Contract is about to end

I know he's a big Chris Cole fan so, I'm not entirely sure he would.

Adidas would actually be proper if anything,

He's going to Nike. Bigger contract than Eric or Paul.
and way fucking bigger than Luan or Ishod.

I heard this rumour too from someone who works with Nyjah at Element. Paul was their main dude and I guess he's getting shoved aside to have Nyjah at the helm. Paul is pissed and rumour is he's going to leave when his contract is up. I can only image how ugly a Nyjah X Nike shoe will look like.
-
He should skate for Gatorade, Ballpark Franks and Floyd Mayweather's money company. And some other wack shit like that.
-
I've heard that none of his pro shoes on DC have sold to expectations so I'm not sure how big that Nike contract would be and I'm sure DC would be fine letting him go
-
Wonder if they'll gun for Shane again to get him on DC. He seemed down before to go there before Nike trapped him in.
The one thing I still like about Nike is their team. Even getting Luan just seemed perfect but if they get Nyjah on, it almost ruins that whole thing.

How I feel about it.

Look at his DC shoes, they are fucking ugly (most DC shoes are/were, the recent Miller/Kremer/Cole's seem to be a nice change) and I'm sure his salary requirements vs. what he sold isn't worth it.
Prod is old news, what, he's almost mid 30s or some shit? Koston old? BAs didn't sell well enough (and how many young bloods know or give a fuck about who he is), Janoski's had their run and he's all but faded into obscurity rolling around in money. Nike needs new blood with the fucking lunarlon running shoe shit, Nyjahs image is perfect for them.
-

Naw, Adidas doesn't have the glamour that Nyjah needs to exist. Besides I don't think Nyjah would mesh well with their current riders, could you see him skating next to Busenitz or the Gonz?

In an odd way, I agree but Nike has so many riders that can fill that void. Even if Koston is old news, Nike has Grant Taylor, Ishod, Shane, Malto, Olson and so many more that kids all love. Nyjah fits the DC team way more than Nike. Granted he probably would look right on Nike but just not with the team.

Gonna be Nike head to toe...

Nike is about to cut a bunch of people, gonna shock the system
Hope Emerica recruits some of their riders

Nyjahs been with element since he was 4, I don't see him leaving DC.. They obviously take care of him.
Nyjah in the same league as Michael Jordan, tiger woods, and messi?? Over my dead body

True, and it makes me sick.

It's like the first Element product it was very cohesive and now look at it. The development is there but it obviously didn't come out that way
-
nike gets a lot of hate for "buying" all the best guys but to be honest they actually do help support a lot of awesome skaters and give them better lives. for real. they don't have anyone whack on their team. actually they have one of the least whack teams in all of skateboarding.
i mean shit, the only person i don't like here is Trevor Colden.

i doubt it, seeing as he left fourstar presumably because of nike/nike apparel

i wont believe until conformation. whoever choses nike dudes obviously know how to pick respectful extremely stylish, top best in talent in skating today ishod,luan, grant taylor, cory kennedy, shanoe oneill, those are all some of my favorite guys and nyjah doesn't fit much in that criteria

Completely agree Ty. And the lesser known dudes are getting some Nike shine: Hjalte, Karsten, Brooker. There's a lot of raw talent on their team aside from the big dogs.

I liked the nyjahs but didn't understand the technology or the very premium price. .90bucks? Theirin the problems, but maybe it was the program for the shoes. .Really I saw it heavily relying on Ccs Zumiez and other commercially promoting outlets to string the kiddos in

They sponsor / hook up more than 50% of the AM/semipro scene. I've been to several contests in Europe recently and it's always crazy how everyone rep Nike. So it's normal that they have some good guys who stand out when they actually own the majority of the scene. I think they sponsor too many skateboarders (who probably don't know each other) that their "unofficial" teams make no sense tbh.
Also Nike needs Nyjah because they need the soon to be first gold medalist when skateboarding will be at the Olympics.
-
Remember when Nike would sponsor guys like Todd Jordan.
-
Scuba is the team manager of Nike, right? Nyjah will get on the team just for his trophys.

