Feel like he’s the only SOTY to disappear straight after taking the trophy, almost forget he even won the award. Is he injured or something?
-
Ask him on Instagram like a real man!

Remember when you’d see a pro in a video part once every three years and they’d have a photo in a mag every now and then? Now someone doesn’t post themselves skating on Instagram and people start asking if they still skate.

If ones skating doesn't appear on social media and millions aren't around to see one skate, does one still skate?

its not that era though, hence your own usage of the word remember
blabla can anyone who skates in ny confirm if hes been rolling about? since the threads here

He posted multiple insta clips of lines filmed in Times Square about a week ago. Mystery solved
“It’s 35 degrees and NYC currently has snow on the ground, where are the daily clips from Tyshawn?”

Bad idea bro.

Two solid years of zip, zilch, nada was pretty weird in the 2000’s too and I definitely noticed it.

Crazy to think that Strobeck filmed and edited Cherry but somehow just got worse and worse at both.

When I first saw this I thought it was self-parody. Not sure whether it’s intentional or not though. (This comment might apply to both the filming and the pants. The sw bs flip was amazing though.)
-
He had an ad in a recent thrasher too. We'll probably see more from him but not pre SOTY levels. He has made it clear he wants to go beyond skating. He's already been SOTY, has some of the biggest sponsors, is in the new Tony Hawk, and had the last part in one of the most hyped videos in recent years (even though blessed is pretty forgettable). Not much left for the kid to strive for. Beat Nyjah in street league?

If he's going to wear those pants he may as well be a line cook in his restaurant.

Tyshawn seems pretty MIA these days. I'm OF IG so I can't see his stories. One of his last FA board was called "peace out". I guess he did. No one to film him?
I already asked this shitty question.
-
I know bill has talked about discouraging the kids on the team from posting clips to Instagram. It’s pretty evident when you look at most of their instagrams (especially the ones on FA/Hockey) that they seem to have listened. I’m sure he’s working on something and we’ll see it when it’s ready.

I was almost positive TJ did the same as a tribute in Blessed but I didn't see it or it lives somewhere else. Just watched that part again and it is so gnarly.

He’s using his influence and street cred to defund the police. Sometimes winning soty is greater than you’d think. Also he’s selling drugs(and dogs) out of the BOH of his restaurants
-
He'll give you the insta clips for free but a full part is gonna cost ya
-
why do folks still pretend like it's 2001, and social media doesn't exist? like, yes, as a pro skater in 2020, your sponsors want you to post footage more than once a year. just post some ishod type shit, of you dicking around at the skatepark
-
I watched TJ try straight nollie heel over a can a few months ago (was on his last few tries when I showed up, didn’t get it then at least).
Strobecks Instagram is where the clips go. Strobeck also teases them filming in the streets and it looks like he’s working, only posting the casual/throwaway shit.
I’ve heard rumors of him trying some heavy shit in NY. I’m totally fine with this amount of clips for the gram and saving the real deal for a part. Short answer, yea he skates.

I think it isn't so much his "absence" so much as how when he does pop up it's about money and ego instead of skating, which is cringey af.

Literally one of the best to ever set foot on a skateboard and people complain, unreal. Must be so fucking fun to be that good.

Not a huge FA fan but from the sound of it Ave and Dill are believers in stacking the footage and releasing it when there is a new product drop.
Recently Dill said that KB sitting on a lot of shit, but just waiting on the right time (the spring drop basically). Based on KB’s social media you would believe Clark Hassler skates more than he does lol.

You’d probably post the shit he does if you had multiple video parts, a restaurant, SOTY, a huge adidas deal, etc. at 21. He’s a college aged kid with a ton of success.

Nope, not even close. Being ostentatious is ugly and can attract some pretty terrible things.
-
I think people were just worried he’d see himself as above it all and go pursue an acting career full time and we’d lose a great skater who still had a lot more to offer the world of skating.
I’m all for wishing people success but at the same time I’d be like “ah man you can’t just ignore the level of pop you possess.” We mostly know him for his skating so if you’re a fan of it you still want to see it.
-
Man he'd suck at acting

I saw him FUCKING up freedom plaza about 1.5 months ago. Was oddly warm and they were out with strobek

How dare a successful young black man in America have an ego, or want more out of life than what skateboarding has to offer?!
As others have pointed out, he still rips.
-
All you butt hurt people should start a club called "Friends of TJ" where you defend his honor against baseless claims on the internet by people who love his skating and want to see more of it.
Make some bumper stickers and be sure to give him a cut.

