It seems like Tyshawn is a strong contender for SOTY this year. Rumor has it he has a lot of footage dropping, and after the cover it looks like he’s been saving his presence for this moment.
Thoughts?
-
You really joined slap just to post that?
My vote’s for Louie. Been on a tear all year and such a pleasure to watch.
Tyshawn rips obviously but every time I see him, I’m too distracted because he just gives off an impression that he’s too good for anyone. Granted I don’t know the guy but that’s just what I get from watching his skating.

idk im not one to enjoy that kind of personality, but how could you not when you skate like this. dude recorded his will for this cover, no one else is doing this shit.

amen

Tyshawn already snaked a fucking win from Evan Smith. That was the biggest steaming pile of shit ever to me. Evan's MVP performance on KotR was legendary and enough to take it alone.

Agreed. I get that vibe people don't like but seriously this talent is just too insane and justifies all of it even if true. Besides the cover, that nollie flip straight over that bump to bar already fucked me up

He's too good for anyone thats why he hosts one man demos in his neighborhood and hand serves food his momma made to the general public. The man is American icon / celebrity status. An honest to god Superstar.
Louie is Louie. Pleasurable to watch suburban Flip grom.

I got you with another 1st post, good man of multiple posts. My vote would be Bobby D but I don't relate to the Thrasher youtube channel at all anymore. I find Tyshawn's footy quarter way rewatchable which puts him above most pros now a days.

Then great skateboarding in coming ! Louie with the last part with the Paris grind from thrasher cover, and DeBobby with crazy Toronto footy (now he has hair, the Bobby part that came out must be old footies, you can see the old bastille spot too)

the reference was to ‘btk’, you’re right though. regardless, it seems like ‘debobby’ is here to stay. which i think is perfect. also.. i just read louie lopez called by his formal name on here which we all now know he has since changed. he is now known as ‘lou lopes”. have some respect you guys.

Dan Corrigan still has another part to drop by the end of the year so don't hold your breath buddy.

The underdog with an over bite is coming for you Tyshawn, be scared.

I’d rather watch Ronson Lambert than Tyshawn.
His stiff legs spark no joy.
-
Not a chance. Gall will have some more stuff out
-
People that don’t like his “attitude” are most likely the quiet white kids in the corner of the park doing slappies. Big personalities scare them.
The American icon shit rings true. Kid is sober, been shredding since a fetus and not on a Woodward kid tip, he’s a business man, unique style, puts on for his neighborhood. I love Louie but you can see he’s going back to his 15 year old lip slide big flip stage.

Man. gtfohwtbs! lol Tyshawn is done. * That is a dope cover tho.

Had exactly this type of kid get weirdly aggressive about Tyshawn when I said to some friends that he was an incredibly gifted athlete who would probably excel at any sport he chose. It was actually super uncomfortable at the time; everyone was weirded out because I feel this is an incredibly obvious and banal observation.
-
Tyshawn going for the double - this isn’t basketball son. Move the fuck along with your precision
Hype generation….
Louie please! Skates like he is actually feeling something.

I feel like SLAP is the sort of place that would get behind a genuine, confident, self possessed character.
Some of these haters got me wondering, though.
Anyway, it’s not going to be TJ.
If it’ll be anybody other than Louie, it’s gonna be that rascally red head, Funkhoser.
TJ, Gustav, DeBobby, even Fredrick, ALL legit choices, but LLs been on a tear for so long now.
Plus, when I asked my Magic 8-Ball if Lou was gonna take SOTY this year, it responded w/ “signs point to yes.”
A roll of the D20 also confirmed this.
Two excellent sources.
Seems pretty settled to me.

Yeah he is an amazing skater to watch, but every time he opens his mouth he just spews out arrogance, even on photos he looks like he wants to be some where else and always looking arrogant. It's Lopez year I think.
Reads like parody.
-
fuck no dudes style is so fake and forced
-
So many people reaching to hate on TJ and I just don’t get it. If he drops a part that has a his two Thrasher covers in in, give him the trophy IMO.
I guess we have LL cover to look forward to as well, but again, just my opinion, LL isn’t touching TJ.

So controversial view. To me soty is someone that pops up all over the place, skating everything, , travelling, blasting and inspiring all over. Living skateboarding It's not just about 1 trick, one flash. It's "of the year"...
So to me as fucking rad as he is tyshawn does not fit that description, he didn't really exceed those expectations last time he won and without sounding disrespectful, did you see the year Evan had that year?. This year maybe I don't know but it should be someone that's been blowing minds on all terrain, popping up everywhere... All year long. Sorry!
-
The year Evan voluntarily ate his own dingleberries in the back of a van in Oklahoma and then spazzed around the globe doing kickflip to wallrides like a scarecrow on acid?
I look at the SoTY as someone who put a timestamp on skateboarding, made there mark in whatever way. 5 years from now when someone looks back at where skateboarding was at they will think of TJ's subway kickflip and not Louie's same ollie over chain link fence that Steve Nesser did back in 94
-
I don’t care who’s SOTY but it seem quaranteed there’s a new Tyshawn part about to drop and I’m so stoked to see it.
-
Didnt Evan Smith refuse to get SOTY that year? I think i remember something like that.
Tyshawn is an incredible skater

no, this is one of those things that people more or less made up to disparage TJ:
1. andrew reynolds posts something incredibly vague to his instagram story around this time of the year 2018, like “imagine turning down SOTY! 🤯”
2. evan smith and tyshawn emerge as the two front runners for the award that year
3. when tyshawn wins, everyone who believes this rumor starts claiming that it’s only because evan turned down SOTY and not, you know, the merit of his skating
pretty sure evan’s even said in an interview “no, of course i didn’t turn down soty, why would i do that?” but here we are

After re-watching his Blessed part last night I realized Tyshawn is better at skating rails then Mason, Louie, Bobby DK and Marc Zuc combined. Quietly maybe one of the best rail skaters out there right now. That backside tailslide on the green rail that Berle almost nosegrind kf'd is some godlike shit, he's going full speed and slides it from the top. Can't wait to see what Tyshawn is cooking up.

Just cuz he bs tailed some tall rail doesn't mean he's a better rail skater than Mason, let alone those 4 dudes combined. Mason's trick on that rail is just as gnarly if not gnarlier and is one of the many fucked up rail tricks in his spitfire part. He's nowhere near one of the best "rail skaters" out right now, that's just silly. It was a sick bs tail though.
-
I'm struggling to remember what Mason did on it, surely better than the nosegrind kf attempts though. I guess I was just blown away re-watching TJ's Blessed and remembering he switch back lip straight over that NYC rail with the curb in front, cab back lip a huge rail, switch back 3 lip. People are on here trying to pretend he's a flatground skater only when he clearly can do whatever on monster rails (and is not even known as a rail skater)
-
t funk is getting soty
-
nose grind flip out is way crazier than a back tail... especially on a handrail. tyshawn could probably back tail flip out on it which would be even crazier though. he probably got that back tail first try.
i will say i think that rail is close to ideal steepness for a flip out.

I don't understand how he gets so much pop out of those scrawny ass legs. Same with Lou lopes. Wish they'd both stop skating in shorts. Its distracting and they look like they're twelve

Tyshawn is insane but what else has he done this year other than the train gap? Just wanna see what I’ve missed
-
You must not have a thrasher scrip. He tre flipped over the rail into the death bank at china banks in a thrasher contents page. In the last thrasher he tre flipped that gap to rail in NYC that rad cromer kickflipped for the cover of transworld many moons ago. He also nollie flipped that bump to bar on insta. All so fucked

I got nothing, at least no one that has a fighting chance at it.
Let’s see here… I think Arron herrington’s part in the new polar video is the most enjoyable new part I’ve watched so far this year, pretty sure that’s probably not enough to warrant a push for soty though.
What else impressed me so far this year,?,?, um,,,, that DC SHOES X BRONZE 56K collab video that came out two months ago was pretty decent. I don’t know, nick stain????? that hockey part was amazing and I think it came out sometime during this year, would a single video part, along with a few published skate pics and a magazine ad or two be enough to warrant a chance at soty?? Probably not. who won last year???? or the year before that?, I know tyshawn one a couple a years ago, or maybe that was last year??? It’s obvious that I’m very invested in this and I’ll be anxiously
Waiting for them to announce the winner this year.
-
So hyped for a new part. Tyshawn just has that style and pop that puts him on another level. T-Funk is the only other with that much originality. To me, it’s between these two people for soty, they are the two with the fucking insane crazy stand out styles.
No offense to Louie or even Carlos Ribileiro who both blessed it this year as well

Bingo, Tyshaw reminds me of Reese Forbes in that way(spoken as someone who personally witnessed Resse during his early Pulaski years).

Agreed. Tyshawn is one of those guys you have to see skate in person to really appreciate how amazing he is.
-
If I was head of thrasher and had the power to grant the winner for soty I would give the award to some random no name joe skate kid from the local skate park one year just to watch the people invested in winning loose their minds in frustration… it probably wouldn’t be that funny at all though, it would most likely be really stupid and frustrating to the majority of people who are interested in the contest.

But I’m having a hard time drawing any sort of comparison with Reese Forbes to tyshawn jones. No offense but that comparison makes about as much sense to me as it would to compare rob pulowski with lee Ralph.

He goes fast and jumps over shit. You never really get (or want) skaters continuing directly where others finished but tyshawn and sage are kinda the new Dylan, Austyn, Olson who were kinda the new huf, Forbes.

Muscle twitch vs muscle mass. Stu Graham's prob got some of the biggest legs but he ain't jumping too high.

Sorry,,
But I’m having a hard time drawing any sort of comparison with Reese Forbes to tyshawn jones. No offense but that comparison makes about as much sense to me as it would to compare rob pulowski with lee Ralph.
The pop and the effortlessness are why I draw the comparison, if you don't get it NBD but I 100% stand by my observation and your rob pulhowski/lee ralph counter observation is silly/over the top(no offense either). Also Lee Ralph is fucking godhead. Kind of surprised a street skater dude like yourself doesn't recognize real when they see it.

Cause he's one of a kind, haters are gonna hate. Fuck it we know him and max palmer are the chosen ones. I doubt TJ cares either.

He goes fast and jumps over shit. You never really get (or want) skaters continuing directly where others finished but tyshawn and sage are kinda the new Dylan, Austyn, Olson who were kinda the new huf, Forbes.