No, but he knows he's disliked and might keep loyal to DC in order to improve his image.

Nothing Nyjah has ever done has gotten me hyped. I could give a fuck about any of his video parts or his campaign to win SOTY. If he actually ever does get it, that title will become meaningless. The only time I am happy to see Nyjah, is when he is standing on the 2nd place podium, wiping tears from his boyish face. He is the street Shawn White, no better, and in many ways, a lot worse.

The Olympic connection fits for nike x nyjah, but i hope this doesn't happen.
Nike could drop many dudes that don't produce, BA, Omar, Childress, Weiger.......

I heard this rumour too from someone who works with Nyjah at Element. Paul was their main dude and I guess he's getting shoved aside to have Nyjah at the helm. Paul is pissed and rumour is he's going to leave when his contract is up. I can only image how ugly a Nyjah X Nike shoe will look like.
My prediction is that Paul quits Nike in a year and starts a Primitive shoe line, or calls it something else. Dude loves shoes. I'm sure he's already scheming right now. Paul is an entrepreneur at heart. He always has to be making some business move. Skating will be over soon for him as he's stated in interviews that he isn't going to film parts anymore. He basically just skates his park now anyways. He'll transition fully into business-boss-Paul. Weird having grown up being kind of the same age as Paul and thinking how that kid in Street Cinema who was the future of skateboarding is now on his way out due to old age. Time flies. Kind of off topic, but who wants to talk about Nigel Helston anyways.

Prod not filming any more parts is a real stretch. I'm pretty sure he still has a decade of pro skating left in him, unless he decides to start his acting career much sooner than originaly planned.

I find this funny. All the zumiez stores had a HUGE leftover stock of the first Nyjah shoe. I think it is a decent looking shoe. I bought a couple pairs, and they're honestly the most durable shoe I've ever skated. The soles last forever. They probably last 5 times longer than any shoe I've ever skated. I recently found some of the less desirable colorways of the Nyjah on Amazon for $19 a pair. I have 2 years worth of shoes to skate now.
Well, they could never admit it, but selling more durable shoes is not great for business, you sell less, less durable and still reputable is the perfect combo

Disagree, no one will ever legitimize this company in skateboarding, you are whack the minute you put those shoes on to skate.

Bobby fully on Nike, good news to me.

I can't imagine why nike wouldn't offer nyjah a crazy contract. Think about it, nike owns street league and 90% of street league contests are won by this guy wearing dc's. They can't be hyped on that. They want those average top 3 guys up there wearing nike so all the kids there will think nike must be the best and go buy them. Whether nyjah will actually go, who knows, but it wouldn't surprise me since it seems that dude reallllyy loves money.

because nyjah does not fit their image. how can nobody not look at the nike team and see how out of place nyjah would be on it. nike actually recruits dudes it seems ONLY with character and style while also of course, secondly being in the top tier. nyjah is just top tier

I think he said at some point that he is hyped on street league because it is a new kinda challenge in skateboarding for him, and that he's filmed so many parts that it's no longer such an interesting process to him. But dude definitely has at least a good 5 years of progressive professional skateboarding ahead, he just did a nollie flip crooks nollie heel out on a handrail and probably the first ever crooks nollie late flip down a handrail in streetleague last week. I'm sure he's gonna film a couple parts to get that primitive shit really going

I'm curious to see what happens. It makes perfect sense for him and Nike. It has nothing to do with actual skateboarding. But yeah,,,,, in that mainstream sense, why wouldn't Nike want ALL of the podium dudes. I'm sure that they will cut a bunch of dudes to make it happen too. Integrity is nothing to them so why not?
Aww fuck, the more I type.... the more bitter I get.

I never understood why people (not saying you, specifically) had a problem with Nike flowing so many people. Clearly those guys weren't getting hooked up from anyone else, so what are they supposed to say, no? I'm always hyped to see those raw dudes getting hooked up (Juras, Hjalte, Karsten, etc), and really hyped to see Brooker and Jones in VASE.

