Good investigative work with that link, dawg...
For those who want proof...

Nyjah's been riding Traffic boards lately. Heard he's moving to Baltimore too.
-
Hopefully Cookie finds something good
Nyjah can join that Berrics deck company
-
Why the fuck did they brand Cookies axle?
-
could see cookie going to Evan smith's thing UMA....Nyjah on darkstar
-
Friendship ended with Element brand. Now Dance brand is new best friend.
-
they would’ve been better saying nothing at all. that was the least personal shit i’ve ever seen
-
I could see them dropping the others but why Nyjah?
He is the poster boy for the kinda asshole that likes Element
They must really be hurting
-
Nigel Skateboards coming in hot.
-
Nyjah seems out of touch enough to make his own board brand.
If he doesn't he'll go to Primitive or April.
-
Guys i think it's time for I&I revival
-
Element is done
-
Hope Cookie and Domo land somewhere good.
Wish Nyjah and Leticia best of luck with their new board company.

Baltimore will not stand by and let Ninejah take Teta's spot
-
Nyjah on FA
i would pay money to see nyjah and caleb barnett switch outfits for a day
-
Element is done
I haven’t seen a kid on an Element deck in as long as I can remember. I don’t think either of my local shops even stock them
They were purchased by an investment firm sometime in the past decade, and I’d wager that they are moving into becoming a Walmart complete brand. Don’t need Nyjah at $860k/year for that

lol wut?

nigel's probably gonna start some bullshit company like "Send Skateboards" that somehow does okay with the 7-13 crowd as well as 24 year old manchildren. its gonna suck shit and everybodys gonna hate it. They'll come out with a video called "Born to Shred". Nyjah has a 25 minute ender part to like 6 travis scott songs. the hellfire will never end.

NYJAH ON 18
HELL RIIIIIIIIII

Yessssssss, came here to say this

Shout out to cky and fred galls soty cuz I jus laughed pretty hard out loud twice and my father in law was not amused by the situation. Thanks pals. You lot outta be gnar'd.
-
Fine, I’ll guess I will be the one to fucking do it.
Could see em on krooked.
-
Could see Nyjah on Nike sk8birdz
-
Since there are like maybe 25 pro skaters who make real money selling decks, and Cookie isn’t one of them, why not just go with Worble, where you’re already involved?

Nyjah, Sinner and Loy pro models. First series is a throwback to those Baker boards that would have like a nightclub scene and each deck was a different pro up to hijinx and features Nyjah and Loy Eiffel Towering a chick and Sinner's board is in the middle with him catching the drippings.
-
Oh no, where will dOmOwAlKA end up, how can I sleep at night?!?!
-
Nyjah creating a new brand would be perfect to be honest. I bet Chase would be on it seeing he has no sponsor.
-
dominick walker just had an interview in thrasher saying he's about to turn pro too, idk if this was a mutual decision like element's post said.
-
happy to see that westgate and appleyard are still on, though

Element giving Ethan Loy a board was the only interesting thing they've done in God knows how long.
These dudes are going to start a brand and sadly it will be successful because of Youtube groms who ~SeNd iT~

Pretty sure he already turned them down once.

Absolutely agree, that was like it was written by a HR robot. “Wish you well with your future endeavours” “Part of their journey” - doesn’t even use any of their names in the post (just IG handles), even by Element standards this is cold and heartless.
All the dudes that left around Peace looking pretty smart now, especially Mason! Hope Cookie just goes to Worble, they make the best videos anyway.

Element seems to be of skateboarding. Curious if they are just waiting on contracts to end
Hopefully ninejah disappears from skateboarding. I hope cookie finds a spot somewhere. I wonder if westgate is waiting til his contract is up then gonna bounce or element drop him. I could see westgate on real.

i remember stumbling across a livestream of a Vans park contest live from china one night 2-3 years back. I had never heard of this cookie kid. chris pastras was calling the play by play for the contest, and his mic was much louder than anything else, comically loud. for some reason he couldnt stop talking about "HIS BOY COOKIE" throughout the entire contest, i honestly thought it was some sort of weird joke bc of how many times i heard the word cookie. all throughout everyone elses runs.
this is how it went:
"Cody Mac really has great usage of the Vans Signature Park Series Procourse A-frame wedge to curb, but you know what i personally cant wait to see fellas? Im really excited to see what my boy chris cookie coldburn has in store for this once in a lifetime Vans Park Series Pro course!!"
at some point in someones run they skate past cookie on the deck...
"ohhh man you can just see Cookie patiently waiting, only 3 skaters heats left before we see Cookie take the Vans Signature Pro Park Series course. I can see the fire in your eyes cookie!! I know youre dying to shred this Vans Park Series Pro course cookie!! hang in there!!"
"AAAAND HERE HE IS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN CHRIS COOKIE COLDBURN LETS HEAR THAT LEGENDARY SHENZEN CROWD ROAR THIS IS WHAT WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!"
quietest i had ever heard a sporting event... this predates covid by atleast 2 years. this cookie kid landed a little fucking boardslide before falling on his second trick and bowing out with 45 seconds left in his run.
chris pastras started yelling something about how this was a once in a lifetime type thing for cookie because of how flawless he had been on the vans signature park series pro course the past 2 days in front of those hyphy Shenzen sk8 hooligans in the stands.
i still have no idea what the fuck was going on, but it was fucked, and ive since lost all respect for chris pastras. get that money buddy but holy shit, who decided to give that man a vans signature park series pro course microphone? yall fucked up. nate sherwood could have done a better job and that motherfucker speaks his own verison of english.