I don't understand how he gets so much pop out of those scrawny ass legs. Same with Lou lopes. Wish they'd both stop skating in shorts. Its distracting and they look like they're twelve
Muscle twitch vs muscle mass. Stu Graham's prob got some of the biggest legs but he ain't jumping too high.
White muscle content vs. red muscle content, a topic that’s been discussed over and over again. Some skateboarders learn to use the quick reflex/rebound that white muscle mass provides to pop higher (usually makes your pop technique very light footed and also can leave your tissue and bones vulnerable and easier to tear up tissue or break bone. Red muscle mass can also be used effectively to pop higher, not as much technique behind it, more brute force that can be just as effective increasing pop (though white muscle mass tone is what you want to refine if you want to increase the pop of not just your standard Ollie but all of your flip tricks too. And this is where I see the big difference between Reese Forbes and tyshawn jones. Not to say that Reese dosent have that light footed quick rebound snap but he definitely looks like he uses a lot more upper body red muscle mass to get the job done than tyshawn does. Both of ttyshawn and Reese are fucking beasts on their boards but I just don’t see much of a resemblance. I can’t remember ever seeing Reese grind out an nbd flip in slide trick down a medium size handrail, as for Reese? Well he’s skated spots that can pretty much be designated strictly a“Reese Forbes” spot that not many people are going to have the sheer strength and power to skate the spot the way that Reese does or has in the past. I had the pleasure of getting to watch Reese skate some of those full sized stucco grey colored Picnic tables on flat, pretty amazing seeing him backside lipslide the top of one, something that I would need a good size bank or bump to be able to reach the top of one of those big as tables. A good example to watch and study different types flatground Ollie pop technique is to watch Reese and Danny wainwright in that high Ollie contest from 15 or 17 years ago, both had close to the same pop height but both had two completely different ways of getting there, wainwright having a lot more light footed quick snap and Forbes using more upper body mix with some lower body strength, a little heavier footed than wainwright and in my opinion Reese’s technique and form looked better, but that just my personal take on it.

Do people actually question and criticize tyshawn’s skating? Why? What the fuck is there to critique? Besides the fact that he too damn good at skateboarding… ok…having anything negative to say about tyshawn’s skateboarding is far more fucking bizarre and confusing than it is to compare a resemblance to Reese Forbes and tyshawn, I can wrap my head around that concept and see the merit in it. But to criticize anything tyshawn produces on a skateboard is just a flat out stupid interpretation, people need to lay off the glue sniffing.

You guys should read through more Tyshawn threads on Slap, every time a topic is about TJ there's haters on slap criticizing his character, skating, lack of footage, and it's way more apparent than the amount of criticism other skaters of his skill level receives. It's like people want to discredit him any way they can and it's so obvious.

he has the highest accolades in skating, doesnt recieve anything but praise and one guy in a thread saying all he does is pop
but ok
Lol you're being willfully ignorant, his SOTY win was heavily contested and even reading page 1 of this thread you have people who "don't like his attitude" or saying Evan was snaked for SOTY.
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=114987.0
What about this thread where people were bashing TJ for pouring water on someone who looked homeless, but ended up being a friend who's black?
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=114561.0
Or this thread calling him out for a lack of footage, and arguing about not respecting the culture that got him his fame and fortune.
Or here where people are calling him a slacker in the first response.
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=116605.0
That's just after a quick search and off memory, it's very telling that key words like "attitude" "slacker" "ego" is thrown onto him, which are generally words to discredit black people succeeding in different professions.

discrediting black people from succeeding in different professions???
where are you getting that? sounds like a personal issue. TJ been on a path to success since he was a kid.
the people calling him a slacker literally want to see his footy if you read the thread. we are hungry for it!
seen more people shitting on LL recently if anything which is very uncool

no one will ever switch back tail up a street rail what the fuck are you smoking this isnt thps
Honestly, I could see tyshawn doing it, a long with plenty of ridiculous shit that dosent seem possible. 10-15 years ago, if you told me that one day someone was going to kickflip an LA school picnic table the long way on flat I would’ve told you to stop smoking crack and that it’ll never happen. Yet here we are, and it looked like it was nothing for him. There are a few mellow street rails out there that could potentially be SS/BS//TS up, like that 3 or 4 stair rail that westgate back smithed up
(I think it’s in San Jose or somewhere in that same Northern California area) I don’t think that it’s completely out of the question and we’re not talking about a switch back tail up the Hollywood high 16.

i get what youre saying man but doing a switch grind up a handrail is not based in reality. sw back board down a rail is super fucking hard even.

I get that, I’m just saying that I don’t think the idea is completely out of the realm of reality, it’s definitely far fetched but there’s a few dudes out there that can pop a switch tail up on ridiculously high ledges, so with the right handrail there’s a few people who pop it high enough to get on it, but finding the momentum to carry the slide up a handrail, even a really mellow one is definitely in the realm of hard to imagine it being possible. But you never know. I’ve seen some really stupid shit over the past 15 years that I never thought would be possible..
Side question- what’s the most amount of stairs that’s been ollied up? I remember seeing a skateboarder magazine cover with someone ollieing up a long 6 or 7 stair set. I can’t remember the name of the person who had the cover, I’ve tried to search to find that skateboarder cover but I can’t find it because I don’t remember the person’s names that did it.
-
Don't feel like quoting everybody but yeah he can absolutely do some switch stuff up a mellow 4 - 5 stair, that's what I was picturing. Could absolutely see a sw backtail up a mellow square one. He has the talent, if he went full skate-training for a while where he practiced a lot of switch stuff up skatepark rails I would bet my meager life savings he'd get a switch back tail on an actual rail, the talent is definitely there. There's no point saying certain tricks are impossible anymore

Its gotta be a 9. People go up 6 all the time, I think Brophy 180 up an 7 a real long while back but I guess it's not something people go out their way to do too often. What happened to that Miquel haddox guy? Think he halfcab flipped up a 6 he could def Ollie way higher.
As far as switch back tail up a rail I'm sure there's plenty of rails tyshawn could make it work on. Prob wouldn't look great but he could come out early and prob still clear the top step. Doesn't necessarily have to go all the way up and over the top of the rail.

I mean yeah, it checks out and it’s not like he’d be defying the laws of physics. And like I said a little earlier, there’s definitely couple of guys out there that can pop a switch backside tailslide up on to ledges over waist high. That’s just so fucking gnarly for me to fathom. Out all the different non flip pop ways to to get your board up on to a ledge a switch back tail just seems to be the most awkward and difficult but there’s dudes that can lock that trick on high ass ledges that I wouldn’t even be able to get my board up into a simple backside nose slide on. In the past 6 or 7 years it seems like shit has gotten absurd..

That stair set Ollie I was talking about was on the cover of skateboarder magazine quite a few years ago I think, it looked like an east coast spot (outdoor basketball or a city park?) the stairs were long and pretty mellow. I just wish I could remember the guy’s name who did it because I’ve trying to search for the picture of for awhile now, I think some blue painted walls in the background of the photo. Damn! I wish I could remember. Does any of that ring a bell for any of you guys! I gotta figure it out.

Considering the switch back tails Tiago has already done, someone could absolutely switch back tail up a handrail one day. Probably a mellow stairset but still for sure could be done, just doesn't have to be anything like Wilshire of course

Do people actually question and criticize tyshawn’s skating? Why? What the fuck is there to critique? Besides the fact that he too damn good at skateboarding… ok…having anything negative to say about tyshawn’s skateboarding is far more fucking bizarre and confusing than it is to compare a resemblance to Reese Forbes and tyshawn, I can wrap my head around that concept and see the merit in it. But to criticize anything tyshawn produces on a skateboard is just a flat out stupid interpretation, people need to lay off the glue sniffing.
You guys should read through more Tyshawn threads on Slap, every time a topic is about TJ there's haters on slap criticizing his character, skating, lack of footage, and it's way more apparent than the amount of criticism other skaters of his skill level receives. It's like people want to discredit him any way they can and it's so obvious.
Favorite dimwitted Tyshawn critique on here - “wears durags and isn’t classy” lmao some folks can’t stand that he’s a one of a kind talent

I saw Tyshawn do a nollie heel, and let me say, I would not be upset if he was our SOTY.

Tyshawn reminds me of Reese Forbes added with Stevies style / tech. I can’t shake the feeling if he was some white kid that rode for anti hero, his skating wouldn’t be as questioned or criticized.
You have just described Grant Taylor.
Are you just naming white dudes? GT is nothing like Tyshawn
TJ is gonna switch back tail up a handrail at some point. He’s gonna put out a part where he does some switch grinds up rails, that’s the new frontier for his skating, you heard it here first
no one will ever switch back tail up a street rail what the fuck are you smoking this isnt thps
Honestly, I could see tyshawn doing it, a long with plenty of ridiculous shit that dosent seem possible. 10-15 years ago, if you told me that one day someone was going to kickflip an LA school picnic table the long way on flat I would’ve told you to stop smoking crack and that it’ll never happen. Yet here we are, and it looked like it was nothing for him. There are a few mellow street rails out there that could potentially be SS/BS//TS up, like that 3 or 4 stair rail that westgate back smithed up
(I think it’s in San Jose or somewhere in that same Northern California area) I don’t think that it’s completely out of the question and we’re not talking about a switch back tail up the Hollywood high 16.
i get what youre saying man but doing a switch grind up a handrail is not based in reality. sw back board down a rail is super fucking hard even.
I get that, I’m just saying that I don’t think the idea is completely out of the realm of reality, it’s definitely far fetched but there’s a few dudes out there that can pop a switch tail up on ridiculously high ledges, so with the right handrail there’s a few people who pop it high enough to get on it, but finding the momentum to carry the slide up a handrail, even a really mellow one is definitely in the realm of hard to imagine it being possible. But you never know. I’ve seen some really stupid shit over the past 15 years that I never thought would be possible..
Side question- what’s the most amount of stairs that’s been ollied up? I remember seeing a skateboarder magazine cover with someone ollieing up a long 6 or 7 stair set. I can’t remember the name of the person who had the cover, I’ve tried to search to find that skateboarder cover but I can’t find it because I don’t remember the person’s names that did it.
Its gotta be a 9. People go up 6 all the time, I think Brophy 180 up an 7 a real long while back but I guess it's not something people go out their way to do too often. What happened to that Miquel haddox guy? Think he halfcab flipped up a 6 he could def Ollie way higher.
As far as switch back tail up a rail I'm sure there's plenty of rails tyshawn could make it work on. Prob wouldn't look great but he could come out early and prob still clear the top step. Doesn't necessarily have to go all the way up and over the top of the rail.
That stair set Ollie I was talking about was on the cover of skateboarder magazine quite a few years ago I think, it looked like an east coast spot (outdoor basketball or a city park?) the stairs were long and pretty mellow. I just wish I could remember the guy’s name who did it because I’ve trying to search for the picture of for awhile now, I think some blue painted walls in the background of the photo. Damn! I wish I could remember. Does any of that ring a bell for any of you guys! I gotta figure it out.
Maybe this is what you're thinking

How the fuck is this possible. I really never realized how high and long people actually jump. Skateboarding is blowing my mind in a new way. It makes sense from a physics point of view of course, just go really fast...But my brain still can't really accept it. Putting a measuring tape on the floor after the tyshawn subway kickflip changed my look on skating

i dont think there is any easier switch trick besides switch fs 180, than switch back board. it is definintely the easiest switch grind, maybe swithc noseslide could be easier, but not on a handrail.
a switch 5050 is harder than a switch board even and that has been done down giant hubbas back in the early 2000s even (carlos ruiz blind what if) also switch back lipped massive stuff. pretty sure switch back lip has been done down hollywood high.