You're right and what you say is not in contradiction with my first answer. To put it simply, I'm stocked that these guys (and some more local talents) are getting some help but it sucks that it's done by Nike (for all what we know about Nike, their ethics, way to operate, intents...) but only them have the $$$ to do that.

So pretty much dc had Nyah for not nearly as much money as you would expect because they signed him on a deal right when he was first coming back on element. So contract is running up Nike hits him with a fucked up deal for shoes and apparel, he hits dc to match it and they won't it's too crazy. So he'll be off ayc as well. Who cares.

Yes it would be in the millions for P-rod and Nyjah, no where close to that for most of the rest of their team though.

I read when he got on Nike, Paul signed a 4 year contract. But I dont remember if it was 1 million a year, or 1 million total (250000$/year).

Nyjah fits nike's image more than anyone. They want to make skateboarding a sport, thats why they bought the whole contest series that nyjah happens to kill. At the end of the day, nike does not care about core skateboarding, they care about making money, and so does nyjah. They do this by broadcasting a sterile contest with commontary that explains skateboarding to people who dont know so they can think they relate.

Makes sense, but i was a big fan of Nike's team because a lot of the non-legends on the team have been on since they were Am's or even flow (GT, Shane, Cory, Ishod, Daryl Angel, Justin Brock). The only big name they've poached since Koston in recent years is Malto. Sort of wack Nyjah's gonna get on and immediately get a shoe, when guys like Ishod and Luan are killing it and don't have one.

Wouldn't it be nice if skateboarders got paid lots of money regardless of who it is from? Shit if my boss decided to give me a raise of 50grand a year I wouldn't say no. But 50 grand a month? You guys are just dreaming you had that kinda coke and whore money!
You may not be about money, but if you are hustling and trying to make a living, food and a roof is first and foremost and I bet you guys don't live on rice cakes and beans.
The industry is still contracting, while these grassroots brands slowly creep in. Nike has more money than the entire skateboard industry combined. Don't pretend they won't or don't have an effect. This isn't year one of them getting in the game. Their gross profit last year was 12.5billion, their cash in the bank is 5.9billion. They can afford to buy the entire industry.
You should all remember the minimum for a rookie in the NFL is $350000 a year, $525000 in the NHL, MLB $500000. Not everyone gets jordan contracts or signs 100 million dollar deals out of high school. But the top skateboarders should get big bucks. Breaking yourself off for a 3 min part that will sell on iTunes where you may get a few grand is really just pointless.

I've heard that none of his pro shoes on DC have sold to expectations so I'm not sure how big that Nike contract would be and I'm sure DC would be fine letting him go
I'm not surprised, they mad a lot of high tops in his first model and I'm a big fan of shoes with ankle support but his high tops look like the cheap shitty mall shoes DC makes, and his new model is so crazy expensive no ones going to buy it, I saw his new model in clearance the other day for $85, $85 is not clearance.

What was Nyjah on before DC? I am drawing a blank
eS'
I've heard about this move to Nike as well. Nike should focus more on dudes like Ishod in my opinion, I feel like if he had a shoe it would sell really well.

Ishod has a shoe for spring 16, it got posted in the "upcoming nikes" thread of shoes/gear.

That rules. I don't understand why shoe companies will give one pro 9 shoes before giving other pros one.

Nyjah fits nike's image more than anyone. They want to make skateboarding a sport, thats why they bought the whole contest series that nyjah happens to kill. At the end of the day, nike does not care about core skateboarding, they care about making money, and so does nyjah. They do this by broadcasting a sterile contest with commontary that explains skateboarding to people who dont know so they can think they relate.
Please name me one company that doesnt care about making money you ignorant clod. Im so sick of this argument. Nyjah sucks, Nike Sucks so why do you care?
Im lacing up my GT's and going skating.

Remember hearing part of P-rod's contract is a new shoe ever year, so that most likely limits the likelihood of others getting a shoe.