you know Dinner has been begging nigel to get on dance and you know he keeps dangling it over Dinners head. just giving him more chores to do around the skatepark and as his butler, Dinner thinking hes gonna turn dance into a brand people actually buy.
and then the plan B announcement goes up on IG and Dinner just acts like hes happy for em.

I bet Nyjah is going to make his own boards under his name like how Chris Cole did
Cookie to Worble would make a lot of sense
Could see Domo on krooked

I admit I bought a couple of Element soft-goods just for the nostalgia factor, like how I ironically wear GAP hoodies, I have a Element truck hat & a cotton belt just because it make wonders to fit properly my jeans.
Sad but true, Element is leaving the international program behind, the Element team here is gone, it was fun while it last !

Using the olympics for any form of advertising is highly restricted so it probably wouldn't be worth it. Although I guess having all the tiny kids and their baseball dads' new favourite skaters on the same team might be useful

Those three dudes have probably all gotten better offers over the last couple years and maybe their contracts just all expired and they were ready to dip out.

Between his contest announcing, sucking Jason Lee’s dick and reposting the same shitty slappy clips 5 times each, Pastras is one of the most cringe things in skateboarding.

W0RBLE is their crew name (they're all from Vermont/NH) and recently they turned it into a board brand, Pyramid Country is a crew out of Arizona that is totally unrelated (though they did a collab thing this summer)

Totally agree
He is kinda jinxed cos his high level skating is only par to his high level of douchery.
The mega douche teams like pizza generally don't have mega skilled skaters.

Holy shit so the brand that Jagger Eaton is pro for is a Bam Margera Element knock off brand? This is too rich.
-
i fucking hate bam margera these days. i can hear his ego saying lets print all these boards and make these thousand of dollars as i used to even though i havent done anything relevant in a bit.
what does a bam margera know about skating in 2021? element probably wasnt going to make another run of boards for him so he stole all of their designs because he feels like they owe him something.
nyjah is going to either make a own company with the worst board graphics ever or is going to join plan b i believe

This brand is actually owned by Johnny Schilliref or whatever that bozo is called. He started it after Element annexed him from making any decisions at the company. So he started this brand and made the world's worst logo....
Also, Nyjah is starting his own board brand.

For real. But I don't think Cookie fits Krooked at all. Krooked have been hitting all their picks recently with the new kids, and I hope they continue to go down that path. Obviously Ray Barbee is a no brainer. Krooked don't need Cookie.

I think the idea is that Primitive kind of has an "elite"/ jock skater vibe and is doing well right now, so Nyjah would fit with their aesthetic and they'd be able to pay what he's looking for. I feel like April may be a less-likely scenario because they probably wouldn't be able to pay as much (though I do think it's a possibility). I'd put money on Nigel landing on Primitive out of any existing board company. REAL might also be a sleeper landing spot.

Glad Elements team is shrinking, it was way too big and made no sense how they had so many people but nobody really rode them. Guess those Star Wars decks must make them hella money.
Bet Element is pissed the Olympics got pushed back and they can't cash in on Nyjah being a gold medalist.

I can honestly say I have never seen a nyjah nike out in the wild, I wonder how many shoes he actually sells. Doubt nike would drop him before olympics but have I talked about him being of nike before as a possibility. He's great exposure but wondering if the numbers add up.

The Nike brand is worth something like $35 billion. Even if his numbers don't add up on shoe sales they are going to keep #1 US skateboarder in the olympics.

Oh no I completely agree on that. You can bet the house he'll be on nike for the olympos but after? Can't really see him on anything other than nike (mainly because of the $$$) but who knows. Maybe he's set the bar too high for himself and we see Nyjicarus, the skater that skated too close to the $un

I’d love to see nyjah on zero, only to imagine the arguments between him and jt over pants.
Imagine those dueling out of touch arguments. Only for neither of them to realize that baggy is the pant trend to jump on for clout currently. Maybe they'll get lucky in 2022 when shit moves on from 93, but I doubt it.

Nyjah to Plan B makes sense.
Could see Coookie on Krooked, Uma Landsled, or Worble (seems like they do their own one-off boards occasionally) in the meantime until he gets on something else.
Domo, I have no idea. I don't follow him. Could see flow for Primitive/April or something with Maxallure.

