TJ has been officially crowned SOTY 2018. Do you feel this was deserved?
-
Best rider I've seen...best rider I've seen.
-
This is good.
-
All the way
-
Hell yeah! I was just thinking the other day how the east coast is blowing up in skating right now, and here we have an NYC Mr. Skateboarder 2018.
-
lots of things I think people are thinking rn:
1. It’s crazy to think this is only SOTY number 2 that’s actually on adidas at the time of the nom other then Silas.
2. Dylan was the greatest skater of this decade bar none. Thrasher snubbed him for years even though whether u like it or not he basically defined what skating is now more then any other pro. He was every skaters favorite skater. Tyshawn winning feels like the perfect nod to not only TJ but what he represents with that crew, which is something special and I think everyone knows it.
3. The east coast has been snubbed for years by thrasher, this feels like a great step in the right direction.
4. Thrasher is going to make motherfucking bank off this shit with supreme collabs and what not and bringing supreme “to the city”.
5. This ends the reign of Soty rail chompers of Kyle walker and Jamie foy, refreshing.
-
Honestly had given up hope and thought Evan had this. Surprised thrasher made the right choice. You already know his footage will be timeless
-
^^ yes everything in the last couple posts. Love that it’s an NYC, non big handrail kid. I’m also pretty surprised, I expected Evan too.
-
I Voted!
-
I haven't cared for the SOTY gimmick for quite a while but that aside I'm really happy that Tyshawn is getting recognized like this.
-
Congratulations !!!
-
Feels so right, very satisfied to see this!
That reveal video Thrasher put up was pretty weak though, and if Evan really turned it down first that’s some trippy shit.
-
Well that announcement video certainly took any whiff of excitement out of the award
-
It was either him or Evan, all signs were pointed to Evan but I ain't mad at the decision. Stoked for him specially because hes only 19 and is not stopping anytime soon. Video was a little awkward but I mean its Phelps trying to vibe with a 19 year old east coast skater, it probably couldn't have gone any better than that. Also I do like that we've been hearing for years that you just cant get footage in NYC yet TJ gets all his footage from there exclusively. This helps prove that you cant blame the east coast for your lack of motivation.

Or that's what makes his part so impressive?
-
It's actually impossible to get footage in NYC the ground is made of loose rubble and it's negative a bunch of degrees year round
-
wonder why the other thread got locked?? ???
i was torn between him or evan, good choice though. evan will probably put out another 3 video parts next year and get robbed again but that's okay at this point. like someone else said, i'm glad it's not another handrail chomper finally (zion)

No yeah I think that's sick, I feel like TJ can probably get footage anywhere he is taken.

Dylan. out here cosigning niggas into SOTY from beyond the grave.

Literally thought it was going to be Zion. Really wanted Tyson to win, but this is good too.

TJ deserved it big time, glad he won it over a rail chimper

I don’t think he got robbed, I think he has to be the dude who supposedly turned it down. I hope it’s not true that someone else was the first choice, solely because that kind of dulls the moment for Tyshawn which honestly kind of sucks for him. But I don’t know why Reynolds would lie about something like that either, or say something like that unless he knew it to be true.

if anything someone turned down the nomination. I don't think any of evan's sponsors would let him turn down soty.

Thrasher picks whoever they feel like winning. Nobody in their right mind could possibly think he put out the best and most consistent footage this year.

Thought I was wilding for a sec. I love TJ and what he brings with his skating but Evan has been a machine the last 2 years.
I haven't seen blessed so maybe that might just change my mind for whatever reason but I doubt it. I just don't get how someone can drop part after part of elite level ATV skating and get snubbed TWICE.

I am baffled by this as well. I could see Evan turning it down. That dude does not need a trophy. He can do whatever he wants on a skateboard.

Good to see someone on the east coast get it. Just a question - is there any footage of Tyshawn skating tranny? Can he? I’d like to see a King of The Road style challenge before he can get the trophy. He has to do a backside air and an invert.
-
Very good, he is worthy. Youngest SoTY ever?
-
Well deserved. Kid shreds
-
Cool for him, but that was probably more of a statement: " we are with the cool guys ".
Any of the 8 dudes who were on the running up were absolutely amazing and crushed it this year
( Oski and Milton especially in my eyes ) but it's down to what does Thrasher needs right now.
As much as I remember it being gnarly, I can't recall a trick from TJ's part in blessed due to the shitty "product placement" filming fat bill does these days.
Like someone mentioned in another thread the ollie over the can into the courthouse is fucked and hardly understandable. Hopefully they'll get someone else to film the SOTY trip.

Not knocking off the skateboarding, it's fucked up and incredibly good.
The editing? yeah, it sucked and I feel that the combination of filming and editing didn't do it for me.
I would have loved to see that part not after an hour of slo-mos on Sean Pablo's face and edited by someone else.
That's all, TJ talent is undeniable.

Switch 360 flip there is the most fucked up thing. For decades people had to resort to tow-ins to exceptionally try and huck themselves down that shit and the best, most legendary trick done there was a frontside nollie (Florentin Marfaing I believe? I'm tired and need more coffee). Walking up that set you'd literally laugh to yourself in disbelief about the idea of someone trying and making a frontside nollie down it. It's doesn't even feel like a possible double set when you stand at its top, the second part feels as unattainable and foreign as some lone island in the horizon. People have been slaying that spot over the past years now but sw 360 flip or really any sw / nollie flip trick down that shit is something else.

What if TJ originally turned down SOTY because he’s one super fucking classy dude? But didnt check with his sponsors first so when they heard they were like “Dude you cant turn this down, we already have a whole product/marketing line for next year”. Maybe thats why the IG vid looks so faked and forced because Thrasher, Supreme, FA, and Adidas knew they would collectively make a fuckload of money collabing/repping him in 2019.

