping.

There’s a video of Na’kel being a ginormous piece of shit to some security guards and (female) school administrators in some video from this year or last: He doesn’t deserve any respect whatsoever or anything skateboarding related after that shit.
Tyshawns wasn’t as bad in comparison.

well deserved SOTY
-
Everyone talking about the filming and security guard shit but no one mentioning the fakie inward heelflip over the table, the perfect nollie bs flip over that black nyc hubba, THE FAKIE OLLIE OVER A BUMP TO BAR, the switch Ollie over that big ass road cylinder... and you could go on and on.
Talk about something interesting for once.

It’s 90% celebration and hype. The skating is good but it makes me not care when all his buddies act like he won the super bowl with every trick. If he were humble about it, i’d like him much more.
Shave his part down to 3 minutes and i’m in.

That's really not true. Most of my housemates and friends who don't skate, who are are all trendy as shit, have seen at least parts of it or know exactly what it is.

is the LA triple set trick staged? They bolt cut a chain? security does nothing after getting assaulted. i feel like if I grabbed a guards bike like that I would get maced. hella people standing around watching. The make shot has nak(a movie star; mid 90s) pushing the security guard out of the way in the foreground as TJ rolls up for the make. the shots too perfect and seems fake. with nak and jonah hill in the mix a permit to shoot there seems possible.

This sounds impressive on paper but the moving construction is basically still and he taps it. That nollie flip is contentious too.
That switch tre at the end of Blessed is sloppy as hell too. I think he’s good but I’m not blown away by what he’s done this past year.

Good part : Yes
Trendy : Yes
Best Skater In The World Right Now : Not Sure about that
-
What gnarlier on the paris double set? Switch tre or Nakel's nollie hard flip?
-
Best soty pick in a long time. But didnt purple come out this year? Laughable to think anybody topped sweet Bobby Ds part in that vid -fucks sakes!

Like that changes anything.

Method acting for his movie role.

I loved it.
Probably favorite video part since... i don't know, Kareem in Trilogy?
I could see the emotion and when the Bob Dylan song came in.. man. Heavy.
Skated in the city mostly.. hard to skate stuff with all types of shit to deal with.
Theres a ton of reasons why i like it so much.. but its mostly just feeling that doesn't

That's why they didn't really react it's not their job to kick people out.

this part is good, but i still don't think it's SOTY worthy. He had maybe 4 minutes of footage total this year, including instagram clips. Other dudes, like Milton, had like, 45 minutes of footy, including shit he should have died on. That gap to lipslide is just as hard as nollie flipping the street gap.
-
The part was great, SOTY material or not. Kid has come up and his skating has evolved,he's only going to get better.

I really enjoyed that part. Tyshawn rips

it doesn't sound impressive it is. calling the nollie flip contentious disproves your point, of course a trick like that is controversial
-
Great part ... not soty worthy imo, but the profit able to be made off cross promotion was probably too much for Phelps to pass up ... and the filming was fucking horrible, I mean Jesus Christ there were at least 3-4 tricks that are so much gnarlier in person than the angles lead you to believe
-
wow there's like three people in this whole thread with good opinions... stop complaining. this part rules.

The tricks are great, the filming is horrible ... is that debatable?

ugh yes, fine. it is. i've kind of come to unintentionally enjoy it though. i had a reading in school one time discussing analog and digital technology which mentioned that appeal still remains for analog technology because it's not perfect and leaves gaps that your brain has to fill in with what is essentially it's own interpretation of the subject matter. not that it's entirely the same, i think of that with bill's filming, though some of it is flat out pretty bad. the angle on the courthouse barrel ollie does it no justice.

You’ve taken that out of context. I’ve said multiple times in this thread I think he’s good, ie I ‘like’ it. I’m, like others, questioning whether it warrants skater of the year. A lot of other skaters ripped pretty hard this year and in the past so it’s pretty high standard one must skate at to win SOTY.

the thing with tyshawns part is that it felt special and felt like a moment in skateboarding for alot of people (not everyone obviously) but i cant say the same for evans element part and i think thats why they gave tyshawn soty

That and that switch flip are two that really come to mind for me. Also if that bump to bar backside flip is the rail I'm thinking of that somehow came off as way less gnarly than when I looked at it years ago ... in which case I feel bad for Tyshawn because he's risking himself only for it to not even come across as crazy as it is

To be fair though, I'm old and jaded and a lot of shit is not appealing to me these days.

It felt special because every trick was punctuated with other skaters celebrating and chasing him around

is the LA triple set trick staged? They bolt cut a chain? security does nothing after getting assaulted. i feel like if I grabbed a guards bike like that I would get maced. hella people standing around watching. The make shot has nak(a movie star; mid 90s) pushing the security guard out of the way in the foreground as TJ rolls up for the make. the shots too perfect and seems fake. with nak and jonah hill in the mix a permit to shoot there seems possible.
haha what the fuck. this is the funniest shit i’ve read in the thread so far. just go there yourself and see what happens.
what does that even mean? what do you think will happen when i go there? ill get to skate and discover I'm wrong? nope. I've actually been there and you can barely even walk around there with a skateboard. security was ready taze my ass...peeps in the biz know how to get permits to shoot on location.