It was good but honestly I was still waiting for something more. The single tricks were super heavy but I would've liked to see more street lines and more weird NYC spots. Compared to his parts made by Strobeck this felt more generic and bland. Yet I'm happy that there were less ultra zoomed in shots and zooming into the skaters face before and after the trick. Definately waiting for a possible second part.

I find people who truly believes that “Evan the poltergeist” was snubbed back in 2018, absolutely pathetic.
I would drink poison if TJ told me to. All hail TJ the 18th king of hell.

It's not a dick move against him. the skater who is the best should win it. If you need people to not release parts so you can get it u shouldn't win it

Agreed with the filming. It was competent but basic. Maybe after an entire career working with Strobeck, that’s what he wanted? Definitely hits an in-between spot for me though, and actually makes me realize that I genuinely enjoy Fat Bill’s technique.

So stupid, Louie is amazing but he’s desperately trying to win soty for the second year in a row. As far as I’m concerned Louie was never even in the running this year considering T-Funks part.

Not that this matters, but Tyshawn isn't even on FA anymore. He's not supposed to put out parts because another skater on the board brand that he quit a few months ago maybe wants to be SOTY too? Should he just sit on his footage until all the other skaters have had their turn?
-
Switch big heel was insane . What a sick fucking part. Fuck the guy telling him not to drop footy because an ex teammate is “making a SOTY push”, what a corny thing to say. Dudes not even on FA anymore

Seeing the skater and the trick > seeing 30% of the skater and the trick
Especially with a skater like Tyshawn, where grasping the spots magnitude is important. Can't even see how high in the air the dude is if you zoom around.
Really glad to see "basic" Tyshawn footage like that. The bs flip was so good

Once more Tyshawn footage comes out I think Soty is his, otherwise I think T-Funk is still in the running. Louie needs to have some patience and self restraint if he actually wants to win.

I still feel like I’m missing something with tyshawn - doesn’t do it for me.
I know it’s becoming basically a meme to criticise him…but that switch ollie over the bench wasn’t even straight. Style is wack. Outfits wack. Group hugs wack.

crazy that TJ is only 23 but he seems more mature than nyjah and nakel who are both like 28

This part was insane. Tricks into the big bank at china banks, Jerome Ave, switch ollie over the table long ways, that back noseblunt on the top of the sf pier ledge, and the insane ender which also pays homage to Dylan.
If dude has another part that's this stacked coming, I don't think there's any question about it.
Tyshawn coming for the title again.
-
Part was good but it kinda felt like Suciu’s first few vids in his SOTY push. They were fine but I haven’t rewatched them. i don’t think that was even close to T-Funks vid. Nothing to do with his personality, which I have no issue with.
Edit- also am I the only person who noticed his back wheel hitting the rail on that switch nosegrind? They slo-mo’d it so it was pretty obvious.
This vid felt like b-roll except for that nollie FS heel which was nuts

Tyshawn is excellent, no doubt. I like seeing him celebrate after a trick though which he did a few times in there. always better to see these guys having fun. As cool as that video is I still think the t-funk video is one of my favorites this year.

The fact that people have named so many tricks as their favourites shows how heavy this was. Agreed that the filming could have maybe been a bit more exciting but skating like this speaks for itself. Really feels like he can do whatever he wants, must feel amazing to be that good.

I’m not hating on it (ok I am hating on that switch nose where he tapped his back wheel- I can’t believe they put that in). It was a good part. But the “OMG he’s SOTY no one can deny it after this part” takes are silly. That part wasn’t an instant SOTY part, and I don’t even think it was meant to be. The last two SOTYs came out with parts late in the year that everyone has forgotten but signaled they were going for SOTY. This part says it’s just the beginning. Right now he’s still way behind TFunk in my eyes.
-
Tyshawn could probably Ollie the Chinatown bench on flat
-
As monumental as TFunk’s ollie is, Tyshawn having a hand in dismantling Illegal Civ this year is arguably a more important contribution.
-
Tyshawn could probably kickflip the Chinatown bench on flat
Skating over one of those on flat is obviously nowhere near as terrifying as flying over the lip with a 65ft drop on the other side
Confused why nobody is referring to the switch nosegrind as the switch ollie over to nosegrind that I saw it as.. If he bonked that's sick
-
If tyshawn wins that means we get an absolute hammer part by year end with the subway footy. If he doesn't win it means we don't get that hammer part we can all imagine.
I want that fuckin footy so I'm rooting for tyshawn. Simple logic damn it.

So a former fa pro in the running for SOTY with a current fa pro.

My man still looking like Roger Mancha with godlike abilities...
I watched his Blessed part the other days (which i prefered to this one) and i realized he had a clip rocking the infamous black and red Gareth Hill pants. I just thought it was funny.
-
people are reaching a bit in here. i did notice him going to the side on the end of the switch ollie upon my first watch & even rewound multiple times to verify. it could’ve been done better but, who else could do that in the world? it’s not like he popped over to the side initially, he went straight on and just shifted a bit at the end. you have to think about the fact that he’s coming in mach 10 rolling switch at an angle. i don’t think he purposefully shifted over, i just think that naturally at that speed with that angle your body would drift a bit sideways. after going back twice, already having shot the cover (assumably), & eating shit like he did rolling up, would you want to redo it? it still counts completely in my opinion and shouldn’t be disregarded, he didn’t drift over to the side completely, he still carried it to the end and just edged off a bit. & who cares if he barely clipped on the switch ollie straight over a handrail to nosegrind… i literally didn’t notice that at all until it was said & then had to replay twice to notice. cmon.
part was insane. i get what people say about his style that they don’t like but to me it just makes him more raw. like a kareem type style somewhat, long semi stiff legs with insane pop. if kareem wore the same shit tyshawn does back in the day i guarantee you it would look very similar. that 3 flip over the rail at china banks was very kareem esque to me, maybe that’s just me. he lands crouched after he nollie bs flips over a fucking bump to bar… well yeah i would imagine so. i honestly dig his style a lot and think it’s shaped up more & more to be completely one of a kind a long with his skating. fakie hardflip the street gap he fakie flips in supreme video & makes it look like nothing. the bs heel over the bump to bar in la is literally ridiculous, spot has been there forever and always just saw ollies until he takes it all the way with a bs heelflip in the middle of his first part. sw big heel over rail & nollie hardflip blubba looked like a walk in the park, same with bs flip up dylan gap. dude is just on a compete other level & it’s wild to watch him grow better & better while running a restaurant, doing all his big modeling gigs, having already gotten the trophy & probably going to get it once again, & about to start his own board brand (or already has just hasn’t launched). he’s an entrepreneur who is on top of the world right now & it’s fucking awesome to see.

Back noseblunt was tight. Still dont care for him but that was some busenitz meets cromer speed meets finesse

Tyshawn could probably Ollie the Chinatown bench on flat
If not he could definitely Ollie next to it. Let’s be real he Ollie’s next to a lot of shit. He still good but it is what it is.
Part was good got me stoked. Dmx song was tight. Will watch again. I’m sure he’s got something up his sleeve still cause the subway footage wasn’t in this. So I kinda think this was throw away with a few bangers while that subway clip will be in a heavier part. Really good video part. But not SOTY worthy with this part. But that to be continued at the end I bet will have some heat. But some of y’all are really reaching in this thread.
It was nice being able to see tyshawn skate and not a super zoom in of his feet and ankles and not see the depth of the trick. Seeing non fat bill tyshawn footy reminds me of how good he actually is and how much fat bills filming takes away from tyshawns skating.

people are reaching a bit in here. i did notice him going to the side on the end of the switch ollie upon my first watch & even rewound multiple times to verify. it could’ve been done better but, who else could do that in the world? it’s not like he popped over to the side initially, he went straight on and just shifted a bit at the end. you have to think about the fact that he’s coming in mach 10 rolling switch at an angle. i don’t think he purposefully shifted over, i just think that naturally at that speed with that angle your body would drift a bit sideways. after going back twice, already having shot the cover (assumably), & eating shit like he did rolling up, would you want to redo it? it still counts completely in my opinion and shouldn’t be disregarded, he didn’t drift over to the side completely, he still carried it to the end and just edged off a bit. & who cares if he barely clipped on the switch ollie straight over a handrail to nosegrind… i literally didn’t notice that at all until it was said & then had to replay twice to notice. cmon.
part was insane. i get what people say about his style that they don’t like but to me it just makes him more raw. like a kareem type style somewhat, long semi stiff legs with insane pop. if kareem wore the same shit tyshawn does back in the day i guarantee you it would look very similar. that 3 flip over the rail at china banks was very kareem esque to me, maybe that’s just me. he lands crouched after he nollie bs flips over a fucking bump to bar… well yeah i would imagine so. i honestly dig his style a lot and think it’s shaped up more & more to be completely one of a kind a long with his skating. fakie hardflip the street gap he fakie flips in supreme video & makes it look like nothing. the bs heel over the bump to bar in la is literally ridiculous, spot has been there forever and always just saw ollies until he takes it all the way with a bs heelflip in the middle of his first part. sw big heel over rail & nollie hardflip blubba looked like a walk in the park, same with bs flip up dylan gap. dude is just on a compete other level & it’s wild to watch him grow better & better while running a restaurant, doing all his big modeling gigs, having already gotten the trophy & probably going to get it once again, & about to start his own board brand (or already has just hasn’t launched). he’s an entrepreneur who is on top of the world right now & it’s fucking awesome to see.
This post was very cheetahsheets-esque. 😘

him pushing up to the switch ollie looked raw as fuck
When he did it he looked exactly like a wakeboarder catching air, not that interesting of a point but that’s immediately what I thought of
Best east coast skater of all time, if you described his skating to pops-obsessed preteen me i would have done a number 3 in my brown cords

Thanks @EdLawndale. I just lost my temper once about a decade ago and still feel the consequences :) In fact one of the mods messaged me once and said he could set my rep back to zero but I declined.
I am pretty mellow in general indeed. Especially here. On Reddit for instance I can be quite mean and harsh in my comments, but SLAP feels like a family after all those years, just like skaters in general.

TLDR but from the beginning of ur argument i think it was just filmed at a shit angle and thats whats causing all the hating on it, no shit the trick is still fucked but he should have either done it right or gotten it filmed from a better angle

4Ply just published a quick statistical analysis of The General:
http://4plymag.com/thegeneral/ (http://4plymag.com/thegeneral/)
It digs deep into important things like percentage of tricks done in SF vs NYC, clips filmed while wearing a durag, and tricks landed on Hardies brand graphic griptape.