Why are people so convinced that Nike wants to make hardgoods? What’s the business sense behind it - The margins from it would be dogshit compared to what they already make from shoes and clothing. The board companies that make the most money are the ones that also sell the most clothing (FA, Polar, Palace, Anti-Hero), since they already got an SB apparel line then what’s the point?
Nike doesn’t even have the best selling basketball (Wilson does), and their golf balls are literally some other brand they just paint a swoosh on. If they aren’t investing in the hardgoods of those markets (especially hoops) why the hell would they invest in skateboarding like that?
I know this is Slap, but we’re smarter than this. At most you will see cheap completes that are sold in international markets that lack skateshops like China or India, but I even doubt that.

Doubt that Nike would be interested in making hardgoods, for the reasons stated above.
Didn't Nike quit their golf program at large, stopped making clubs etc. They just make golf shoes and clothing. They got out of snowboarding a few years ago (as did Adidas last year). Same thing with hockey skates and equipment. I seems like they are not engaging in anything outside their core business, which is clothing and shoes.

Did they not notice Ray left?

nike is never gonna make hardgoods, they could make billions producing other stuff, which is all they care about. the only thing they'd do is license the swoosh to put on chinese hardwear. they will make zero money making skateboard components and they know this. i'd rather think they cut the sb program and all riders and have some models release under regular nike, basically killing their skateprogram, since their goal is to sell their shoes to hypebeasts and as many regular people as possible anyway. making hardgoods is a pure waste of resources for them.

Part of the appeal of said shoes is the SB branding. It allows non-skaters to vicariously feel like they're a part of the (sub)culture. No way in hell they are going to get rid of the SB branding. None of those goofy dunk colorways (or even those Sperry-looking Janoskis) would sell if they were not marketed and sold as skateboarding footwear.

Y’all are probably right. I’m just deeply distrustful of Nike. I could see them coming up with an evil plan to wipe out competitors and finally raise the price of decks when they own the market. Too much punk rock, corporate hate indoctrination for me to see that it’s not worth their time. Just let me believe they’re evil, ok?

It does amaze me how trustful a lot of people are of Nike who must be (maybe willfully) ignorant of how aggressive huge corporations can be in their business strategies. Nike don't own such a huge share of the skate shoe market just because they make good shoes and sponsor people's favourite skaters. Saying that though I'm not sure they'd have the same success taking over the deck market purely because they'd have no advantage with their products. Their decks would be identical to everyone else's so they'd have to either
A) come up with some new wonder tech, but they don't have any experience in that field like they did with shoes
B) undercut the competition massively for years until other deck companies dried up, but there probably aren't the margins to do this.
Neither of these things would really be worth it unless they decide that decks are a strong enough advertising tool, although everyone on the company would already be on Nike SB so it doesn't spread awareness much more.

I miss Kroger. Haven't had Kroger around me since 1986 I think. Used to buy hella 3 Musketeers in that MF.
The building still stands and exterior is the same, but it is one of those outdoorsy North Face, Patagonia, Columbia stores now. I'm a big fan of Patagonia, but every time I go in there, I get asked questions that come across to me like "r u sure u can afford Patagonia brah? Our clearance section is over here". Most likely me being paranoid, but I don't see them hounding other customers like that. Which usually sends me into a purchase-cheaper-online tizzy

Well Hypebeasts wore Nike SB before skaters did. Skaters didn’t wear nikes like that until the late 2000s when vulcanized shoes became a trend, because people started skating more transition. The Blazer, Bruin and eventually the Janowski were the highest quality version of that type of shoe so that’s when you started seeing the takeover.
I’m not sure if they would cut the program, but don’t expect to see that many new pro shoes in the future. They have a pro shoe to accommodate for every major style of skating at this point.

Unfortunately, I know the ins and outs of these three leaving, and I'm here to spill the beans 8)
-Nyjah's agent asked Element to build a sub-brand like Nike/Jordan. They told Element Nyjah was building his own company, which ended up not being true, and zero logistics were set up on Nyjah's side. Not linked to Faze Clan . He got a contract offer he didn't sign (Not sure if that's true or not) for the same money and more.
-Looks like Cookie was offered a higher pro salary and an artist contract to support him financially beyond his pro $. No idea the amount but was good from I have been told. A local store saw the collection he "co-designed". No idea if it was good or not.
-Dominick was offered a pro deal before '21 summer. Seems like he turned down an Axion contract and has been focused on modeling the Drew line. He asked for way more money even when he has no other sponsor in place.
Not defending Element's side, but let's do not forget there is much more to the story than an Instagram post :-)

This is the next logical step. He doesn’t make sense on any other brand, and has enough people hanging on his every move to support the brands. I wonder how bad the first release it gonna look. Probably on some berries brand level.
Nyjah should change everything to an umbrella brand called Abortion. Because that is exactly what is about to happen here.

