Could’ve been way cooler if they expanded Hardies into a board brand instead of making something new, especially with this name and logo

Graphic design bliss that logo, up there with Wayward.

i can see this brand being up there with some of the all time greats like numbers & 3D. in all seriousness though i back tyshawn a lot & wish the best for him & his new project. hopefully the graphics are a lot better than the logo.

As usual I'm not sure who's trolling and who's ignorant, so I'll just leave this article here for people who don't get why a black man would name his company King.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/wp/2018/05/11/why-i-call-my-male-friends-king/
It's not my place to judge the name choice, but there's definitely a whole lot more thought and meaning behind it than some people might think.

Do you think it’s that deep? His underwear company is called brick and Hardies (with its fisting sex toy logo) is named after a game where he and friends would hit each other. Basquiat’s crowns this is not.

^I'd bet 0% of people were wondering why a black person would call their company king.

I think it's usually gone bad when companies have done that eg habitat and element shoes. Shorty's would be the example where it improved the company but they did have to drop basically the whole team. Hardies has a decent team don't know how many would leave their board sponsors. Guess we'll see in time

So, this is like a hood monarch?

There's a neat little way around most paywalls: Just open archive.is and copy the URL of the article you wanna read into the search bar. You can then open and read an archived version of the article. Comes in really handy!
The gist is that king is used as a term of encouragement and endearment in the black community. It's meant to be uplifting and reassuring. Since Tyshawn faces a lot of criticism based on racial undertones, I think it's important to point this out before people start calling him boastful and jocky again. (I realize many people will do that anyway, of course, but maybe there's a least some who think about it before judging him.)
Do you think it’s that deep? His underwear company is called brick and Hardies (with its fisting sex toy logo) is named after a game where he and friends would hit each other. Basquiat’s crowns this is not.
I wouldn't say this is deep at all. On the contrary, it's quite on the nose. But just like kids don't get the most blatant sex jokes in movies, even such an obvious meaning tends to go right over the heads of people who rarely interact with and/or show little interest in black communities.
What do you think is the meaning? "Look at me, I'm the king!"? Possible, of course. But I just don't think Tyshawn is that kind of dude.
^I'd bet 0% of people were wondering why a black person would call their company king.
There's literally already a post in here that's says it's a ripoff of Hop King. As I said, I can't tell if it's trolling or ignorance, but judging by a lot of posts in other threads about Tyshawn and other black skaters, there's a LOT of ignorance going on on Slap.

Logo is very ass

uncreative name. uncreative logo. to me IC is even better. at least it had personality.
it doesnt jump into your eye. if the boards look like this with the corwn the middle im never ever going to buy one.
rather ride blank boards.
hardies logo is sick though.
-
I'm Tyshawn's fan but holy shit, that logo is beyond horrendous... what in the "design is my passion" is that?! I'm at a loss of words honestly. And the name... Jesus Christ.
Honestly this makes Nyjah's Disorder look good in comparison (let that sink in).

this logo looks like they went to snoop doggs instagram and DM'd the first person who commented "im a young aspiring graphic designer hit me up if you need an album cover or profile pic."
-
choose a profile picture out of these 9 (alien head, baseball, poodle) for your xbox account ass logo
-
I may be echoing what others have said but the idea and meaning behind it: empowering and cool! Execution of the logo and connotation of the name: leaves a lot to be desired.
This feels like a local C or B tier brand. Tyshawn out here doing numbers with his dope restaurant, his pro model shoes, and everything else he's got his hands dipped into. But this? Idk, i want it to do well, but the first impressions are gonna be mixed.
-
Which legacy company will King replace on the wall at your local shop?
-
yah, honestly can’t see this brand lasting on star power alone. what shops are gonna be buying these decks? i can’t see my locals carrying them. i’ve seen maybe one violet board, and i feel like they’ve actually got a solid identity with cool enough graphics (not for me) for people to buy. but apples to oranges i guess
-
Fucking Awful
-
Not a fan of the logo aswell but I'm looking forward to the graphics because I'm positive it will not be just a crown in the middle like mentioned above
Also super stoked on the upcoming video
-
I don't think brands like this necessarily need or even want to be staples in core shops. I wouldn't be surprised if Tyshawn's goal is simply to do his own thing and have the company do well enough to stay afloat and not bleed money. I obviously don't have any insights in his finances, but I'm guessing he doesn't just light those Adidas checks on fire. It can absolutely makes sense from a financial point of view to invest that money into his own company instead of keeping it under the mattress, even though and sometimes especially if the company isn't very profitable. That can be achieved by relying on a couple major online resellers and direct b2c sales if your reach is big enough which definitely is the case for Tyshawn. Let's not forget that 99% of Slap users won't be the target audience for this brand.

Given the name / connotations behind it hoping he gets Carl Aikens and Kader (if he's not already on Violet) onboard as well

That tre flip ad is so fucked, if he actually rides off and roles away after then I'm fully expecting a SOTY winning part. Hope that date on the site is a full vid plus extra stuff from the speculated supreme vid. Should be a bunch of footy coming

Let’s not pretend that most skate company names and logos are any good. We got Real FFS and they’re selling fine. Terrible graphics, stupid name, ass logo. It’s not that important. People will be hyped and there’s a lot more to keeping them hyped than the name & logo, which to me are both ok.

I'm sure the real logo and identity (it does have one) looked fucking great when it started decades ago. It would do absolutely dog shit now.
As someone said this looks like a vaping company that rebrands itself every quarter

Also, if one of your brands is already called Hardies, I wouldn’t name my other company something that sounds close to another burger fast food place

Judging by the fire sale FA had unloading unsold inventory. It is probably a very difficult time to start a board brand. That said if you were to do so, everything about brand has to be on point.

Generic and sterile name and logo.

That logo makes the disorder logo look profound.

This is why pros who start brands should hire graphic designers or use other artist for their graphics. Polars aesthetic is dialed with Jacob and Tynan Kerr, Tyshawn and Na-Kel would be wise to do something similar.

Male friendship is often mocked, in the many “bro culture” memes and the jokey way we invoke the word “bromance.” For both men and women, it’s easier to laugh and ridicule than to accept that genuine love between male friends is real, and can be wholesome and completely devoid of toxic masculinity.
My male friends are some of the most supportive and loving people I know. They have given me jobs, told me when my fly was down, checked in on me when I ghosted them, let me know when I put too much Vaseline on my face, given me space when I’m wyling out, texted me when I’m anxious, talked me out of dumb decisions and held me when I cried. But more than anything else, they have loved me and appreciated me. Which is why my male friends and I have been following the newish trend among black men to call one another “king.”
Male friendships are appreciated in some areas of pop culture. Judd Apatow has made an entire career out of movies about them. If you were a white man in the mid-2000s and wanted to be an actor, you could go audition for one of his movies that featured Seth Rogen and hope you were cast opposite him as his white best friend.
Jay-Z and Kanye West are on-and-off best friends who made a monumental joint album in 2011 about their brotherhood and being successful, famous black men at the top of their game. The biggest rap group in the world right now is Migos, made up of Quavo, Takeoff and Offset, a trio of best friends who also are related to one another, rap together, make money together and love each other.
These are some areas of pop culture that I look to as models for what friendship can be. But ultimately I do things my way. Last week, my best friend Isaiah was dealing with a tough personal issue, and it hurt me that he was hurting. I woke up the next day, typed a beautiful text to him in which I called him a king, offered to buy him Chick-fil-A, and told him that I loved him and would be there for him if he needed to talk that day and every day that followed.
Sometimes “friend,” “buddy,” “pal” or “bro” doesn’t suffice. “King” is a word that goes a step further than others in proclaiming your love and appreciation. It’s like: I see you out there. You’re doing your thing, and we may not agree on the best song off Frank Ocean’s “Blonde,” but you are a king.
When I’m calling you a king, I’m admiring your sauce and trying to remind you that you do have that sauce. I’ll see a homie on Twitter feeling down, and I’ll text them four words: You are a king. I’ll be on Instagram and see that my friend Stephen just got a new haircut, and I’ll respond to his story with one four-letter word: king. I’ll greet my friend Alston at his birthday party with “Happy birthday, king.” I’ll be going through something stressful, and one of my homies will tell me: “You got this, king.”
Men calling each other king isn’t a new phenomenon. In the black community, people have been calling one another kings and queens for decades as a term of endearment and to support the idea that black people collectively descended from African royalty. Writer Damon Young pointed out the issues with this in a 2016 essay arguing against the practice, saying: “If you’re from a place where kings and queens existed, there’s a small chance you actually directly descended from them. And a much, much, much, much, much, much, much larger chance you descended from people who were ruled by them. And, if history is any guide, if you happen to be from a place with an unfathomably wealthy ruling class, that unfathomable wealth most likely ended with the ruling class.”
But many songs still perpetuate this idea. A 2013 Jay-Z song opens with an intro from Pimp C’s last interview, in which he talks about black people originating from kings. Despite the historical inaccuracy, calling each other kings and queens is simply a reminder of black Americans’ history in Africa before slavery, something that many in this country don’t know much about.
In the past year, “king” as a term of endearment among black people has become more popular and taken center stage on Twitter. There’s no specific meme or tweet from an account with several thousand followers that started it, and no BuzzFeed article full of tweets from people calling each other king to explain it. Rather it’s happened organically, the way many things do on Twitter.
However, with the resurgence of king-calling, it is understandable that some black people are not pleased that non-black men have co-opted the term.
“They always latch onto black endearment,” my friend Guled told me. “You don’t qualify.”
I’m a black man with tortoiseshell glasses and a nose ring, and I live in Brooklyn, so I do have white friends. However, we live in a patriarchal society where white men are the most privileged. They have been looked at as kings for centuries, and at this point I’m just not in the mood anymore to say what has already been said systemically. I would rather devote my time and breath to telling those among my male friends who will always live in a world that really doesn’t want them that they have that sauce and are the masters of that sauce.
Self-confidence fuels everything we do as human beings. Do you have the confidence in yourself to quit that weird marketing job and pursue your passion for cooking? Do you have the confidence in yourself to get that new haircut and proudly rock it? Do you have the confidence to just be you all the time and never sacrifice that for anyone? In 2018, there are so many things going on that affect our self-confidence and perception of ourselves as men, but when your kings got you and let you know that they love you and will always have your back? There’s nothing you can’t do.

All hail King Tyshawn I. At least now we know why he was laying on that couch so dandy in the white suit in the General part, garments befitting of a King! Can‘t wait for the tre footy, your Majesty!

Yea logo sucks branding and design is looking sus but footage will be good. Primitive is a corny brand with amazing skaters and videos so that’s what I’ll hope for. More TJ footage with less Strobeck zoom is a win at the end of the day.

Gutted, should've just expanded Hardies. Na Kel got that magic touch though, he's got the eye and creative prowess to knock it out the park. And if people don't like it he'll snap your board and knock you out the park until you're too scared to rep anything else.

I hope they didn't pay anyone for that logo. Looks like it's straight out of Microsoft clipart. Remember when Manny Santiago's board company used a stock image vector gorilla or something?

Maybe i'm wrong but i thought the whole calling each other "king" thing came about as a way for black men to uplift each other? Please school me if i'm wrong, but if that is the case and they really HAD to go with this name it should've been an all black team imo. Glad he's getting put on, but having a VERY soft faced lookin white boy on a brand called "King" seems kinda weird.

This is way too accurate
-
It seems that Vape/CBD/Kratom stores are the only businesses around me that are moving into empty storefronts and starting up at this time. So maybe this logo is some galaxy brain shit to find success in our current economic climate?
-
Since no one else has mentioned it, I just want to say this name choice and logo are extremely bland.
-
name it whatever, brand it however, I only pray the dimensions are similar to what he was skating on FA
-
Aside from the graphic design choices, it feels surprising to go with such a strongly gendered name for a skate brand in 2022, especially being based in NYC.
Hopefully there is a sister company in the works for Queen Skateboards…

In terms of branding and direction, I hope this project exceeds our expectations. I'm not so certain though. The logo on the website is like, a blown up jpg. It looks like the logo was a stroke/outline graphic in AI, pasted into PSD as pixels, scaled up using the cursor tool, then filled in with the paint can. Should have exported as SVG my dood.

I don't know about that. Numbers had zero identity and direction and no idea behind it. There was no reason for that brand to exist in the first place.
This at least seems to have some sort of an idea behind it, and time will tell if they can actually follow through with it. Obviously the default ass name and logo aren't a good start though

Jokes aside I can't pretend I know much, 'king' isn't used here (actually it is, by Bahia bros, "ô meu rei" but it's not the same thing), so I thought it was just positive masculinity but in a very general way like 'chad memes'

Word. Although I would argue theres more merit in supporting a shop than a top pro on Adidas with a shoe. I'm not against supporting him but in my case, it would have to be also something I like aesthetically.

something that might bug me more than the logo and brand name is that zach's last name is "saraceno" and not "sacareno". how much better does ZACH SACARENO roll off the tongue. all i'm saying is tyshawn better force a tx/desarmo style name change.

Honestly, should have just called it Skates So Good and used the same logo as his restaurant and called it a day.
something that might bug me more than the logo and brand name is that zach's last name is "saraceno" and not "sacareno". how much better does ZACH SACARENO roll off the tongue. all i'm saying is tyshawn better force a tx/desarmo style name change.
Saraceneaux

Graphic looks like a thank you or blind or Walmart graphic. Name is wack like free dome bad. Numbers iphone background graphic may be better. Also is there a direction with this company? I mean dudes on slap assigning a direction but has TJ himself said anything to go along with the direction of a pro black company and stuff that slap is claiming? If tj said it cool but if he didn’t your just creating a narrative that isn’t there

No statement from Tyshawn, but come on man, that's a fairly safe assumption to make if you know much about him. The whole black power ethos/fist is like hardies whole identity. That combined with his restaurant and how its run, plus other shit he's said in interviews makes it pretty clear that black activism is on the top of his priority list. He's kinda killing it on that front tbh, really no reason to think "king" isnt a direct nod to those values.

Yea logo sucks branding and design is looking sus but footage will be good. Primitive is a corny brand with amazing skaters and videos so that’s what I’ll hope for. More TJ footage with less Strobeck zoom is a win at the end of the day.
Yeah this was my first thought as well. Bottom line, we already know that top skater =/= top design. Was anyone even expecting to be blown away by the art direction?

I hoped there will be some graphics based on royals like Henry VIII, Louis XIV, or Charles the great

Came here to roast the shit out of the logo just to find you guys are hours ahead and 4 pages deep, so bummed lol.
Anyways the name and logo reminds me of an off-brand condom company. Like the type of shit you use on a chick from Philadelphia. Should’ve just made Hardies a board company to channel ‘peak Muska’ vibes, but with better money management.
Honestly the name isn’t terrible, as skate branding is literally just random nouns. But they gotta rework that logo and link up with a better artist. Can’t be the same person that did Hardies.
Edit: Also a black empowerment board company would at least make for an interesting art direction. Better than Dill’s Tarantino-esque infatuation of black culture with his FA graphics, or Alex Olson pretending to be gay for a couple years.

name it whatever, brand it however, I only pray the dimensions are similar to what he was skating on FA
Agreed. Dont think anyone has mentioned how the board looks very similair to FA shape. Steep kicks and phat nose as they say.
*Edit by 'they' I mean people who describe FA boards as having "steep kicks and phat nose"
So you guys just want a product that is already available but with shittier graphics printed on them?
Speaking for myself, but to support TJ, yea thats the point. This is like asking why support your local.
If my local carried King skateboards and I knew it was a familiar shape id choose that over FA. I would not order one from a website tho. at this point I would prefer the crown over a class photo of Beatrice.

A) This is just one logo. Who the hell knows what else they have planned? Calling it a "dumpster fire" after seeing a single screenshot of an Instagram post is ridiculous.
B) You might have noticed that a lot of the highly paid, top-level pros have started their own board brands, and I don't think this is because they all dream of being the next Dill or PRod and controlling a huge swatch of the industry. Owning a company which loses money or barely breaks even is a time tested way for wealthy people to shelter their income from taxes. Tyshawn is involved with a restaurant and house flipping (another amazing tax scam), and this could very easily be just that. I don't mean to imply this in a nefarious way, it's just what a lot of high earners do.

The only way I could see King skateboards being a good brand is if, Basquiat was still alive and willing to make skateboard graphics.
As said before, this is gonna be a Numbers 2.0. Hoping the boards with the crown are just samples but I have a feeling they aren’t.
Look at Primitive. Not my favorite graphics but I think
it was a smart play to make them all gold. Caught a lot peoples eye. Plus, I think they had the clothing thing going. Would have been smart to just expand the Hardies brand as I think someone else said.
Hope it works out as I like Tyshawn and Zach’s skating.