He's going to Nike. Bigger contract than Eric or Paul.
and way fucking bigger than Luan or Ishod.
I heard this rumour too from someone who works with Nyjah at Element. Paul was their main dude and I guess he's getting shoved aside to have Nyjah at the helm. Paul is pissed and rumour is he's going to leave when his contract is up. I can only image how ugly a Nyjah X Nike shoe will look like.
My prediction is that Paul quits Nike in a year and starts a Primitive shoe line, or calls it something else. Dude loves shoes. I'm sure he's already scheming right now. Paul is an entrepreneur at heart. He always has to be making some business move. Skating will be over soon for him as he's stated in interviews that he isn't going to film parts anymore. He basically just skates his park now anyways. He'll transition fully into business-boss-Paul. Weird having grown up being kind of the same age as Paul and thinking how that kid in Street Cinema who was the future of skateboarding is now on his way out due to old age. Time flies. Kind of off topic, but who wants to talk about Nigel Helston anyways.
He's one of the main skaters in Ty's new vid. Paul ain't retiring anytime soon.

Of course all companies care about making money, that's the nature of business in general. The point is actual skate companies care about other things to do with skating and not just making money from it while it's booming.
Kook Away.

Makes sense, but i was a big fan of Nike's team because a lot of the non-legends on the team have been on since they were Am's or even flow (GT, Shane, Cory, Ishod, Daryl Angel, Justin Brock). The only big name they've poached since Koston in recent years is Malto. Sort of wack Nyjah's gonna get on and immediately get a shoe, when guys like Ishod and Luan are killing it and don't have one.
Nike didn't poach Koston. He left Lakai due to some financial irregularities or some shit like that. It's been talked about many, many times.

I know the story about Podium being sketchy, but Nike still clearly threw an insane amount of money at Koston to bring him into the fold, it isn't like he only had one offer.

It has been alluded to many, many times, but I don't recall seeing the whole story spelled out. It always seemed to me they just made it seem like Koston had no choice but to go to Nike, it was still fairly controversial to sign up back then, which is why Nike was going after the underpaid and hungry skaters.
Addressing the "every company wants to make money." I disagree, I think many companies want to make awesome products and be part of the skateboarding culture. They have to make money in order to do so, but the goal is not profits itself. The goal is to be a part of something. Those are the companies I try and support, the ones who are in business because they love skating so much they want to be a part of it. The companies that are in skateboarding strictly because they see an opportunity to make bucks, like Nike and like Street League, have nothing to do with me or that scene. The difference might be summed up as the difference between companies that want to stay in business, and companies that want to put other companies out of business. Nike is on the wrong side of that line.

this might sound corny as hell, but how much money are we talking about when big guys like Nyhja or P-rod sign into new companies? Millions?
Yes it would be in the millions for P-rod and Nyjah, no where close to that for most of the rest of their team though.
I read when he got on Nike, Paul signed a 4 year contract. But I dont remember if it was 1 million a year, or 1 million total (250000$/year).
If I remember correctly it was a three year at 1 million a year. + bonuses (photo incentive, royalties ...)
Another interesting note, I was at my local shop yesterday and the DC rep was in showing some gear. Looks like the Nyjah pro shoes have been pulled and are not getting released...

The entire deal with Nyjah is so strange. Nobody else on Element fits with him, and you could almost bet if he left the company would be legitimized within skateboarding. Westgate, Evan Smith, Nick Garcia, Mark Appleyard, Timtim, Levi Brown...the team is fucking stacked. I often forget Nyjah even skates for them.
Shoes... I picture him when I think of DC. He should stay, or go, or fuck it, who cares. He should've been a rollerblader.

I completely agree. I wanted to buy a westgate welcome board, the one with the cranberry bog, as a wall hanger but I couldn't bring myself to do it. it is all because I don't like nyjah even though he's obviously great at what he does. like others already said Nike will become even more polarizing if he signs on.

I feel like Nyjah is so ingrained into the contest circuit that it's an odd sight to see him on the streets or anywhere the rest of the Element team might go, I dunno if he goes to demos or not, doesn't seem like he would even skate them, maybe just sign hats and decks or something, sit around being above it all.

Does anyone here work at or own a skateshop? Do Nyjah decks even sell? I've never seen any on the streets or at the parks in the last few years since his Street League come up.