What’s the time stamp for the kickflip? All I saw was someone ollie it, which has been done multiple times and discussed here before.

Yeah, and someone did it prior to them. What’s your point?

Think he took the same run up line for the kf? That video put into perspective how short of a time you have.

Would be shocked if Tiago hasn't switch back tailed up some sort of hand rail at this point.
I could see nollie black tail, nollie back lip, switch back tail, or kf back tail from TJ. Backside nosegrind revert off the top would be the holy grail of up rail tricks.
Frontside half cab nose slide to fakie/switch out seems like the most feasible one to me, that trick is easy to lob up onto high shit and you can lean on it hard to slide up an escalator ledge without sliding out. That seems far more likely imo.

Anybody hating on this is a buster, plain and simple. Hating for the sake of it.
I’m not hating on it (ok I am hating on that switch nose where he tapped his back wheel- I can’t believe they put that in). It was a good part. But the “OMG he’s SOTY no one can deny it after this part” takes are silly. That part wasn’t an instant SOTY part, and I don’t even think it was meant to be. The last two SOTYs came out with parts late in the year that everyone has forgotten but signaled they were going for SOTY. This part says it’s just the beginning. Right now he’s still way behind TFunk in my eyes.
He switch nose grinded that rail going over the back at the top! So what if he barely tapped his nose on the way out! That shit was bonkers just like everything in that part. I don’t understand how people don’t like his style, I think it’s awesome that he skates different than most of the people who skate the same shit he skates.plus if you go back and look at his parts over the past few years, starting with “away days” he’s done some groundbreaking, memorable shit that will be remembered for a very long time. Switch backside 180 back 5-0 down that rail in New York, varial flip the love fountain wearing white overalls, the trash can lines in that “killer” video part and so on. Dude is on another level.. one of only a few guys that I pay close attention too and make sure that I watch everything he puts out. That’s just my take on it. He’s worth paying attention to.

What ever happened to Brooklyn brawler? That dude was my favorite. I think I heard someone saying that he sort of went of on some of the posters on here when he was a moderator, I wasn’t on here or lurking during that time, so I don’t know the whole story of what went down.

I know it gets brought up occasionally but the fact that he did a switch back 270 lip and a nollie front 270 lip on different rails as “filler” footage in a ridiculous 7+ minute part doesn’t get talked about enough.

I mean- bonking on a nosegrind is bonking on a nosegrind. To me it’s like tail scraping a manual. It can be really crazy hard but it’s not exactly a make. My point is just that it’s not his best footy and on its own not a SOTY part, like, say, when Milton dropped Demolicion. Right now I think TFunks part is more of an insta-SOTY part.
Style is subjective and for whatever reason he’s not my thing. He’s got skills that no one else has for sure and I’m excited for the big part we know is coming. If he drops something really insane I’ll be cool with him winning. Mason, Foy and Suciu weren’t really my thing either but I thought they deserved it.

I think it should be pointed out that the reason that bonk even happened is because he didn’t overcrook the nosegrind. He almost nosegrinded perfectly straight which is so fucked. If he was in overcrook position (like 99.9% of nosegrinds on rails) nothing would have clipped. If you think about the physics of jumping over that rail and coming down it at that angle, it’s almost impossible not to catch unless you nosedive the landing. That’s why nobody nosegrinds rails that way…that’s why that trick was so insane. He took the harder approach. If he changed his technique it would have been cleaner, but cleaner isn’t everything.

This.. what you said right here.. if he didn’t start to level his board out at the end (in a straight up non-crooked nosegrind) he would’ve landed either in a switch nose manual or just straight landed with the nose (or tail being that it’s switch) straight into the ground and been thrown forward off of his board, he pretty much really didn’t have any other option but to level out his board so he wouldn’t dive bomb tail/nose first into the ground. Plus, look at the other tricks he’s done over the back of that rail, switch back lip, backside noseblunt slide. The switch nosegrind was obviously just a progression to the fucked up shit he’s already done over the back/top of that rail.

I totally get that “style” is subjective and even a persons trick selection is subjective too. I mean, it’s obviously a “subjective” opinion that personally I would rather watch a video of paint drying than watch a Greg lutzka video part. So I get that it’s a matter of personal taste. I wouldn’t say that it’s lame that someone might not enjoy watching tyshawn skate because it’s obviously just a personal opinion. There are dudes that I can’t stand to watch clips of that the majority of people probably love to watch clips of (Sean paballo or however you spell his name is an example of someone that’s obviously good and people love to watch footage of but I just can’t get into that guy’s style, spot and trick selection, I just don’t find any of it interesting, but I can understand why other people are into his skateboarding) different strokes for different folks

how do you misspell a 5 letter, super common name
Do you think that when the horseshoe was invented there was any wonderment if a horse sock would be the next logical progression in horse hoof accessories?
Is pablo the super common name you’re referring to? Then I guess the most logical answer to how I misspelled a super common 5 letter name would be that I misspelled a super common 5 letter name because, well, I misspelled a super common 5 letter name.
That’s how it happened. If it was a super common 4 letter name? There’s a possibility that I could’ve spelled a super common 4 letter name wrong too, anything less than a super common 4 letter name spelled wrong would definitely be very concerning and borderline stupid on a grand scale of stupid, instead of just normal super common 5 letter name, illiterate stupid.

Anybody hating on this is a buster, plain and simple. Hating for the sake of it.
I’m not hating on it (ok I am hating on that switch nose where he tapped his back wheel- I can’t believe they put that in). It was a good part. But the “OMG he’s SOTY no one can deny it after this part” takes are silly. That part wasn’t an instant SOTY part, and I don’t even think it was meant to be. The last two SOTYs came out with parts late in the year that everyone has forgotten but signaled they were going for SOTY. This part says it’s just the beginning. Right now he’s still way behind TFunk in my eyes.
He switch nose grinded that rail going over the back at the top! So what if he barely tapped his nose on the way out! That shit was bonkers just like everything in that part. I don’t understand how people don’t like his style, I think it’s awesome that he skates different than most of the people who skate the same shit he skates.plus if you go back and look at his parts over the past few years, starting with “away days” he’s done some groundbreaking, memorable shit that will be remembered for a very long time. Switch backside 180 back 5-0 down that rail in New York, varial flip the love fountain wearing white overalls, the trash can lines in that “killer” video part and so on. Dude is on another level.. one of only a few guys that I pay close attention too and make sure that I watch everything he puts out. That’s just my take on it. He’s worth paying attention to.

Early socks were already made of animal skins/fur so they probably figured the horses didn't need them. I'm guessing after horseshoes they probably thought of some kind of horse dentures but never really succeeded

Couldn't help but immediately think he was talking about suciu as obviously he is the last soty and also filmed like half an hour of footage but watching it all again and I wouldn't of called it filler. No more than half of tyshawns hammers part which is actually a quarter filler. (Saying that as a tyshawn fan) sucius at least always doing a new or at least very hard trick even if the spot is kind of small or skating an interesting spot so I think it's all valid.
I'm wondering if he's possibly talking about Louie as a lot of his stuff is more just regular style skating (altho once again I'd still say pretty fukn good)

Still one of the most clever video titles of all time. It wasn’t just a self deprecating reference to the Europeans getting overlooked by the industry….it was a double meaning. I think Alex Carolino said it was a joke about American skaters coming over to Europe and trying tricks that had already been done. They’d be like “so-n-so already did that” and in frustration they’d be like “I don’t give a fuck about him!” So the title is also a brag…like “we’re the one’s they don’t give a fuck about, we’re the ones landing everything”….fucking great title, great video.

Agreed. That interview really put me off of him, although I can't deny his superhuman talent/skill. He's basically a slightly cooler version of Jah at this point. Will definitely be bummed if he wins SOTY, even if he does deserve a second win after this insane Fall blitz. That new photo of the tre over the narrow pointy gate gap combined with the subway gap kickflip cover is a brutal combo.

I've heard some of the tricks he's done at some classic spots, and none of them make sense and I can't picture any of them, in particular the one at pyramid ledges. Also I heard he Sw Bs flipped into the fountain maybe, 2 years ago now, so can only imagine what he's done since.

Tyshawn rips obviously but every time I see him, I’m too distracted because he just gives off an impression that he’s too good for anyone. Granted I don’t know the guy but that’s just what I get from watching his skating.
your impression is correct, he's a diva
the fictions people create about a complete stranger on this website boggle the mind
True that
At his table contest he was out there serving food to the attendants himself.

I went back and watched t funk.
Someone mentioned that T funk don't have a shoe sponsor. That's punk af.
I feel like that in combination with his part and the big bench trick. T funk is bound for soty.
Isn't he living in SF too? Insurmountable evidence of soty.
Also sidewalk gap to fs wall in to hill.

Does T Funk have anything else coming out this year? His last post is almost 3 months ago, but this front smith to 4 city block hill bomb is one of the best things I’ve seen all year.

He’s been filming around the city a ton. Rumor is it’s for a Baker part to be out by end of year. At least that’s what some guy said at the skatepark, but he seemed really convincing.
-
The other day, one of his sponsors (maybe Spitfire) posted a T-Funk clip and Reynolds replied "Can't wait for the new part!!!" so obviously they're subtly hyping him up.
-
After watching the new Evan Smith footage I'd say it would be hard to outshine him. Although SOTY is also politics imo. If T-Funk really does release something soon then possibly him as well.

Ah, it's this post. Regardless of who gets it, I always appreciate the onslaught of top tier footage in Nov/Dec.

Im not a fan of this kids attitude, comes off really arrogant BUT he's incredibly talented and this video part is insane. the switch ollie was sus and he's been a repeat offender of the drifting to the side and using camera angles to make up for it. Follow up part will be the deciding factor.

That’s Gerwer and a friend filming from atop. I assume “cat’s outta the bag” is a reference to Frank sitting on that clip for however long it was from the time it was filmed until the premier of the GX video.