Dude it was awkward because Tyshawn is 19 and grew up skating in a city where if someone who looks like Phelps approaches you in a park they are about to expose themselves to you.
-
As long as Strokbek isn't filming the SOTY trip, I think it will be alright. I wonder where they will go

Just rewatched his Blessed part to see if I was missing anything. It was 39 tricks, 1/4 of which were flatground. Roughly 2 minutes of actual skating. SOTY? Ok....

What does a mythological race from Salvatore/Forgotten Realms have to do with this? Durags live in the Underdark dude.
Obscure jokes aside: You arent serious are you? Thats a lame ass hill to choose to die on. TJ has more class rocking a Du-Rag then I do rocking my work hat to keep my hair from burning at my job.

Loved these calculations, can we get some more data to compare? Maybe like, cumulative stair count or number of degrees rotated and we can compare it to everyone else's video parts? Only than will we know who truly deserves to be SOTY...
Good to see someone on the east coast get it. Just a question - is there any footage of Tyshawn skating tranny? Can he? I’d like to see a King of The Road style challenge before he can get the trophy. He has to do a backside air and an invert.
I, too, would like to see some KOTR challenges before I'm convinced Tyshawn's footage output this year was top-notch. Maybe we can get him to smear shit on his leg and film a trick, so we know he's really down for the mag?

It was a perplexing choice, there's no other way to put it.
Speaking for myself, the award feels a lot less special now.
-
Somebody wrote on this thread that Dylan r was the "best skater of the decade" and that "thrasher snubbed him". First of all fuck thrasher and also Dylan isn't the "best skater" of a whole decade of skating on planet earth. Sorry.
-
Can somebody give a rundown on how Tyshawn actually did this year as whole? How much and what did he put out?
Usually I can agree with SOTY picks, however this year it seems simple availability bias comes into play. Just happened that Tyshawn was able to put out bonkers footy most recently and he is vivid in our memory.
Speaking for myself, the award feels a lot less special now.
Yep. :(

Phelps looks so out of place in NYC, like he inadvertently wandered out of a retirement home.

I feel like the hype surrounding supreme fa etc almost out weighs anything anyone else has put out this year purely due to the fact that is what’s popular and what’s cool. No doubt tyshawn is a great skater, but he could of won soty in the years to come of his career. he put out a great part but really for amount of hype I would of expected more footage from him this year. the amount of cringy posts that strobeck does almost makes these things feel like a popularity contest, dude needs to chill out on that.. and for blessed, tyshawn and rowans parts felt like the only real skating the whole 80 mins, watching ppl smoking weed with a fisheye is fucking lame, 40 year old men should realise this. assuming it was Evan who turned down soty, that is a true sign of character of a humble human who doesn’t need such accolades next to his name, I respect that. Not taking anything away from tyshawns win cos he’s killing it, I just feel hype outweighs hard work sometimes
-
pleasantly surprised by the decision. definitely thought that the powers that be would have made it worth thrasher's while for going an alternate route.
posting a pic with zion's dad in a thrasher hat as a last-ditch campaign effort? i see you clements.

TJ winning is a good move for all of skateboarding
The guy oozes style and works with a lot of basics and fundamentals, which really is what makes great skateboarding.
He can do mind-blowing stuff but he can also make a 5-0 on a ledge look super gnarly.
-
Everyone was calling him SOTY 2 months before Blessed came out. Then it was released, had 2 minutes of him skating and they had to stick to their guns. He's a great skater, tons of style, great trick selection but that 2 minutes of skating does not warrant SOTY.
-
Brian Clemens gives off the creepiest vibes.
Kinda cool to see a young kid getting it 2 years in a row like back-in-the-day. Seems silly that someone needs to wait until they're 25 to win a skateboard award or 37 or whatever AVE was.
-
Other than temporal proximity, there's no reason to think Andrew Reynold's was referring to this year's SOTY, as opposed to a past year's, but I'd like to know the truth. TJ seems like a clear second place to Evan, at least in terms of output. Did Evan turn down Thrasher? Did he not want people to think he won partially for eating a turd? On the other hand, the business/fashion angle works in TJ's favor. Cool factor goes to the guy who didn't eat a turd.

I agree. What did TJ even do for Thrasher this year, his cover says January 2019 on it? And why is Thrasher assuming everyone even saw the video. I didnt buy it. It wasnt on the Thrasher website. Where the fuck should i have seen this video. At the last moments he drops a video thats not even for the mag and gets the award? Thrasher is sucking Supreme FA dick really hard on this choice.
If you cant beat 'em, join 'em. Im buying a durag.
-
I back it, first SOTY since AVE that didn’t skate a kink rail all year?
-
Can't take SOTY seriously when someone wins putting out far less footage and coverage then other deserving skaters. Seems like a random East Coast marketing thing this time around. Not Even counting Evan guys like Joslin who I don't even really care for put out quadruple the footage and hammers this year never mind the last few years which is like 10x the footage.
-
Appreciate the fresh move on from the rail chompers
Tyshawn wasn't my first pick, but you can't deny he's done some incredible shit this year.
-
tiago should have won.
, tj is good, but he's a modern day Kareem, and Kareem was never close to soty.
seems like thrasher is just trying to get in with the cool guys at supreme.
that Instagram video with phelps presenting the award was cringe, Phelps has Aspergers

Also does anyone even remember literally any SOTY award in the 2010's, before Instagram became a thing? Quality >> Quantity. I'd honestly rather see someone kill themselves for one fucked up video part than be desensitized to their footage based on how much has been put out.
Plus Even ate dog shit.