That rules. I don't understand why shoe companies will give one pro 9 shoes before giving other pros one.
With all the vulc and cheaper models, Prod is probably getting on for 15 different models now.
I guess that nobody on Slap will be rushing out to buy a 9jar Nike SB shoe. I had to look up his DC shoe (never seen them in the skateshops)... fuck that N2 is an ugly looking shoe!

Nyjah's sure a contest skater who doesn't skate street at all. Let's just forget about his:
Rise n' Shine part(back to back bs 270 lip, flip backlip - Hollywood 16)
Welcome to DC Part(nollie bs heel - Wilshire 15)
Last Call Part(hardflip bs 5-0 - Clipper)
DC Signature Model(bs noseblunt - Hollywood 16)
Welcome to AYC(360 flip smith - A handrail)
DC Fade To Black(won skateboarding)
AYC Signature Line(hard way fs 180 nosegrind to straight - A handrail)
Nyjah puts out more fucking Street footage than everyone else out there. The only reason he hasn't put out anything recently is because Element is making a full lenght video.

I am asking genuinely, can someone give me a snapshot or high level view of Nyjah's history of kookery? Is it just his partying image? Is it bc he is so active on the contest circuit?? I've never paid very close attention to his career, but he seems to get a ton of hate and I never really considered why. To me, Nyjah just seems like an awkward kid that had a maladjusted youth, being brought up by an overbearing and controlling Coach Dad. The guy has unbelievable talent. Just never understood the hate, but I'm sure there are many valid reasons.
And who is it for ANYONE to judge whether or not he "has fun" while skating. Literally, one of the dumbest and most absurd things I've ever read on Slap was people hating on Fade to Black because "it didn't look like he was having fun". Just outrageously stupid.

First thing for me was when he said girls shouldnt skate...then latter backpeddals to say Phelps was a wierd guy and tricked him into saying it...and then apologizes on on his social media (not on Thrasher), since I don't have social media, I didn't know he apologized for months, had to find out through Transworld

Dudes fake as fuck a lot of times. In his foundation for getting clean water to people in need (which is great btw,) he said "ive been dreaming about doing this my entire life." Really Nyjah? because it seems like you dream more about what cute color you want to wrap your super car in this month. After luan won SL, he said congrats and all, smiles for the cameras, then turns away while saying "Fuuuck." Seems the only skate friends he hangs out with are David Loy and Chase Webb, and not Jaws haha. And he talks like a valley girl with a marble mouth.

no nyjah shoe for dc pre-order spring 2016, but a sick evan smith pro model.

I'm surprised DC would make him a second pro model so close to his contract expiring... that is a lot of resources to put into someone who's future at the company is an unknown. But maybe that was part of their pitch in trying to persuade him to stay. Anyways, wouldn't be surprised, but seems like it would not be wise since Bobby Worrest is not yet a millionaire and has only had 0 of the 30 Nike pro models he deserves thus far.

Barely? He kills every single AYC tour that's been out. He killed KOTR too. I grew up watching guys like PJ Ladd, Muska, Dollin etc. Nyjah seriously puts out more actual street footage more than anyone else, that while winning every single contest possible. His early footage when he was like 9 is still way more impressive than a lot of pros put out. I could understand if it was Chaz Ortiz you were talking about, but this is Nyjah. The kid put out killer parts when he was around 10~ before getting known in the contest circuit.
No, it's not called being a fanboy. It's called being real and not joining the hate bandwagon for no reason. If you wanna talk about people not putting enough on the streets, then how about PJ Ladd after Flip Really Sorry? How come Bob Burnquist keeps putting out a megaramp part one after another while Danny Way is still a questionmark? Janoski quit after his shoe became mainstream? Same thing with Muska? Where's Bryan Herman?
Notice how a lot of pros "disappear" once they make it $$$. No matter how much of a success Nyjah becomes he will always strive for more in skateboarding as far as level goes. That itself is respect if you look at what happens to the lot that "make it"

I'm pretty sure the only way to make him lose a contest is to jinx him by making direct eye contact with him and making a punching motion over and over.