Your super edgy joke would have worked better if you linked it to Plan B. It still would have sucked, but at least made some sense

He’s got enough money to try this for a year then take a huge pay cut to get on plan b and “not have to be calling shops about orders you know?? Just back on my board sending it with the homies. Shout out to my butler Dinner.” As if he was running this out from of his under a bank ramp like Dance.
Then Crob says “right right you just wanna be out sending it with the homies I get it bro. We get it bro. And shout out to Dinner man.” As if he was finishing the sentence for him
Does David loy skate or does he just quote Bieber rape passed out girls and eat fake pills? How the fuck has that kid managed to coast for so long while looking like a 2021 Ali G but gone wrong and it’s not a joke.

Nyjah's not going to be doing that anyways. This isn't a 'Trapasso running a company out of his own garage' situation, Nyjah would obviously be paying people to do all the real work here so he's free to live his playboy lifestyle uninterrupted.

DISORDER SKATEBOARDS sounds like a complete skateboard you find in a big box store. At this point, I assume Nyjah is completely surrounded by sycophantic yes men and con artists who are eager to tell him what a bright future he has with his three new skateboard brands, so long as he hires their cousin's consulting company for $389,000 a quarter

Things are about to get real weird. Nigel's lifestyle requires a lot of cash flow, he's in some golden handcuffs. No Nike or Element checks means he will burn through his savings fast if he doesn't dramatically change his spending habits. And it doesn't look like he has trustworthy people around him who can say things he doesn't want to hear. P-Rod and Herman are great examples of people who made good long-term financial decisions that did or will allow them to transition away from the spotlight. Nigel lives like he's going to be rich forever, and he's in deep trouble.

A) Since when are the Nike checks stopping? He’s going to be on Nike for as long as they have a skateboarding team
B) He has a zillion other sponsors (how many millions does Monster pay him to wear that hat?), and I would wager that his board sponsor was one of the ones that paid the least
C) How do you know he hasn’t invested his money?
To be clear, I still think he’s another rich rube who is about to get conned out of a bunch of money on his skate company no one wants, but I hardly think this marks the end of Nyjah

Not surprisingly, none of his new ventures will produce pants.

A) He's off Nike. Reps are calling shops and recalling his shoes without explanation. That's over.
B) It's likely all of his deals have a character clause where if he does something that puts the company in a bad light, they can release him from his contract without any financial obligation. And if Nike smells a situation they want to avoid, expect his other large corporate sponsors to do the same. There are plenty of people that will wear a monster hat that don't have credible allegations of rape.
C) He drives a Lamborghini and lives in a cocaine-mania styled mansion. He throws giant parties and has an army of sycophants. I haven't seen his bank account...but does that sound like someone who planned for the future?

hollly shit nyjah is gonna go from Element and Nike to Disorder and Cariuma or some shit like that
love to see it

You’re going to have to provide evidence that he is no longer on Nike. He still has a page on their website, lists Nike as a sponsor on his Instagram, and Nike SB’s page still has plenty of Nyjah clips. I see no evidence that they have severed ties

I have been hearing that Nike is cutting pro skateboarding since 2008. Unless Nyjah is facing some major allegations, supported by evidence, I think it’s incredibly unlikely that they are dropping their star athlete who everyone assumes is going to win Olympic Gold in six months

I read at least one tweet yesterday saying Nike has been calling shops to tell them to send back the Nyjah shoes. I have no idea if it's true, but can anyone confirm that by checking their local shop? Don't call and ask them to corroborate a rumor from Slap, but maybe check their inventory and see if they have Nyjahs in stock. If you know they had the shoes in stock yesterday, and they're gone today; that may give us some insight. Also, are they still up on Nike.com? I automatically get routed to the Nike Canada site if I check that. The Nyjah shoes are still in stock there (though only in one colourway and on clearance), but Canada tends to be behind on pretty much everything, so I put no stock in that either way.
Edit: Checked on some American shops on my own. Nyjah's Nikes are currently in stock in the online stores for CCS, Tactics, Zumiez, SPoT, Labor, Seasons, Black Sheep, Nocturnal, 35th North, and Bluetile. Only shop I checked that sells Nikes but doesn't have the Nyjahs in stock was Skate Warehouse, and I have no idea if they had them in stock previously. If Nike is calling stores to send back the Nyjah shoes, they've missed a lot of shops.

Nyjahs shoe actually sells really well believe it or not. It looks like a running shoe so it sells really well to non skaters and little kids that parents have disposable income. As far as the board brand he has a huge following so I think it will do somewhat decent. Numbers is different bc kids don’t care about Guy and Eric. But disorder skateboards is definitely up there for worst board company name in modern day skating. Kids love this cornball more than I hate him.