Poor joslin.
Skated 37 hours a day, films 800 parts and puts out w minutes of gnarly footy every week and hes not evan in the running.
Hes destined for a transworld award in 20 years.
Stoked for tj but evan should a got it IMO, or joslin. But that doesnt make sense, business wise.
Thrasher just cashed in on supreme. I hope supreme doeant bite and makes fuck you thrasher hoodies for $800

Since everyone seems to have selective memory when it comes to Tyshawn's output this year, here's what he did beyond his Blessed part:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkYGKqiFeXC/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbccgQ6S7P4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDKp4aheGWE
All of this was top-notch, real street skating in one of the most hectic cities in the world, all of these Instagram clips really stuck in people's memory (a rarity in 2018), and all of this was accomplished while running his own brand and opening up a restaurant in the neighborhood where he grew up.
No one has to like the dude, he doesn't have to be your first pick, but everyone acting like he hasn't done anything this year is showing how painfully out-of-touch they really are.

i love that tyshawn won simply because of how many feathers its ruffled here. in reality phelps ruins everything for me so i wish he wouldnt have picked him.

And no wallrides, no-complys, or double flips. Makes no sense I know...
On a postive note at least we get more Who Kid footy and Supreme/Thrasher collabos.

Loved TJ's stuff... Even that little 20/50 piece with Gonz.
I'm more shocked that he won, considering how poorly executed I thought Fat Bill's filming gimmicks were.
At least 5-6 guys had a real chance. I counted three guys with parts in Peace that were better candidates for SOTY (IMO), based on that alone: Westgate, Evan and Silva.
Milton goes as big and fast as anyone, Joslin has an entire year of hammers and Louie Lopez part in Purple was money.

Worth reminding ourselves:
SOTY is strictly about commodifying skating/skaters.
'Winning' is both a recognition of corporate earnings potential & a compounding affect on that potential.
Nothing more.

anyone got a working link for blessed tho

I'm all for Element skaters never winning this award. Nothing against their team, just the brand.

I get why people are shitting on the Durag thing because it seems like velied racism, but seriously TJ out of all the dudes on FA as classy? I don’t get classy vibes from TJ at all. Nak, and Sage, and Sean seem classy as fuck. Kevin Bradley seems like a jackass. TJ seems like a crusty east co gangsta. Like TJ looks and acts like he is hood AF. If I’m not wrong isn’t everyone on FA except TJ a trust fund baby? I’m pretty sure swans and sages and KBs parents are well off. like TJ dresses thug af compared to like anyone else on that team. I mean he seems like he was brought up good with fat bill and the dudes, but I mean like he seems like he comes from a rough background like a Stevie or somethin.

The switch 360 flip alone warrants SOTY (if SOTY even meant anything)
-
Anyone complaining about Tyshawn that wasn't complaining about Kyle Walker's snowboard part for 2016 probably goes on long rants about why they hate Beyonce
-
What do you all think Phelps meant by “in this day and age”?
To me it sounded like he was conceding that skating’s vanguard is really in the east coast, specifically NYC right now. This was Thrasher basically recognizing the sea change.
I agree picking Tyshawn had a lot to do with trying to stay relevant to the new generation of skaters and marketing. But I also believe Tyshawn fucking rips and deserved to win at the same time.
-
*points and laughs at all the people hating TJ for getting SOTY
Seriously, Even is good, but I'd rather watch TJ skate trashcans for some reason. He also probably turned down SOTY.
Zion, well he'll have his time in the future (maybe Phelps didnt choose him because he called him a bitch on KOTR hahahahahhaa)
Milton Martinez is amazing but I only remember that huge lipslide he did, which was fucked. Was the Creature video this year? I forget.
In the end, who fucking cares? It doesn't take away the fact that these skaters did a bunch of amazing shit this year. It's all just a marketing tool.

What if TJ originally turned down SOTY because he’s one super fucking classy dude? But didnt check with his sponsors first so when they heard they were like “Dude you cant turn this down, we already have a whole product/marketing line for next year”. Maybe thats why the IG vid looks so faked and forced because Thrasher, Supreme, FA, and Adidas knew they would collectively make a fuckload of money collabing/repping him in 2019.
Nothing says class like a nice durag
I get why people are shitting on the Durag thing because it seems like velied racism, but seriously TJ out of all the dudes on FA as classy? I don’t get classy vibes from TJ at all. Nak, and Sage, and Sean seem classy as fuck. Kevin Bradley seems like a jackass. TJ seems like a crusty east co gangsta. Like TJ looks and acts like he is hood AF. If I’m not wrong isn’t everyone on FA except TJ a trust fund baby? I’m pretty sure swans and sages and KBs parents are well off. like TJ dresses thug af compared to like anyone else on that team. I mean he seems like he was brought up good with fat bill and the dudes, but I mean like he seems like he comes from a rough background like a Stevie or somethin.
KB's from crenshaw his parents are definitely not well off the only trust fund babies are Sean and Aiden
-
really long overdue. i know they gave it to AVE, but i always thought one of the new guys shouldve got it. glad it was tyshawn. really good bookmark on their era and definitely one of the skater of the last few years. makes the award feel really relevant.

Bra I back the look and TJ is one of my all time faves and my SOTY choice, but calling him classy is a stretch for real my man. I actually enjoy the fact he doesn’t give a shit with the way he dresses, it’s pretty refreshing compared to most everyone out now. Like Zion sporting those fucking tiger woods cocktail dinner at the countryclub shit. Also Nyjahs fucking colin kaepaernick West Hollywood gangrape outfits.

Phelps looks so out of place in NYC, like he inadvertently wandered out of a retirement home.
I like how he grew a mustache. Now he looks less mentally defective and more child rapist.

Everyone was calling him SOTY 2 months before Blessed came out. Then it was released, had 2 minutes of him skating and they had to stick to their guns. He's a great skater, tons of style, great trick selection but that 2 minutes of skating does not warrant SOTY.
100% agree. SOTY should be changed to MSOTY. It’s more about marketability than ability.
-
Nobody here is about to go out and buy an Element board, so why are you guys so upset about Tyshawn winning? You don’t care that much. I know I don’t.

do people think he’s actually in a gang or do they say “gangster” to describe his clothing style? either way that’s dumb as fuck.