True, I didn't really even think that, cynically preferring everything to be an elaborate tax shelter. A few years ago, a shop owner told me that the only people making real money from decks sales were Nora and Andy Anderson. The days of $10,000/m checks are decades gone and they are never coming back. Most pros aren't this lucky, but if you've got a large, engaged fanbase on social media, you can probably make more money selling direct than you can being engaged with a brand.

say what you will about the name but let's remember, Tyshawn and Nak are coming from a brand named "Fucking Awesome" so in all fairness, "King" is a pretty solid step up from that imo
logo needs work tho lol

No. In a recent interview he said he wanted his video to have been released back in June/July but Thrasher made him wait to put it out. He also said he doesn’t care about being SOTY and they should give it to someone who just did one trick that stands out over people who release multiple parts just to flood the footage…

It's not my place to judge the name choice, but there's definitely a whole lot more thought and meaning behind it than some people might think.
Doesn't literally every tictok and whatever else kid these days call one another "king" literally constantly? It's a trendy word, even if it's possible to give it meaning too.
Would have been MUCH MORE interesting if he named his company Queen.

In terms of branding and direction, I hope this project exceeds our expectations. I'm not so certain though. The logo on the website is like, a blown up jpg. It looks like the logo was a stroke/outline graphic in AI, pasted into PSD as pixels, scaled up using the cursor tool, then filled in with the paint can. Should have exported as SVG my dood.
It looks like someone's high school project where they made up a skate company for a class learning to use the adobe creative suite.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin' knew it man fuck
As an addendum: I feel like logo design is less important than concept, and the concept behind this name is quite honestly so boring.
Surprise us Tyshawn!
I bet if you asked 10,000 skaters what they thought Tyshawn would name his company, 9,437 of them would be like, "Ah man he should name it 'King' that would be so rad."
What a snooze-fest.

No idea, I'm not on social media. Would definitely not be the first nor the last time that a term which carries a specific meaning in the black community, or any minority community for that matter, gets appropriated.

100% agree, that would have been awesome.
I'm not saying King a good or even a well thought-out name, just that there is an obvious connotation to it.
The validity of the origin story of that term is something else entirely, and afaik it's very much debated in black communities if the term should be used in that context at all, as @tyroneshoelace 's post indicates.
I'm not black and by no means an expert in the matter, just a linguist. I'm not here to discuss the merits of the term, just wanted to make people who didn't know about it aware of it.

I know Tyshawn is form New York, so I thought oh maybe he called it King because he was born in Queens on some King of Queens shit. I googled his name and saw on Wikipedia he isn't born in Queens, but in the first paragraph I saw this
"Jones was a fan of Lizard King in his early days and part of a photo op featuring Lizard King followed by "thousands" of other skaters"
No matter what he says, I am just going to pretend this brand is named after his love to for Lizard King. Also, if you go to the King website the logo is all blown up and pixelated. I can't wait to see what amazing innovations this premium brand of elite athletes brings to the game.

Lee Perry did not create dub, it was "created" when a sound system operator named Ruddy Redwood went to Treasure Isle to have some acetates cut for his sound and the engineer accidentally left the vocals off one. He played the vocal-less one at a dance later that night and the crowd went wild, after that he started asking for more acetates without out the vocals, thus the birth of the version. You would also be remiss to not mention Prince(King)Jammy, Prine Philip Smart, Errol Thompson and Sylvan Morris as super skilled dub engineers.

You would also be remiss to not mention Prince(King)Jammy, Prine Philip Smart, Errol Thompson and Sylvan Morris as super skilled dub engineers.

King Tubby is the shit, love me some dub. Dude basically created the foundation of edm with reggae in the 60s
Well umm, Lee Perry created dub. But yeah King Tubby and Scientist are incredible masters of the craft.

Love Dub. Thanks to older bandmates, I was introduced to it at a relatively young age. It's one of the most psychedelic genres out there. I really like the legends mentioned, but no one's mentioned my personal favorite, SCIENTIST. His "Rids the World of the Curse of the Vampires" is so good, not to mention several other albums. There's great UK Dub stuff too like Linton Kwesi Johnson, Mikey Dread, Mad Professor/Ranking Ann, and last but not least, Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell; he gets extra points for producing the Saâda Bonaire stuff and Post-Punk classics like The Pop Group's "Y" and The Slits' "Cut". There's also the On-U Sound label, which went all sorts of different ways with Dub.

Thats highly debatable
determining the "first dub LP" is a bit of a red herring though because people had been releasing "dub" on 45 for 5 years or so by then
it evolved from just instrumental versions of vocal tracks to DJs toasting on top to little sprinkles of sound effects to full-blown echo/delay-laden mixing console studio productions
-
Could honestly split hairs/dork out endlessly but yeah versions were happening for 6 years prior to the release of the first dub lps(which were a response/way to further cash in on dub's popularity and also helped to expand reggae's audience even further).

Hyped to see the footage of that massive 360 flip.
Have to agree with all the people being (mildly) underwhelmed by the design decision so far, that being said, im not a fan of the aesthetics I associate with his other companies as well (i.e., hardies). Not my cup of tea, but I guess kids will love it.
Just checked out the recent product of hardies, and some stuff is decent, but not standing out

I don't think it has anything to do with how fragile or not his ego is. He has a new company that he has invested money in.

As someone who works in PR, I can say that blocking people who criticize you is a terrible business move. It makes the brand look fragile and unstable. The fact that this was his personal account (I assume?) means there is a bit more leeway, but never has a company benefited from blocking people who criticize them on social media. All it does is feed the trolls and amplifies what those now-blocked users were shouting about.
I'm not saying this as a judgement against anyone, just what I've seen in the industry and the messes I've had to clean up for companies. I don't have any real feelings toward TJ outside of recognizing he's one of the best technical skaters around right now.

I imagine most modern marketing experts would agree that in 2022 the best logo is the logo that everyone is talking about. This page is like 8 pages long and 24 hours.
Suprising people aren't making the obvious connection between this King logo and the branding used by other professional athletes like Tiger Woods, Labron James, etc. The concept of it being Adidas compatible is also probably on point.
As someone else has mentioned, F.A. was a 'stupid brand' with a 'stupid name' and 'stupid logo' that went straight to the top within a year or two,
There are different kinds of "stupid". FA is very self aware, tongue in cheek stupid. The whole thing is kinda supposed to be stupid.
King is not joking around with the name or logo, it's not ironic or self aware.

Probably because he has homies on hardies that have other board sponsors. So if hardies becomes a board brand it's a bad look for those friends to continue to rep it.

What is funny about all this is back in the day we couldn’t care less about the graphic on a board, it was all all about the shape and the concave, it all gets scratched off in the end, and, you would wear sick graphic gear from whatever you liked, but I guess that all went out the door with the advent of popsicle popularity and team congruity.
I never once heard a discussion on how lame the Santa Cruz logo is, which it is, or how sick the H-Street logo was, which it was.

Nak deleted his or archived it.
They has been talks of them leaving since around 2017-18. The original plan was for the FA x Adidas event to be their big farewell to FA, but Nak jumped the gun, and broke it off earlier, and said some things that soured the relationship with FA. Originally FA was meant to take care of the production and distribution of King, but Nak severed that relationship.
Heard they couldn't get the trademark for King Skateboarders either, so they had to get it as 'K1ng Crown', with the LLC being 'Kings Skateboard' lol.

With Nickel’s Lotties beef, I’m guessing a lot of shops are going to be skeptical about starting business with these guys. They’re probably going to have to rely on web sales for a bit, which won’t be easy with that bullshit aesthetic. Especially now with demand down and the market flooded.
I missed that thread, can someone please explain exactly what went down, please?

Main points as quick as possible
*Lottie opened a shop, Nak saw him as an outsider criddling in his area
*One of naks friends was told not to smoke in the shop, another brought in a board to be regripped but it was covered in dogshit and was turned away, angered Nak further
*Some local kids were getting fucked with for wearing Lottie's gear, Lottie warned other kids about certain areas, Nak took max level insult to this talked a bunch of shit on insta about Lottie
*Lottie thought fuck it, it's not worth it and closed the shop

whoa, hope that’s not true. but nakel got his dipshit followers to basically fade on sight anyone wearing lottie’s shit, which actually happened a handful of times. it ended with the kids who worked there showing up for their shift to a bunch of people waiting outside of the store to jump them and brian pulled the plug on it. it was literally for no reason.

i don’t want to spread a rumor that may or may not be true. i just remember in the original thread there was a guy who said he either worked at lottie’s or was a friend of the owner/major local who told the whole story about the grip tape/blunt incidents & i feel like i either remember him or someone else saying something about a kid being shot in a drive by for being affiliated with lotties & or wearing the gear. again, i don’t want to spread false information but, i definitely feel like i remember reading that somewhere within the long winded thread/controversy.

Hardies into a board brand would have been best. Boardies is a fun name, but I don’t think Tyshawn or Nak are playing games haha.
Hardies could have evolved into a complete hard goods brand (wheels, bushings, bearings). Still could. Honestly, King boards might have a chance but, the first graphic we are all seeing isn’t it. Maybe some editing genius can hypnotize us with the first edit they release but, damn.
Damn, I feel like HG skateboard would have been better than King. Damn near every comment Tyshawn has on IG
-
I still remember when FA released their first boards with their elementary school pics. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever to not at least do their Hulkamania logo on a board. Years later now, their graphics (I assume) are liked and the school picture deck is sort of cool when a skater turns pro.
And I wasn't really aware of Girl Skateboards when they released their first decks but were people really into that graphic as well? Most first graphics are pretty lame out the gate.
-
The crown as a graphic isn’t bad per se, it’s really the super generic execution of it. The ones you mention have a good concept behind it (FA school photo) or a simple logo executed well (girl). So far what we’ve seen from King has neither.

i’m pretty sure baker is dropping a video before the end of the year…

Are we sure this isn’t just Adidas trying to get into skateboard decks the way Nike secretly is financing everyone of their riders’ starting a board company?
honest question, what is Adidas or Nike’s incentive to do that?

There were rumors that Numbers was a Nike funded board brand and I'm assuming now people are thinking this is an Adidas board brand. I'm pretty sure the Numbers rumors were refuted, but who really knows. I'm honestly tired of these random board brands popping up, but hopefully Tyshawn can make this something other than a tax write off.

“Nike is funding board brands” only insofar as they paid a lot of skaters so much money that they were able to get their own companies off of the ground. The idea that Nike is the slightest bit interested in the manufacture and distribution of skateboard is borderline delusional.

Is it just another way to put more money into Marketing, like if we help fund Numbers marketing, that gets more eyes on our Pros who are wearing our shoes and then we sell more shoes?

Somehow KWhites skating has kind of grown on me. Can’t say he’s my favorite but, I think he’s a good ambassador for skateboarding.
Hope to see a baker video out and wish it had Kader but starting to see the reality that he’s probably leaving. Saw an interview where he said he wants to build something like Reynolds did with Baker, but it was in context with making pants.

His nine club has me thinking the same , with what Kelly was saying about being in like japan and the homie there getting all hyped cause they’re friends. He’s a positive dude, gets along with the entire industry seemingly and is good enough at skating that while on skill alone maybe he wouldn’t be pro but as total package and someone to represent a brand and skateboarding at large is the perfect dude. Respect, especially since I’ve vocally hated on dude here multiple times.

haha. i agree with everyone else that he seems like a good dude, his skateboarding is better than i remember after rewatching his part after the nine club episode. i just don’t see it at all. reynolds seems to only grab younger guys with promised futures at this point, not middle level 30 year olds. then again, shane heyl had a board for a minute… he was also a long running member of the crew though.
did anyone else notice kevin white seeming a bit offended for a moment after chris roberts said he initially thought mid 90s might be bullshit? that had me laughing so hard.

I was joking - there was a time when Numbers and Skate Mental (maybe even 3D) were accused of being shadow Nike projects because people wanted to believe Nike had some weird plan to infiltrate the industry, establish a good relationship for two decades and then fuck everyone over (see: the yearly rumors of Nike cutting its team, when it’s pretty much just been Yoshi Tannenbaum and the Wilson bro on DC now).
I thought it was amusing that Adidas doesn’t get the same amount of stick Nike does, despite it being a megalith in its own right

This is kind of weird but Tyshawn's Adidas pro model felt so good on my feet I assumed just based on what I'd seen of him and his massive pop that he was at least 6'4 or taller with big wide feet. I bought those and the Busenitz together for a steal and the Boozentits pro model felt narrow and odd to me. I'm sure it doesn't even mean shit and shoe-to-shoe mass production varies but I looked up each of their height and shoe sizes... lo and behold Busenitz is fucking 6'10 with an unknown shoe size, I'm assuming at least a 12 (what I wear) and Tyshawn is 6 feet even with 8 1/2 shoe size based on a modelling portfolio PDF from his management I found online. Of course, someone's pro model isn't customized to their feet and is more made for wide audience mass consumption but I'm sure these days you can get things closer to what you want exactly vs settling for designs someone else already came up with. I don't even know where I'm going with this but just thinking about different body morphologies and how they could affect someones skateboarding.

I'm gonna guess typo and busenitz is 5'10 or there's some basketball player with the same name or something. I think the tallest pro is Ron Whaley who's 6'7 donta hill may of been the same height but not pro then also Sean Payne. Jake Nunn was 6'5 and I think ba and Stacy Lowery are 6'4.(I'm not just some weirdo who knows everyone's heights, I'm 6'6 so payed attention when there were other skaters who were "too tall")
Not knocking 6'1 mate. It's probably about the ideal height to be in the modern world.
-
Yeah, there's no fucking way that is right but I saw it in a few different places though. Just read a french interview https://www.aproposskatemag.com/5-questions-dennis-busenitz/ where they say google says you're 2.08 M tall (6'8 actually) and he says not to believe the internet. Also just looking at him next to average-height pros and he's probably not even 6 feet tall. Clowning myself again with some wasted stream-of-consciousness shitspam. Lol I was actually about to delete my post like I often do but you had already quoted it

Yeah just joking about his name. Yes I think it was he was unhappy with how cons didn't even make an insta post about his part coming out. Possibly during the time where POC were being open with how they were mistreated by the industry (was that what happened with Hakeem leaving choc?)

No way. Adidas is the second largest shoe maker after Nike. They still do half of Nike's sales, but their growth has been exponential. I only know this stuff because one of my best friends works in the athletic shoe business, but Nike is rightly concerned that Adidas could overtake them in a decade or so.

No he didn't. It was about weed in Japan or somewhere and one dude felt like the other kept too much of the bag they all contributed to. Gershon said something to the Boss and for a few days in a row, drunk Boss would heckle Gershon about it. "oh my weed, think of the weed" or something like that. Gershon resorted to violence because his poetry didn't have any effect on Reynolds. They've both talked about it in interviews.

Amazing shoes, great flick, pretty light. The only negative thing I can think of is that they kind of lose their grip pretty fast. When the pattern on the sole started to fade I was slipping around on the grip. But that was in wet winter times...

Gershon said something to the Boss and for a few days in a row, drunk Boss would heckle Gershon about it. "oh my weed, think of the weed" or something like that. Gershon resorted to violence because his poetry didn't have any effect on Reynolds. They've both talked about it in interviews.
Being a black man, and hearing those sort of stories always stick in my head. Reynolds’s wasn’t being racist, he was just a drunk asshole

I always find it so fucking weird that of all brands for Gonz to be tied closely to (that he doesn't own) Supreme seems to be the biggest. I can't imagine many people older than 25 wearing the clothes except for dudes that wait in line to buy shoes, and he's like double that old?
Is supreme bigger than Adidas? If so they should of picked one of the couple nations not using Adidas, Nike, puma for their kit sponzo in the WC. They'd sell a ton of Ecuador and Iran jerseys of they had a box logo on them
Obviously not and Gonz releases collabs for Adidas, but he's mostly clad in Supreme logos/clothes. Do his shoes sell particularly well? By biggest I didn't mean gross annual sales I meant popularity among young people. Lots of people wear Adidas but aren't paying a price premium or seeking out specific "drops" or "pieces". Clearly there will be no way to make my point with you, but I see more people rocking a Supreme top or pants than Adidas. It seems like a silly brand for a person of his age to be fitted in (aside from the shoes), whereas Adidas isn't.
I'm lacking in brainpower and communication today, but essentially Adidas has been mainstream for decades whereas people still seem entranced by whatever shit Supreme drops. I do see wayyyyy more Adidas collab shoes and gear on sale and close out and people still pay near or over retail for a Supreme logo shirt second hand on Depop. Maybe "bigger hyped brand" is better?

If you don’t think people are paying a premium for specific adidas drops your nutz or poorly informed.
-
I know they are, but the second hand market and exclusivity doesn't seem to be as big as it is (clothing wise, NOT shoes) for Supreme and I don't see his Adidas collabs resold for insane prices.
-
Adidas is the biggest brand in soccer, the biggest sport In the world, streetwear is a drop in the bucket for them
-
Adidas is the second largest sportswear company in the world, behind Nike. Attempting to compare Supreme to Adidas, on any level, is laughable.
-
Attempting to compare a big established brand to hypebeast clothing early 20-somethings wear is my point. He's head to toe in a brand that people half his age wear despite having a contract with a much bigger brand. I find it surprising he chose to rep Supreme so hard.
-
maybe he likes the clothes? why do you care so much. also maybe because he’s literally a part of the brand, not just normal sponsored.

It's symbiotic. They both look to each other for legitimacy.

Not that big of a football (what it means in the rest of the world) fan, but you literally had to watch two of the most unsignificant teams in the world. If you want to see it displayed at its finest, watch it when the big nations of South America and Europe go against each other.
And Basketball and american football is not that big outside of the US. I haven't seen any ultras support that genre of sports.