A) Since when are the Nike checks stopping? He’s going to be on Nike for as long as they have a skateboarding team
B) He has a zillion other sponsors (how many millions does Monster pay him to wear that hat?), and I would wager that his board sponsor was one of the ones that paid the least
C) How do you know he hasn’t invested his money?
To be clear, I still think he’s another rich rube who is about to get conned out of a bunch of money on his skate company no one wants, but I hardly think this marks the end of Nyjah
A) He's off Nike. Reps are calling shops and recalling his shoes without explanation. That's over.
B) It's likely all of his deals have a character clause where if he does something that puts the company in a bad light, they can release him from his contract without any financial obligation. And if Nike smells a situation they want to avoid, expect his other large corporate sponsors to do the same. There are plenty of people that will wear a monster hat that don't have credible allegations of rape.
C) He drives a Lamborghini and lives in a cocaine-mania styled mansion. He throws giant parties and has an army of sycophants. I haven't seen his bank account...but does that sound like someone who planned for the future?

In this case, being an American Gold Medal contender means the most. A ridiculous amount of free coverage comes from that. While, I do think nationality in terms of marketing in skateboarding is generally bullshit, when it comes to mainstream coverage in the United States, an American winning a gold medal is insanely valued by a company like Nike or Adidas. An American on Nike winning gold is likely more valued by them than anyone else on the team winning even if they have contenders from Brazil, Australia and Japan. Obviously though, Nyjah winning in Nike than all these rumors being substantiated with him on Nike is a massive PR nightmare.

Nyjah is closer to Daryl Angel on the Nike corporate radar than Kobe. NikeSB is a trendy department that makes a ton of hypebeasts who don't really care about Nyjah, and a ton of different skaters who will stay a fan of Nike Nyjah or not. Kobe was their Jordan replacement. Nyjah is their P-Rod replacement.

Nyjah's demographic isn't the 30+ crowd. It's kids with the 25+ scenester crowd that he hangs out with. If his brand is done correctly it'll do well, I think people are underestimating his selling power.

Why don't they just put them in a bubble like the NBA did? Have them take a test maybe a month or so beforehand, fly them out to Japan, and stay bubbled until the end? I know this is a way bigger scale than the NBA but it's possible.

I don't know how you do a bubble with something as complicated as the Olympics. Thousands of athletes from all over the world? Do you know how much sex they have in Olympic Village? Nyjah goes super spreader every opportunity he gets. David Loy probably caught COVID twice. Sinner three times. Arf.

there was really no need to insult p-rod, damn. although he is partly responsible for opening the floodgates of "selling out," he has at least shown some class over the years as opposed to nyjah. when i read that p-rod had no intention of ever being in the olympics for skating, it almost renewed my faith in humanity. plus, like you said, nyjah is closer to daryl angel on the nike radar.

Hopefully the Olympics are no more? I remember seeing a documentary where they were reporting that Barcelona '92 was the last event that actually brought positivity to the city (see all the spots) but take Athens for example and it has been just prepped up for the events and left there.
We used to do a fair in an Olympics stadium there and it looks like a high school gym from the 80's.
Olympics are a money scam regardless.

To your point, the could just do it at various training facilities around the host country and spread out the events over the course of a year so you aren't having to house thousands of people all at the same time.

It has been demonstrated again and again that the Olympics (like all state subsidized sports) are a huge net loss for the host cities and countries. It’s a gigantic scam, one of the largest ever pulled, and now we are at a point where cities are no longer even vying for the rights to host them. I don’t think that a single *qualified* city volunteered to host the 22 Winter Olympics, although they eventually got it figured out

i truly hope that you are right. in my opinion, any and every host city seems to get overrun by all the bullshit and shitty behavior from attendees whenever the olympics come into town. i feel that most of the attendees, for the most part, do not respect the culture of the hosting cities. sure, the influx of foreigners may help the local economy in the short term, but is it really worth it?

It's probably a big loss a the time but there have been studies showing that (https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/olympic-games-tourism-legacy/index.html#:~:text=Barcelona%20arrived%20squarely%20on%20the,there%20were%20over%208%20million.) the economic boost can last decades. You're probably still right though. Per my point though Japan has sunk $25 billion dollars into it at this point, they need that tourism to make anything back so I'd guess it's either cancel the games and get some huge insurance payout (if that's possible) or try and reschedule. I heard they're trying to get in as the hosts for 2032.

Unfortunately, I know the ins and outs of these three leaving, and I'm here to spill the beans 8)
-Nyjah's agent asked Element to build a sub-brand like Nike/Jordan. They told Element Nyjah was building his own company, which ended up not being true, and zero logistics were set up on Nyjah's side. Not linked to Faze Clan . He got a contract offer he didn't sign (Not sure if that's true or not) for the same money and more.
-Looks like Cookie was offered a higher pro salary and an artist contract to support him financially beyond his pro $. No idea the amount but was good from I have been told. A local store saw the collection he "co-designed". No idea if it was good or not.
-Dominick was offered a pro deal before '21 summer. Seems like he turned down an Axion contract and has been focused on modeling the Drew line. He asked for way more money even when he has no other sponsor in place.
Not defending Element's side, but let's do not forget there is much more to the story than an Instagram post :-)
wow, thanks element tm
I wish, I would have fired everyone last year and get Muska, TK and Vallely back.