Somebody wrote on this thread that Dylan r was the "best skater of the decade" and that "thrasher snubbed him". First of all fuck thrasher and also Dylan isn't the "best skater" of a whole decade of skating on planet earth. Sorry.

yeah i feel like he knew already. I saw in the new adidas range, Tyshawn has his own shoe coming out soon, seems like its all lined up

I'll echo the sentiment that it's nice to see a non-rail chomper take it. That kind of skating is completely unrelatable and boring to watch.

Good to see someone on the east coast get it. Just a question - is there any footage of Tyshawn skating tranny? Can he? I’d like to see a King of The Road style challenge before he can get the trophy. He has to do a backside air and an invert.
there was footy of him skating the supreme LA bowl with a backpack on, somewhere on IG
-
Wow, that IG announcement sure was anti-climatic.
Congrats to TJ. I'm not mad at that pick at all. Definitely not the most footage, and perhaps not the gnarliest footage, but one could argue that Tyshawn had the biggest impact in 2018.
But, Thrasher really dropped the ball on the announcement. Phelps staggering around and mumbling. At least we could've done more with Gonz. Or put a graphic up on the website first. Or just about anything. Between this and the always awkward KOTR awards episode, Thrasher needs to retool their awards presentations.

He dresses just like 90% of the teenage males in the Bronx but dudes in flyover country suburbs/Southern California/European hamlets wouldn't know anything about that....

Jumped to this thread just to say this, well done.
Can't watch anymore people jumping on a 27 kinked rail, skateboarding seems to have become a thing for stuntmen rather than trick selection and style.
I mean, i'd rather watch Bobby Worrest skate Freedom plaza all day than some random guy who can 5050 a 7 kink rail and throw his carcass down a 20 stair.

i think its funny some of u guys say hes not a rail chomper because he stepped to some heavy rails and killed

He can skate good rails but he's not recognised as a "rail skater" like Jamie Foy or David Gravett just to say an example.

I get that Kyle Walker and Foy were, but Ave and Wes both won in recent years. Wes hit some big rails, but is pretty much an ATV.

TJ's part in my mind was one of the most memorable parts this year alongside Glick and Austyn.
Totally fine with him getting soty. People taking count of tricks per minute and all that dumbass ESPN analytical shit need to step back and enjoy the skating for what it is.

That rail is fucking big. Strobeck's filming doesn't do it justice (no surprises here).

Exactly! It’s always been about who put themselves out there for themselves more than anything . Tyshawn has the old school skate attitude of a bygone era. He lets the skating do the talking and doesn’t really go out of his way to be anything but himself.
He went from that annoying kid who was really good in the ic/cherry videos to being the standout of a team who’s full of characters. Dude deserves it. He puts down for his city and skating in general. Let the man have his shine.
The fact that I’ve seen so many kids say who? On Instagram comments is mind blowing but such an indicator of how quantity is over taking quality in skating glad they gave it to someone deserving over snowboarder type dudes dominating the industry currently

I was hoping for Glick because his souvenir part was sick and Milton Martinez has been going off. But I do like this choice though. The East Coast is killing it and has always been, but now it's becoming a little less low key and I'm alright with that.

Supreme does next to no marketing compared to the vast majority of skate brands. They have an insane team and a iconic logo. Calling Supreme a marketing machine is absolutely insane. If anything it became effortlessly popular

Good to see someone on the east coast get it. Just a question - is there any footage of Tyshawn skating tranny? Can he? I’d like to see a King of The Road style challenge before he can get the trophy. He has to do a backside air and an invert.

What if TJ originally turned down SOTY because he’s one super fucking classy dude? But didnt check with his sponsors first so when they heard they were like “Dude you cant turn this down, we already have a whole product/marketing line for next year”. Maybe thats why the IG vid looks so faked and forced because Thrasher, Supreme, FA, and Adidas knew they would collectively make a fuckload of money collabing/repping him in 2019.
Nothing says class like a nice durag
The answer is nothing.nothing wrong with durags but they're not classy and they are part of hood culture. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with them
I might be the only one on earth, but I’m so curious how “surf goth” dresses.
Board shorts and eyeliner? Just a guess.

All the finalists were great choices but I see why he was chosen...
No crazy exotic locations
No energy drink hat
No generator lit missions to angle grinded rails
just....
traffic
shitty obstacles
hip high garbage cans
real picnic tables
and then a lot of spontaneous weaving and bobbing ala Gonz...
Congrats

yes I put quotes bc that’s how what you said can be interpreted.
sure anyone can rock it, but you know you’re mostly talking about minorities and underserved communities, right? you know, those who didn’t adopt the style just for cool factor but the people who originated it, for many it’s their culture. you come here and say that inner city or hood or gangsta style (quite specifically the durag) is pretty much to be looked down on and is the antithesis of classy. you gonna go to Harlem and the Bronx, look around shake your head and be like “look at all these classless people”? you gonna go tell em “oh you wanna be classy? if so, dress like the average white american! forget about your daily life and local culture, look and act like what is accepted by society!”
I’m not saying you would, in fact as a skater I doubt you would press people to conform? what I’m saying is that it’s good to ask oneself why we as a whole throw statements like these around as truth, where these thoughts came from, and whether you want to further them as the status quo? I like talking shit on SLAP as much as anyone, but just bc ppl dress differently than you doesn’t mean their realities are any less valid or worthy or “classy.” Aaaand I guess that’s what bothered me enough to write this whole fucking thing... sorry to everyone else.
TL;DR: Class comes from a person’s actions, not their appearance.

Isn't TJ's favorite skater Bryan Herman, he was on emerica popping tables right? I think the picknick table, trashcan popping stuff is not that off brand.