Boring or not soccer/football is the most popular sport on the planet and it's not even close. Basketball is sort of too far the other way where to me it's also boring. Huge guys on a pathetically small field running back and forth scoring every 6 seconds. Score so much it becomes meaningless. Some kind of adults 7-9 a side soccer on a 3/4 size field with much shorter game could be interesting but they'll never change how soccer works.

not sure what value i'm adding to the world by writing an ill-thought out mini-essay on the differences in the european and north american psyche and their manifestations in sport, but here goes:
by necessity i'm painting in ludicrously broad brush strokes here, by i think each camp has a fundamentally different answer to the question of how you make something exciting.
the north american answer is that you design for excitement. disney land is magical by excruciatingly detailed design. likewise, the nfl is exciting because the rules say it has to be. one team being in possession without doing much with it is boring, so it isn't allowed. if you don't advance down the field at a speed of at least 10 yards per 4 plays, we will take the ball off you. if you don't hit your excitement quota, you get sacked, essentially.
even within that, the mechanism of making the distance required to stay in possession is designed to be exciting. the rules make it overwhelmingly likely a play is only ever likely to last around 2-10 seconds. then the teams reset and look to the playbook for a pre-correographed, explosive action to perform.
compare that to soccer. with the exception of a really well taken free kick, set pieces are considered the least exciting/beautiful/memorable way to score. look up any 'goals of the season/tournament' compilation. you're not going to see many/any corners or penalties even though they account for a lot of goals - which is because set pieces are considered a bit meh, a bit passe, somehow.
i think distaste for set pieces comes from something in the european psyche that assumes you can't manufacture excitement. a set piece is pre-planned, an imposed order. the whole point of excitement is that it's unplanned, or that it goes contrary to the plan.
basically, americans find soccer boring because there is nothing hardwired into the game to guarantee a spectacle. it can (and does) just drift along in a state of stalemate for long periods.
europeans find the nfl boring for the exact opposite reason. the very rules of the game are trying to guarantee excitement, but nothing guaranteed can be truly exciting.
of course, this may be down more to the history of the sports than any difference is psyche. the rules of soccer formed as the result of slowly codifying something people had been doing for hundreds and hundreds of years. so the idea that the thing was already engaging and exciting wasn't a consideration in the rules. it was more a case of making something already considered exciting into something that was also fair, safe and administered consistently.
i don't know about the history of the nfl, but i guess the sport either went from conception to codification a lot quicker, or was actively designed from the ground up. obviously, if you're *creating* a sport rather than just *codifying* a pre-existing one, you're way more likely to consider the rules as a tool for ensuring it doesn't end up being really boring.
thanks for coming to my simplistic, stereotype-riddled ted talk.
-
Soccer is the most popular sport because it has the least barriers to entry - you really only need a ball and physical stature is not a huge factor as like with football/basketball. And for Gonz, it is possible that sup pays more than adidas - so bright red puffer jackets it is

alright fellas i know yall are passsionate about soccer and i honestly wish i cared as much about anything the way some dudes rep their teams (clubs?) but take it to the non-american football thread fellas.
back to business
is the brand's logo a ripoff of the Basquiat crown or did they license it or am i just deepfried? Tyshawn is undeniably really good skateboarding and has been since he was 4ft tall skating 12th and A... but he needs to leave all the creative shit to his team of yesmen.
Hardies boards would be cool... but it was definitely set up like Bronze where its just a half serious company so that all the homies on competing shoe/board brands could share a sponse, kick it together and go on trips type business model.. which was taken from Diamond.

Hahaha- you ever watched Qatar vs Ecuador Football or Basketball Match?
Don’t care about soccer- but globally it’s definitely the largest in terms of turnover and popularity. There is no football „World Cup“ in the US Football is by far the biggest league - but there is no other football league comparable globally. Same for baseball and Basketball - huge league with gigantic turnover in US - but in any other country Soccer is the biggest league and in total they are bigger then the US football / baseball market.
My favorite team Sport to watch anyway is the very small and commercial not comparable Rugby.

I always find it so fucking weird that of all brands for Gonz to be tied closely to (that he doesn't own) Supreme seems to be the biggest. I can't imagine many people older than 25 wearing the clothes except for dudes that wait in line to buy shoes, and he's like double that old?
Full agree. It really annoys me how they basically exploit his legendary status by throwing his name amongst a roster of skaters 1/3 his age, then only having a couple goofy clips in their videos. I'm sure it's a nice paycheck, but I have a feeling Gonz doesn't really need it, what with his art career, Krooked, Adidas, etc.
Then, on the opposite spectrum, they toss Beatrice in amongst heavy hitters... like we won't notice.

calling Mark's affiliation with the brand "exploitation" is pretty ridiculous
he's been involved with the brand for 20+ years, has installations at 7 of their locations, has contributed art to more releases than could be counted, and consistently wears their clothes more than any of his other sponsors.

Gonz definitely strikes as spacey enough to not figure out taxes . But what really gets me is that man has a wife and kid. I wonder what he’s like as a father. He just seems so incapable of that responsibility.

I had a realization the other day that there's a version of Mark that old heads that love him like to ignore. Obviously his fits are the best from Blind to early Krooked but when Mark rode for Vision Street Wear he was Mister Fucking Vision Street Wear. From that era there are a few classic fits like the tree wallie fit or even what he's wearing when he does the 50-50 down the rail in NYC but most of them are pretty terrible and look like whatever's in the box, Vision's contrived radical style and then Gonz's general weirdness all thrown together. A great example of this gone wrong is on the pump on the chrome sculpture in NYC in the all over VSW button up which, now that I'm typing this, I realize is probably the same fit as the 50-50, just without the button up. I've come to love that era when Mark was 100% owned by Vision, particularly how bridles against it with the impromptu fashion shoot with Natas or the grip tape art and bizarro sticker jobs, and so I've come to accept that Mark is gonna be down to be Mr Supreme or Adidas and that's cool and totally tracks with stuff he's done in the past.

anyone see they got a new logo?
(https://i.imgur.com/xQOHEe4.png)
still looks like shit, now in a completely different way!
Looks like the KISS logo
A local shop is called King's and uses the kiss logo. Looks better than anything TJ and Nak have come up with

Has anyone brought up the fact that Tyshawn comes off as a douche bag in his new Thrasher interview? I was shocked and bummed on that. Then the first thing I see this morning on Thrasher stories is him re-doing the picnic table ollie. He's lurking on here for sure.

No, it’s kinda frowned upon to mention that, but cool to rehash a decade old Koston IG comment or wry AO interview with Jenkem or when MJ once talked about bringing new ideas to adidas or whatever the fuck he said
Just remember: the guy who thinks it’s lame when people make a big effort to go for SOTY has a King part and a Supreme part still to come this year.

does he really not know anyone uptown that actually writes? what the fuck are these logos/fonts.
should have just named that shit Blade and ran nothing but Martha Cooper photos of trains that said BLADE on em real big shot from a roof on 125th street. fuck do i know though.

I always find it so fucking weird that of all brands for Gonz to be tied closely to (that he doesn't own) Supreme seems to be the biggest. I can't imagine many people older than 25 wearing the clothes except for dudes that wait in line to buy shoes, and he's like double that old?
Full agree. It really annoys me how they basically exploit his legendary status by throwing his name amongst a roster of skaters 1/3 his age, then only having a couple goofy clips in their videos. I'm sure it's a nice paycheck, but I have a feeling Gonz doesn't really need it, what with his art career, Krooked, Adidas, etc.
Then, on the opposite spectrum, they toss Beatrice in amongst heavy hitters... like we won't notice.
I hear so many things about marks finances, from he's a multi millionaire to he lost everything to the IRS and had to borrow cash from friends. No idea what is true. I usually don't pocket watch but the financial status of aging pros is more interesting than the financial status of some 20-something.
Jason Lee's talked before about getting fucked by not paying taxes. Wouldn't be surprised if gonz got the same treatment. It probably only really matters for those pros who got famous/went on to make much bigger amounts of money
nowadays it seems so stupid for pros not to have a tax consultant
-
Or you know like an accountant would do.
-
My buddies dad used to run a jewelry/collectibles pawn shop place in sf. He said Gonz would come in looking for coins and would regularly fleece himself by purchasing a coin over asking price just because he liked how it "felt in his hand". He said also that when it was time to pay, Gonz would just hand over a wad of cash and ask my buddies dad to count it out.

I was a little surprised by the hypocrisy of some of those comments in the interview. I like Tyshawn but it seemed like a questionable stance on SOTY considering his current circumstances…

Seems like nobody can make up their minds about anyone , “he’s cocky, he’s too humble, he’s too quiet”. Do we want everyone to be completely neutral and plain?
Anyone shows any sign of self confidence and people like yeah they’re an asshole.
-
every good person is either rad or chill you dont know that?
people from white middle class homes think anyone who isnt rad and chill and a humble dude is an asshole.
people that risked a lot in life and that have no safeness dont act rad and chill and humble.
they dont buy brown medium fitting chino pants and listen to their dads. some cant even if they would want to.

It was more of his attitude like (again I don't have the mag in front of me) I skateboard. Its what I do but Its not who I am. But its my outlet. I don't watch skate videos. I don't care about SOTY. I don't skate with real skaters or my peers just regular people who don't skate that skate. I don't look up to pro because they my equals but I love Lizard King. Weird interview. There was no confidence in that interview.

I don't know what authority you claim here, but your comment reads like you're stating facts.
I know plenty of people who have risked and been through more than most people will ever imagine and they're also quite humble.
Just because someone overcomes hardship doesn't give them carte blanche to be haughty.
Sometimes people think someone is an asshole simply because they're actually an asshole.

TJ has self confident vibes but
theres a difference between self confident and being a cocky asshole
Id rather hang out with him than guys like that from One In A Million Ruben Barack ass motherfuckers which i imagine lots of people are. fake dickriding humbleness, needing hugs after tricks and everything is rad and the legends in the game need so much honor and being humble is so rad dude.

Weird flex that you hate your (or any other) race. But good recovery that you’re not a beach going musician “idiot”. I was starting to think you might be unlikable.

What Tyshawn said about SOTY fights is super valid, no matter if he says he is going for it or not.
I don't really keep up with what's going on in videos because it's just so much now. It just drops so frequently that it's different. It's not like when I was a kid.
[...]
It could be my friend doing an ollie down a six stair on Instagram. That'll get me more hyped than a random dude doing a 50-50 on a 40-kink rail.
Cute and relatable.
I just look at skateboarding in a different way than the general skater
[...]
I'm multifaceted. I do a bunch of different things--I own businesses; I skateboard; I model; I do it all. I might fucking be in a movie one day.
Cringe.

when was i flexing. its just something i do. i do think white people suck sometimes and have weird gimmicks that they dont even see like dressing as lumberjacks to look like real men. you made fun of me and i explained that:
kids from broken homes that become successfull early and dont have a father figure need some other type of believe in them selfs because they have to. middle class people will call them cocky disregarding their own nepotism and privilege of not having to stand up for themselves because they already have safeness around and a plan of life that worked out.
its not the only way you can turn out to in this situation. it just makes sense here and you either sympathize with people not being chill humble dudes all the time or you dont.
for me theres nothing i hate more than fake copy and paste humbleness

I can’t even keep up with all your generalizations. Broken homes hardly have the market cornered on creating cockiness though. And there is a difference between that and belief in yourself.
Even if being cocky or an asshole were products of your upbringing, explained by the root of it doesn’t make it good.

Dashawn and toy was a weird fit to me. It’s just that Toy is a brand anyone would want to ride for and Dashawn is a skater anyone would want on their team. Now Hoban sort Fills that spot as a contest skater whose joy division shirt came from a vintage store instead of target

First graphic is just TJ googling "richest person of all time" and finding a non-protected image to slap on a board. There isn't much more symbolism to Mansa Musa. Dude had 500 slaves with him on his pilgrimage to Mecca, but TJ probably didn't actually read much about him just wanted to remind everyone that his whole goal is material wealth.

No one really seems to want Dashawn on their team for whatever reason. He was stuck with some Berries brands or whatever for a bit then slumming it on MJs brand before finally getting a legit sponsor with Toy Machine, which likely was due to Sinclair’s help for a Nike rider

You are ignoring context, a lot like all the people here who've been hinting at or flat out equating the characteristics of slavery within the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the new world and slavery in 14th century Africa (before anyone flips out, it is absolutely my opinion that neither are good, but they were different and Mansa Musa on a skateboard is not the same as the confederate flag on a skateboard). Gonz and Natas had major influence on the definition of what skateboarding was and the shape it eventually took. TJ is definitely influential and has taken flip tricks to new heights/distances. He's cemented himself while being unapologetically himself and blazed a trail for lots of others. However, he isn't reinventing the entire game, and he wouldn't have certain boundaries to push if early street skaters didn't create them.
Nak is not even part of this discussion.

You are ignoring context, a lot like all the people here who've been hinting at or flat out equating the characteristics of slavery within the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the new world and slavery in 14th century Africa (before anyone flips out, it is absolutely my opinion that neither are good, but they were different and Mansa Musa on a skateboard is not the same as the confederate flag on a skateboard). Gonz and Natas had major influence on the definition of what skateboarding was and the shape it eventually took. TJ is definitely influential and has taken flip tricks to new heights/distances. He's cemented himself while being unapologetically himself and blazed a trail for lots of others. However, he isn't reinventing the entire game, and he wouldn't have certain boundaries to push if early street skaters didn't create them.
Nak is not even part of this discussion.
blah blah blah it’s not that deep. If tyshawn looked that far into it he wouldn’t have used it. Keep reaching, we’re about to grab each others hands

@modern life is war I said they were different in my post, and I went out of my way to make it clear that i think slavery is never good, but here is this for you to read and decide for yourself.
In contrast to the chattel slavery that later developed in the New World, an enslaved person in West and Central Africa lived within a more flexible kinship group system. Anyone considered a slave in this region before the trans-Atlantic trade had a greater chance of becoming free within a lifetime; legal rights were generally not defined by racial categories; and an enslaved person was not always permanently separated from biological family networks or familiar home landscapes...
...Ultimately, the practice of slavery as an oppressive and exploitative labor system was prevalent in both Western Africa and the Americas long before the influence of Europeans. Still, the factors that defined the social, political, and economic purposes and scale of slavery significantly changed, expanded, and intensified with the rise of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and American plantation agriculture launched by European expansion. For these reasons, African and American Indian slavery before the trans-Atlantic trade differed significantly from the chattel slavery systems that would later develop in the Atlantic World.

your original post was vague as fuck but carried the implication that african slavery was 'not as bad' or 'better', i asked you to clarify and you still don't even have the balls to say what you think. good job getting a degree and separating yourself from the unwashed masses you kook

What do you all think?
damn you'd think TJ and nak were natas and gonz with how influential they seem to think they are
they’re more influential than gonz was at 23 so i mean
This is a bad take. Video Days came out when Gonz was roughly 23/24. Natas had also already started 101 by that time too.
If you aren't deflecting, then please actually tell us what you mean when you say "more influential."
The only ground I see that standing on is the fact that TJ has influenced more kids and the way they dress because they can pick up a cell phone and see his skating and how sick it is. That's a far cry from having a greater influence on skateboarding than Gonz, Natas, and other early street dudes did.
Edit: @modern life is war dude I said it twice now, plain as day. You're trying to bait me into sounding like I'm apologizing for one form of slavery when all I'm trying to do is point out that it's unfair to get online and say a black man in 2022 supports slavery because he put a prominent black figure from the 1300's on a skateboard. It's especially fucked to do so because most of us have American slavery called to mind when we hear a statement like that, a form of slavery which specifically deemed black people as racially inferior.

im talking about gonz not natas which makes no difference because I still stand by what I said. And what I meant was from how big of an audience he has reached. Also like I said in the other thread, I’m drunk don’t mind me.

Gonz and natas were more influential bc they basically invented modern street skating. It would take a lot to out do that

First graphic is just TJ googling "richest person of all time" and finding a non-protected image to slap on a board. There isn't much more symbolism to Mansa Musa. Dude had 500 slaves with him on his pilgrimage to Mecca, but TJ probably didn't actually read much about him just wanted to remind everyone that his whole goal is material wealth.
what an absurd thing to assume about a complete stranger
Some of you wake up overthinking looking to be "offended" by
Lets judge someone for using the historical image of a historical figure from 700 years ago who doesn't to live up to the moral standards of today. How do you think people got rich throughout history up until 150 years ago, by giving out socks to the guy at Hertz? War and conquest have always been a part of history, up until today where you can get rich off doritos collaborations and finger popping your bootyhole on onlyfans instead.

Bravo, but to be honest if one thing gave @LebowskisRug 's comment* some merit is how people don't seem to give as much of a fuck to arguments like yours when it comes to white figures of the past. See statues being torn down etc.
I know barely anything about this stuff I'm just trying to sound intelligent.

