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.
what a ridiculous thing to say. he won soty

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=114987.0What 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=114561.0Or 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=116605.0That'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.