A slim majority of Slap backs TJSOTY if you look at the poll thread. The rest of the the skate internet seems about the same. The racially sketchy stuff in here is a bummer and definitely makes a few people sound like out of touch old white men but for the most I’m enjoying watching the detractors cry as Tyshawn does his victory lap

Really? I feel like most people are pretty psyched. Also, I feel like there is a difference between “who you want to be SOTY” and “who you think will be SOTY”, which might explain him not getting the most votes on the poll.

He's right, guys like Joslin suit the 2005-09 era of skateboarding, Evan's circus tricks and style contrast hard to what skateboarding is in 2018 & Corey is objectively good but just not soty 2018
All the dudes here complaining about tyshawn winning are the same dudes complaining about how zoomed in the blessed footage was, it's pretty similar to some old man complaining about how distorted/loud some new music trend is.
I think what's happening here (which happens to the best of us) is a simple case of "back in my day...". Does everyone here really think that they'll "get it" just indefinitely?

Uh, fat bill, dill, and Phelps seem to? What a dumb overall argument. Yeah the thirty year olds, just don’t get it (but somehow those aforementioned geezers do). You think the camera angles/ music thing is age? Some music is ahead of its time, but some is garbage trends that the people whk like it now will be embarrassed to remember listening to in 10 years (or less).
camera perspective, the young mans game.
Like these kids are running up to fat bill like “no zoom in more, trust us it’s 2018”
Also I am not against tyahawn getting soty, but there are valid arguments for the other young kids that people mentioned.
-
I'm psyched as hell that TJ got SOTY and I definitely think Fat Bill needs to open up his shots chill out on the slow mo.
-
It boils down to this:
Phelps makes the decision - all voting is irrelevant.
If Phelps and Thrasher deemed it beneficial to themselves to vote for TJ as a marketing ploy then that's what they did. If they deemed it beneficial to vote for TJ as their favorite skater that year, then that's what they did.
Nothing the viewer or voter did would have swayed or changed that.
To add, I think the decision was correct.
Tyshawn best exemplified skateboarding this year IMO, and the kid is incredible.
I commend Thrasher for steering clear of what was almost 'expected' and taking a look at who is actually influencing most younger/up and coming skaters and it sure as hell isn't Evan Smith, although his skills are undeniable as well.
-
The whole soty thing has been a joke anyhow. Thrasher is just trying to sell more shirts at this point. I haven’t seen the supreme video yet but I sure hope that tyshawn has the best part of the year, he beat out some serious competition.

Nah it's just that you guys are reductive in your attempts to understand things you don't
It's like saying "tiago can ollie 5 trash-cans he definitely deserves it over tyshawn's 4"
Calling Bill & Dill old (Im not including Phelps here cause he's just a face) is missing the point too. Those guys were young when they started investing in concepts which would become popular when presented years later through a different generation (the fa/surpeme team)

that rail looks like the top part is chest high. pretty buck if ya ask me with all the commotion. ain't no school yard rail.
I actually walked by it just a few minutes ago. It's at the subway stop I get on. Beverly and Vermont. It's big no doubt, but it does look a little bigger on film. The scariest part is that you'd have to haul ass to land away from that weird grate at the bottom.

why is phelps so afraid of black people
he looks like he put on his safari outfit for visiting the indigenous regions of new york so he could express his goodwill to the aboriginals. and he took his safari guide, sir mark gonzales, with him.
hahaha yep. Off hiding in the bushes until Gonzales gives him the ok and waves him over. Reminds of that missionary that started singing hymns while approaching the North Sentinel Islanders. They didn't know what the hell he was doing and killed him.

I can see this happening. Has TJ been filmed by anyone other than Fat Bill or his clones? If not it needs to happen. Id like to see TJ footage done without the shitty filming.
Yep his Away days part I guess? Long lens are kind of bill style but the edit is a lot more fisheye than a supreme video ===> https://youtu.be/VwhwvKP4Qb8

Its tall at the back but its corner pocket so it gets really low really fast. It looks way heavy on film compared to real life. Either way its not a very inviting rail.
Watch when bryan hermans hardflip over it on the straight on angle. You can see that its really not that high at all.
https://youtu.be/80v5m1ZSjVM
Pause at 3:43.
always looks huge on film because the rail goes back far.
Tyshawn is sick and the shit he does is fucking gnarly. regardless if its on flat over some shit or whatever, nobody else is skating that way. everyone is front crooking 20s now. Im just glad it wasnt Zion. Evan Smith would have been cool too. Its like last year they copuld have gone with LL or Tiago and they were both right and they went with Foy. I feel the same about Zion against Evan or TJ. glad they didnt blow it again.
Tyshawns nollie flip in regular motion makes it look way heavier than the slow mo.

Black people go through a lot of meticulously brushing and conditioning of their hair to control the curl pattern into something known as waves. (Check out Atlanta FX season 2 episode 2 the side character goes on and on about protecting his waves for his job interview). That shit is fragile. You cant even sleep on them directly on them or you'll matt section. One wrong bail and basically the whole side of your head can be out of sync. In elementary school, if a kid had nice waves, people would slap the back of their head just to fuck that shit up.
It's essentially the same thing as a little old lady walking around in curlers and a scarf and calling that part of hood culture is proof of your ignorance of black culture.

I’ve never seen so many people in youtube comments use the race card to claim that anyone hating on this year’s SOTY is an undercover racist who hates black people. I just finished watching some SOTY compilation, and every other comment was “you just hating cause he black” and “Phelps don’t make mistakes.”
Tyshawn is good, but come on.
-
I was skeptical until I watched tyshawns Blessed part: I completely see why he got it now. He definitely represents raw street skating, the part was crazy. Can’t wait for the Manolo remix!