Nakel intentionally caused harm to Lottie’s Skateshop. One of their employees was special needs who got assaulted and forced to take a Lottie’s sweatshirt off while he was out walking by himself because Nakel told them to. How does this sit well with anyone? How does he even have a single sponsorship? Go on YouTube and type in “nakel Lottie’s” and you will see a video of Nakel telling people to “rip Lottie’s clothing off people’s backs”. How is this ok? Someone explain to me how you could still support this person?
I spent a lot of time at Lottie’s and loved that shop and all they did. They never deserved their outcome, yet adidas still sponsors nakel, so does Thunder and others. Wtf?
I spoke directly to Mike who owned Lottie’s and I tried to get him to publicly speak on this but he won’t. I respect that. He did offer to talk to nakel or fight the guy, and of course nakel wouldn’t do either. He just sent his half a million Instagram followers against them.

What was Nakels reason to do such a thing towards Lotties?

Nakels friend came into Lottie’s and told them to regrip his board that had dog shit all over it, all while he was rolling a blunt. There were other customers in the store, mike told the kid no, and also asked him to take the weed outside. The kid was offended, then went and told Nakel that Lottie’s disrespected him. That started the problems, but not long after that, a kid who hung out at Lottie’s got beat up at the local skatepark really badly. Lottie’s then made a Instagram story just saying “hey locals, be careful at Rancho skatepark, kids have been getting robbed there” and since that skatepark is where Nakel grew up skating, he decided to take offense. None of it was rational at all. That’s when Nak when to Instagram and told his 500k followers to fuck up anyone wearing Lottie’s. In one of his god awful rap songs, he even brags about what he did, saying “yeah I shut your shop down”. Biggest asshole in skating and should never have a platform again.

Graphic is more inspired than I was expecting given the logo.
Tyshawn is cool. I liked his explanation on doing tricks at iconic spots instead of just filming. Nak is still lame but fuck it tj loyal to his homies . I think they’ll be fine as a brand.

Yeah this is what I’m hoping for. Nakel got a special needs person assaulted and terrified. He caused a core shop to close their doors, and caused other young kids to get hurt. Is that not enough for someone to get booted from their sponsors?

Funny to me that these two financial models briefly intersected in an idabble video (before it was removed) where Maxham asks Alfred to explain the IC debacle to his viewing public.

@Eastsidelunatic Okay, so explain why he isn’t persona non grata for single handedly shutting a skate shop down? How come other pros haven’t called him out on it? How come this wasn’t the rebuttal to all the times he was being vocal about some of the racism he experienced in the industry? More popular people have been kooked out of sponsors for less.
Also calling me a Nak fanboy is a weak deflection. You can just look at my post history and see how little I talk about him. Just the story that you shared has been consistent with similar stories from people with low post counts, and the story seems to only circulate on Slap and nowhere else so it comes off as cap.

“Comes off as cap” lol you are definitely a nakel fan. I think the reason you don’t hear more of this outside of slap is that no one wants to be on Nakels radar. He is clearly mentally deranged and anyone who ends up in his cross hairs gets called racist, so people get scared.
-
I mean Nak is basically Who Kid 2022 at this point. In that For Days video, he was dick riding TJ pretty hard for someone who is supposed to be a peer. Pretty sure Nak is radioactive as he was quietly cut from Supreme and when TJ said he was quitting FA, Nak asked 'Where are WE going?" Finally, the crossed out FA tat -- if every high profile business relationship you've ever had (IC, FA, etc.) ends in a beef, maybe you're the problem.

Cool, your version of the story is 100% true and unbiased. You’re saying that people in the industry are scared to call out Nakel (a mid tier pro who hasn’t put out stuff in years) because of a fear that he would…call them racist? But I’m a fanboy for thinking that sounds fucking stupid.

How about this. Ask anyone who was remotely close to the shop or incident if what I’m saying is true. Literally anyone. It’s a fact that Nakel told people to hurt Lottie’s locals. Again, there is video proof on YouTube. How could my take be biased when there’s footage of nakel doing just that.
-
Well of course someone who is close to the shop is going to paint the story in a way you’ve described it. The same way Nakel’s crew will downplay the situation to make him look favorable.
I’m just saying for me to believe that this story is simply, “crazy Nakel sic’d his goons on Lotties employees because the doo-doo griptape weed man felt disrespected” requires a lot. Especially when most of the situation is a big he said she said, and that he is still somehow backed by DLX and Adidas.
Edit: had to fix some autocorrect bs.

I agree with you to an extent, that the shit on grip tape story is hard to believe, but nakel and his friends are truly that petty. They are in fact Pettier than you could even imagine.

Say what you want, the fact is a Special needs person was assaulted because of Nakels actions. Go ahead and back him and his new King skates if you want, but getting someone assaulted who had nothing to do with your problems and someone who can’t defend themselves is down right evil.
-
For example, you totally left out the part where Mike wouldn’t let Nak’s homies pet the shop dog.
As a dog owner I honestly really don't see anything problematic with this. You don't need to let strangers pet your dog.
It this the video?

So the launch of this company is based purely around Tyshawn's SOTY push? 2 boards and a 2 minute video? No real introduction to a team, no boards available in shops, I don't know, maybe because I think Limosine's roll out was so successful and almost set a blueprint for all new companies in a sense, this just feels like a letdown.

Seems like this is only TJs brand. After the "for days" interview where Nak recounts how TJ said he was leaving FA and Nak chimes in and says "where we going? Sounds like TJ was gonna do this with out Nak, and Nak decided to join TJs new project. Then the brand drops with a board and video with only TJ. If I was Nak and part owner of the project I would want my board to drop and have clips in the first offerings.

I feel you but at the same time I’m sure he understands. He wants his best friend to get soty again and I’m sure he knows he has nothing to offer to that, if anything it’d take away. He has a 1 minute (lol) “part” coming out soon anyway.

I reckon Naks happy to let TJ take the lead as it's obviously his thing, and a bit of a SOTY push. TJ is pretty ambitious too so I dont think he would have minced words about letting him take the lane for the launch / soty window, but it def seems rushed and undercooked. I reckon Nak will have a short part in Jan. Hope it doesn't just vapourise when he realises how much work it is, like most of these vanity projects.

If they was on sale. Yes, contingent If the art department was better and didn’t do the blatant copy paste. I wasn’t aware when I first saw the graphic. I was stoked it was gonna be like geared towards black history. I say that as an old white guy. But it would be a cool concept. Even though the first graphic got into heated debates on slap. If they would have an artist do a depiction on mansa musa and that would of been cool.
But I don’t think TJ is as great of a business guy as most of slap does. He needs to hire an artist and have a direction and I don’t think he does.

Kinda funny that even fast food chains aren't a great investment right now.
Their prices are on par with a regular place in my area now and they can't attract workers, even with a 20/h wage.

If you like money so much, why do you keep trading yours for briefs? Id like a pair of briefs with a picture of a nice comfy bed, with a bedside table with a nice glass of water on it. Im about that shit for sure.

So the launch of this company is based purely around Tyshawn's SOTY push? 2 boards and a 2 minute video? No real introduction to a team, no boards available in shops, I don't know, maybe because I think Limosine's roll out was so successful and almost set a blueprint for all new companies in a sense, this just feels like a letdown.
The site is also kinda bare bones. No soft goods, no stickers or merch, no information on the (two) decks other than width (no other dimensions, woodshop, printing details, etc.), no team hype… it all just seems really cheap and lacks a concept other than "Tyshawn has his own skateboards." I was expecting them to lean really hard into the whole "King" thing as in all black men going for theirs are kings. This just seems incomplete.

I remember when I was called a racist for saying he isn't some sort of massively successful entrepreneur and that it wasn't guaranteed his brand would be successful. "Hate to say Atodaso, but Atodaso". Possibly one of the weakest brand launches I can remember. They should have been well prepared for him getting SOTY and had a ton of product to cash in with.

It is kinda weird. You’d think if you’re starting a brand you’d have at the very least a designer you’re working with. But I guess that explains the free logo creator crown they’re running with. I just don’t get it though, he runs Hardies and I like the branding they have going on there. You’d think some of that team would be involved in this brand.

I saw in an interview Tyshawn mentioned he likes reading books about money and success. I have a feeling there was a chapter about branding that grossly over simplified the process of creating a brand. Like the book was under the assumption that it was be some average joe shmuck starting a small business in their hometown. Simple name and instantly readable visual icon that is appealing to the masses. Tyshawn didn't factor in that he has to appeal to a niche market, not the average citizen.
Just seems like there is not real game plan here, sad to see. The 1970s looking KING that was on the website before it launched looked very promising like maybe he'd use 70s NYC imagery or something, but this shit is so fucking bland, yeesh.

The problem is they'd have to drop their team because of brand confusion, like when Diamond started making shoes and most of their hardware team had other shoe sponsors.

Nope, you're not the only one.
https://youtu.be/DV2A8icT7PI
I personally think the Hardies logo/branding, while better than this King shit, is still really awful. Especially since it's named after a car/whatever-spotting game, which we called "Slug Bug" when I was a teen (and I've come across variations since then, like Padiddle, one that centered around abandoned shopping carts, etc.). It really is a dumb name that just seems kinda cool because it can double as the Black Power salute. The actual hardware doesn't bother me though and the film canister packaging is nice.

Oh damn I didn't realize it was just Punch Buggy. Padiddle is the one headlight version, at least it was in the 60s.
The elephant in the room is that it's also the name of Carl's Jrs in a bunch of different markets but I always thought that was kinda sick that they just went with it anyway.

Here's a little tip that will help you out in the future when you're fisting someone for the first time. Thumb always goes on the inside. Hardies Hardware logo is an obvious reference to the raised fist salute:

Not to dredge up old recepits but Babylon was initially directly involved in the beef. Nak big upping Neighbors was a pivot later in the story.
Lotties can kiss my ass. One of the owners of Babylon is black and the owner of lotties got the nerve to dislike his shop that’s in a black neighborhood after the fact that Babylon tried to be coo with lotties. & note… the owner of lotties it’s note for the skate community, how you gone tell the Lil kids from

Frog and alltimers are bad on purpose "ironically" where as king is bad on purpose because the guys on it have unchecked egos and no idea what they're doing. Or it could be the forum that champions for minorities and other liberal values just suddenly decided to hate black people like you seem to be implying.

The brand is shit so far but TJ's not stupid. After seeing the negative reception he'll probably try to turn it around by hiring an art department and people who actually know what they're doing. Putting out a sick video will definitely help the brand. Either way, I don't care if they succeed or not. I'm not a fan of any of these dudes and would never support them. Especially Nak.

Got roasted by my buds when I said this company is gonna be really low effort and fueled mostly by the two big names’ egos and sense of entitlement to skater’s money. They’ve all been really quiet since the graphics come out.
Really surprised they haven’t even started selling t shirts or anything besides the decks. Seems like every no name has a hobby t shirt brand these days. Much bigger margins too.
-
Has any collab or anything Nak has had his name on that wasn't an FA deck sold well? I remember all his Adidas shit being heinous and going on close out soon after release.
This company's image is like 2 teenagers in 1999 finding out about the Illuminati on a Geocities page and "tagging" symbols on their book covers during English class.

I checked out the store and really ... this is it?
The much anticipated "KING SKATEBOARDS"?
So many cool things they could have done with this: First board of every rider should be them painted as an old king.
Future ideas:
- Famous old crowns series > painted
- dead pharaos (mummies) series in a "paper clippings" style.
They even could have gone the "hammer" route and print a realistic crown painting on the board, cut a small piece out of the wood and put a real (cheap plastic of course) gemstone in there ...

Yeah he’s super smart! He’s hiring an art department months AFTER the brand has started. Let’s stop with the Elon-ification of Tyshawn here. He’s s good skater, but many many good skaters have blown it trying to run a board brand. This is just 3D all over again

By what I've seen so far it seems like their whole thing is to just praise black people.
Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe
"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."
"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."

Not only did he wait til the end of the year he also had footage stacked over the years which yes that’s the old way of doing stuff but he stacked all that footage and waited til the end of the year to drop it to win SOTY. Mark Suciu lost to Milton and filmed 3/4 parts in a year to win. Tyshawn wants to win a third SOTY it’s just gonna be lame to see him film a ton these next few years and then come out with an obvious SOTY push.

This is probably how they are. No lie.
You think that the current SOTY, who's in his mid-20s and living in NYC, is out of touch with skateboarding?
In a recent interview, he made a point of telling the interviewer how out of touch he is with skateboarding, saying he doesn’t really pay attention to skate videos and all that.
He also said it’s dumb and he doesn’t like how skaters drop tons of footy at the end of the year for SOTY and then he went and dropped a ton of footy at the end of the year to win SOTY.
TJ on hypocrite?
Just throwing the losers off the SOTY victory trail. 😎

I mean Nakel *is* out there skating street all the time... I don't care for the dude as a person but he's pretty prolific and is good on a skateboard, even if most of his clips go to instagram or homie videos

hockey has done more than FA, no ?
-
The FA comment always seemed bizarre to me. He was the one who didn't go on any of the trips post 2017, and wanted to either film in New York, Los Angeles or SF. FA/Hockey have done a handful of trips in the last few years, there's been every opportunity for him to be involved and engaged but he's always been on his own time. Even when they were in New York for 2 weeks for the store opening, he only appeared on 2 sessions, without a board. I love Tyshawn's skating, but he's created a huge rod for his back, and with this weird soft launch of his company and his comments.
-
is there anyone not named louie on FA that is consistently productive?

damn was expecting people to talk about na-kels board, here it is if you havent seen it. opinions?

The beauty of a shaky art direction that is rubbing white people the wrong way is that a potential OJ Simpson class photo FA spoof boards is now in play. Make it happen King.

find it interesting theyre incorporating islamic themes in king skateboards
1. Mansa Musa - a rich muslim king - being used as Tyshawns board graphic
2. putting Na-Kel's middle name "Allah" on the board instead of his last name on Na-Kels board
3. common phrase in arabic: bismillah - commonly translated by non Arabic speakers as "in the name of Allah" (it more accurately means "with the name of Allah") - being juxtaposed onto Na-kels board
4. A crescent moon + star (a popular emblem often linked with Islamic culture) on Na-Kels board
what does this all mean, do we got some habibis in dis bitch? are we expected to see a carpet co collab?
or are they disrespecting Islam by modifying a revered & timeless phrase spoken by all muslims

"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization.

I'd skate that Nak board in gold for sure. I think it's cool. I back black owned businesses. I am about equality for all people.
This will frighten some tho maybe. They will say that King Skateboards is on some kill whitey shit. That they are rasist and or that this is some woke ass bullshit.
Really these people just feel left out and angry. They probably don't realize they are hating and flexing their privilege.. And they got that mindset from the system. A system that is designed to be anti Black.
Most don't even realize they are on some subliminal system shit and are running the program by accident. That's the design and one of the main reasons liberalism is kinda gross.
I know better tho and I remember how uninviting most of skating used to be specifically African Americans.
I'm stoked to see what these kids do next.
I hope it works out for them I really do. I will definitely buy one when I see one.

It wasn't just Wu Tang, Gravediggaz really went hard on that shit (Arm to the Leg Leg Arm to the Head). Yes, I know RZA was part of that too, but not as mastermind/producer.
But yeah, I'm a pretty big Wu fan, but I was 15 when the debut dropped and all of that shit went over my head. I just thought they called each other god because it sounded cool and that "Power U" was poetic nonsense verse. I gradually learned about Five Percenters and how deeply the knowledge was woven into Wu's whole thing.
Regarding this King graphic, the content doesn't bother me in the least, but its execution is aesthetically horrendous and very low-effort. It's an eyesore.

I want to see YAKUB on a board next
-
“Five Percenters believe that the original inhabitants of the world were Black (which they refer to as the "Asiatic Blackman" and believe had inhabited the earth for "66 trillion years") who ultimately descended from the Tribe of Shabazz, while the White race are evil "devils" who were created 6,000 years ago on what is today the Greek island of Patmos by a 'rogue bigheaded scientist' named Yakub (the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob) who was of the Meccan branch of the tribe. After the Whites attempted to rise up against their creators, they were exiled to the caves of "West Asia" - what would later be known as Europe. The Yakub origin story is the basis for all Five Percenter racial understanding.[72]”

Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe
"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."
"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."
"Members of the group call themselves Allah's Five Percenters, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people in the world are elites and their agents, who know the truth of existence and opt to keep ninety-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the ninety-five percent."
"The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe."
Conflicting percentages ;D
Why would you copy and paste and change eighty-five to ninety-five? What a weird route to be a dickhead. The original link does not have ninety-five percent listed. I'm not defending any belief system here, but you took a stretch and I'm calling you out on it.

Black god’s*, thank you for the correction. Honestly, judging from the comments in Nak’s post, quite a few 5 percenter’s aren’t hyped on it either. Honestly, not my favorite for whatever that matters, but also doesn’t trigger me much.
I suppose the point in my last post I attempted to make was: the same ways you might criticize 5 percenters, can be claimed about christians/catholics.