"tyshawn acted 'off' during the three minute span in which i saw him so now i'm convinced he's a diva forever and ever. no, i will not elaborate on his behavior or describe how he's a diva"

It's undeniable that TJ is already one of the best to ever do it. There's nothing to discuss about his talent because he's incredibly athletic and jumps higher than almost anyone else, save Antonio Durau or Tiago. This is an assessment of Tyshawn's character.
After Gifted Hater's vidpost today I thought this would be a relevant topic because I'm on a tirade in opposition of giving the 2022 SOTY to Tyshawn Jones.
Remember when Phelps flew to NYC to present TJ with his SOTY choice? It could just be me, but I thought Thyshawn was completely unenthused and even fairly disrespectful. Tyshawn is the last person to ever receive a SOTY from the man himself, and he acted like he was too cool to care. I can't find the full vid anymore, and it doesn't seem to be on Thrasher's youtube anymore. I'm not referring to his SOTY party btw, I'm talking about the video where Phelps shows up while TJ is hanging with Mark Gonzales and Strobeck at Houston St. Park. Tyshawn comes off as such a pompous turd in everything from his interviews to his instagram.
I was excited to see what he was going to do with his new board company... we waited a long time to see. Some speculated he'd expand Hardies and do a newer version of Shorty's. And then finally he comes out with KING... which, I don't need to explain how expected, egotistical and boring the name is... but additionally the roll-out of KING was so bad it forced them to immediately rebrand and take down their website logo within the first 24 hours of creating and running the page. Plus to me, the fact that he fucks with Nakel Smith so hard is a bummer all by itself.
Nakel has been a polarizing character, but now he is more than ever. He got his wannabe gangbanger friends to beat up and intimidate Lottie's Skateshop and essentially forced them to shut down. While this is in itself is a very shitty thing to do, I've also personally never been able to watch his footage because he's got such an ugly weasely mug. I can see Nakel's joker-ass becoming the next Jereme Rogers.
In interviews it has been apparent that Tyshawn is somewhat shallow or low-level thinking. Naming Hardies from a game where they punch each other "hard" is an accidental marketing genius idea, but pretty dumb in concept. I think a big part of Hardies' success is their iconic black power fist evoking logo combined with the bolt. We all gotta admit it is a sick ass logo. But what a boring ass origin story of the brand.
I think it's clear that Tyshawn wants to make money off of skateboarding and does't really care about the history. Otherwise he'd be more honored to have Phelps give him the SOTY in person, or he'd have more to say in interviews about getting the opportunity to hang out with Mark Gonzales. Gifted Hater's analysis of his switch ollie over the p table has only added to my theory that TJ is an egotripper and cares too much about clout over paying homage to any history or art or rules of skateboarding.
Because no matter how much we'd hate to admit it, there are a few rules to what flies in the skateboarding industry and what doesn't "pass the vibe-check". Never catch me saying that phrase again. But Tyshawn doesn't really feel like an authentic skateboarder to me. I think he just wants to win, win, win no matter what with money on his mind - he can't ever get enough. Which is rude IMO it's like... dude... money isn't the most important thing in the world... become humble or something maybe find Jesus like Kanye did.
In short - Tyshawn Jones is a certified asshole and a half.

TJ literally couldn't lift his head at his award ceremony because he was crying too much. You cannot skate on the level Tyshawn skates without some ammount of ego. You cannot have the ego Tyshawn has without an army of people backing you and supporting you and pushing you to make your mark on this world.
I'm about to tripple down on my support of Tyshawn on this forum. He's the only skater on the list still out there getting clips right now, fuck anyone and everyone who is so blind to his commitment to skateboarding

lets talk bad about 2 dead people because my best skateboard man isnt winning the competition about skateboard stunts

Glad people are finally starting to mention that Phelps fukin sucked. My impression of him was that he was an old school punk who never mentally matured past 16.
And how tf was TJ supposed to know he’d be the last SOTY that Phelps gave the trophy too? Is he Madam Cleo?? TJ also strikes me as a socially awkward dude, like unless he’s comfortable with you he’s gonna come across as standoffish because he doesn’t know what to do
-
Lol dude physically wrote down goals with one being SOTY and he even cried at the party. Yeah real piece of shit material
People like that make me sick. They have "aspirations" and "ambitions" and put in "effort" to achieve them. And then the kicker is that they become emotional when they achieve their goals and when people are happy for them as a result. Like grow up already.

While this is in itself is a very shitty thing to do, I've also personally never been able to watch his footage because he's got such an ugly weasely mug. I can see Nakel's joker-ass becoming the next Jereme Rogers.
In interviews it has been apparent that Tyshawn is somewhat shallow or low-level thinking. Naming Hardies from a game where they punch each other "hard" is an accidental marketing genius idea, but pretty dumb in concept. I think a big part of Hardies' success is their iconic black power fist evoking logo combined with the bolt. We all gotta admit it is a sick ass logo. But what a boring ass origin story of the brand.
I think it's clear that Tyshawn wants to make money off of skateboarding and does't really care about the history. Otherwise he'd be more honored to have Phelps give him the SOTY in person, or he'd have more to say in interviews about getting the opportunity to hang out with Mark Gonzales. Gifted Hater's analysis of his switch ollie over the p table has only added to my theory that TJ is an egotripper and cares too much about clout over paying homage to any history or art or rules of skateboarding.
Because no matter how much we'd hate to admit it, there are a few rules to what flies in the skateboarding industry and what doesn't "pass the vibe-check". Never catch me saying that phrase again. But Tyshawn doesn't really feel like an authentic skateboarder to me. I think he just wants to win, win, win no matter what with money on his mind - he can't ever get enough. Which is rude IMO it's like... dude... money isn't the most important thing in the world... become humble or something maybe find Jesus like Kanye did.
In short - Tyshawn Jones is a certified asshole and a half.
crrrrrringe. L take my brotha

Phelps looked like he was smelly.

It's undeniable that TJ is already one of the best to ever do it. There's nothing to discuss about his talent because he's incredibly athletic and jumps higher than almost anyone else, save Antonio Durau or Tiago. This is an assessment of Tyshawn's character.
After Gifted Hater's vidpost today I thought this would be a relevant topic because I'm on a tirade in opposition of giving the 2022 SOTY to Tyshawn Jones.
Remember when Phelps flew to NYC to present TJ with his SOTY choice? It could just be me, but I thought Thyshawn was completely unenthused and even fairly disrespectful. Tyshawn is the last person to ever receive a SOTY from the man himself, and he acted like he was too cool to care. I can't find the full vid anymore, and it doesn't seem to be on Thrasher's youtube anymore. I'm not referring to his SOTY party btw, I'm talking about the video where Phelps shows up while TJ is hanging with Mark Gonzales and Strobeck at Houston St. Park. Tyshawn comes off as such a pompous turd in everything from his interviews to his instagram.
I was excited to see what he was going to do with his new board company... we waited a long time to see. Some speculated he'd expand Hardies and do a newer version of Shorty's. And then finally he comes out with KING... which, I don't need to explain how expected, egotistical and boring the name is... but additionally the roll-out of KING was so bad it forced them to immediately rebrand and take down their website logo within the first 24 hours of creating and running the page. Plus to me, the fact that he fucks with Nakel Smith so hard is a bummer all by itself.

And how tf was TJ supposed to know he’d be the last SOTY that Phelps gave the trophy too? Is he Madam Cleo?? TJ also strikes me as a socially awkward dude, like unless he’s comfortable with you he’s gonna come across as standoffish because he doesn’t know what to do
For as long as there have been shy people, they have been accused of being arrogant, stuck up, snobbish, whatever.

Remember when Phelps flew to NYC to present TJ with his SOTY choice? It could just be me, but I thought Thyshawn was completely unenthused and even fairly disrespectful.
I would venture to say you misread the scenario.
Tyshawn is the last person to ever receive a SOTY from the man himself, and he acted like he was too cool to care.
You say this as if he should’ve known he’d be the last to get the SOTY from Phelps?
I can't find the full vid anymore, and it doesn't seem to be on Thrasher's youtube anymore. I'm not referring to his SOTY party btw, I'm talking about the video where Phelps shows up while TJ is hanging with Mark Gonzales and Strobeck at Houston St. Park. Tyshawn comes off as such a pompous turd in everything from his interviews to his instagram.
It seems like most SOTY reveals have some elaborate surprise party thing going on. Phelps just casually pulled up on him at a spot. Seemed like proportionate reaction and genuinely happy. A surprise is about catching ppl off guard. Some ppl love surprises, some get crippling anxiety. Some ppl love speaking with a camera in their face some don’t. He’s pompous for not saying yipee kiyay and having some goofy forced reaction? TJ was laughing, smiling, shook Phelps' hand. These are positive social cues in most scenarios. I mean he cried and brought his mom on stage at the SF party. I would imagine most socialized ppl would view that as a wholesome moment
I was excited to see what he was going to do with his new board company... we waited a long time to see.
He left FA a few months ago. What's the appropriate wait time window for launching a skate company?
Some speculated he'd expand Hardies and do a newer version of Shorty's. And then finally he comes out with KING... which, I don't need to explain how expected, egotistical and boring the name is... but additionally the roll-out of KING was so bad it forced them to immediately rebrand and take down their website logo within the first 24 hours of creating and running the page. Plus to me, the fact that he fucks with Nakel Smith so hard is a bummer all by itself.
Would it have been better if he doubled down and was defensive about the feedback like Illegal Civ has been recently?
Wow TJ actually responded to public feedback and reconsidered smh. Wow trial and error running a business shameful shit right there. Anyone who changes their Instagram avatar for their business should not be allowed to win SOTY!
Nakel has been a polarizing character, but now he is more than ever. He got his wannabe gangbanger friends to beat up and intimidate Lottie's Skateshop and essentially forced them to shut down. While this is in itself is a very shitty thing to do, I've also personally never been able to watch his footage because he's got such an ugly weasely mug. I can see Nakel's joker-ass becoming the next Jereme Rogers.
There was more to the Lottie’s beef... The park Lottie’s said not to go to is in a blood neighborhood (a black gang) and beefs heavy with 18 street (rival latino gang) down the street, so clearly there are some racial tensions. The Lottie's dude definitely meant well, and of course the situation could’ve been handled better... I can see how a rich white dude telling Mexicans not to go a predominantly black neighborhood skatepark could rub ppl the wrong way… It's a little tone def because most ppl at that park aren't gangbangers or racist... I makes sense how a black person who skate's that park and has Mexican friends to take offense to it...
Anyway I can't understand how a situation that happened well over a year ago, that TJ wasn't even involved with, should carry any weight in Thrasher acknowledging Tyshawn’s accomplishments on a skateboard this year?
In interviews it has been apparent that Tyshawn is somewhat shallow or low-level thinking.

Since when do skate companies need to have some deep meaning behind their names? Most don't.
I think it's clear that Tyshawn wants to make money off of skateboarding
To what extent is someone allowed make money off of skateboaridng in your book? Like isnt that the point of being a pro? To live off skatebarding.. Should he have a day job and skate for free? I mean would hope that someone running a skate company and providing for team(s), vendors, and customers would have some level of care for finance.
and doesn't really care about the history. Otherwise he'd be more honored to have Phelps give him the SOTY in person, or he'd have more to say in interviews about getting the opportunity to hang out with Mark Gonzales.
He doesn't care about skateboarding history because he doesn't dickride Mark Gonzalez in interviews?
They've been friends for like 10 yrs and share several sponsors. Saying he doesn't respect the Gonz or his legacy seems like a pretty reaching assumprion.
Gifted Hater's analysis of his switch ollie over the p table has only added to my theory that TJ is an egotripper and cares too much about clout over paying homage to any history or art or rules of skateboarding.
I've seen that analysis vid... He sw ollied the bench side of a picnic table so he's a cloutchaser/egotripper that doesn't not care for the history or art or rules of skateboarding? I am actually really struggling to follow the logic.