Both companies have awful design
Nah that Hockey graphic is sick. Definitely the first thing I thought of when I saw the Disorder graphic, which is a shitty knockoff version of it.

Just got an email from Nike asking to return all of Nyjah' shoes. of Nike as well?
Might have nothing to do with him leaving the team, though.
Could be as simple as a product recall. My guess is that Uighur slaves were sneaking “Send Help!” messages into the Nyjah models by slipping tiny paper notes between the insole & footbed.
I don’t know.
I heard Axion is recruiting. ;)

is this disorder stuff really nigels brand?
i honestly like the colors, logo and art direction.
would be a shame if i can´t wear it because of him.

Can anyone tell who this is? Maybe first team rider??

theres a rumor going around that the olympics have been cancelled and it just hasn't been announced yet. putting my tinfoil hat on, imma say nike knows that and is making the calculated assessment that ninejahs stock is going to bust soon
https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/japan-govt-has-privately-concluded-tokyo-olympics-will-have-to-be-cancelled-because-of-coronavirus-the-times-citing-senior-ruling-coalition-member-20210122-p56w3i.html
confirmed
The olympics is a tourism investment. It costs like $15bn dollars to host and they bring that money back through economic spending over the course of the event and in years afterwards. I doubt Japan want to even bother if they can't have anyone watch it
It has been demonstrated again and again that the Olympics (like all state subsidized sports) are a huge net loss for the host cities and countries. It’s a gigantic scam, one of the largest ever pulled, and now we are at a point where cities are no longer even vying for the rights to host them. I don’t think that a single *qualified* city volunteered to host the 22 Winter Olympics, although they eventually got it figured out
It's probably a big loss a the time but there have been studies showing that (https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/olympic-games-tourism-legacy/index.html#:~:text=Barcelona%20arrived%20squarely%20on%20the,there%20were%20over%208%20million.) the economic boost can last decades. You're probably still right though. Per my point though Japan has sunk $25 billion dollars into it at this point, they need that tourism to make anything back so I'd guess it's either cancel the games and get some huge insurance payout (if that's possible) or try and reschedule. I heard they're trying to get in as the hosts for 2032.
what studies? i thought after rio everyone was reporting that the benefits the olympics brought to your country (tourist, dollars, national pride) was just bullshit peddled by the IOC to get people to want the Olympics and the real effects are having spend lavishly to meet IOC demands will siphon money away from services that citizens need particularly as costs grow in the time crunch. This why recently there has been a precipitous drop in the amount of nations competing to get the olympics and often a concerted effort from the citizens of the host cities to fight those gunning for it. They did an unprecedented double announcement when they named Paris(?) and LA as the next Summer host cities because they wanted to secure the money before public sentiment cratered.

a quick research shows that it is definitely a french brand. even the (nonexisting) website they link to on their social profiles ends in .fr
so it will have nothing to do with nijah.
i wish them luck on their endevour and hope they will make some nice product and back it up with good skating. like i said before, the art direction is solid in my opinion.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but I was under the impression that it was common knowledge the Olympic committee or whatever it’s called who run the Olympics acts like a giant corporation and exists just for profit. There is massive corruption within the organisation itself and between the competing countries. It’s just a huge money grab and exploration of world class athletes that get zero pay (unless they have sponsors - which I don’t think counts considering the money being made off them is so huge).

Based on your lack of understanding of the function of the UWTB board, I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and presume that your post count accurately reflects your experience on the SLAP boards, even though you are just as likely to be the reborn specter of some previously banned user.

SO Nyjah's shoe is off the Nike UK and Canada site and only available in size 4 and 4.5 on the US site? I'm really interested in these, so far unconfirmed, calls and emails from Nike to pull back their stock in stores. Could be a new shoe coming?

I was at the local Nike outlet on Saturday and it was a little flooded with Nyjah shoes. It was the only SB they had in the offerings. Marked down to $39.99.

I had seafood last night which tends to give me loose poops the next day.
So I’m sitting on toilet right.... shooting out some gravy sauce.
My cat barges into the bathroom cuz I didn’t shut the door all the way (no ones home)
Cat starts vomiting right next to me. So I’m looking between my legs at all this loose poop while right in front of me is a huge pile of cat vomit.
And all I can think is “this looks better than nyjahs new brand”. Haven’t even seen the brand yet
-
Well the supposed name of his clothing brand is Piles so you talking about stuff coming out of your ass is pretty much spot on.