Interesting catch but 95% with 10% chosen is what the Wikipedia page said as of Monday night. I know this because the iffy math was called out on Gifted Hater's twitch stream before any of the 5 percenter stuff was posted in this thread. I assumed the increase to 95% was an olive branch to try interest other cultures in getting involved. This is the problem with Wikipedia as a resource as I suspect it was edited and then edited back to show the correct values.

i don’t know that much about the five percenters but my thoughts
10% are chosen
the five percenters are half of the chosen and want to enlighten people
the other half is trying to keep the rest of the population (95%) ignorant
50% of the 10% (so 5% total) are bad guys, the other 50% are the five percenters (good guys)
the bad guys do not consider the five percenters as the chosen and vice versa, but both groups make up the 10%
maybe the article is just poorly written
idk i might be reaching but it kinda makes sense to me
lol at whoever implied that five percenters are black supremacists
edit: i see that the article was changed but if there are indeed 10% of the bad guys and they want to keep 85% of the population ignorant do they just want to let the five percenters to do their thing either way? i might just be dumb but my theory makes more sense to my small brain

By what I've seen so far it seems like their whole thing is to just praise black people.
Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe
"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."
"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."
"Members of the group call themselves Allah's Five Percenters, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people in the world are elites and their agents, who know the truth of existence and opt to keep ninety-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the ninety-five percent."
"The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe."
Conflicting percentages ;D
Why would you copy and paste and change eighty-five to ninety-five? What a weird route to be a dickhead. The original link does not have ninety-five percent listed. I'm not defending any belief system here, but you took a stretch and I'm calling you out on it.
Interesting catch but 95% with 10% chosen is what the Wikipedia page said as of Monday night. I know this because the iffy math was called out on Gifted Hater's twitch stream before any of the 5 percenter stuff was posted in this thread. I assumed the increase to 95% was an olive branch to try interest other cultures in getting involved. This is the problem with Wikipedia as a resource as I suspect it was edited and then edited back to show the correct values.
i don’t know that much about the five percenters but my thoughts
10% are chosen
the five percenters are half of the chosen and want to enlighten people
the other half is trying to keep the rest of the population (95%) ignorant
50% of the 10% (so 5% total) are bad guys, the other 50% are the five percenters (good guys)
the bad guys do not consider the five percenters as the chosen and vice versa, but both groups make up the 10%
maybe the article is just poorly written
idk i might be reaching but it kinda makes sense to me
lol at whoever implied that five percenters are black supremacists
Not reaching, you’re one of the few logical people in this thread. The 5% are the righteous poor teachers of Allah.

“Five Percenters believe that the original inhabitants of the world were Black (which they refer to as the "Asiatic Blackman" and believe had inhabited the earth for "66 trillion years") who ultimately descended from the Tribe of Shabazz, while the White race are evil "devils" who were created 6,000 years ago on what is today the Greek island of Patmos by a 'rogue bigheaded scientist' named Yakub (the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob) who was of the Meccan branch of the tribe. After the Whites attempted to rise up against their creators, they were exiled to the caves of "West Asia" - what would later be known as Europe. The Yakub origin story is the basis for all Five Percenter racial understanding.[72]”

It was indeed Meth who rapped that verse. It was in Raw Hide from that ODB album.
A few years ago, I witnessed a speech from a 5% member and actually that was really chill and cool. Kinda like going to church on sunday. But the thing is, well yeah the majority of 5%ers have dark skin. They don't view themselves as a religion, there may be a few religious elements here and there, sure.
But they are not pro-black or anti-white. You can even join them if you are Christian, Jewish or whatever else. They don't partake in hate against religion. The color of your skin also doesn't matter to be a part of the 5%ers.
English isn't my first language, but I gave my best to explain this. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings either.
With all that said, I think I am not the target group for this brand and I am not too big on the name. But if the deck is on sale and I like the specs, why not. I mean, the graphic will be gone anyway after a few minutes on the flatrail.

I don't get the hate. From what I've read of the 5% stuff, it's very positive. The RZA has a couple books that go into some of it.
It's not a terrible graphic and if it really means something to Nak, I'm all for it.

i changed nothing, i guess someone corrected it after i posted it
wiki has its flaws but how dumb would it be to quote it and change it
To be honest, i realized after i posted that later in the article the numbers were different (and correct).
I just found it funny with the Supreme Mathematics reference.

Since they divorced and she went back to not being Muslim I see huge smiles on her face and she’s having fun again.

Not only did he wait til the end of the year he also had footage stacked over the years which yes that’s the old way of doing stuff but he stacked all that footage and waited til the end of the year to drop it to win SOTY. Mark Suciu lost to Milton and filmed 3/4 parts in a year to win. Tyshawn wants to win a third SOTY it’s just gonna be lame to see him film a ton these next few years and then come out with an obvious SOTY push.
Pretty sure his manager called Louie and told him something along the lines of “You should sit on the rest of your footage till next year…”

Yakub is said to have been born in Mecca at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied". He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. Yakub acquired the nickname "big head", because of his unusually large head and his arrogance. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel.
This insight led to a plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man.” By the age of 18, he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the original black man contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers, he went to an "isle in the Aegean Sea called Pelan", which Muhammad identifies with Patmos. Once there, he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies, and created a brown race after 200 years.
Yakub died at the age of 150, but his followers carried on his work. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics, the white race was created. The brutal conditions of their creation determined the evil nature of the new race: "by lying to the black mother of the baby, this lie was born into the very nature of the white baby; and, murder for the black people was also born in them—or made by nature a liar and murderer".
The new race traveled to Mecca where they caused so much trouble they were exiled to "West Asia (Europe), and stripped of everything but the language....Once there, they were roped in, to keep them out of Paradise....The soldiers patrolled the border armed with swords, to prevent the devils from crossing." For many centuries they lived a barbaric life, surviving naked in caves and eating raw meat, but eventually they were drawn out of the caves by Moses who "taught them to wear clothes". Moses tried to civilize them, but eventually gave up and blew up 300 of the most troublesome of them with dynamite.
Thanks for creating white people Yakub, very cool.

lui elliot is kinda a dick tbh
it’s funny he went from being kristina rose’s secretary to being tyshawn’s instagram filmer. idk if that’s a step up or down
Who is Kristina Rose?
He has some weird/obscure job at Thrasher, no?
Can’t imagine the majority of jobs at thrasher pay very well.

Had to google both these people and ones a mediocre pornstar and the other has a really weird awkward style. Still many questions.
Lui is a pornstar?!?
Did NOT know THAT about him.

Gallery Dept sweatpants. In all fairness they are unisex

That’s a women’s cut sweat from 2004. Dude lame. Robert Neal on king would be a plus to primitive tho. Feel bad for saraceno. Glad Nico gets to live his skater influencer dreams tho, idk how that kid has signature colorways for lakai and no footage .
Well it's lakai and he was in a movie
Holy shit that girl is so beautiful. My heart skipped a beat.
If Nak likes Brady bunch pants cool but he definitely doesn't got what she's got.
Also Robert Neil can't be down with king. King needs to keep it core ok

Nah actually this is from back n the 90’s when or maybe even 70’s when people would cut the bottom of the pants leg and sew in inserts to make them wider. Used to be kinda popular. Not defending this pic of Nak though, he looks ridiculous.

Idk yo. Love is love. Sex is sex. I should have jumped right in with porn. Get paid for all that shit maybe and without attachments.
I was shy tho and was taught wrong. It took me like a decade before I figured out that I didn't have to be obligated to see someone twice or for years.
Don't continue the chain of dysfunction. Do what you like with any willing consenting adults you like. It's ok.
Wear a hat tho always.
Also it's ok for people to work in pornography. Who are we to say anything against it. Porn stars deserve our support so that they have good working conditions too

As highlighted in Susanne Pagold’s definition of fashion as “to dress like everyone else, but before everyone else,” the difference between conformity and difference is minimal, yet still the crucial element at the heart of fashion. As I appear, I put myself out to be judged by others, as Kaiser points out, and it is this social and emotional gamble that activates fashion as an energy experienced in the body – a “passion.” As Giorgio Agamben notes, “Fashion can be defined as the introduction into time of a peculiar discontinuity that divides it according to its relevance or irrelevance”
-
Also some queen on Project Runway ran around singing, "Lighten up it's just fashion!"
However, those pants are NOT fashion. They're tragedy.

Well where I grew up it was tradition to lose your virginity behind some bushes after getting shitfaced at the age of 13-14 in a very rural handball stadium.
I can't really figure out, whether it would have been better if we had some sort of social pornstar Security to take care of it.
Personally I lost it to the sound of John Mayer, which I'm not ashamed of, but I really have a hard time figuring out what teenage me was thinking.

This story had everything I wished for <3

Hahaha, I always wondered if pornstar has pretty vanilla recreational sex lives (didn't expect to type that out)
Now that I think about it, maybe they are the rare type of woman that actually want slow, not-loud, romantic recreational sex, to make it different.
with a regular ass wang... yeah, probably not. she probably had to call up johnny sins immediately afterwards.
Not to brag but I'm a 10 inch cocker (when soft) and I'm not a porn actor so I'd hold my judgement on Lui
Anyway, that's not the point

To be honest it does sound like a brag. What was the actual point? Kinda just sounds like you want to tell everyone you have a 10 inch flopper. Which I would probably tell everyone too if I had one.

I recently bought extra large condoms by mistake and only found out when my dick was in it, I tried to tell myself I could do it but at that point I had already lost, I got distracted which made it softer therefore worse and I couldn't feel anything.
It reminded me that long ago I lost a condom inside a girl cause she was having a crazy long orgasm so I didn't wanna stop even though I had nutted minutes earlier, it got soft and the condom slipped away. It was weird later having to explain that I have to fish it out.
So no it's not a tenner, 'when soft' was to make that clear

Dumping water on someone at his age is not savage, it’s douchey, like so much of what this megalomaniac does. It’s so tyshawn though (just like it was so Bam). Also, it’s a thing drunk people do to other drunk people, isn’t tyshawn sober? If so even more questionable. What’s next, soberly destroy the hotel room?

Might be an unpopular opinion here but I love Gary Rodgers. Guy seems like an absolute sweetheart who really loves skating and gives me zero coolguy vibes. Video was unwatchably boring but people give the guy too hard of a time.

The only time my body decides to fart is right after I wake up, and I often can make it continuous for like a whole minute, with what accumulated since the day before
Some could even say it's equivalent to a 10 inch long soft fart

Honestly I don’t see it as such a big deal. It’s just water. It seems like it’s a prank for fun and not anger. It’s not piss or even beer or Coca Cola which would be a bigger mess and smell.

Breaking News: Tyshawn IG Update
TJ catches someone sleeping on the zone in the backseat of the whip and proceeded to bottle squirt the unconscious victim in his sleepy face. #aintnosleepingonthezone
TJ strikes again

These yes men deserve some culpability in creating this situation. I bet TJ goes to sleep in like the zone with waters all around as some sort of sick power move, like a cult leader knowing no one’s gonna make a move.
After saying "Permission to sleep off the zone granted troops" like a true General, they all reply in unison "yes Sir , yes General".
We use to do this to each other on trips.
Oh that’s cool. Was the trip to celebrate that one of your buddies was at the top of the industry for a second time and he did all the pouring on you guys but none of the getting wet, but you didn’t say anything because he was the megalomaniacal owner of a brand called “king” and you wanted to get on even if that meant a little demoralization for his amusement?
It’s wild how averse to pranks y’all seem to be. It’s a dick move, but they’re early 20s guys unsupervised. That’s the shit they do, that’s what my friends did. It’s annoying but it’s not like he’s trying to demoralize or put them in their place. Y’all corny.
As an aside, I was down for the brand until I realized this is all some Hotep shit.

Haha, chill on this one dude. You’re sounding like you got bullied at some point and haven’t let it go. Tyshawn did not go to your high school

Has TJ squirted on anyone bigger than him/his own size?

Hows he supposed to get wet if hes not sleeping in the zone?

I don’t think your right, but being ignorant, shitty and way too fucking stupid to put things together and self reflect could be blinding me to that. If I were to shoot my posts over to you before submitting for a quick look over (don’t want to say editing, we all know that can get expensive), would that be something you could help me with?

I think the filmers just wanted some generic antics to make it seem like they have personalities beyond “I don’t look up to anyone but myself” kind of stuff.
Filmer: “Hey Tyshawn, say something to the camera.”
Tyshawn: “I’m already better than everyone else, my only competition is with myself and I’m the only one allowed to win SOTY with the years-long footage stacking playbook.”
Filmer: “… wanna just throw some water in Zach’s face to seem more relateable?”

Kickflip is usually better looking trick than bs flip.
Say what you want about Sheckler, but he's got a mean kickflip. That kickflip photo is soooo much better than the bs flip.
obviously this angle fits this spot best to show the distance, but Tyshawn/ Atiba woud receive a diss if they have used the exact same angle + distance is already known for that spot.
Don’t want to protect Atiba- but can understand the Choice of this angle.
Picture is pretty good.

I get that a lot of younger skaters here grew up with the Bieber-esque “Life of Ryan” Sheckler, and so they sort of justifiably ignore or make fun of him, but he’s seriously one of the best and most gnarly skaters of his era. I think the lie he told Phelps didn’t help with people’s opinions of him.

damn, that gap is fucked, i wonder if he had a bump or anything outside of frame like brian o'dwyer did for that one philly cover

Vertical photos get covers, horizontal ones not so much. When you have shooting covers in mind vertical trumps all. If I'm Atiba shooting Tyshawn my camera will be vertical 99% of the time. Not a huge fan of this one. Tyshawn is blown out and the angle atiba was holding the camera is weird. It honestly looks like Tyshawn caught atiba offguard and atiba swung around and snapped this in the nick of time. That subway shot though was a masterpiece, just wish it was a better looking kickflip.

He has mastered the art of getting covers that need context. Who's gonna measure the distance this time?
context is overrated when you can flatground kickflip that high. They shot it next to that bench so you could see how high the flatground kickflip truly is.

This is a sick photo and does a much better job of depicting the gap that the skater is clearing but the grizzly grip really ruins it for me
I was eating at a cafe the other day when a 50-something guy walked by outside wearing a flatbill "GRIZZLY" ball cap.
bet you were wearing a singlet and dickies and drinking a half strenght hemp milk cortado. Let middle age men live. The coolness is in the fact they don't give a fuck. Or maybe he was holding onto an idea of youth and hiding a bald spot and caring alot. Either way, don't need your small orange beanie bound brain snearing at the masses. For you are what you hate.

Yeah i was going to say the same thing about the top graphic lmao. Not too bad of a bottom graphic though. It definitely could have been a lot worse. We all have talked to death about how Tyshawn is full of himself so there isn’t much to add in that regard.
Could someone post the original photo of Jordan that this rips off? I’m having trouble finding it right now.

When I checked on this quote my initial reaction was "oh whateverrrrr" but it seems they got it right on the Instagram post about it, which makes me think it was a typo.

Did Nak get bumped down to am yet?
I can see tyshawn not adding too many more people as to not take the spotlight off himself which is pretty funny.

Its lowkey kinda sad. I feel like in his eyes everything he's doing is "king shit" but in reality its budget as fuck. Good on him though for starting something. I just don't think he's got the mental capacity of someone thats the same age but grew up in more traditional fashion. At least he looks like he's having fun and enjoying life.
EDIT: just looked at the recent nyjah boards and dear God are they bad. But there's actually some sort of effort behind it
-

Are you surprised? He has undeniable talent but his presentation after his first SOTY has been sloppy. He’s a jock skater who seems like it’s below him to clean up a trick he makes first or second try.
Remember when he didn’t clear the picnic table then went back and toe dragged it on IG?

Yeah, I actually have been surprised by how bad it's all been because I'm talking about the King brand as a product and business, not his actual skating. Don't mistake my surprise for disappointment though, as I was never looking forward to this venture. Talented skaters aren't always the best businessmen and company owners.
Tyshawn can afford (I'm assuming) to hire a designer or consultant for King, but he can't hire someone to skate for him.
I do remember his picnic table redo being just as sloppy as the first make, yeah.

Atiba knows every Laker and Laker fan and he's not shy about letting everyone else know that he knows them. He recently posted a photo of him and Flea paling around at a game. At least it wasn't with Anthony "Child Brides Are My Thing" Kedis though.

That would be great. Casually droppin' a deuce while holding a championship trophy. Now that's a 2-timer.
-
I have not looked at the website since the first board was released, but I'd say the website is coming along - at least there is an empty apparel section now. Nothing wrong with taking things slow.
-
Is that really Kedis’ nickname or are we being hyperbolic
-
For his next graphic it will be an artist representation of him blowing himself. Can’t wait.

No disrespect, but in this day and age, that's super slow and ill-advised if you're gonna offer soft goods with hard goods. Looks pretty amateurish. They should have had all the product ready from the jump, even if that meant delaying the launch of the brand.

Lame af that he’s just going to hold footage for the next two years to try to win SOTY for a 3rd time. I get holding your footage so you can come out with an amazing video part but to do it just to win a trophy is lame.

the way the left side of the crown has parallel sides going to the point and the right side is slightly off parallel is driving me absolutely insane
-

I think it's also the bottom line isn't level so it's just kind of dimensionally off. There's more space on the right then the left but the point is (relatively) centered with the bolt holes. If you cock your head to the right and look at it you can see the bottom line issue pretty easily.