Are there any other rules aside from your vague vibe check?
I think he just wants to win, win, win no matter what with money on his mind - he can't ever get enough.
Yikes
Which is rude IMO it's like... dude... money isn't the most important thing in the world...
Seems like you're projecting maybe? You never really made any actual support to why you think that he only cares about money?
become humble or something maybe find Jesus like Kanye did.
In short - Tyshawn Jones is a certified asshole and a half.
Damn so this was really the grand finale to all this? Kanye is was your best example for someone who is humble?
He basically fell off after that Jesus album. That guy lost a billion $ in a week because he needed to share his antisemitic views.
TJ opened a restuarant in a food desert (in the hood getting quality food is often difficult. A lot ppl closest options are McDonald’s and corn syrup/ethanol distribution points aka liquor stores).In doing so he created jobs and invested in the community he's from instead of some gentrified uppity area. Also, they cater free food to ppl with food insecurity... Never read the bible but I'm pretty sure there's some parts about helping others. He throws huge skate jams for the local scene and serves the free food himself. That's not humble or paying homage?
Giving away food for free doesn't really fit your money hungry narcisist image you're tryna paint

I kid, for the record I said the first one was fine. Does this have anything to do with the gifted hater vid?

Hey fair enough, your post is insightful and you're right. I didn't know some of that information so thanks for checking me. I stand corrected. I wanted to hear some discourse about this dude's like-ability because sometimes I think TJ comes off as a doucher and deserves some hate. After reading what you said I'm down to reassess him and have a more positive image of him. Thanks for articulating the other side of the Lottie's drama too, it also gave me a better perspective. Still don't like Nakel though.

This one’s legit. Also boss move to go back and prove he can do it. I still don’t get why he let the one get in the edit. Aside from rushing and ran short on time but anyway this is legit. And even if he heel dragged as homie above posted I personally find it more of a make with heel drag than the weird fucked up diagonal drift he had on the first one. Zero complaints here.

it’s not even heel “drag” it just bounced off the ground

He killed it both times but returning just highlighted his love of skateboarding and the culture which is dope. Although IMO it sucked that TJ amplified that comment from twitter that contextualized the chatter around clearing the table as symbolic of some larger antiblackness. Skaters have always been nitpicky about angles, toe drags, manny scrapes, etc. It's part of the culture. Now, I would never tell another black person how to feel about whether something is racist or not. However, my opinion is that this wasn't it.
That said, let's say some of the criticism was racist, and it's likely that is true, so what? TJ has reached the heights of skateboarding and beyond, SOTY, a signature shoe on Addidas, high end modeling gigs, restaurant owner, skate company owner, multiple groundbreaking parts, etc. What more validation is needed unless some of us are so insecure about being black that it means more that some random racist assholes universally acknowledge our successes instead of appreciating our own achievements and keeping it moving.

Definition of a hard post. 'Tyshawn could end skateboarding tomorrow if he wanted'.
Gifted hater walking down the road of self destruction. Fuck gifted hater. There really are some skaters that are off limits to criticism, Tyshawn is now at the top of that list. I fucking LOVE TJ. It's Nov 22 and he's still out in these streets. We are not worthy.
eeesh, this is a new level of dickridership, even for slap
-
It's undeniable that TJ is already one of the best to ever do it. There's nothing to discuss about his talent because he's incredibly athletic and jumps higher than almost anyone else, save Antonio Durau or Tiago. This is an assessment of Tyshawn's character.
After Gifted Hater's vidpost today I thought this would be a relevant topic because I'm on a tirade in opposition of giving the 2022 SOTY to Tyshawn Jones.
Remember when Phelps flew to NYC to present TJ with his SOTY choice? It could just be me, but I thought Thyshawn was completely unenthused and even fairly disrespectful. Tyshawn is the last person to ever receive a SOTY from the man himself, and he acted like he was too cool to care. I can't find the full vid anymore, and it doesn't seem to be on Thrasher's youtube anymore. I'm not referring to his SOTY party btw, I'm talking about the video where Phelps shows up while TJ is hanging with Mark Gonzales and Strobeck at Houston St. Park. Tyshawn comes off as such a pompous turd in everything from his interviews to his instagram.
I was excited to see what he was going to do with his new board company... we waited a long time to see. Some speculated he'd expand Hardies and do a newer version of Shorty's. And then finally he comes out with KING... which, I don't need to explain how expected, egotistical and boring the name is... but additionally the roll-out of KING was so bad it forced them to immediately rebrand and take down their website logo within the first 24 hours of creating and running the page. Plus to me, the fact that he fucks with Nakel Smith so hard is a bummer all by itself.
Nakel has been a polarizing character, but now he is more than ever. He got his wannabe gangbanger friends to beat up and intimidate Lottie's Skateshop and essentially forced them to shut down. While this is in itself is a very shitty thing to do, I've also personally never been able to watch his footage because he's got such an ugly weasely mug. I can see Nakel's joker-ass becoming the next Jereme Rogers.
In interviews it has been apparent that Tyshawn is somewhat shallow or low-level thinking. Naming Hardies from a game where they punch each other "hard" is an accidental marketing genius idea, but pretty dumb in concept. I think a big part of Hardies' success is their iconic black power fist evoking logo combined with the bolt. We all gotta admit it is a sick ass logo. But what a boring ass origin story of the brand.
I think it's clear that Tyshawn wants to make money off of skateboarding and does't really care about the history. Otherwise he'd be more honored to have Phelps give him the SOTY in person, or he'd have more to say in interviews about getting the opportunity to hang out with Mark Gonzales. Gifted Hater's analysis of his switch ollie over the p table has only added to my theory that TJ is an egotripper and cares too much about clout over paying homage to any history or art or rules of skateboarding.
Because no matter how much we'd hate to admit it, there are a few rules to what flies in the skateboarding industry and what doesn't "pass the vibe-check". Never catch me saying that phrase again. But Tyshawn doesn't really feel like an authentic skateboarder to me. I think he just wants to win, win, win no matter what with money on his mind - he can't ever get enough. Which is rude IMO it's like... dude... money isn't the most important thing in the world... become humble or something maybe find Jesus like Kanye did.
In short - Tyshawn Jones is a certified asshole and a half.
Is this the worst slap take of the year?

Oh no! Looks like he’ll have to do it for a fourth time! ;D ;D ;D
Seriously though, TJ has abilities that are just unbelievable and that was amazing.
Thinking though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen 3 different versions of the same trick - different dates, times of day, outfits, setup, position of table - by the same pro for a single trick at the same spot. The cover, the controversial video one, and now the best one is just on IG. Modern times. Just showed that they just needed to move the table back for more speed and tahdah, too easy for Tyshawn. So what happens to this footage? Just lost on IG? I hope it’s in the part 2 General part as a redemption clip. Guess we’ll see.

Sounds pretty on brand for a nazi lover to say “interesting perspective”, anytime someone gives that type of leeway to any fascist bs it’s a red flag. I’ve never heard GH talk, I’d rather go skate than listen to someone pontificate on the shit, but to me this sounds like thinly veiled racism, and a lot of the takes on TJ give that same vibe

What the hell is wrong with you people? Based on what? How about some context?
A sensible question would be "interesting perspective" on what? On race issues? Well then fuck GH. But pretty sure that's not what he said. Sam Hyde is a damn comedian that says a lot of shit about a lot of things. You'd agree with some of them for sure. But I'm not defending that guy, fuck him. You're just on some Mikey Alfred shit accusing people of whatever fits you.

No, you are not the only one. As a black person, I know racism is real and is a cancer that runs through all aspects of society. However, this isn't it and IMO to claim it to be so cheapens the real struggles against racism that my ancestors fought and that we continue to fight.

Well he's definitely not a Nazi lover - he has moments where he pulls out progressive takes out of nowhere (not that progressive people can't be racist).
At best, he has good intentions but has some blind spots being a white dude. At worst, he's your everyday center-left liberal that over inflates the problem of tech censorship/de-platforming, thus he values hearing "both sides" of a debate no matter what. One of those "I don't agree with you but I'll fight for your right to say it" guys. Not that I disagree with that general sentiment, but some people believe this to a fault and can sometimes end up allowing the worst people to spread hate.
That's just the impression I've gotten from his livestreams and stuff, I don't know the guy personally so I could be wrong. That being said race had nothing to do with his criticism of Tyshawn. He criticizes everybody and Tyshawn isn't above it, but props to him for shutting everyone up.
-
Saying someone may be racist but being vague about it is definitely a slippery slope. Doesn’t seem like Tyshawn is approaching such an issue with the proper earnestness considering how big an accusation that is. Either say what it was or don’t go there.
-
Pretty lame of Tyshawn to call GH racist for questioning his trick, but maybe he was joking?
So all I saw was an IG story with a screenshot of someone else's tweet saying:
"on my knees begging skaters to acknowledge that they may have unconscious antiblack biases"
That alone was pretty cryptic, and "may have" could be operative words. I also wouldn't jump to the conclusion that was directed to GH.
Maybe I missed something. Is there another part to this where TJ explicitly mentioned GH?
-
That guy was tweeting about GH before that, so I think it's safe to assume that he was obliquely referring to him there. Of course that is patently ridiculous, since the guy has made dozens of videos about every white kook in skateboarding and his whole thing was "Tyshawn is incredible and I know we can get a better version of this trick."