Hyped. He's a great choice. Actually got a little emotional with pride for a block or two when I was cruising the Manhattan streets the other night. Proud for him, proud for NYC and the BX (stand up!!!), proud for the northeast bringing the black Soty's, and proud of myself for still being out here when I'm old enough to have thought of Harold as a young buck bitd. I was rooting for Evan, who I feel is just one of the most evolved practitioners of the stuntwood and should have one already (although element sigh) , and TJ being so young would surely have his day as well. But I guess that day is today, and he deserves it.
And as a side note it's nice to have a king of new york who is actually from here, nothing against AO I still think he's great, and remains one of my faves :P

The answer is nothing.nothing wrong with durags but they're not classy and they are part of hood culture. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with them
“black people aren’t classy unless they dress like white people do. nothing wrong with them choosing to never be classy”
durags have a purpose you know? cultural roots too.
class has a lot more to it than what someone wears.
good time for some introspection, surf goth.
You put quotes on that as if i actually said and no man. Pay attention it's not about race It's hood culture.anybody can wear gangsta shit.
yes I put quotes bc that’s how what you said can be interpreted.
sure anyone can rock it, but you know you’re mostly talking about minorities and underserved communities, right? you know, those who didn’t adopt the style just for cool factor but the people who originated it, for many it’s their culture. you come here and say that inner city or hood or gangsta style (quite specifically the durag) is pretty much to be looked down on and is the antithesis of classy. you gonna go to Harlem and the Bronx, look around shake your head and be like “look at all these classless people”? you gonna go tell em “oh you wanna be classy? if so, dress like the average white american! forget about your daily life and local culture, look and act like what is accepted by society!”
I’m not saying you would, in fact as a skater I doubt you would press people to conform? what I’m saying is that it’s good to ask oneself why we as a whole throw statements like these around as truth, where these thoughts came from, and whether you want to further them as the status quo? I like talking shit on SLAP as much as anyone, but just bc ppl dress differently than you doesn’t mean their realities are any less valid or worthy or “classy.” Aaaand I guess that’s what bothered me enough to write this whole fucking thing... sorry to everyone else.
TL;DR: Class comes from a person’s actions, not their appearance.
By that logic no item of clothing can be mocked . you and the rest of the snowflakes need to chill. Don't assume shit either .
Oh? Don't like being judged by people who don't know you very well? Newsflash dipshit, you're a fucking hypocrite as well as racist. Not to mention you are being judged by your words, which are generally indicative of a person's character, instead of your clothes, which are not.
Oh yeah? What have i assumed? Show me anything racist ive said too.

you literally said Tyshawn wears a durag because of hood culture.
I explained the practical purpose of them with a picture of Tyshawn's hair
Now you're claiming that NOW people don't use them for that purpose, despite evidence of TJ.
do you know what everyones hair looks like under a durag?
I'm done with you.

TJ is black?
Anyway. He's pretty good. I reckon he deserved it.

How one defines a classy look is a big factor in this discussion. A durag can be purchased at most gas stations, they cost less than $10. The item contains the word "rag" which is an antithesis to classy. If I was gonna try to look classy I wouldn't wear blue jeans, and I also wouldn't wear any "streetwear" and I sure as shit wouldn't wear a fucking durag.
-
A durag isn't streetwear it's no more streetwear than a t shirt is or pants. There's many ways to brand, style and wear an article of clothing. It serves a function but also some people choose to wear one for style purposes. How we judge an individual or interpret them; when we base it only on looks and clothes, is all on us. I think it's distasteful to use classy as an identifier of looks instead of character.

If you look closely, we can see that Tyshawn is simply using his durag to protect the four adorable puppies he keeps on his head. Not sure what kind of monster hates on that.

A baseball hat is just as "streetwear" as a du-rag and can also be found for cheap in a gas station. Oddly enough, though, no one in this thread equates people who wear hats with classlessness the same way they do du-rags and I can't figure out why...

looks and character are two different things that can described with the word classy. humans as visual creatures make instinctual judgements based on looks to determine danger, safety, potential mates, food sources, etc. So all these runway models cant have their clothes described as classy because we dont know the character of the model underneath?

Bruh he’s skateboarding, he’s not going to a dinner party. Yeah sure wearing a du rag isn’t classy, but what is strange is that you would explicitly point that out. Do you criticize people getting clips in baseball hats?

Classy in reference to clothes has changed over time. Classy brands like LV, Gucci, st Laurent etc make streetwear or blend in with those brands in fact the lines have kind of blurred. People wear streetwear like off white supreme and stuff along with high fashion brands to formal events because it's expensve and hype. Someone dressed in full streetwear looks like they are put together and distinguished and respected especially amongst the youth. Since the definition of classy changes so much in this regard it's dangerous and baseless to judge someone off this by their clothes and much safer/consistently accurate to judge a classy person who displays class; which is something that's timeless.

nice clothes is nice clothes, and some new things are considered fashionable compared to older styles, but cheap ass shit is still cheap ass shit. Can you buy any of those brands you mentioned at a quickie mart? you cant deny the durag is added to an outfit to add a certain favor. Do you wear cheap walmart underwear under your expensive pants. "This durag aint cheap shit, it says Supreme on it."
I know not to judge a book by its cover. One can act classy while simultaneously looking like trash. just add a durag

You don't think durags are classy because of where you can purchase one (black ppl hardly ever buy them from gas stations btw) or that is has rag in the name. You think its not classy because its something worn almost exclusively by black people.
Here's a picture of white people wearing durags in a Rick Owens runway. No one talking about how unclassy he made his fashion show ::).

Although I hate SJWs, they are 100% correct when they call out racist whites for trying to play as the purveyors of cultural morality. 'Not classy' should never be an insult when talking about skateboarders, it's bullshit used to discredit a young black man.