My problem with the idea of TJ winning had less to do with holding footage than that his skating is very one dimensional. He has a higher vertical leap/ ollie / pop than anyone currently it seems. He does impressive tricks (from flat especially) and broke ground in that, so I totally got the first one. The second one he utilized this specific set of skills in more places, and it was amazing in the same way, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t think he had after seeing what he had already been capable of, but still, it was impressive and I can understand the win. For him to get it a third time, I don’t think it’ll be enough to just sit on three more years of the same genre of stuff, but who knows.
When you think of the other two double skater the years, cole is very well rounded with a way deeper bag of tricks and NBDs (that aren’t just higher longer but combinations of tricks), and d way literally invented a new genre of skating with the whole jumping over ancient walls meant to stop invading armies.
I don’t know if just compiling more years of the same will get him that third trophy, with his doo doo style, even if he saves five years but who knows.
Side note it’s funny that I needed to look up who else got it twice because they weren’t egomaniacal dorks about the second one; could you imagine any other of the SOTY recipients treating the award like this jock goofball does?

SOTY isn't based on merit. It's basically an MTV award. Not saying it's not a great honor. But it isn't democratically based on skating.

SOTY isnt a universal thing. Thrasher picks whoever they want that fits their narrative. It holds no value outside of what that brand thinks is cool.
Lots of skaters dont have one that should. lots of skaters that have one already are way more deserving of another than tyshawn.
Daewon has 1. Ishod has 1, Leo has 1, tony hawk has one, but tyshawn has 2??? Tyshawn is Danny Way/ Chris Cole good????
Rodeny mullen doesnt have any. HK, none. Jamie Thomas, tom penny, brandon westgate, louie lopez..... all have none but tyshawn has 2..
Shit means nothing. Its cooler to not have one and be one of the dudes we ask why and how about than to have 2.

Yep. It's also not based on an analysis of tricks done, at what spot, at what level of difficulty, etc. If that was the case then might as well rename it the Dumb Data Skater of the Year.
BTW, I can't wait to see the Zach Saraceno graphic. Should be good for a larf.

Unfortunately your skating doesn't matter as much as hanging out with the "cool guy" thrasher clique does. I can't tell if I'm watching tyshawns stories on instagram or Thrashers stories anymore. This second SOTY win just confirms its not what you know its WHO you know. Never expected thrasher to hype up a skater that is on some next level jock shit.

I have an idea so that it thematically ties in with what they've got going so far: Saraceno dressed in all black—beret, sunglasses, leather gloves and trenchcoat, combat boots, fatigues—fist in the air, gun in the other hand, and call it ZACH POWER.
It's either that or:
- Saraceno with scepter, crown, robe, sitting on a regal throne in front of the downtown Los Angeles skyline a la the Natas 101 graphic.
- a natural blank that just says "WOOD" on it.
- a tall glass of milk.
Wait a sec. These would actually be amazing graphics.

I made this argument against holding footy in one of the SOTY threads and people were not very receptive to it.
I still feel like holding footy for SOTY is lame though.
Especially if you say its lame and wack and then do it anyways like TJ did this last year.
My problem with the idea of TJ winning had less to do with holding footage than that his skating is very one dimensional. He has a higher vertical leap/ ollie / pop than anyone currently it seems. He does impressive tricks (from flat especially) and broke ground in that, so I totally got the first one. The second one he utilized this specific set of skills in more places, and it was amazing in the same way, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t think he had after seeing what he had already been capable of, but still, it was impressive and I can understand the win. For him to get it a third time, I don’t think it’ll be enough to just sit on three more years of the same genre of stuff, but who knows.
When you think of the other two double skater the years, cole is very well rounded with a way deeper bag of tricks and NBDs (that aren’t just higher longer but combinations of tricks), and d way literally invented a new genre of skating with the whole jumping over ancient walls meant to stop invading armies.
I don’t know if just compiling more years of the same will get him that third trophy, with his doo doo style, even if he saves five years but who knows.
Side note it’s funny that I needed to look up who else got it twice because they weren’t egomaniacal dorks about the second one; could you imagine any other of the SOTY recipients treating the award like this jock goofball does?

I was just watching some Thrasher stories and thinking about how bangin of a SOTY trip we would have got if Louie won.
We wouldn’t have gotten to see that fire Gary Rogers hooping tho. I was impressed.
I think an interview segment where Gary is playing basketball against the person he's interviewing and talking shit to them while doing so would be pretty good honestly.
I want my credit if you use this idea Gary. I know you're at least lurking in this thread.
Careful bud, getting a little grandiose.
I dapped Gary up in Montreal, we're basically best friends now, I deserve as much.

If your graphics are just going to be images you didn't create, then I think you need to at least try to find some unique or interesting shit. Kings tut mask literally tours the world so every tom, dick, and sally can go look at it. What's the next ground-breaking graphic - Muhammad Ali over Sonny Liston?

this really pains me. I was so ready to be a peasant to this king brand, but it just sucks. Please do something creative or original. Call your ams “princes” or something. I’m in the Middle Ages of life where I make decent money and wish to support this brand but there’s nothing there. At they ever going to give Zach a board or is he jus man prince status? They never sell boards in my size. Id even buy a nakel board if they made it in my dimensions.
Supreme X Hardies coming soon but I don’t have my hopes up for this either. More low effort from both parties like the duck down collab last season and the last how many TNF collabs. Brick sucks too.

It’s not at accident, it’s run by two guys with no aesthetic taste and their hangers on. Many board brands before have shown that ability to skate ≠ ability to run a board company.

they may not be able to articulate that a strong creative front is what they want, but that is absolutely what kids want.
all the most popular and successful brands with the youngins have strong visual branding and consistent art direction. FA/Hockey, Polar, Quasi, even the more mainstream brands like Primitive.
branding is really all you have when it comes to board companies. everyone is offering essentially the same product more or less, there's not that much variation in wood or shape. Tyshawn seems to think that this brand will be carried off his reputation as a skateboarder and cultural force alone, which may or may not be true, but if he took even a LITTLE more care with the branding, graphics, and art direction, his reputation would be able to carry it quite a bit further. Instead, he doesn't seem to think it's necessary and as a result, most people are thinking "well, I like Tyshawn, but..."

King Skateboards is really just Fucking Awesome minus the “Fuc” and the “Awesome” if you really think about it.

It's crazy that Dill was getting oil paintings done of Tyshawn wearing crowns n sitting on thrones for fucking awesome and King decided to google 10 ten most famous kings (#3 will shock you!) For their graphics

Sticking with the theme of off-center graphics of questionable resolution featuring famous "Kings", I designed a couple decks that Tyshawn is free to use, I don't even want royalties or anything.

This shit isn't even a real brand, zero ads, zero merch, zero boards in shops. Literally is just 2 guys making a limited deck order to PS Stix every few months to keep them afloat.

I don’t know the specifics but generally I think you simply you own a business which barely or never manages to turn a profit so you never owe taxes, and you use the business to pay for everything so on paper your income is like $26k or something. Basically a smaller scale version of what every billionaire does. There are legal and illegal ways to do it, but I expect someone at the level of Nyjah or Tyshawn has the good lawyers who set this up so it’s all legitimate.

I assume most pros are paid as independent contractors, which is also how companies get out of providing healthcare. As a contractor you have to take care of your own taxes and a pro who is getting a large untaxed payment from say a shoe company could use the losses on their board company or a restaurant they own to offset the taxes they owe from their income. None of that is illegal, or even frowned upon. If that business somehow becomes profitable, then great you’re making money, if it loses money then it doesn’t really matter you can use that loss to reduce the tax you owe from your work as a contractor.

i could see why Tyshawn would do it, but i wouldnt imagine Nakel would have a reason to lose (what i imagine to be) a generous FA check
but then again, the fact that Tyshawn opened a restaurant - an extremely risky market to enter - also implies that he's willing to take risks
all speculation

How could you possibly get that from an image of the Tutankhamun burial mask?
Graphic 1: image of Mansa Musa, the wealthiest (black) man to ever exist
Graphic 2: reference to Kobe Bryant who also had two medals (I don't know enough about basketball to fully understand this graphic)
Nakel's graphic: reference to 5% nation which was a black nationalist movement
and then...
Graphic 3: image of Tutankhamen. It is very common for people influenced by afrocentrism to believe that ancient Egypt was ruled and populated by black people.

Awe man. Nice. I wish I would've got to King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King first... I'm a big fan. Although these days it's fully Red > In the Court of the Crimson King for me. "Starless" makes me weep it's so good.
At this point, with all brainstorming we've been doing, we're all unpaid interns for King Skateboards nonexistent art department. Hit us up king.

This entire thread is gold. Makes me wish TJ and Nak had the tongue-in-cheek sense of humor to embrace these graphics and run wild. . .
thats the saddest part, they'll never embrace the free graphic design work from slap

Some of those FA graphics are sick, I’m a Tyshawn fan but he’s dropping the ball on this. He needs a real artist who can do some shit for the brand instead of outsourcing this shit to his friends. An artist doing their graphics consistently (like an Evan hecox) could give the brand an identity

When I noted that just because TJ is a good skater with a restaurant doesn't mean he has the design and marketing chops to run a skate brand I was told I was a racist, but it fucking turns out to be true so far.

The artwork in question has belonged in the public domain for decades, and even the scan itself belongs to the Library of Congress. Tyshawn has no claim to a copyright, but he's perfectly within his rights to use the artwork.

Sorry to say these are the worst graphics in the game.
Zach is having fucking terrible luck with boards so far… Mikey Alfred and Wikipedia sourced his only pro models.
Can someone please DM Tyshawn all the graphics from this thread?
I want King to be cool.

Has anyone rode one of these boards yet?

Zach deserves better than IC and King. Might be an unpopular opinion but he would be great on FA

At this point, bro should’ve just stayed on IC unfortunately
-
that king graphic is a brick, not saying running a brand is easy but it cant be all that hardies. this makes me want to smack my mama
-
The Midas graphic is kinda sick and reminds me of the Mansa musa graphic but holy Christ are the rest of them all over the place. Also the MLK on a board has been done to death already let’s get Hank Hill on there or something
Mlk board is sick as long as some of the money goes to a good charity or something. If not, then using his image to advertise is extra wack.
I'm loving this karen energy, all artistic usage should be contingent upon the source of inspiration getting a percentage. DGK is about to be out of business

I wonder when they gonna surprise us with a queen instead of a king, like slapping a public domain image of cleopatra on a board.

Fantastic skating. Excellent song. Editor needs someone to explain not all edits need to be "to the music", but rather one might let the music dictate whether that kind of edit would make sense.

The Supreme x Hardies collab gave a glimpse into what a company owned by Tyshawn could be if there was an actual art department. I’m under the impression tyshawn isn’t keen on aesthetics judging by his fits too. Kinda just wears an amalgamation of whatever is new from Supreme. Other riders seem to know how to put a twist on the gear. I’m sort of surprised he hasn’t had an adidas clothing line or something either. Blodney seems to have a vision for example.
Man these graphics suck. Could imagine this company being owned by a history professor searching Jstor for high quality king images during research for a book and printing out decks on CCS

hardies supreme wasn't really good
but I like the hardiest logo
I dont really know what makes me want to buy boards if its the art direction a cool name like toy machine or stacked team.
I mean I prefer good looking boards and have color preferences on top and bottom ply but otherwise who cares.
but looking at the website of king (the name just isnt really creative) is depressing. I dont really get the direction and color choices. next to that numbers looks like a good idea.

they haven't come out with apparel nor dropped a decent board graphic. if anything, they've gone downhill rather than risen up.

Amazing that they're doing a photo essay called "Zenith" about their six month old brand which basically no one who isn't paying an unhealthy about of attention to skateboarding has heard of.

any paris pals seen a king skateboard in the wild?

No one thinks that Zenith is a way to generate hype for the brand using the Adidas connect?
People just want to hate on King because they don’t like Nak and think Zach Saraceno still has Illegal Civ funk all over him.
I personally dig the brand and want to see what they can do.

On second thought, this might seem like putting the cart before the horse, but I believe Tyshawn has a lot of "The Power of Positive Thinking" and "The Secret" energy in him, and this is another attempt to manifest his destiny as great and powerful individual.

This does make me wonder how long King will be around I’d have to imagine they fucked up a big bag not putting the logo on shirts idk who would wanna walk around with that corpo ass logo but some people like this enough for decks to sell out. Either that or Tyshawn is forcing all his restaurant employees to buy the boards themselves.

Wait, people actually hate that book? It’s a book on investing and financial literacy.
Can’t knock a guy from Soundview Bronx trying to make the most of the opportunity he’s got. Soundview isn’t Williamsburg or Bushwick with the new residents getting subsidized by their parents in some other state.
Disappointing that skaters are quick to jump on a black owned company just starting out, saying it’s half-assed.

Tyshawn has a high end suv in a city known for it public transport , a restaurant and a gang of expensive dogs. I think he can afford a couple grand on some art.
this brand is literally using public domain art and by the looks of it like zero overhead . They’re spending almost zero money to even have a brand, that’s not low budget that’s just being cheap.
King skateboards is essentially a drop shipping brand.

well, that's exactly why it's half assed. tyshawn has the funds to renovate houses and open a restaurant and buy nice cars, i have a very hard time imagining he doesn't have the money to put into this brand as much as he doesn't think he needs to put the money into the brand (not to mention he has no real ideas or vision for this brand on a grand scale)
The decks I’ve seen in shops look good, especially the King of Pop one.
Violet, FA, Hockey, and even Quasi follow the same formula art wise. Even Frog gets love and we’ve all seen their graphics…
Renovating houses isn’t cheap, especially properties in New York.
The tax man gets most of your gross revenue, double or triple that in NY.
A skateboard company doesn’t bring in much in terms of hardgoods, though the starting costs are low. Board sponsors never paid much. How King scales in terms of softgoods is TBD.

Personally I'm not up to date with Tyshawns trademarks, that being said idc when he registered for trademarks bricks first ad was in August or September last year and King was announced in October for the general. Taking into account Thrasher prints mags like a month or 2 early let's say June to give them benefit of the doubt. That's still only 4-5 Months between launching the 2 brands. IDGAF when he filed a trademark.

IDGAF when he filed a trademark.
Also bug ups to black John D. Rockefeller for ALMOST selling out his boxers in a year's time
Idgaf when he filed a trademark either, but the fact that he did proves it’s not half-assed. He didn’t pull a Mother Collective at the start, he did his due diligence.

On second thought, this might seem like putting the cart before the horse, but I believe Tyshawn has a lot of "The Power of Positive Thinking" and "The Secret" energy in him, and this is another attempt to manifest his destiny as great and powerful individual.
yes tyshawn is totally a woo/self-help book kind of guy, i remember he posted a photo of “rich dad poor dad” on his ig stories and people on #skatetwitter were like noooo, tyshawn nooooooo!
Wait, people actually hate that book? It’s a book on investing and financial literacy.
Can’t knock a guy from Soundview Bronx trying to make the most of the opportunity he’s got. Soundview isn’t Williamsburg or Bushwick with the new residents getting subsidized by their parents in some other state.
Disappointing that skaters are quick to jump on a black owned company just starting out, saying it’s half-assed.
. probably being black owned has nothing do with it

but it is half assed. objectively.
Half assed or just limited starting budget? It’s not like there’s a Pendleton/Hecox/Cliver/McKee on retainer for art direction.
Half assed, like lots of stuff he does remember Brick Underneath? Started it at the same time as King (smart thinking real business genius) and their first drop still hasn't sold out https://brickunderneath.com/products/100-boxer
If anything the limited starting budget just shows his lack of awareness and business sense
He suceeded with hardies and his restraunt to an extent (3.8 star reviews are nothing to write home about, but I'm sure in your eyes people haven't given it a fair chance) and assumed he had the Midas touch so the board company would just work out
Looks like all he’s got left is an XL in one style of boxer, I couldn’t imagine that the remaining XL constitutes half-assed.
There are trademarks for Brick Underneath and an LLC for King. Both filed a year apart. That doesn’t telegraph half-assed to me.

Wish he'd develop the company more but id probably prioritize flipping houses too. One house probably turns more profit than a small board brand does in a year
that is definitely true, but then why start a board brand at all?

Sorry you’re being kicked out of your home because your landlord sold it to a flipper, but at least a black person will profit hundreds of thousands of dollars from your displacement!

I don’t think you need to be playing chess, you just need a good lawyer who will advise you in how to properly shield your money. I cannot imagine that a young athlete in Manhattan would have trouble finding such a figure.

Don’t care either way about King Skateboards, but it’s pretty well documented how much of a sham that “documentary” is. Most of the kids featured have all been pretty disgusted by it and still claim MJ never touched them even with MJ being dead.

Yeah not gonna leave this here like this... A "sham" is just not true. "Most of the kids" is also not true.
The film is the story of two victims, their view point. It is important to have this documented against an attacker (MJ) who spent his live building a (mostly) positive persona worldwide. And especially high profile predators will have plenty of people at hand to back their story – they even talk about this in the film, regarding Macaulay Culkin. The whole "it didn't happen to me so it can't be true"-point is just not valid. The biggest criticism is about Wade Robsons prior statements in support of MJ. But victims of systemic abuse cant choose when they get around to acknowledge their abuse or the scale of it. And the film does a pretty good job in explaining why – also in regards to other cases.
Sorry for derailing this thread.
Nak and TJ really "pushing skating" and "bulding something unique" here.

Very weak first drop. Graphics are subpar for someone of his caliber and style. With all of the talented graphic designers in skating, and at Adidas he dropped the ball by not hiring one of them.
MJ on a board? Only works when he’s with ET.
But at the end of the day, as long as he and his crew are hyped on them that’s all that matters. I’m sure they will sell.