"Bless" whoever made that edited down version on SLAP that made the whole video 38 minutes. So much useless bullshit in here that I didn't see before, especially him shoving the fences out of peoples hands and telling them to fuck off when they're peacefully trying to do their job. Sometimes I hate skateboarders so much.
Felt the same way- it was hard as a father and a taxpayer to not think of these fucking kids as brats and entitled. Especially when they were pretty close to harassing regular people who were just working. In my day, we would just come back. Not confront and punch glass windows like Nakel did. That was a bit extreme. I’m all for the skate or die attitude but sometimes it feels like some of the behavior is a bit unnecessary if not completely uncalled for. It’s right on the line. That said, I completely believe Tyshawn deserved SOTY. For everything that I mentioned above (dedication) plus style and a refreshing approach, he deserves the accolade. Plus he looks damn good skating down the street in New York with the city going on in the background. Finally, Will Stroebeck should’ve had some consultation in the editing room. But what do I know I’m drinking Gin.

you don't need any inside resource to get a permit (https://www.filmla.com/for-filmmakers/permits/), but it can get pricey. Hell, two blocks down the street it that really low 20 stair rail Dyrdek shot for that DC commericial/Hard Day's Night parody, though that was an actual production. I'd be curious to see if Jenkem could do an article about permitting a high traffic/bust spot somewhere to see if they can get away with a session

Here’s the TJ interview that was in his Thrasher

Love this story too:
L: The day you landed, though, it was a battle and a half. What happened while you were trying it?
I was skating the spot, getting really close—I might’ve even stuck it and some big-ass 18-wheeler truck pulls up next to us. Out of nowhere, the door at the top of the bump to bar just swings open. I’ve never even seen that thing open before. The superintendent pops out and puts a brick in it to prop the door open. We’re trying to figure out what’s going on and tell him we’re just trying to skate this thing and get out of there. He tells us that they hired a trash company and had to take all of the trash out of the building. We look inside and there was something like 100 cases of empty bottles, cans and 200 trash bags. The trash company had two guys and they told us it was going to take about two or three hours for them to finish it. We were, like, ten deep so we were, like, Fuck it, we all gonna pitch in. Everyone took off they shirt and got busy. The company didn’t even do shit and we ended up doing the job in less than 30 minutes. They loaded the truck up and thanked us. We told them that we were going to have to bill them later for the extra hands. Anyway, they left and I had to warm up again, then started to get in the groove again. Out of nowhere I just did it. That was the hardest trick I’ve ever tried and we had to put in work just to make it skateable that day. It was the happiest day of my life.

^^^ that’s hilarious. I bought this Thrasher because the cover is ill but apparently haven’t read all his interview. I had a door open right in front of me like that (except, ya know, it was on a 2 step manny pad not an enormous bump to bar). I was one second from popping onto a nose manual and door comes flying open followed by a school janitor with trash bags.

you don't need any inside resource to get a permit (https://www.filmla.com/for-filmmakers/permits/), but it can get pricey. Hell, two blocks down the street it that really low 20 stair rail Dyrdek shot for that DC commericial/Hard Day's Night parody, though that was an actual production. I'd be curious to see if Jenkem could do an article about permitting a high traffic/bust spot somewhere to see if they can get away with a session
there's people who get permits for a living, you pay them to go get it for you.

Man thrasher took his part down way too soon.
-
Those were firemen not security guards.
grasping at straws level 9000

Yea that shit should stay up for free by now tbh. Supreme has enough money.

here's a shortened version someone put up a few days ago
-
I think the security guard in the beginning is the same security guard at 15:45 in Shanahan's Street Sweeper part
-
It’s a good part but overall I was more blown away by Glicks souvenir part.
-
I wonder who would have won if Tyshawn skated for element instead of Supreme. An element rider isn’t gonna make Trasher any money. so if it hadn’t been about the money, who knows.
I really like this part tho.
Tyshawn is an incredibly talented athlete.
He’s our own Lebron. Kinda wild that in 2018 so many of the best up and coming skateboarders on the planet are jocks.
Skateboarding is weird.
-
Alt-angle of the switch flip. Definitely didn’t appreciate how high it had to be. I’m not as mad at Strobeck as some of yall but it does seem like some clips needed different angles to show how fucked up what TJ is doing really is.

Did you read the interview? I definitely would not consider Tyshawn a jock

Maybe I’m just judging a book by its cover.
How often are Prom Kings not jocks tho?

Prom king, the most popular guy in school, the king of New York, the golden boy, the starting quarterback.
On another note,I actually love how he landed towards the front of the board on the switch tre. It looked dope af imo.
Thanks to whoever made that trimmed down edit.

is the LA triple set trick staged? They bolt cut a chain? security does nothing after getting assaulted. i feel like if I grabbed a guards bike like that I would get maced. hella people standing around watching. The make shot has nak(a movie star; mid 90s) pushing the security guard out of the way in the foreground as TJ rolls up for the make. the shots too perfect and seems fake. with nak and jonah hill in the mix a permit to shoot there seems possible.
haha what the fuck. this is the funniest shit i’ve read in the thread so far. just go there yourself and see what happens.
you're right. there's a possibility. i forget sometimes that supreme is a billion dollar business and could swing some shit like that.

This dude vs Nyjah
Both dropped a part at the end of year. Gnarly tricks and debatable styles. But only one got SOTY.
-
so from what ive gathered in this thread, hes a good skater, photogenic per se, but not "soty worthy" in the tricks he does, and his actions does have him come across as agro asshole but he'll probably chill out eventually. my black soty pick would still be ishod or 2018 soty pick would have been milton but congrats to tj i suppose.

I struggle to climb over and sit in the fountain. His switch flip does not compute.