HE DIDNT DO THE WHOLE THING DO IT AGAIN AND MAKE A KICKFLIP
(https://i.imgur.com/pabDbzY.png)
everybody that says he didnt clear the whole thing is stupid af.
such a sick trick
never said it wasnt a sick trick
he just didnt ollie over the whole thing
he ollied in between
8)
do a kickgflip i know you can do it
stupid af
explain curren
is it because transition is rad and sick dude
its because you have to approach it at an angle to even have a chance to make it over the bench.
bringing up the tfunk ollie in this thread and comparing it to the tyshawn switch ollie is just stupid
two completly different things, both super sick for what they are.
not stupid because nobody questioned if he actually did the whole thing when he just didnt either on footage.
get the angle earlier or just dont say he cleared the whole thing
sick trick but he didnt do the whole thing
to me thyshawns ollie counted
im just not the skateboarding police as you and that asshole gifted hater are
??? youre not the police but brought up the tfunk ollie
it alright tho, we leave it at that
im a skateboarding prosecutor that pops up when you shit talk

Pretty lame of Tyshawn to call GH racist for questioning his trick, but maybe he was joking?
The only weird vibe I've gotten from GH is when he was talking about Sam Hyde on a livestream and he said something like "I don't agree with everything he says but he has interesting perspective".
For anybody that doesn't know, Sam Hyde is a comedian who does alt-right edgy humor. He's done a Reddit AMA where he repeated Great Replacement talking points, and has donated to the legal defense fund of a neo Nazi.
Anyone who says that lowkey agrees with some alt-right stuff but is too chicken shit to admit it. And there is a lot of anti-blackness in skating, hell in America in general. Just look at the Will Smith thing. Hollywood has protected abusers for years, Will slaps Chris Rock (someone who always attacks Black women) and they act like he went up there and murdered him. Black folks are held to a different standard.
GH is lame anyway. I don’t understand why anyone would listen to a random give his opinion on skateboarding. I’d rather hear pros talk about it. But this society does love to prop up mediocre white dudes so it’s not shocking. Kinda reminds me of that Needledrop dude. Why should I care about a white dude’s opinion on Black art? 😅

Your points are fine but your take on the will smith slap is kinda off. It's that will exposed himself as a pathetic kook. Wouldn't matter who he got up and slapped the result would be the same. Wouldn't matter if it was still Chris Rock but will smith was replaced by someone else and they reacted the same way they would be held to the exact same standard. It's been months and nobody gives a gram of shit that Chris Rock got slapped it's just now everyone thinks will smith is a joke.
As to why anyone cares about gh I'm guessing it's just a bunch of 14 year olds really. Don't know a single adult who can get past two minutes of him.

gifted hater is a man who acts like hes cool with plenty of gay people in crop tops who skate but cant look at a hetero man in a crop top without having to point out how whack it is immediately because he cant stop cringing.
he def acts more open minded than his subconscious self is.
he alway knows what the accepted opinion on popular topics are and is smart enough to know how to handle them.
ive known people that were like we're so down with different cultures but as soon as somebody made a racist joke about them they wouldnt stop laughing and say how bad this is and wrong but so fcking funny omg

me too, I try to be nice to people even if I think they’re shit. How is this wrong?

its not the same to try to be nice to shitty people and acting open minded but being racist deep down.
he bought a trump hat on stream
and its not even funny imo
to me he seems like the typical south park watcher. at times racist and always up to date but not political.

In skateboarding, everybody can get it. I care about the tricks and style. That's it. Just do cool tricks and makes them look cool and proper. Of course choose camera angles wisely so we can avoid debates like this.

Paywall plus bad/risky filming style with no alternative angles as collateral. I really think most of the tricks don't have a proper sense of context/scale due to how they were filmed.

It’s not in there. I looked up the actual part though and he does do it. I’m too lazy to learn how to post YouTube vids so you’ll have to look up Foundation WTF.

The problem is that 95% of Louie's tricks could be done by a wide variety of other skaters.

Yep, 100% the angle, I fucking hate almost every stair/rail trick filmed from this angle because you just really can’t appreciate what is happening.

Switch 360 flip nosegrind*. I wouldn’t consider Tyshawn a rail chomper but I wouldn’t be surprised if he could do any rail you put him in front of. I don’t see him seeking out the biggest rail to 5050 or boardslide, his parts seem a little more curated. For instance the Switch Ollie over to nosegrind the NYC playground rail in The General was sick and not something you see in any given part.

So you're saying to be SOTY, you need to be good at everything: manuals, rails, gaps, transition, etc.
then why did Daveeed, Milton or Suciu win SOTY?
I understand in your opinion, SOTY should be more well-rounded. But you clearly just see TJ as just a "flatground" and "pops high" kind of skater. Like I said, if you seriously view him as just that kind of skater, you need to re-watch all his footage, come back, and tell me this again.

"Literally" was misused so much that it's meaning changed. I've heard now both uses are correct.

My criticism is your use of it (it's nothing personal against you as it's a generational thing/product of the digital age but it's also a huge pet peeve of mine). Traditionally a curator is one who has care/superintendence of a museum/gallery or other place of exhibit, it is extremely involved, detail oriented and difficult work. There is an insanely large gap between what a museum curator does relative to time/effort/training/expertise vs. someone selecting clips for a skate video part, selecting songs from the internet for a playlist, putting together a menu at a small cafe ect. The modern use of the verb curate is an attempt by people to elevate/add value to things that don't take all that much effort (and sounds super fucking corny to boot, Jenkem is a serial offender). Despite being from the New York Times (which has been in steady decline for years quality-wise) this article does a decent job of explaining in more detail-

My criticism is your use of it (it's nothing personal against you as it's a generational thing/product of the digital age but it's also a huge pet peeve of mine). Traditionally a curator is one who has care/superintendence of a museum/gallery or other place of exhibit, it is extremely involved, detail oriented and difficult work. There is an insanely large gap between what a museum curator does relative to time/effort/training/expertise vs. someone selecting clips for a skate video part, selecting songs from the internet for a playlist, putting together a menu at a small cafe ect. The modern use of the verb curate is an attempt by people to elevate/add value to things that don't take all that much effort (and sounds super fucking corny to boot, Jenkem is a serial offender). Despite being from the New York Times (which has been in steady decline for years quality-wise) this article does a decent job of explaining in more detail-

(https://i.giphy.com/media/3eT8JVJg4P79QCZgbJ/giphy.gif)
I feel like everyone talking shit needs to go back and watch his Blessed part
I pointed this out in another thread because some fool said "he doesn skate rails as well as other pros
I said he's not the conversation as one of the best rail skaters and he isn't and said there are a bunch of pros better than him at rails and there are.
One trick don't change that. So guy is one of the best rail skaters cuz he switch tre'd fakie 5-0'd one? Guess people haven't seen what's been going down on rails for years..
Switch 360 flip nosegrind*. I wouldn’t consider Tyshawn a rail chomper but I wouldn’t be surprised if he could do any rail you put him in front of. I don’t see him seeking out the biggest rail to 5050 or boardslide, his parts seem a little more curated. For instance the Switch Ollie over to nosegrind the NYC playground rail in The General was sick and not something you see in any given part.

It's not often you hear or read people say "curated" but the word "literally" is misused over 1 million times minimum every day for a long while now.
"Literally" was misused so much that it's meaning changed. I've heard now both uses are correct.
@h00man people forget Daveed actually was good at literally everything (see what I did there)
I always enjoy reading your replies to my dumb posts. You're a good dude.

Select, organize, and present (online content). That definition was from Oxford Dictionaries website. I’ll admit I’m not the best writer or speaker. Are you criticizing the word or my use of it? Either way TJ’s parts are usually diverse and show him skating many different spots.

Traditionally a curator is one who has care/superintendence of a museum/gallery or other place of exhibit, it is extremely involved, detail oriented and difficult work.

Man the filming on the tre flip and the kickflip did those tricks no justice. Atiba saved the day giving those tricks the perspective they deserved. Loved the noseblunt up the pyramid ledge.
I don't blame him for the bondo on the bumps, hitting those bumps and ejecting into the third rail is not worth it. And any skater filming with ty or billy should set up a second angle on their own from here on out.

Why the hell would they choose that angle for the kickflip over the subway tracks? Made it look so underwhelming
-
Half of it was just more trash can antics in front of the preme store. switch bigflip board was great and there were about 6 other tricks that got me but it felt like so much filler. We all have seen dude jump over the side of the same cans a hundred times now and it’s not entertaining or new at all.
Part was kind of soft for a soty swing.

nah that was at the one he nollie heeled in something a couple years ago. I know sage impossibled it too, but the dude that filmed it deleted the clip by accident and now the spot is perma skate stopped.
There was also a Nollie Tre Flip over a rail into a bank that I think only was a sequence in a mag. I think Tyshawn's instagram said the filmed messed up or something.
The next part is probably like a 10 minute intro with Tyshawn, Zach, NaKel and whomever is going to be announced. Maybe not a full part? That's not based on anything, just my guess.

wtffff where is this part?

did he actually call GH racist?

I watched his "play dead" part last night that someone leaked. It's fire.

wtffff where is this part?
There was a handycam version posted up which, because again, Bill reads Slap, he had immediately taken down. I didn't watch it, I cannot imagine it's worth spoiling the video for. It goes up tomorrow on supreme[/member]]Supreme's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/[member=7578).

i just went back to the interview and i 1000% imagined the nollie tre over the rail woops
Don't have the mag in front of me but from memory was it the contents page spread?

Does anyone else think there’s a lowkey thing between tyshawn and kyle wilson? after watching tyshawns skating over the last couple years i was thinking if there’s anyone doing something similar and the only person i could think of was kyle wilson. it kind of seems like they’ve gone back and forth if you look at their clips, kyle switch ollied 4 cans infront of tyshawns face at an adidas event, kyle also ollied those train tracks in beyond the 3rd wave
sw ollie in tyshawns face @ 0:33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6IFDvIdync
ollie over the tracks @ 5:51 https://youtu.be/Jm63skCJUiw
it’s a different spot but looks like he ollied over the blind bumps to me
id love if there could be an actual beef and not the one i made up in my head so we’d get some insane skating out of it

Maybe there's beef but that was a Euro rail with no rats or raw sewage and probably not early 20th century exposed third rail designs so it's not quite the same level of gnarly

just rewatched tyshawn's 'play dead' part for the 4th/5th time.
the filming just gets worse and worse.
first time i've been genuinely upset by a part.
these are groundbreaking tricks that should be seared into skate history forever. all we're asking is to be able to see them - for someone, in this age where absolutely everything is fucking filmed, to just point a camera at the tricks for the sake of posterity. and bill just couldn't be fucking bothered.
honestly wondering if there's some element of deliberate sabotage. like does bill actually not like tyshawn or something?
if i was on violet, i'd be quitting right now lol.

not defending any filming choices but trying to pass judgement on camera work from a camera-phone bootleg where the screen is constantly cropped/obscured by other attendees is ironic to say the least

Saw the kickflip on twitter. They need to find a way to fire the filmer, or just not invite him to film because the filming for the kickflip felt so bland. Made it just seem like any other trick. Fuck that guy, jfc, I’m mad about it.

Tyshawn better have 6+ minutes of his best stuff, filmed not by bill, coming out in another part soon if he is objectively to deserve soty. Louie was my pick/favorite this year but Nyjah’s is the best right now.

I'm a huge fan of people ripping shit, especially when they are behind a paywall. I'm well aware of the arguments against it, but personally, it makes no difference to me. With that said, the part was good. Tyshawn has some incredible pop for having toothpick legs. He has a very good chance of snagging another SOTY win

Was interested in this, apparently alot of third rails have insulating material around it so you don't die if you accidentally touch it. Additionally, if he did step the rail itself, he could avoid being fried if he wasn't touching anything else at the time, kind of like how birds don't get roasted when they perch on power lines. Normal shoes would def not help if he made a path to ground though so don't try this irl

Yeah I’m tripping there was a crazy one at the end of some 411 that was over 20 too. Mis-remembering the hype from the time…they made a big deal of the 20 thing but it was really no biggy.