Seems like a lot of pretty prominent shops in the industry got this first drop and are promoting it pretty heavy. Personally, I think it’s lacks a bit but having the support of well respected shops goes a long way.

I noticed that too...seeing it all over the place. Everybody's hoping it becomes the next "thing" is my guess. Even though I think the brand is garbage, there's a part of me hoping it's wildly successful just to serve as yet another reminder that I'm fucking clueless about popular culture anymore.

Tyshawn is providing commentary on the industry about something that we've known for a long time, that your board sponsor doesnt matter all the much anymore. He is doing this by using bad graphics to make his point. To make money and survive in this industry, you need to have a pro shoe, or some auxiliary sponsor like ASOC/Monster/Red Bull.

As a Skateshop buyer I take a few things into consideration before bringing in a new brand.
King has a two time soty, lots of fans from FA(boards seem to be the same shapes).
Lots of launches are kind of soft where the people involved with the brand maybe under estimate how tough it is to create an aesthetic that fits what they are doing.
If you are into skating and run a shop and have a chance to carry the newest thing sometimes you got to take a chance and hope it sells well.
I remember when plan b first re launched and I made sure to have it and no one cared. A year or so later it was all over zumiez and people asked for it often.
In todays ultra fast market when the kids ask you for the newest and you don’t have it they just buy online. I’m trying to keep them in the habit of shopping us for the newest. If you lose them for a moment they just switch to online.

Not saying the NEED Wiley, just saying that take would at least be a direction instead of google image search “black person + king” like they have done so far
I mean, I guess if someone saw the Nakel smoker graphic that looks like a Limo board they’d think King needed Wiley. 😂

Jeremy Wray did something over a Porsche once. Not sure if there was a bump or not or two separate tricks. Just remember it being in a schoolyard. Don’t think that detracts from this at all

Oh that’s right. Def did a fs 360 then, or am I just making leap bc it’s Wray…could have sworn he did an Ollie on flat afterwards.

Mike Carroll back 180s a car off flat from Thrasher's "911 Emergency" video from 1995. (Edit: as Kombuch-A-Holic pointed out below me, the back 180 is at 9:57) I believe this occurred at a contest in San Jose in 1994, as Marc Johnson mentioned it in this interview: https://sidewalkmag.com/skateboard-news/20-years-girlchocolate-interviews-marc-johnson.html . It's worth noting that he's wearing the same windbreaker from his Bay Blocks lines in FTC "Penal Code 100A." Dope Ice T freestyle afterwards.

People on here acting like being directly under Tyshawn's wing isn't the best possible place for Zach Saraceno to be... Despite having brooms thrown at him and shit I'd day he's probably psyched to be where he's at. A full part from Zach with similar hype / editing as Tyshawns parts from last year would be fucked, hopefully they're stacking clips. Can't wait to see TJ backside flip over that bench from his last cover.

Yep. Even if it was an exaggeration, twice as many graphics in 7+ years would be shockingly low. This isn't the 80's. That said, would you rather have one Dillbert/FA graphic or multiple King graphics? Something to be said about quality over quantity. Regardless, I can fully understand why he left FA. I also think he has a point about pro skaters deserving to be paid more.
Besides that, I thought the interviewers were annoyingly awkward (it's hard to hear these two grown white/Jewish dudes saying "breh", "fyah", using AAVE, etc.) and many of the questions were borderline moronic. I know they're trying to be funny, but proposing he "bomb the Statue of Liberty's titties like the hills of San Francisco" was complete dum dum territory. Also, them saying several times that Tyshawn is humble was unintentionally hilarious.
-
I was just thinking back to that scene in Dill's Viceland Epicly Laterd where he tries to son Tyshawn. That scene hits pretty weird now and it already hit weird the first time.

So I think we can ascertain from this celibacy, whilst still bullying, is an illustration of pent up sexual need in Tyshawn from Zach. Tyshawn desperately wants to hold Zach but can’t due to his humble discipline. Instead he shoves his crotch in Zach’s face, mirroring machismo, but actually needing Zach’s soft white lips to take Tyshawn away from the pain of being an underpaid pro skater. The spray of the bottle is actually a metaphorical ejaculation that Tyshawn so desperately needs but can’t and won’t ask for from Zach. He resents the love he feels for Zach and turns to modes of hatred and oppression.
Poor Tyshawn. It’s always the bully who is in the most pain.

The Hot 97 interview with him annoyed me so I can’t do a podcast. He dissed contest skaters by saying, “They go out and practice.” Was the most pretentious shit ever.
Dude, you also practice. Skating the streets is practice. You don’t land everything first try.
I wish the interviewer would’ve been like, “So you just woke up one day and became one of the best skaters ever?” 🙄

Tyshawn on dry humping. Do you think he let’s himself release or does he conserve his precious bodily fluids?
Semen retention is the key. We just need to have less sex and we too can ollie sports cars.
Tyshawn seems like the soaking type. Or maybe he’s a gods loophole type of guy

Not gonna listen but I’d assume the celibate thing is a “joke”. Seems like something tyshawn would think is funny to avoid the subject of dating
When he won SOTY the first time I realized he was Dating Justin Biebers ex lol she probably broke this mans heart now he’s not trying to talk relationships . I’m probably wrong but it’s possible, I think.
Who was bieber’s ex?
sarah snyder
After a quick google, looks like she’s more known for being Jaden Smith’s ex, which is kinda funny in a way to be dating the ex of the weirdo
She was with beiber then she got caught up with some petty theft situation and I think they broke up after that .she stole some purses or something I might be wrong but I’m not doing the research right now lol

stole a Chanel bag and then showed up to court with the same bag. Kinda hard if you ask me.

that throwing fits podcast was fucking awful. idk who the dude’s are but them come off as a bunch of meatheads
-
The Hot 97 interview with him annoyed me so I can’t do a podcast. He dissed contest skaters by saying, “They go out and practice.” Was the most pretentious shit ever.
Dude, you also practice. Skating the streets is practice. You don’t land everything first try.
I wish the interviewer would’ve been like, “So you just woke up one day and became one of the best skaters ever?” 🙄
I understand what you mean but I also see where he’s coming from. Maybe he didn’t really explain it the best but you gotta realize what me means by saying that. He’s not at a TF practicing the same line 100 times in a row. At the skatepark kickflip backlipping the same rail over and over. He just goes out and skates different street spots mostly. Rarely see footage of Tyshawn at a skatepark. Doing a line in NYC traffic and front boards a tractor. I don’t think he “practiced” that.

He crossed a line by having children over to sleep in his bed at the very, very least. I've seen compelling arguments on both sides but the fact of the matter is he invited these allegations with inappropriate behavior whether they're true or not.

seems like the general consensus so far is that Banks clips are "skatepark clips" now that it's officially sanctioned to skate there (and therefore do not belong in legit videos) however silly that might be. i'd guess that's probably why it went straight to IG

just two of the best skaters in NYC - new spots don't show up out of thin air so obviously there will be overlap.
i doubt there is beef, mutually just not on each others radar.

Yep. Huge fan of British Comedy and the 90’s-00’s was a golden era. I own that one, the various Alan Partridge series, Saxondale, Big Train, BrassEye, Jam, Nathan Barley, Snuff Box, Garth Marenghi’s DARKPLACE, Man to Man With Dean Learner, Look Around You, Nighty Night, The IT Crowd, Mighty Boosh, AD/BC, etc.
Ooh thanks for that list. There’s a few in there I hadn’t heard of before.
Word. They’re all highly recommended.
Yes! Those, plus all the sketch shows from that time too; mitchell and webb, harry and paul, slap the pony etc - Green Wing is great too!

Does Tyshawn have beef with Cyrus or something? They seem to always be neck and neck at some of the gnarly NY street spots
Tyshawn seems like the kind of guy to hate everyone at least a little bit
That would be like Lebron beefing with Austin Reaves.
just two of the best skaters in NYC - new spots don't show up out of thin air so obviously there will be overlap.
i doubt there is beef, mutually just not on each others radar.
2 different styles - tyshawn goes big on the iconic ones and cyrus is deep in the boroughs to find stuff that isn't as recognizable. saw cyrus and limo skating a gap to curb over a tree in my neighborhood the other day.
I feel like Cyrus wouldn’t cool guy me. Tyshawn cool guys his own team
Tyshawn seems like he has that early 2000’s Mike Carroll thing where his default is hella grumpy but he really respects people who aren’t intimidated by him.
Based on interviews Cyrus probably thinks less of himself than Tyshawn does, but also more likely to draw his self worth from where he ranks as a skateboarder.
I can see Cyrus doing more deliberate cool guying after a really long self-righteous vibe check, whereas Tyshawn would just be a dick to you for an hour because you accidentally snaked him.

Thanks for listing all these No Wave. I'm only familiar with Dark Place so it's a lot of new stuff for me to look into.
You might like Black Adder. It's beyond dumb but sometimes that's part of what makes comedy great.

My pleasure. Man to Man With Dean Learner is more or less the second series of Garth Maregnhi’s DARKPLACE, but it’s a chat show spoof with Matthew Holness playing each episode’s guest. Try to track it down. Toast of London (Matt Berry) is a great one from the past decade too.
Nice rec. I’ve been a huge Black Adder fan since I was a teen, especially the first and fourth series. One of the all-time greats. Also love other “oldies” like Absolutely Fabulous, The Young Ones, Are
You Being Served?, Fawlty Towers, Steptoe and Son, etc.
Hot take but the IT Crowd is just Friends for British people. Laugh track is atrocious
Very hot take. Chris Morris and Matt Berry’s bosses (Denholm and Douglas Reynholm), plus Richard Ayoade (Maurice Moss), fully elevate The IT Crowd above the laugh track, but I kinda see what you’re saying. Friends is fucking garbage though. Seinfeld would be closer, but I don’t think an appropriate American counterpart really exists. We’re not silly enough over here).
BTW, Graham Linehan is also responsible for The IT Crowd. Speaking of…

Yeah. Definitely revealed himself to be an intolerant kook, but I still really like Father Ted, The IT Crowd, etc. and considering he had a hand in 75% of the 90s/00s shows I listed, I don’t have a problem still watching and loving his work. You have to admit that the “GAY the Musical” episode is still pretty hilarious, even if no one would dare make that today. I initially thought it was making fun of homophobes, but now I’m not so sure. 😬

tyshawn evolving. nollie heel back board
That was insane! He made a rare, somewhat illegal trick look perfect. That’s Gailea Momolu’s game, he owns the nollie bs everything club for eternity, I’m positive he’ll let Tyshawn in with that one.
I can’t believe this went straight to instagram! I guess we can expect to receive an evolved, no fillers, maybe his best part upcoming.
Gailea giving props in the comments too 🤝 also Ryan Garshell commented “tell me when have you seen TJ do this trick before I’ll wait” and someone commented Away Days with a time stamp and his 2016 run and gun part haha I mean sick trick but nothing groundbreaking like he was alluding to.
Decenzo just did it his contest run on a big ass rail perfect first try. I laughed out loud
-
Not gonna lie I thought most of you hating on FA was just because of Dill's pretentiousness, but after listening to Tyshawn's Throwing Fits ep there is no doubt FA got stale. Or was Tyshawn exaggerating about only having 7 pro models after all that time?

Met a guy named Tyshawn Kingdom at work the other day, not that interesting but felt like I should tell somebody about it

I prefer the style of Cyrus. The powers of TJ is undisputable.
I don't think I've seen TJ do a Manny trick. That's always kinda been my shit. Im huge supporter of flat gaps.
It's kinda neck and neck on terrain. We left with style vs raw power.
I love both. Cyrus is a SLAP patron saint though. TJ is too mainstream and young to be this soon I think.
Only time will tell. I am hoping for a 3rd soty tho

In order to make this assertion, you must have talked to Tyshawn's lawyer and accountant.
Some people still seem to think that this is 2005, and a new brand is going to drop with stack roster, a full length DVD, articles in multiple mags, etc. That era is over, and well paid pros are going to be stashing their money behind on-paper unprofitable LLCs the same way that other rich people do.

Maybe failing a restaurant with his mom working at it was a genius tax write off right? 4D chess and what not.

Damn didn’t realize the restaurant went out of business already.
A fool and his money as they say, still sucks though.
I remember just last year when people here were yelling at me about what a good business man he was because he opened that among other things.
Maybe failing a restaurant with his mom working at it was a genius tax write off right? 4D chess and what not.
i know a guy who is a financial advisor to rich people. he tells every client to NEVER open or invest in a restaurant because the failure rate is astronomical.
Yeah it’s classic athlete blowing money stuff. Investing in your friend’s restaurant, investing in their clothing line, basically any start up with a person you know. Hell, Robert DeNiro’s ass was on the line during the pandemic bc of all his restaurant investments
The fact that customers are socially obligated to pay part of the staff’s wages because a restaurant can’t even afford to pay them minimum wage tells you all you need to know about the margins they’re running

Looks like jr lido is getting boards from em
He is that little kid who skated with Vincent nava for vyzer / 10c41 and he 5050d Hollywood high when he was like 8 or some shit
I was asking myself the other day what happened to this kid. Vyzer videos were great.
I really liked the middle skool vid but I felt like with Vincent gone it just didn’t hit the same. He was the type of dude to put 120% into every clip. The rest of the guys are decent skaters but not close to pro level. I think they were hoping jr would take the spot of Vincent to carry the brand. They are putting out scooter videos now ffs so I think safe to say they are done

Yeah it seemed like his heart was in the right place wanting to set his mom up with a place, but what where their restaurant owning bone fides? When people who know a business tell you there are slim margins and it’s difficult, unless it’s Burnett, believe them.
The stock market indexes have gone up 70% since he started that and even gold is up 30%. His mom coulda been off her feet chilling, and they’d be way up easily instead of way down.

A ton of restaurants folded during Covid or couldn't make a comeback, I almost betting this was the case with tyshawsn restaurant, NY is a hot bed for food and most of them are small business owners, the restaurant was probably doing good before covid.

bummed to hear Taste So Good closed. I was kinda stoked to try it the next time I was in NY. I hope Tyshawn was able to navigate that in a way that didn't fuck his money up too much.

No doubt Covid was hard on restaurants. I’m sure his mom worked super fucking hard too, they lasted 5 years, no small feat Covid or not.
I was just saying from strictly a money perspective, it was always a bad move if it’s not something that you know a lot about. I’m afraid that he might find a similar situation in owning a skateboarding brand, you be better off having business education or experience than to be currently actively at the top of your skateboarding career to run a successful brand.
Sure there are success stories, but way more failed brands and similarly to a restaurant, there is no “moat” and a relatively no barrier to entry for competitors in a highly saturated market.
Tyshawn should let someone else invest his earnings unless he has some actual business credentials or acumen that were not privy to.
This talk of him as a entrepreneur in the past, was as I said, premature and unfounded.

As American as apple pie.
We all know Taylor Swift crossed 1 billion this year and how much Elon is down on his ill advised twitter purchase.
I feel bad for the Tyshawn, but he should listen to someone he pays to “pocket watch” and not his ego. there’s a long list of athletes that could have used lots of people criticizing their investments before the money dried up.
Is it “weird” to see someone making dumb money moves and wish them luck? That’s weird to me.

Being being black doesn't exempt us from criticism. The board company is corny, it is valid to point out when high-profile sponsors support someone whose skills don't align with that of their peers, and critiquing a pro skater whose output is noticeably lower than average is reasonable. Could some of this criticism be motivated by racism? Certainly. However, most of the criticism here seems to be based on observable weaknesses, in my view. Claiming racism as the main factor in situations like this without sufficient reason is the type of shit that weakens our legitimate calls for justice in the wider society.

Also, I’ve seen the phrase 'I could see him on Skate Mental' often used here to imply fading into irrelevance.

If Tyshawn had Gino’s push this would be a different discussion.
Seriously though, comparing skate mental and king is apples and oranges. Skate mental is part of girl skateboards, right? Then there is brad being later in his career, more focused on the brand then his career at that point and having clever ideas for art direction and such. Even so, I’ve seen plenty of criticism over the years of skate mental.
In regards to kader and geno, ironically it’s pretty similar. People definitely criticized Gino when his production was low, and criticized his career choices.
I personally was more annoyed by the people idiotically saying he was basically a business guru and making smart moves, when that was pretty obviously not the case.
-
Skate mental is constantly ripped on. I think the only brand universally hated more is Pizza or maybe Jart.
Plenty of others get called out for things.

Skate Mental is literally a punchline here.

Well by my logic you are not racist since you dont care about swim either. Its ok to not like or care about something new. Just rethink why you shit talk about one thing while something comparable to that is really ok to you and never the attraction of shit talks.
You could argue that numbers was also talked down on here (never understood that the boards looked good the team was stacked id rather buy that than some nazi eagle anti hero board)

The idea that this thread has racism in it probably comes from the logic that running a garbage brand with bad graphics where his friends say a bunch of dumb shit isn’t really worth a 60 page discussion. It’s literally the same thing Nick Trapasso did.
I think TyShawn is sick but he’s not one of my favorites. I wish he skated a wider variety of obstacles tbh. Thing is I often find myself defending him on Slap because I totally see the dog whistles some of the Pals throw out. At worse TyShawn is materialistic and a bit smug, but people put extras on him like he’s some kind of “corporate thug” swindler. It’s really not that serious.
Same with Beatrice. Although I think her criticism is a lot more fair because of her lack of skill, some of y’all are acting as if you’ve never seen an unqualified person get a job before. Your hatred of her helps drive her social media engagement literally making Beatrice one of the more popular female pros…which is the opposite of your fucking goals which is for her to just fade away. Dumbasses, but whatever lol.