Although I hate SJWs, they are 100% correct when they call out racist whites for trying to play as the purveyors of cultural morality. 'Not classy' should never be an insult when talking about skateboarders, it's bullshit used to discredit a young black man.
Nobody is trying to discredit tyshawn. I called him undeniably talented.the class thing came from somebody saying he was too classy for soty he probably rejected the award

I don't really care much about SOTY and after reading this thread I care less about it.
There are tons of politics involved and I will never understand how Dennis has never won,
especially with his affiliation to DLX/Highspeed/Volcom/ etc?
Now my question here is. Would there be any influence for TJ to win this year due to a "Supreme" store opening on Market Street in SF early next year? Also, that last minute video of him was definitely pre-thought out for that extra edge to win, without that footy does he still win?
To me, Milton was hands down the winner. That dude is raw...

Yea he dropped an extra edit after Blessed as a SOTY push, but at the same time he’s been posting clips of him skating trash cans at that same spot all year and lots of SOTY contenders drop strategically in the 4th quarter these days.

I can't believe there's still an argument going on about TJ and "classy".
we wouldn't be talking about any of this if people weren't using his durags as justification for him not being classy, which is a massive generalization with racist undertones about black people. yall come out saying durags are for classless people and expect everyone to nod and move along... smh ::)
the idea of "classy" or "nice" clothes in the west only comes from whatever rich white ppl have said is "good" (either created or appropriated) and imposing it on society for decades if not centuries to the point that no one asks why anymore; sucks for those who dont want this conversation to include race.
SLAP gets mad tight when skate culture is appropriated, but will try to shut the conversation down when its pointed out that looking down on black and brown culture has been ingrained in ppls heads, as is made clear by comments like the durag one.
im not even trying to shun people as racist. like i said before, id hopefully like to get ppl to think bout where they got the ideas coming out of their mouths and if they feel okay furthering old thoughts that were fed to us as truths about the world. to ask "why?" more.
honestly if obviating these things day to day gives you peace, whatever, we've all done it... but if and when they're brought up to you dont fight em and pretend like race power dynamics haven't had a hand in shaping society and by extension our own convictions... its a bad look.

I see you’ve somehow managed to peek through the durag matrix. Were it not for the fact that we are a bunch brainwashed sheeple, unknowingly having deep biases carved into our brains by a corrupt and hateful culture, debutant balls, awards galas and high society soirées would be a beautiful sea of durags as far as the eye can see.

Lol, glad I'm neither white black latin or asian really. So I can watch "objectively" while people show off how pc or woke they are by saying du rags worn in public are classy. TJ can wear one anywhere because he's a celebrity of sorts at this point, also he's someone who makes a living playing in the street, but personal beauty aids worn in public are generally not "classy". Maybe the sweet waves they are enabling are but the rags not so much. Yet.
I suspect the people arguing for how classy du rags are (lool) never have to go anywhere near grimy hoods or individuals, or am I wrong in assuming most of the fools on this forum live in some homogenized bumblefuck suburb? And although it's not unaffected by the current trends in urbanism (re: gentrification) the South Bronx has been a shitty neighborhood since Robert Moses destroyed it with the construction of the Cross Bronx Express Way back in the 50's and 60's. Of course out of this urban blight grew some of our most vibrant and vital art and music cultures but I'm not about to reiterate my architecture thesis on slap.
In any case we are a ways away from a du rag having the same cultural resonance as say a well cut tweed jacket but we're moving along. Folks like TJ who have the talent to transcend societal stratifications also help that along.
But maybe I'll wear my grey sweatpants to my cousin's wedding to protest racism.

No, I don’t think you hate black people. I think we all say things sometimes that are symptoms of larger shortcomings of society. Few words can sometimes carry heavy meanings, and it certainly got to me that people were trying to ignore that or make light of it, so I felt the need to speak up.

I think the thing that gets me about this whole debate is how racially triggered slap is. TJ deserves SOTY and is a boss, but dude also a bitch for how he handles that Manolo thing. Like dude you just won skater of the year. Like y’all saying he’s classy is just a joke because he’s not. It’s not like Jamie foy or Kyle walker were either really. Other then AVE, and Ishod. Who would u say is a classy SOTY post 2010? There aren’t many, and that’s just the truth.

The problem wasn’t disagreeing on whether he’s classy or not, it was using durags as the reason to say he isn’t, which is a much bigger statement. I don’t think ppl will be up in arms from you saying he’s not classy bc of the way he handled the Manolo thing, since you’re commenting on his actions rather than his appearance.
I don’t know how much more I can say the word “classy” without losing it.

So basically a Thrasher durag is in order, and the same way everyone and their aunt sally who doesn't skate wears the shirt, everyone and their aunt mitzy who don't have a fro can wear a wave cap. And thus social progress is made. Or is that appropriation?
SOTY's probably shouldn't be classy. It's Thrasher. Maybe whoever wins a gold medal should.

I guess there’s just too much marketing involved these days. In the other SOTY poll thread about all of the winners i saw several people voting Silas and Koston as least deserving. Silas had been silently slaying for years and he even had a nollie heel down a 13 in a mag prior to winning. Koston won every contest and pushed technical progression that era. My point is, that I guess the ‘formula’ for SOTY has changed. TJ rips but when i see him acting aloof and pompus in interviews etc. i just see this as fuel for the ego. A bunch of arrogant hipsters and dickriders sway popular opinion of the new trends. Id rather see some random dark horse win it based on how they carry themselves than whoever gets the most instagram likes for swag! Lit! Truuuu! Gang!

Appearance and character are two different things that should be judged on class independently. A homeless man covered in filth can be a classy respectful individual in character, while a rich guy dressed to the nines can be a total piece of shit.
I have an oldschool opinion about fashion and what I consider classy attire. While attempting to look classy, among other things I would not wear any type of sports attire and sports caps.
Tj shouldnt have slapped any of his peers, and he shouldnt trip out on instagram and keyboard flex on critics.
I think TJ and the Supreme skaters are sick and loved the skating in the video.

has anybody ever brought up classiness in other SOTY threads?