Sounds like you view the flippiest, spinniest tricks on the most stairs, as the main ingredient of good skateboarding. That's the same train of thought of kids who haven't skated longer than 2 years. For me personally, style trumps all. Something Nyjah lacks. He does the hardest tricks yes, but they look like shit. Another thing is attitude. He doesn't have a humble bone in his body. He's the face of mainstream skateboarding, and at the same time a fucking douchebag. Attracting like minded douches to this thing we all love. So there's some reasons for you.
As for Janoski and Muska, yes they made a lot of money, and transitioned into more creative outlets. Nothing wrong with that, and they aren't 20 years old like the dude you're comparing them to. ??? Oh and Herman's on the Baker tour, right after he killed it on the Stay Flared tour.

It's done. 9 mill for 5 years is the contract. Nobody on the team was consulted about adding Nine-Jah to the team, a senior level business director at Nike made the call after he saw that Nyguuh was winning all the Nike SB sponsored Street League contests instead of Paul who had been their "contest guy" for years. From what I understand, riders have already protested having to go on trips with him. And if Nike really fired Hewitt for weed, then they are going to have their hands full with Nyjuhhhhh, who has reportedly been busted 4 to 5 teams for narcotics possession (mostly coke and molly). Charges which his high powered Hollywood management team has made go away as to avoid public scrutiny. Way to go Nike. Why can't you just make quality shoes and sponsor the RIGHT people instead of getting wrapped up in the bullshit. Hella stoops.

The entire deal with Nyjah is so strange. Nobody else on Element fits with him, and you could almost bet if he left the company would be legitimized� within skateboarding. Westgate, Evan Smith, Nick Garcia, Mark Appleyard, Timtim, Levi Brown...the team is fucking stacked. I often forget Nyjah even skates for them.
Shoes... I picture him when I think of DC. He should stay, or go, or fuck it, who cares. He should've been a rollerblader.
I feel like Nyjah is so ingrained into the contest circuit that it's an odd sight to see him on the streets or anywhere the rest of the Element team might go, I dunno if he goes to demos or not, doesn't seem like he would even skate them, maybe just sign hats and decks or something, sit around being above it all.�
Rise n' Shine part(back to back bs 270 lip, flip backlip - Hollywood 16)
Welcome to DC Part(nollie bs heel - Wilshire 15)
Last Call Part(hardflip bs 5-0 - Clipper)
DC Signature Model(bs noseblunt - Hollywood 16)
Welcome to AYC(360 flip smith - A handrail)
DC Fade To Black(won skateboarding)
AYC Signature Line(hard way fs 180 nosegrind to straight - A handrail)
Nyjah puts out more fucking Street footage than everyone else out there. The only reason he hasn't put out anything recently is because Element is making a full lenght video.
Bit of a Nyjah fan? Nyjah gets tricks in the streets sure but compared to other skaters he's rarely seen in tour videos or IG clips ( his last street post was 4 weeks ago). He's a park skater.
No, it's not called being a fanboy. It's called being real and not joining the hate bandwagon for no reason. If you wanna talk about people not putting enough on the streets, then how about PJ Ladd after Flip Really Sorry? How come Bob Burnquist keeps putting out a megaramp part one after another while Danny Way is still a questionmark? Janoski quit after his shoe became mainstream? Same thing with Muska? Where's Bryan Herman?
Notice how a lot of pros "disappear" once they make it $$$. No matter how much of a success Nyjah becomes he will always strive for more in skateboarding as far as level goes. That itself is respect if you look at what happens to the lot that "make it"
Muska is legend status, he can do what he likes.
Herman has had a flawless career so far, he's had parts in every major video he's sponsors have released as well as touring etc. on top of that, he's Bryan Herman. One of the most stylish to ever do it.