Dude, that's the whole thing. Do you remember how cocky you were at 21 vs your late 20's/early 30's? He's still a kid.
And shouts for pursuing paths outside of skateboarding. I for one didn't expect his first venture to be a restaurant, but good on him.

It's just weird to think someone isn't skating just because they're not pumping out filler insta clips. Like relax you'll get your TJ footage.

You just have to put up with Strobeck's instagram if you want to see his footage. Honestly he can get away with posting less skating because the stuff we do see is so, so good.
After being heavily and rightfully kook'd for hating on Bledsoe's tattoo stuff, I am fully on being a fan of pro skaters being able to use their social media accounts for more than just skating. It's interesting and refreshing!

I don’t think it’s 100% a race thing (for example no one asked about Al Davis until about a twice as long footage gap), but it does factor in. I do think Tyshawn being a young black guy that doesn’t look like a skateboarder plays a part in some of the offbeat criticism he gets.

- Chief calls a shop and demands to know the location of a spot
- Gets upset because he wasn't given the location because he'll ruin the spot
- Goes to mall shop to get scooter kids to guide him to the spot
- Puts the exact location of the spot in his Thrasher write-up because he's a wiener that wants to ruin the spot
Still the perfect story to show how supremely unlikeable Jamie is as a person.

it's in this: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/29/magazine/tyshawn-jones.html
[/quote]
She was keeping most of her life savings stashed in her bedroom. She had her reasons, but even so, $80,000 isn’t easily hidden from two little boys. Tyshawn and Bryan soon figured out where it was, and they would ‘‘pick at it,’’ in Tyshawn’s words, to buy skateboards and movie tickets. The family lived in the biggest unit in a condo building in Hackensack, a nice place with a doorman and a shared swimming pool. Sometimes friends would come over to use the pool. Once, Bryan showed off this gigantic pile of cash to a couple of friends from school.
Those same friends came back one day when Tyshawn was home alone, asking if they could go for a swim. Tyshawn let them in. They asked if they could use the bathroom beforehand — both of them. Tyshawn sent one down the hall and the other upstairs to the bathroom off the master bedroom. The one he’d sent upstairs came back down holding his towel awkwardly in front of him and saying they’d changed their minds, and didn’t feel like swimming anymore. Tyshawn sent them on their way. ‘‘I’m a kid; I’m not thinking anything,’’ he told me. ‘‘I’m, like, 10 years old.’’ A few days later, when he was at school, his mother called him in tears. Nearly all the money was missing.
Henry went to the police, only to be told, she says, that she couldn’t press charges against the boys unless she also pressed charges against her own sons, who were technically involved. Not only was the money gone, but Bryan had to watch the thieves enjoy it. ‘‘They were probably 13 years old with $80,000, cash,’’ Tyshawn recalls. ‘‘There was so much money, they were giving it away in school.’’
Left with an overwhelming sense of guilt, Tyshawn started casting about for ways to help replace the money. He was a clever kid. He’d trick the doorman into looking for something in the package room, then snatch apartment keys off the wall. ‘‘I was young and dumb,’’ he says, so he thought everyone had huge piles of cash hidden in their bedrooms. They didn’t, but he found other stuff to grab. He eventually got caught, and in the aftermath of all of this, the family moved back to the Bronx. ‘‘When I moved to New York, I would just think about that money,’’ Jones says. ‘‘I gotta get that money back for my mom. I gotta get that money back for my mom.’’

Tyshawn's Mom kept her entire life's savings in her bedroom hidden away. Tyshawn and his brother found it, took some here and there, and told their friends about it. One of the friends came over to their house and ended up stealing everything. They weren't able to press charges on the kids, and the kids basically spent/wasted the money in plain sight of the Jones family. He talked about feeling insanely guilty about it and how he'd been looking for ways to get her money back. He's probably having the best time ever taking care of his family now.