Bro I was just about to say that!
My mate pointed it out to me but yeah google piles and it’s the first thing that comes up hahaha

Esteemed user, please be advised that I will not so much as stub my toe, let alone come to mortal grief upon the Nyjah hill you reference. His skating and social life hold very little interest for me.
I never rode that train to Ginoville, but I would probably prefer to watch him push, rather than sit through one of Nyjah’s rail-swallowing contest runs.
Now, an astute reader such as yourself will have no doubt picked up on the omission of any mention of rape allegations in my comment, as THAT is certainly a hill I don’t even wish to picnic in the vicinity of, for obvious reasons, never mind meeting my demise there upon.
If there is a positive side to this entire departure from his sponsors, perhaps it is that Element will be one step further removed from the starry eyes of idol worshipping children, and that Nyjah may fade into partying obscurity until he’s forced to launch GoFundMe campaigns to pay for his fancy lifestyle.
All this is to say, dear user, that unless you are a funeral director, we have no business to discuss with regards to my death.
Good day, sir.

Nyjah has to be on that 10 shoe contract just like Kobe, just like P-Rod. They’re probably limiting his shoe because the nyjah 3 is about to come out. This time last year they switched from the nyjah to the nyjah 2.0 or whatever they call it. I bet every year for the next 8 years there will be a newer even grosser than before nyjah shoe come out for all the little tiny model coke girls and zombie ravers to wear whenever they want to over dose on self inflating Instagram stories

Aye, don’t forget about King Shark, who likes to pair Nyjahs with (ahem) tasteful, gold plated ankle chains.

This isn't a bad idea at all hahaha. In the end Nike cares about selling shoes and Nyjah is capturing the exact market you're talking about. Its not like they care about skating/skateboarders anyway, that's evident by what's going on with Dunks currently.
He's very much still on Nike and going nowhere. What a dumb rumor that doesn't make any sense at all.
-
It’s honestly great marketing cause anyone who buys a nyjah shoe is probably a tad bit superficial and materialistic which will likely lead them to post a photo of the shoe when they buy it so boom there you go more advertising more people seeing the shoe more people considering buying it. Fuck itt the Nyjah 3 better have a stash spot that comes with Molly already stocked in it, turn up or let’s fucking go or send it or whatever people are saying at parties now
-
Pretty sure the story was that Nigel signed a 5 year contract in 2015 so that woulda been up last year sometime. I never heard anything about extensions but I could imagine they would want to hold onto him at least through the Olympics. Now that that's not happening, and with the heavy allegations out there, it sorta looks like it could be over.
I've been hoping Cookie goes to Worble full time since at least Peace. He's still on NB (and Mountian Dew?) and presumably that's where he gets most of his money so now would be the right time for a move like that.

Nike isn’t signing contracts rn. Which is what happened with Gino. And that’s why Kader isn’t on yet. Nyjah isn’t going anywhere. If the whole contest shit in skating goes to shit then he’ll just start skating in the streets more. The allegations have been around since before he got on Nike so unless solid evidence comes out he’s gonna have a long career.

her: are you a fan?
Me: no, not really.
Her: Do you know who Chima Ferguson is?
Me: Yeah, he skates for Real (digresses into a conversation about when I worked in skating)
Her: Oh, he seems to have a lot of allegations about Nyjah and rape.
Me: no ones been able to make anything stick, so idk, maybe there isnt real compelling evidence or something.
So idk, maybe it's spreading even more if non-skating normies are talking about it. I think she just ran across some shared shit on instagram.

Yeah this makes the most sense. He aint jumping ship to Adidas or anywhere else because surely they're not signing contracts either.
I feel bad for Domo. I read the Thrasher interview where Element says they're turning him pro. Now his pro part is going to be a footage dump. Maybe that's what he gets hanging out Nigel his whole career and not finding his own place to shine. Either way i feel for the kid
Cookie should go to Enjoi or Krooked and deserves to be full on NB. He should be getting all the shine. Fuck maybe he's perfect for Grimple?

This. And if budgets were an issue, Nike would likely cut other people, rather than their golden boy. Nigel wins the most contests, therefor in Nikes eyes he’s the best and must be on their team.

If the whole contest shit in skating goes to shit then he’ll just start skating in the streets more. The allegations have been around since before he got on Nike so unless solid evidence comes out he’s gonna have a long career.
Yeah, as much as people hate him for being on Street League most of his time he's still really gnarly skating street, and not just that, but gnarly for todays ridiculous standards.

If the rumors are true and Nyjah is of Nike, and the shoes are $35 at Nordstrom Rack - you best believe I’ll be skating Nyjahs for a while
my friend just went to the Zumiez warehouse sale and picked up 4 pairs of Nyjah 2's for $35 each, some of the same colors that are in zumiez stores currently. Kind of weird considering this shoe is still fairly new.
Kind of a random observation but just wanted to leave this here for y'all
They had janoskis at my nike clearance store for $30, meanwhile my local shop is still charging full price for the same colorways >:(
Because your local still needs to survive and they’re not getting a whole sale bundle deal like the Nike clearance store is. Just go buy some sale shoes from your local, nerd
-
Well Nike should at least update his profile to just Monster. He has no other sponsors right?