Arguing that over 50 pages of discussion on a skater's brand failure is too much discounts the importance of Tyshawn and it seems strange to ignore that fact and dive straight into implying racist intent. A lengthy back in forth would seem normal to me for someone of his significance.
-
The story to me is that one of the best skaters who ever lived quit the biggest team in the sport at the absolute height of his career, in order to start his own skateboard company which hasn't even got a deck on the wall at any skate shop I've been to.

Tyshawn started making money and decides to open a restaurant in his home neighborhood with his mother, which closed in due to COVID. Sounds like he reinvested in his community and family and was met with unforeseen circumstances. Making him seem like a fool for it is a little fucked.
If Sucui started a natural wine bar in Cupertino when he got his Adidas shoe check and it shuttered due to COVID, it wouldn’t be discussed the same way.

If you’re referring to me saying “a fool and his money…” it’s a saying, and everyone’s been that type of fool at some point. Hopefully he learns something from the experience.
It’s a pretty common thing for a gifted athlete to be overconfident in other ventures, outside of where their physical gifts stop being an asset (Jereme Rogers and rapping anyone?) In many cases, they’ve worked at one thing, very hard and with laser focus and assume that they must have just worked harder and with more specific dedication than others, overlooking the physical advantages they had in becoming exceptional. Unfortunately, that same singleminded focus also means they sometimes skipped some of the experiences people have had that will be competing with them in these other fields (say going to college for business or accounting, or spending everyday in a family restaurant instead of practicing athletics.)
As I said before, I feel bad for him. Not as bad as I feel for the restaurants that have no second career to fall back on though. He’s young and gets interviewed about being an entrepreneur consistently, it becomes a self fulfilling narrative that he’s going to buy into, but that’s not going to stop the real world from demanding he knows what he’s doing if he wants to compete off the board.
Sucui didn’t open a wine bar, and despite the margins being better, there being less spoilage, and easier quality control, he very well might have been criticized for being out of his depth.

Yeah - I remember there were Suciu threads around Virso that were way longer than this one with just as much hate. I’m not saying it’s unfair to criticize Tyshawn’s skating or King.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the situation, but it seems like Tyshawn helped open a Jamaican restaurant for his family to operate in his home neighborhood. Seems like a worthwhile pursuit regardless of the return. So I do think it’s irrelevant to point it out in this discussion.
Using Suciu as a hypothetical was stupid but he does seem like one to open a natural wine bar to further gentrify a neighborhood.

In many cases, they’ve worked at one thing, very hard and with laser focus and assume that they must have just worked harder and with more specific dedication than others, overlooking the physical advantages they had in becoming exceptional. Unfortunately, that same singleminded focus also means they sometimes skipped some of the experiences people have had that will be competing with them in these other fields (say going to college for business or accounting, or spending everyday in a family restaurant instead of practicing athletics.)
As I said before, I feel bad for him. Not as bad as I feel for the restaurants that have no second career to fall back on though. He’s young and gets interviewed about being an entrepreneur consistently, it becomes a self fulfilling narrative that he’s going to buy into, but that’s not going to stop the real world from demanding he knows what he’s doing if he wants to compete off the board.
Sucui didn’t open a wine bar, and despite the margins being better, there being less spoilage, and easier quality control, he very well might have been criticized for being out of his depth.
Okay Mikey. Tell Tyshawn to open wine bar.

Tyshawn started making money and decides to open a restaurant in his home neighborhood with his mother, which closed in due to COVID. Sounds like he reinvested in his community and family and was met with unforeseen circumstances. Making him seem like a fool for it is a little fucked.
If Sucui started a natural wine bar in Cupertino when he got his Adidas shoe check and it shuttered due to COVID, it wouldn’t be discussed the same way.
You seem to conveniently forget how much hate Suciu’s SOTY got around here.
Cheers to short memories: long may they wave!

2nded. while i don't think the idea that young black skaters are subject to excess scrutiny is totally baseless, that suciu hypothetical is the worst contrast example possible.
if the dude set up a wine bar that turned out to be modestly viable, there'd be at least 100 pages of people calling him a bougie dickhead. if it was a failure, the ensuing onslaught of schadenfreude and mockery would most assuredly melt the server.

Hate to break it to you guys but Mark’s wine bar will actually be a tapas restaurant with limited hand picked verso wine pairings in Los Gatos. Traverso’s.

I'd like King to be successful because I'd rather see some young ones with long careers ahead starting and succeeding with a board brand vs Strobeck cashing in (and claiming it's for the kids) or another really old dude focused brand that puts out more generic BBS shapes with meh art (not that I love King's either). Hopefully they give whomever came over from the IC implosion a good home and platform.
I don't know what's relevant to younger skaters anymore so I err on the side of Tyshawn likely being more in tune. It's not like his pro shoe is doing poorly or he isn't known for his work ethic and standout skating. Let's compare to who the PD were at this stage in their lives.
Lots of small businesses and restaurants fail. Let's not act like it's always a bad thing. Failure is celebrated in many business circles (especially tech) and the kid has plenty of time to learn from those situations and adapt.

It's alright to say black people, that's what we call ourselves, not POC. Moreover, the folks you are talking about all have lucrative endorsement deals for skating, some without doing much of it, and are living their best lives. Not sure who is dunking on who in this scenario.

I have only seen Tyshawn and nak boards so far so effectively yes… but on the flip side, I can’t imagine any of the ic royalty checks Were that fat anyway so it was probably easy for Tyshawn to buy him at an increased salary with plan to release his board in x drops with a part and ad etc. who knows if this will ever happen though
On one hand if you think about it you only make like $5 a board being on FA or whatever, so you only have to sell a fraction of the boards to make the same money. But there is a lot more work involved rallying all the shit you need to make that happen. If he hires someone better to direct his company he could get distribution etc and he has the potential in the future to make a lot of money. But right now it does feel pretty small time.

True, I did understand what you were getting at, but chose to ignore it for what should be obvious reasons. Thinking I was pretending not to was likely some projection on your part. Instead I chose to correct you on something that was more offensive. Although, I am confused about what pronouns have to do with any of this.

Full LV setup might be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen in an industry that often prides itself on embarrassment.
Tyshawn is making Doug Brown’s career, including the Kermit the Frog Christmas album, look like a respectable hustle.

Black Indys.
This is terrible news.
Why is he doing this to us?.
I wish I had an extra set of 5.2s in low and high. I'd fuckin try to get him on v2020 with us but I can't even afford a loose cigarette at the moment.
Venture is Indy x4.
Everyone who tried my 6.1s has said THAT'S A VENTURE?!?! Feels like an old Indy from the late 90s.
I said booooooooom! You fuckin nailed it. That's it. I love them because they feel classic af. And look so sexy. The fuckin grind is perfect too.
I never get wheel bite but my trucks are beyond loose.
I'm kinda surprised that Ishod isn't on our team. Cuz it seems to me he's going above and beyond to make his thunder perform like a Venture.
I used to do the same shit. Hard NHS top as a bottom with a shaved nah top. I only did it in the front truck tho.
I can't do fakie wheel bite. My left wrist must be protected for guitar time at all costs.

True the board probably sucked. Shitty wheels and wood I’m sure so it is gnarly no doubt.
What sucks is all the other bullshit. Like how he holds the board for the camera and saunters for a bit. If you consider this success sure then good for him. LV is pretty low as far as taste goes. Suburban wine moms in hokas love LV. Fuck dude Mumford and sons sucks too lol

white black brown yellow red purple that whole fit was goofy as fuck and absolutely embarrassing. If he isn't getting 6 figures or more for being seen in public in that clown shit then that's whack.

Yes-- skating in timbs also an official east coast passtime. I've had friends brag to me about the lowest scraped heel flips in timbs you can possibly imagine. Must be very confusing for the sunny weather only folks. Especially with the weather in NYC ha.

Not cool man, not cool.
-
King hasnʻt provided any videos or updates to their site... same with Disorder. Just relying on IG clips to promote their brand.
First off, IG is a huge way to promote. Most non-skaters and/or beginners are looking to IG/YouTube/TikTok for clips. They don't look forward to videos like people who have been skating for a bit look forward to videos.
Also, the biggest thing for Disorder is name recognition — Nyjah. He's kinda like this gen's Tony Hawk/Ryan Scheckler. In all the contests, big sponsors, etc.
My nephew works at Zumiez (yes, that place) and first time board buyers immediately want a Disorder because they know Nyjah from Olympics, SLS, etc. Boards are out as soon as they come in.
While Tyshawn and Nak are big, they're big names in the skate community and don't have quite the same pull as Nyjah.
-
First of all - we have praised Tom Penny for skating in Timbs.
So Tyshawn nollie heelfliping that rail in boots - is heavy stuff.
Concerning that fit - timbs / black jeans/ collage jacket - it’s pretty basic - and not only for the Bronx - saw globally all kind of people rock that style.
The only strange thing - it is completely LV so the board is 5K the timbs 1,5K and the jacket is 5k more. If Tyshawn isn’t getting paid properly for that content and buys that stuff he woud be stupid.
But not more stupid then all the other consumers who spend 88billiion for overpriced rip off designs from LV

The only problem I really have with that clip is the bottom veneer is way too yellow.
Unless it's a screened board. That would be sick to smear around
Also that's trick of the year so far.

Fucking impossible trick on a really fucked up spot. Extremely hard flex overall. Tyshawn is one of the very few who can make skating in luxery apparel look justified. Dylan being the only other that comes to mind.

They’re all dope. That Tyshawn model is cool. I want one too bad all of the boards have the same dimensions other than the width. They’re all short and stubby.
These are soooo much better than the past ones!
-
As much as I don't like Tyshawn, there's no denying that the Timbs nollie heel clip was good as fuck and entertaining. If he isn't getting LV money but repping them that hard then yes, that is some kooky shit. Dude is all about his image and getting that bread, which is an annoying way to be in my opinion. But I think we can all accept who he is as a person by now (flashy and narcissistic) and acknowledge that he's an amazing skater. That said I hope he never gets another SOTY again.
-
The Wire/Omar one is cool.
-
That Nak deck is sick. I'd skate it.
-
The Wire/Omar one is cool.
Super cool, I'd skate it for sure. Also that nollie heel clip is ridiculous.

Im calling it now. Tyshawn will be soty this year and he will deserve it.

As an avid tyshawn hater I can confidently say those graphics are a huge improvement. Doesnt mean they're good though.

2018, 2022, 2024 and deserved all three

IDK if he is getting paid by LV but he's def not buying it. Lest we forget, LVMH owns Supreme, so he basically works for the company.

To be honest he probaby made more money off this single instagram clip than 95% of board companies will make this year. To be featured in a LV campaign while being the face of Supreme and about to drop a third shoe for Adidas, contemplating a 3rd SOTY campaign of terror. Man is in truly uncharted waters.

Third shoe? Interesting

King is less about appeasing the public and selling boards and more about Tyshawn and the IRS

This wack ass brand has deez nuts written all over it

Nollie heel in the LV fit and timbs was amazing. Basically showing off how easy shit is for him. Must be nice.
Honestly best and biggest point with TJ is him being sober. Some real ass shit
-
No Scott J at Adidas anymore either....wonder who will work on a 3rd shoe with Tyshawn
-
The nollie heel was amazing but he also just fully legitimised Louis Vuitton's dogshit skate programme at the same time

Holy shit.

That nollie heel was completely bonkers, and the white nakel graphic in that new drop is really rad. It looks like a 90s anarcho punk band shirt graphic.

It's show flyer.
I bet Nak would be a good singer for a hc punk band. He's got a cool sounding voice.
Skating an music has always been tough to pull off.
I think it's because skating and guitars almost cancel each other out through injury.
I spent most of my life trying to train myself to not put my hands down when I fall. I try to basically wrap my arms around my head if I can see it coming.
I fuckin wish I was regs. To Slip out and land on the strumming hand instead would be a welcome change

Tyshawn just reposted a story from Ryan Garshell editing a video and it says “better late than never”. Looks like the video is called TSOTY. Everyone has been asking about the soty trip video, looks like your wish has been answered. Weird they post it the same day Mile's seems to be going on his Soty trip.

saving footage from his previous soty trip for a 2024 SOTY run is something else...incredible skateboarder, corny everything else...

I’m bored on a Friday night so I did some quick digging. Disorder was announced and selling bloards by June 2021. This guy Jake Stuff posted those Disorder graphics January 2021. I glanced through Disorders IG and didn’t see these graphics anywhere. So my guess is the guy either liked the word disorder and it’s a coincidence, or maybe Jah was trying to get some graphics done by Jeff and they didn’t end up using them or working together in the end. Or he’s just double dipping with two skaters who have money to burn. With all that being said, not sure why anyone is still surprised or in an uproar about either companies graphics. Pretty sure majority of people here were saying how whack these co’s would be when they were announced. Not every company is gonna be an instant classic with graphics and design.

I actually kinda like the Miles Davis graphic. My old girlfriend and I would get drunk and bone to that album. It would be a lot cooler if it didn’t say King on it.

Just the laziest shit. FA already did the Peanuts thing with Spike. Seems a little early to be drawing from that same well.
Miles Davis makes as much sense for those two guys as any other “famous black guy from the 1900s we’ve heard of” has had in any of their graphics.

It's referencing the Dario Argento film Opera (1987, aka Terror at the Opera), not the bloard brand. Besides the film's title/font, they're also using the iconic image of the main character with rows of needles taped under her eyelids (which force her to witness killings). It's not the best Argento flick (by far), but it's definitely the most metal and his last great film.

This was the first thing I thought of. I'm pretty sure he'd be able to kickflip it, but you don't get any warmups. Does anyone know the measurements on this subway gap? It says the trains are about 9' wide, so I'm guessing this gap is approximately 10'. I think the water tower gap is 16'.

Insanely clean for that “spot” I wonder if he could be the guy to step to the Jeremy Wray water tower with a kickflip.

That sounds about right from the start of the yellow to the end of it. He takes off from the very edge, but clears the safety strip, so it's probably more like 13', but it’s also at an angle because of the shitty run up.

I fucking love it. Im hoping a fakie trick goes down here some day. Imagine if someone cabbed it. If i was rich id put a bounty out on this spot. TJ should close it out with all hes got.
i think he could switch ollie or maybe even switch flip the water towers. I think this kids got everything.

Oh Fuck! This would seal the 3rd SOTY

Fakie Ollie would forever shut that spot down

Fakie Ollie would forever shut that spot down
I'd say given the angle, him being regular and his skillset that a switch ollie wouldn't be out of the question, maybe a switch fs 180 or if we're really pushing it, a switch flip.
-
i know it's early but #3 seems pretty imminent at this point. love or hate him his skill is undeniable and there's nobody doing it like him
-
Wait… you fellas reckon he’s gonna up-and-over that cock blocker of a safety railing & THEN clear that gap?!?
Wild take.
I love it.

Fuckin aye. That'd be fucked. Good for goofs. Lol. Imagine that shit. Be like the shifty from hell.

can't wait until he has to re-do it because gifted hater says he didn't hit it at the right angle.

Is you fools thinking this a spot? Nah homie. This some shit you don’t skate and never will. It’s not no spot.

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

the old flex: save it for your part
the new flex: straight to the gram
yes, I think this is more "strategic" or planned as some people here make it up to be. it creates instant hype, reaches more people (arguably also outside of skateboarding), nonetheless hella hard and I hope he's working on part(s)

he is racking up literally millions of views on each clip posted to IG. this one's got 1.8 million already.

If the tre flip is going straight to the gram he definitely switch flipped it for next part

Gram clips get more views than full parts and reach broader audiences. It's an advertiser's wet dream. My wife works in social media marketing and they can pay an influencer $5K for a story and get 2M impressions and ~200K shares OR they can pay that much for a single day ad on a website and get 3M impressions. The shares and engagement are where it's at. Gets and keeps people talking. Whether we like it or not it's more efficient and full lengths are really just for a narrower audience of skaters.
My Dad sent me a picture of TJ ollie'ing over the Ferrari, but he definitely didn't watch Cherry.
Maybe people on Slap don't love King graphics, but I bet once they get more distribution they will become a brand that a lot of kids buy when they're getting one of their first setups just because they've seen a lot of TJ's more "viral" clips.

The problem with using this as a metric is: your dad probably ain't going to buy a King deck.
Anyone trying to sell things on the internet will tell you "views" are meaningless. Traffic isn't a river of gold any more - it's a flood.

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

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

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

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

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

That mofos would too. TJ would have been a bad ass additional time traveling guest of mtv sports.
Dan you should go get that japanese skate show. We could call it Dan Cortez's "Don't Get Focused" and have Andy Roy do all the voices.
Andy Roy is the only thing that could save MTV at this point. We need GG fan videos.
We need an all skatebloarding tv channel. I wanna werk with Ellis. I need to know he really that close to hero? Or is he actually a mean ass jerk pretending to be almost a hero?

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