Elijah is a strange one. He has all the right stuff but somehow comes across as unlikeable. I was surprised when no one around here mentioned his new part (at least I don't think anyone did). Gilbert got more attention.

100% this.
It’s not like every criticism of him is racist, but some most definitely are, even if the person posting it doesn’t even know it...shit is not simple (or so black and white, harhar).
Tyshawn obviously is smart and capable as fuck. Proof is all there.
Pro before the age of 18 on one of the most popular board brand.
Owns a hardware company, du rag company, multiple(?) restaurants, breeds bulldogs, probably other shit too.
Pro model on adidas.
Multiple full parts in the last five years.
Last SOTY pick from Phelps.
Front boardslid a fucking moving construction vehicle in traffic.
Blah blah blah.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances he has a full decade worth of absolutely prime skating, and I for one can’t wait to see it unfold. Dude fucking rips and is so fun to watch. Hopefully he starts to skate transition more.

I don’t think it’s 100% a race thing (for example no one asked about Al Davis until about a twice as long footage gap), but it does factor in. I do think Tyshawn being a young black guy that doesn’t look like a skateboarder plays a part in some of the offbeat criticism he gets.
People on here have called him the next Antwuan, people have said he’s one of the dumbest skaters around, and some dude is now asking if he doesn’t skate anymore just because he’s not on Instagram like that and hasn’t had a full part in 2 years? That’s bullshit in my opinion.
Also I’ve never read anyone shitting on Berle for his footage gap, and people love shitting on him.
I agree that antwuan comps are def kinda racist. Every black skater seems to only get compared to other black skaters which makes no sense.
Tyshawn is dope and imo is top 3 most enjoyable skaters to watch. And how can anyone not respect his dedication to being successful, saving money, starting his own businesses, and taking care of his own. I don't think the lack of footage criticism is a racial thing though, there's threads every week asking what happened to X skater
-
People wanna see him skate. Pretty weird stuff.
-
The Antwuan comparisons are definitely racist. They have nothing in common.
-
Tyshawn’s parts have substance. So I don’t mind them being on repeat for a few years. It’s always a double edge sword, yes I’d love to see footage everyday but it wouldn’t hit the same as waiting. Skating has turned into a sport in the sense that yes there are a lot of good people skating but whose adding a flare or following / doing it in a different way and that is what we need to keep alive... I digress.

This. It’s rare for someone’s footage to have staying power right now, and Tyshawns does. He is special in that sense, so people will hate him. I agree that his catch on some flip tricks is a bit odd but it’s all those little things that make his footage rewatchable.

How dare a successful young black man in America have an ego, or want more out of life than what skateboarding has to offer?!
As others have pointed out, he still rips.
Dude, that's the whole thing. Do you remember how cocky you were at 21 vs your late 20's/early 30's? He's still a kid.
And shouts for pursuing paths outside of skateboarding. I for one didn't expect his first venture to be a restaurant, but good on him.
What was the story with his mom?
She was keeping most of her life savings stashed in her bedroom. She had her reasons, but even so, $80,000 isn’t easily hidden from two little boys. Tyshawn and Bryan soon figured out where it was, and they would ‘‘pick at it,’’ in Tyshawn’s words, to buy skateboards and movie tickets. The family lived in the biggest unit in a condo building in Hackensack, a nice place with a doorman and a shared swimming pool. Sometimes friends would come over to use the pool. Once, Bryan showed off this gigantic pile of cash to a couple of friends from school.
Those same friends came back one day when Tyshawn was home alone, asking if they could go for a swim. Tyshawn let them in. They asked if they could use the bathroom beforehand — both of them. Tyshawn sent one down the hall and the other upstairs to the bathroom off the master bedroom. The one he’d sent upstairs came back down holding his towel awkwardly in front of him and saying they’d changed their minds, and didn’t feel like swimming anymore. Tyshawn sent them on their way. ‘‘I’m a kid; I’m not thinking anything,’’ he told me. ‘‘I’m, like, 10 years old.’’ A few days later, when he was at school, his mother called him in tears. Nearly all the money was missing.
Henry went to the police, only to be told, she says, that she couldn’t press charges against the boys unless she also pressed charges against her own sons, who were technically involved. Not only was the money gone, but Bryan had to watch the thieves enjoy it. ‘‘They were probably 13 years old with $80,000, cash,’’ Tyshawn recalls. ‘‘There was so much money, they were giving it away in school.’’
Left with an overwhelming sense of guilt, Tyshawn started casting about for ways to help replace the money. He was a clever kid. He’d trick the doorman into looking for something in the package room, then snatch apartment keys off the wall. ‘‘I was young and dumb,’’ he says, so he thought everyone had huge piles of cash hidden in their bedrooms. They didn’t, but he found other stuff to grab. He eventually got caught, and in the aftermath of all of this, the family moved back to the Bronx. ‘‘When I moved to New York, I would just think about that money,’’ Jones says. ‘‘I gotta get that money back for my mom. I gotta get that money back for my mom.’’