Dyrdek BS - he coud skate it like everyone else without
permit and a big movie Szene.
It’s clear he was not able to skate the real rail- and he have done the typical DC/ Berra / Alien Workshop /Dyrdek move - and build a perfect skatepark set up in the street for creating commercial content.
It’s ok - it was one of the heavier moves from Dyrdek - and 20 stairs are 20 stairs - even if the bought permission to skate it -and stairs & rail are perfect.
But don’t hide behind your bought permission, that you need to cover the rail. Covering was in Dyrdeks interest.

He literally made fun of Mark Suciu for doing exactly what Tyshawn just did. He didn’t say his name but in the thrasher interview he said he hates how dudes wait til the end of the year to drop parts to win soty. Only skater I know who has done that is Suciu. Mason Silva won it the year before with parts early in the year. Tyshawn then does the exact formula Suciu did.

Suciu took it to the next level, but Foy dropped his big part with that Ty video in his SOTY year, Kyle Walker's part was near the end of the year, etc. Ishod's Chronicles part dropped in like late November/early December. It's been like this for almost a decade. And, if you are seriously in the running and have stacked footage, I'm sure most sponsors/Thrasher would push for you to drop it even if you could save it 6 months longer and make an even more memorable part. Last people who's heavy parts I can remember dropping in the first half of the year and winning are Ave and Wes.

Wes was the last skater to win it who wasn’t backed by the financial clout of a global mega corporation.

i know it's quality over quantity, but in that 'kingdom come' part you can count the tricks on your fingers.
should've just thrown the clips into 'the general' and made that one hit a bit harder, imo.
100%. Plus for your last part to not really have an ender ender like the table switch ollie, not a great look. High rewatchability though, and hoping this is the start of him putting out parts more frequently (hopefully without fat bill ruining everything)
Suciu took it to the next level, but Foy dropped his big part with that Ty video in his SOTY year, Kyle Walker's part was near the end of the year, etc. Ishod's Chronicles part dropped in like late November/early December. It's been like this for almost a decade. And, if you are seriously in the running and have stacked footage, I'm sure most sponsors/Thrasher would push for you to drop it even if you could save it 6 months longer and make an even more memorable part. Last people who's heavy parts I can remember dropping in the first half of the year and winning are Ave and Wes.
Wes was the last skater to win it who wasn’t backed by the financial clout of a global mega corporation.
DC was owned by a pretty large publicly traded company. Although, I think he's the last skater to win it who didn't have a single DLX sponsor. DC was spending like crazy around then. I think the last person to win without being on a big shoe company was Foy (but Redbull was pushing him) and prior to that Leo.

Big bench for the win. Should be no contest. Unless someone kickfliped it since.
Thrasher China Banks SF. It's done deal in my opinion.

Also what's up up with the cheerleaders after every clip. It was like a reverse DC Dyrdek commercial.
https://youtu.be/_q55xFNKHxs
lol I noticed that as well. I'm generally fine with people cheering after certain tricks when watching a part, but it was literally after every single clip.
I should have probably put this in the nine club thread, but I found it hilarious that Dyrdek had to put a square cap on that rail in order to grind it.
From memory.... I'm pretty sure for the filming permit they weren't allowed to scratch the rail and had to cover it or that was the story anyway.
Dyrdek BS - he coud skate it like everyone else without
permit and a big movie Szene.
It’s clear he was not able to skate the real rail- and he have done the typical DC/ Berra / Alien Workshop /Dyrdek move - and build a perfect skatepark set up in the street for creating commercial content.
It’s ok - it was one of the heavier moves from Dyrdek - and 20 stairs are 20 stairs - even if the bought permission to skate it -and stairs & rail are perfect.
But don’t hide behind your bought permission, that you need to cover the rail. Covering was in Dyrdeks interest.
Okay.. but he still did it regardless
He talks about the DC commercial on his Nine Club. Kelly brought up the same rumor and asked if he had to cover the rail due to permits or not scratching the rail. Rob laughed and said thanks for making him feel good but truth was the biggest rail he had done before that was like a 8-10 stair. Took 3 tries, said the kickflip too way longer. He’s pretty honest about his skating in the podcast.

Tyshawns bitch ass already robbed Evan Smith in 2018 (The real SOTY that year)
He still hasn't released anything that's given me near as big a chub as Carlisle, T funk, Deedz, Spank, Nyjah, or Nick Garcia.
I don't think Robbed is the right word, but he definitely had a career year. A really really great year... apparently he was out half of the year with a foot injury too. Makes it even more crazy.

Not gonna lie, the tricks are gnarly as fuck, but fat bill fumbled on the one yard line with the subway kickflip and despite how hard as hell it is to skate to ether, I think the Hardies part and the new king part being cut up is diluting the end result. Especially after tj complained about suciu doing the same thing. Doesn't have the same punch that a more tightly edited combo first half Hardies, second half king part could have hit.

I’ll throw my two cents in and say LL never stood and still never stands a chance bc he’s “predictable” and safe in the eyes of SOTY. Skating is impeccable and the fits are modern greatness, but, he’s never pushing the boundary of previous SOTY awards. He doesn’t fit the award on multiple spectrums and I don’t intend this post to take away from what he’s contributed to skateboarding or the SOTY debate but its just not “thrasher” enough.

I think Nyjah will still get it but in five years the only videos from this year that will still be inspiring are TFunks two vids. Some other rail champ will one up Nyjah and Tyshawns vids are filmed so weirdly that they’ll age poorly. TFunks are classic- good songs, good filming, great, creative tricks at iconic spots I hope TFunk gets it.

Does anyone else think there’s a lowkey thing between tyshawn and kyle wilson? after watching tyshawns skating over the last couple years i was thinking if there’s anyone doing something similar and the only person i could think of was kyle wilson. it kind of seems like they’ve gone back and forth if you look at their clips, kyle switch ollied 4 cans infront of tyshawns face at an adidas event, kyle also ollied those train tracks in beyond the 3rd wave
sw ollie in tyshawns face @ 0:33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6IFDvIdync
ollie over the tracks @ 5:51 https://youtu.be/Jm63skCJUiw
it’s a different spot but looks like he ollied over the blind bumps to me
id love if there could be an actual beef and not the one i made up in my head so we’d get some insane skating out of it

Im more of a tyshawn fan, but just rewatched the nyjah part. Thats gotta be some of the highest level street skating ever released in 1 go.
-
i would say that the fact alone that nyjah has learned from the past and fired the filmer, despite the filmer's legacy and prestige, who has filmed nyjah's gnarly tricks in an unappealing way, deserves respect and makes nyjah someow even more of a "skater" (of the year). There was certainly some politics and also breach of contract, and so on involved, to stand up for himself.
Tyshawn isn't there yet as he is still letting Bill ruin his footage. because image, supreme-connection, etc. is still more important to him than letting his tricks and his skateboarding stand as a timeless testament for him.
is just a thought that in my opinion speaks for nyjah as SOTY.
-
Going back and looking at Tyshon footage I can see why Jake picked him as SOTY.
I'm kinda surprised that the board bland took so long. This kid is driven

So you're saying Chris Cole was not safe and predictable? I feel like the vast majority of SOTY winners were in some way.

I think it would’ve been better for him to put all that footage from the “king skateboards” part into his part in “play dead” I mean sure, the way both those parts were filmed (angles, fish eye, lines, etc) are completely different but im sure there would’ve been a way to make the edit work with the different styles of filming. Also, there has to be some other angles of the subway kickflip…. I just can’t fathom that angle in “play dead” being the only angle it was filmed from. I know that if I was TJ I would be super bummed if that was the only angle the kickflip was filmed from.. it Definitely seems like something you’d want to have atleast 1 or 2 other filmers for different angles.
Also, I think it would’ve been even a better idea if tyshawn would’ve used all of his footage from “the general” part, the “king skateboards” part and his supreme part for one single video part and maybe just used only the trash can lines for a shorter part in the supreme video. I think that would’ve been more entertaining to watch if it had been just one long video part, that’s just my opinion, I’d love to see an edit with all of his footage he’s put out recently as one single video part, if you were to put all that footage together in one long part it would’ve been a lot better, that’s just my opinion at least. Either way, all the footage he put out in those 3 parts was so good.

Haha! That’s an awesome, zoomed to hell and back perspective had he been the one to film J wray’s water tower gap Ollie. Imagine being freaked the fuck out, risking life and limb ollieing that sketchy ass thing , only to find out that this was the angle it had been filmed from?!?
I enjoy a lot of strobek’s filming and the way he goes about different filming angles and I truly think that he’s an amazing filmer. But some of the clips he’s filmed in the past 3 supreme videos have left me feeling very confused as to why he chose certain perspectives and angles to film from

backside reacharound with the ultimate backside reacharound, wacking off bill for that absolutely botched angle and giving him validation for it, nice job
he does make the gap look small in the alternate angle but i don’t think it makes it look unimpressive, it’s more of a testament to how fucked up his pop is that he can just blast a kickflip that high and far

yo, the video came out and everyone piled on the big boy because the footage didn't show the gap the way the cover did... but now that the alternate angles are out, and they suck (including the one that shows the gap straight on), i'm not above giving the man his due... his was the best angle, by far, and makes the trick look the heaviest... thems the facts

The atiba angle is the one. Everything looks huge like it is and it makes the kickflip look good. That first alternate angle makes the kickflip look low and far from his feet plus it is still too zoomed in to grasp the scale of the gap.

This is my issue. It would be one of those "no, trust me it's huge, I've been there" clips if it was just filmed bad and there wasn't a way to film it better.
But we already have the proof it's possible from some random no names, and that's why I was bummed.
I don't want to dogpile anymore. I just wish there was a bit more humility and humbleness in the way these videos were shot and edited.
Bill created a style everyone is biting. That's great, that's innovation. Now elevate it by refining it. You've made your "statement" with the extremes, now show that you can tastefully integrate it with all of you other techniques better than anyone else. We know he's got it in him, and I think that's why everyone gives him a hard time.

Both Ty and Bill's styles went to shit when they discovered HD cameras. Both filmed iconic shit well before they discovered those. Once they got full control over things, it got messy. Someone at Alien or Habitat would probably have told Bill that's not how we want our skaters filmed. At Supreme/Violet he doesn't have that filter.

Hot take: Tyshawn first began making his mind up about leaving FA during the Jason Dill Epicly Later'd ep. The Elijah Berle pickup/SOTY run was the nail in the coffin. I'd be annoyed too.
