tell us how you know dude

someone in the industry told me. He has no board prospects yet. but i guess he wasn't meshing with the Toy team.. big surprise there...

[close]

I have an inside source that told me when a bunch of Toy guys went to Baltimore to turn Myles pro everyone stayed at Myles parents house and crashed in the basement, Dashawn requested a hotel room.

I will also say that I met him at the after party and he was the nicest dude without a doubt.

And I will also say I don't hold anything against him for wanting a hotel room. We did a trip recently with the shop I ride for and the owner paid for a hotel room and everyone was invited. I'm old, I'm not sleeping on a floor, I am going to sleep when I want to go to sleep. I paid for my own room.

So not only does Tum Yeto not pay teamriders, they don’t put them up in hotels either?

I don’t blame him at all. You don’t know who snores or farts in their sleep. You also don’t want Ed Templeton taking pictures of you while you sleep.

I can wait for someone to confirm this

I don't think Toy was refusing to pay for hotels for everyone else. I think that Myles was going to stay with his parents and a bunch of the team is super close and stayed in Myles childhood home with him. Sort of like how people crash at Dan Lu's parents house when they are passing through there.

I get it. Some people just need their space.

If you're going to start a thread speculating on this, spell his name correctly and mention how he was skating a blank board in his last IG post

[close]

I had a realization watching this. Hes just Tommy fynn 2.0. Super generic ripper with an overused bag of tricks.

[close]

i dont really see any similarities between them other then they are both black.

Dashawn Jordan is grinding up handrails, i would say he is closer to brandon westgate / leo romero than tommy fynn. hardly anyone else is doing that and those other 2 i named are absolute legends and top of the game.

the way he does laser flip is actually really nice i dont really understand the hate. its a 360 flip that goes in the opposite direction and flips the opposite way. no one else is doing them nice like the way he does them. he basically invented a new way to do the trick, kinda like how bryan herman started doing hardflips and everyone started doing them "properly" all of a sudden after that. or how penny / reynolds started shiftying their kickflips.

he also has really good fs 270 to board i guess that is kind of a generic trick but still the way he does it is definintely different because he lands to regular - he has a really good fs 360 in general which is also not that common to see.

Being black is the only similarity I was thinking of…
You are way off the mark with Leo or westgate. Grinding up rails is not uncommon these days.

Him and fynn are both jockey contest dudes, with their go to tricks but don’t really have much to bring to the table otherwise. Both very talented but just boring.

Oh we know

Would krooked be a weird fit? I dunno why but it keeps popping into my head. I think there's a reason he's on TM, maybe it fits his personality better than say King or whatever. That said krooked seems in a similar vein in certain ways to TM but has less of the baggage that comes with TMs current reputation. 

[POWPOWPOWERWHEELS]

He was riding an April deck in sls

[Kook Me Amadeus]

Would krooked be a weird fit?

Respectfully, yes. 

I thought we established in one of the other Dashawn threads that the man is on April?

[TheWineClub]

I heard he thinks he’s more valuable than he actually is

[jgonzalez]

Should we take issue with him or the ****** negotiating his deals. Circa wallet?

[swellbowed]

[bohemian]

he is perfect for this ugly dressing no style skateboard team.

[kook1234]

thanks for this.  I love a good music video

[Esquivel]

Had never heard his music before but holy shit. This was some next level wack, with the voice reminiscing of an imbred baby. Does he sound like that when he speaks in real life or is it some autotune variant? My girlfriend was watching some teenage Brazilian series on Netflix and all the music sounded like that Dashawn tune, super embarrassing.

[WorldsbestWeedsm0ker]

I’m surprised he isn’t on like blind or birdhouse. The whole pro skater / pop star thing to me isn’t my cup of tea - but one should do what they want with there life
 I j wish toy machine would become a dope cohesive team again.

[Coastal Fever]

Yeah I’m trying really hard to be less judgemental, but you can see it in the eyes of everyone in that video, Dashawn included, they all know exactly how corny it is.  Just absolute bottom of the barrel, materialistic, fake it till you make it, LA wannabe influencer bullshit.  For “art” that’s supposed to represent joy, it’s some of the most vapid, soulless, depressing I’ve ever seen or heard.   All the comments gassing him up makes it even worse.

April makes sense. He always strikes me like he's still trying to find his identity so a brand without one is perfect.

[augustmoon]

He looks like the type of dude that would come to your school to try to recruit you into the army

[manysnakes]

Impressively bad. At 1:44, it was engineered specifically for use in shitty TikTok and Instagram lifestyle clips. Just terrible, what a pile of shit.

[Wienerboy]

Can't listen at the moment as I'm at work. Looks bad, but does it sound better or worse than Nakel's raps?

At least Deshawn seems to be a better and nicer person than Nakel.

But overall I'm asking the question.... "Why?"

He sounds like Jeremy Casanova, both must be using a similar squeaky-voice special effect.

I'm ok with Ed photographing me in my sleep. So long as he doesn't use the photo for evil and I get a box or something like that after the photo goes viral

At least a copy of the photo in a cool lil frame.

I'm ok with people taking my picture all the time now. Before it could lead to conflict.

When I was younger I couldn't even look in the mirror.

It’s stupid auto tune being used incorrectly like all the rest of the cool people that can’t actually sing or do anything in tune like to use nowadays. It’s pure garbage.

LSD bud. It's not for everyone. I got about 200 hrs of maxro dosing with nothing but a mirror