Imagine having that happen to you and your family and then being able to pay them back, and then some, by the age of 21. When I was 21, I was still living at home, going to community college, and racking up a small credit card debt. Tyshawn is one of the most successful pro skaters of recent times, is a largely recognizable figure outside of skating, and has started multiple businesses. Let the man brag a little bit. He's deserved that much.

that's pretty bad ass that he was able to replace the $ but his mom sounds like either a crook or a fool. also, sounds like they weren't doing too bad growing up with a doorman and pool. TJ on gated community, confirmed.

Yeah, props to Tyshawn for being way smarter than his mom. Skateboarding will make that happen, imo. Skateboarding is way better than keeping 80 grand in a place where middle schoolers can steal it easily.

Hopefully he starts to skate transition more.

Go watch a bowl comp or some other corny skatepark kid shit if you want to see transition. Also theotis has had transition clips, he did heelflip rock or a similar terrible trick.
Also while on the topic of FA pawns, wtf is up with nakel?

He can brag all he wants, acting like he skates just for money is what makes him look like an asshole.

I’ve seen him skate a few times recently and he comes off as a skate rat. Skitching on UPS trucks and skating flat with homies, no filmer in sight.

Shut the fuck up about my intentions and learn that no one's perfect no matter how much you suck their dick. If I wanted to hate on him I'd just say that his tricks are wack and he catches them funny, his skating his great.

Tyshaun is one in million. Amazing talent. Just because he doesn't post clips to your beloved instagram doesn't mean he's not out there on a board ripping.
One thing I will say..... And I have a few friends like this....
They rip like hell but couldn't give a fuck about the culture. Not into skate history, not into culture, wouldn't watch a skate video if you paid them. Just have no interest in it. He strikes me like that for some reason.
Nothing wrong with that. Just an observation.

A lot of people are gonna see that as a problem. Ungratefulness to an industry that has handed you fame, money, and potential of a long term career. not many people get that out of skating. does have the talent though & these days its a clout race anyway.

Sure, but they aren't elite prestige films like the ones PTA writes/directs. It was certainly a surprise to people when Sandler was cast as the lead in Punch Drunk Love.

100% this.
It’s not like every criticism of him is racist, but some most definitely are, even if the person posting it doesn’t even know it...shit is not simple (or so black and white, harhar).
Tyshawn obviously is smart and capable as fuck. Proof is all there.
Pro before the age of 18 on one of the most popular board brand.
Owns a hardware company, du rag company, multiple(?) restaurants, breeds bulldogs, probably other shit too.
Pro model on adidas.
Multiple full parts in the last five years.
Last SOTY pick from Phelps.
Front boardslid a fucking moving construction vehicle in traffic.
Blah blah blah.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances he has a full decade worth of absolutely prime skating, and I for one can’t wait to see it unfold. Dude fucking rips and is so fun to watch. Hopefully he starts to skate transition more.

i missed it the first time, he was breaking into his neighbor's apartments? and got the family evicted?
he should have his redemption arc, it's great he reimbursed his mom but now he should go to all the neighbor's whom he burglarized and give them their stuff back. we can call it 'my name is tyshawn'.

Pretty sure Phelps was dead and did not pick Milton. TJ was his last pick. I remember because Suciu deserved it but Milton was the more hellride and a safer guess as to what Phelps would do (not sure I agree he wouldn’t have chose Suciu)