Its simple as fuck. Evan was supposed to get SOTY (not my choice) but had to politely turn it down because the higher ups in the skateboarding illuminati couldn't condone a walking talking advert for microdosing LSD becoming an idol for a sport in which the most susceptible followers are just teenagers. Then either Evan or Thrasher chose Tyshawn as the next most deserving pro
But then again ill never know

Yeah sheckler is reasonable he usually gives you a warning if you weren't too cross. Honestly I think I heard it yelling something about whose white trash rims those were outside the window before sheckler just came running over and clocked it. I'm surprised he didn't give it a warning first though.

Also subway® is my favourite go to when I'm really in need of a 5 dollar footlong™ so I can get back out on the sesh. Your friend knows watsup sheckler was probably already there one step ahead of the game as usual.

i did read it and 60% of it is an argument because some people got offended by others suggesting that flow caps were "hood" and not classy which spiraled into the same old racist debate that every other thread ends up in.
i was just pointing out that the foundation of the debate is actually pretty silly and slightly ironic because a classy look could really be an insult and a "hood" look (or whatever it's ok to call it these days) could be a complement in the context of skating. it just feels like people on both sides are dying to argue about race.
if it was some white heshed out guy, no one would be offended by the idea of someone saying it was a trashy look he was rocking and no one would be trying to say it was classy either. shits kind of silly and it kind of feels like it's overshadowing how awesome TJs contribution are. i thought the griminess of him skating city spots, looking like he's a native was awesome and hopefully that doesn't make me a racist but i'm sure for some posters it would. i felt the same way about ben's part. i loved how dirty it was with the ween song, his fucked up teeth, etc...

i did read it and 60% of it is an argument because some people got offended by others suggesting that flow caps were "hood" and not classy which spiraled into the same old racist debate that every other thread ends up in.
i was just pointing out that the foundation of the debate is actually pretty silly and slightly ironic because a classy look could really be an insult and a "hood" look (or whatever it's ok to call it these days) could be a complement in the context of skating. it just feels like people on both sides are dying to argue about race.
if it was some white heshed out guy, no one would be offended by the idea of someone saying it was a trashy look he was rocking and no one would be trying to say it was classy either. shits kind of silly and it kind of feels like it's overshadowing how awesome TJs contribution are. i thought the griminess of him skating city spots, looking like he's a native was awesome and hopefully that doesn't make me a racist but i'm sure for some posters it would. i felt the same way about ben's part. i loved how dirty it was with the ween song, his fucked up teeth, etc...
Thank you and it's a sincere thank you. My bad if me backing your post makes people hate you haha

Tyshawn was shedding tears surrounded by his friends, family, and supporters at the SOTY party tonight. He’s an amazing kid who worked hard to get where he’s at and this award is very well deserved.
-
don't be sad
it's not the first time a great skateboarder is a shitty person
he's young he has plenty of time to get better at interacting with others
being soty might not help with the ego though
-
If only Tyshawn wore Dickies and flannels like me.

the ego is part of why he's so good tho. you can see it when he skates

Phelper would not have given it to him if he knew he would cut onion.

Wow Whokid looks absolutely crushed that someone else was closer to Tyshawn when he received the award.

Shit made me tear up a little. Wasn’t expecting that from him.

Is there video of the speech? Also that guy Whokid seems like such a leech.
-
not everything is about footy and it's not some corrupt SUPREME BS with Thrasher. it's always been about that video part. and it's the best video part.
people who know know seeing TJ skate in person puts haters in the penalty box.
his SOTY tour will prove that

has anybody ever brought up classiness in other SOTY threads?
Well have we ever had a SOTY who:
1. Went on instagram days after getting it to bitch someone out and say they will throw fists.
2. He beat up debobby before.
3. Now he’s supposedly throwing cats at walls.
Dudes a deadbeat hood rat it seems who has won SOTY. I fucking hate it when the best black people at shit turn out to be fucking garbage human beings, and it bums me the fuck out. Also he is the second black dude who’s won SOTY, this shit just looks awful for the community/culture. Ishod has gotta be rolling his eyes like how I imagine barrack doin when we have black president number two. TJ it seems is just a bum.
Hood rat? Dude you’re tripping! You’re comparing a politician to a skateboarder. Get your head out of your ass. Sorry black people haven’t evolved in the 40 years of skating. Niggas like nigga shit. It’s simple math.

bobby was talking shit and he checked him so what
slap and damn near everyone else in the skate industry hates chase webb so who cares
can u guys just admit u dont like tyshawn and ur trying to find some dumbass reasons to justify it and move on already
-
He was ripping and apologized when his board shot out at me when I saw him at LES. He seems like a level-headed guy to me, maybe he just doesn't know how to act on camera.
-
does anyone have the link to that interview with chima where he talks about tyshawn smacking bobby dekyzer? wasn't the chase webb story in there too? i looked for it and can't seem to find it anywhere.

He just comes across as a humorless asshole. There’s nothing about his personality (or really any of the Supreme/IC kids) that appeals to me. I’m glad people have had encounters with him where he isn’t the worst human being in every single encounter with every song person, I’ve just never liked people with that kind of personality and I’ll continue to not like this complete stranger because of it (I just don’t want to have to fly out to Bronx just to say it to his face)

"Fuck yeah dude Tyshawn is fuckin slapping fools dude"
https://youtu.be/EKRhxvmtass
How do people who toss themselves down stairs get scared of slaps
-
why does he wear a hair caring device on the best day of his life ?

This is a grown-ass man talking about a 19 year old kid he's never met.
Looks like we just found Tyshawn's next (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSxWw-55GbBcGkgA05oCo87U3sT7wmV-XTKvZS9uFSl-YX34zNU) victim.

He's a kid. Get over it.
That said I can't stand that Mikey Alfred (?) IC dude.
-
Mikey Alfred seems like the kind of dude who would shoot an endangered animal in an attempt to look hard.
But fuck him, good for Tyshawn.

Those instagram comments are fucking funny. Bunch of kids crying because another rail kid didn't win again.