Nyjah has to be on that 10 shoe contract just like Kobe, just like P-Rod. They’re probably limiting his shoe because the nyjah 3 is about to come out. This time last year they switched from the nyjah to the nyjah 2.0 or whatever they call it. I bet every year for the next 8 years there will be a newer even grosser than before nyjah shoe come out for all the little tiny model coke girls and zombie ravers to wear whenever they want to over dose on self inflating Instagram stories
Gotta look proper while pretending to be the Santa Ana skatepark enforcer, don’tcha know.

Is there even any evidence of the Olympics not going ahead? I've seen articles saying at the moment are going ahead.

afaik, theyre pretty much holding on to it (https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/21/asia/tokyo-olympics-coronavirus-intl-hnk/index.html):
"Reports of this summer's Tokyo Olympic Games being canceled due to Covid-19 are "categorically untrue", the International Olympic Committee said in a statement to CNN on Friday."
-
Most of Japan don't want it and they haven't started vaccine roll out yet there either. UK Olympic teams are being coached and mentally prepared for it to not happen.
This place has loads of info: https://www.insidethegames.biz/
and the Athlete's are kind of split on it too. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1103414/stefanidi-supportive-of-tokyo-2020 but IOC seems adamant that it will go ahead.
QUOTE "Organizers have insisted the Games will go ahead, with IOC President Thomas Bach claiming last week that there was "no reason whatsoever" for the Olympics not to open on July 23 and there was no "Plan B"."
If it happens it will be so lack luster as no one will be in peak condition and I foresea athletes just "going through the motions" and drifting through the games. No one is going to perform at top level or bother trying to beat records.
-

Not ignored, just unaware of the abuse. I knew he had a overeager skate dad who tried to profit off his son’s career, but unaware of anything outside of the “greedy parent of a talented child” mold. Mea maxima culpa
-
So is Nyjah the Tiger Woods of skateboarding? I didn't know too much about his upbringing besides him being a ripper at a very very young age.

Like, full on abuse?
-
Nike will just back Nyjah's brand...if they actually pick up riders; Dude costs too much for most (all) teams to afford...he's been riding Thunders forever (since Silver) but he's not sponsored by them...and unless Ricta pays him well, he might just like the wheels? Nike, Mountain Dew, Monster Energy and Doritos...sure he gets damn good checks from those groups...plus those winnings.

His dad full on controlled his young skate path and pushed him to do shit,he didn't know any better until later. IDK if there was physical abuse,but mentally he was abused and that obviously affected dude. All that SEND IT shit is definitely defiance from his youth.

lmao stop it people the kid just had an annoying skatecoach dad. whose kid happened to be1 nyjah. so instead of keeping it core so the type of people that come on slap would stay happy, he tried capitalizing off his kid. like literally any other kooky skatcoach dad.

Basically his parents had a skatepark and his dad had a vision for his skateboarding, I&I along with vegan everything was all his dad ..he didn't get a taste of freedom until like 16
Ffwd and he's actually successful, call it what you will
His dad hooked up with Element and never looked back

I don't think it qualifies as abuse, but he sure had a alternative upbringing that turned really sour in the end. I mean even Nyjah says he's grateful for what his dad did, he's more like a home schooled kid that didn't learn how to deal with freedom properly than a Michael Jackson case.

He was actually kicked off and they pretty much publicly stated it was cuz his dad sucked, and once he got away from his dad he could be back on the team. It might've been the old Element team guy that killed himself, was that Dewitt or am I getting my Element dudes confused

It'd make sense with Ridiculousness about to enter it's 10th year and it being almost the only show on MTV it seems. I don't think he is though.
Why would Nyjah decide to start a new board company while we're in the middle of a pandemic? Unless he immediately sells it out and does novelty graphics with Marvel or something I don't see how it'd turn a profit any time soon.

Dyrdek has no sponsors at all. He has like 2 years left of the MTV show and then he said he's totally bowing out of the public spotlight

that is demonstrably untrue. any company that talks about donating money should be 100% upfront about the quantity and location of where it went. Look at 1% for the planet. https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org/about

Should be up front? Sure, I agree, I'm just saying the actuality of that is far from 100%. I'm sure you'll find a lot of examples that prove your point and I'm sure there's one to two that are intentionally vague for every one you find. There's also a difference between a foundation that's designed to raise money to do good things with and a for profit company that gives a little away every now and then.
I'm not saying Heart Supply isn't wack, they definitely are, but just because they don't have a breakdown of what they give away doesn't mean they're not doing it. Doesn't mean they ARE doing it either, for devil's advocacy.