Bryan Herman is a fucking straight G. You cant compare Nyjah to him, completely different skaters but i wouldnt say Nyjah has more "skill" then herm dawg

This is funny and maybe all these questions have already been asked but:
Do you think your favorite Nike pro/am will quit, stop taking Nike money, and go back to a "core" team?
Why do people hate Nyjah so much? Are there any really stories out there of him being a huge dick, a douchebag, stealing someone's laptop, etc. or is it just because he's too good but takes contests too seriously, dresses funny and doesn't have a good style? I know he posted that shit on insta, but the hates been coming since a long before that.
Is this really going to make all the people out there who buy Nike stop buying Nike? Maybe if the team starts dropping off, but that'll just give Nike more opportunity to add Chris Cole.
-
If you think about it. Nyjah has had it way way harder than cobra cole.
Thats total bullshit. Nyjah had a entire skatepark to himself since he was four, not to mention a dad who banned him from going to school just to make him skate everyday. He never had to buy anytthing skateboarding releated in his life. (decks, trucks, shoes, etc.)
-
Barely? He kills every single AYC tour that's been out. He killed KOTR too. I grew up watching guys like PJ Ladd, Muska, Dollin etc. Nyjah seriously puts out more actual street footage more than anyone else, that while winning every single contest possible. His early footage when he was like 9 is still way more impressive than a lot of pros put out. I could understand if it was Chaz Ortiz you were talking about, but this is Nyjah. The kid put out killer parts when he was around 10~ before getting known in the contest circuit.

As for Janoski and Muska, yes they made a lot of money, and transitioned into more creative outlets. Nothing wrong with that, and they aren't 20 years old like the dude you're comparing them to. ??? Oh and Herman's on the Baker tour, right after he killed it on the Stay Flared tour.
No. You just make yourself sound like an idiot. The fact that he said that skateboarding isn't for girls at all in a Thrasher interview is a valid reason to hate on him. That's something that has to do with sksteboarding. Skateboarding is for everyone. I don't see you pointing out any of those reasons. You guys only point out the amount of times he changes color of his car, how many parties and random girls he throws etc. That's his private life, it has nothing to do with skateboarding so I couldnt care less. Jealousy much? The fact that you consider his private life and skateboarding pretty much the same thing is beyond me.
Also, his style may not be like Luan's, but claiming everything he does looks like shit is just ignorant. There are people out there with way more wavy arms, sketchy landings, downward flippers. Nyjah wouldn't even qualify as top 50 of pros with worst style.
I do back the hate on skateboard related things like saying a certain group shouldn't skate at all in a Thrasher interview when skateboarding is for everyone. The lack of respect for the older generation who opened the doors for everyone by doing their thing. Nyjah said that everything they did back then is a first try warm up trick for him on Weekend Buzz. Now those are legit reasons to hate. I don't see any of you bringing it up. Do you a uctually give a fuck about what that dude does on his spare time when he isn't skateboarding? I sure as hell only care what that dude does on a skateboard and nothing else. It's not like he's going to do a Sheckler and make a TV show and bring his private life into skateboarding.
Last thing. Cheesy sponsorship choices is one thing too. But as a professional skateboarder you gotta do what you have to do in order to survive, unless you start your company. Once you're out you're out. Every year skateboarding is less years of experience in the real world when it comes to work. Remember that.
-
Element, or anyone, wanting to sponsor Nyjah seems like a no brainer. Why wouldn't you want your own money printing machine?
-
Nyjah is hated on because he's pure athlete. And that's fine if you're into that. But now you have a whole generation of skaters who get into skateboarding purely as a career choice, like choosing to become a pro football or basketball player. Those industries pump out a lot of amazing athletes and occasionally in the mix you'll find those who also have a love of the sport itself. But most of them do it for money and fame. For better or worse, that's what's happening to skateboarding and Nyjah epitomizes that. It's like how some sports fans dislike the players who seem to be all talent and no passion.
-
Dude rips. Period. I honestly don't get the hate.
Don't like him? Don't fucking watch his skating.
Everyone here acts so damn elitist, pretending they wouldn't take an extra check for SKATEBOARDING! This forum is called "Useless wooden toy banter" right?
-
What's really crazy is there are people who actually choose their college based solely on competitive large-mouth bass fishing teams.

Because skateboarding is something you can become really good at without any passion for it? You're not going to get a paycheck for your first banger. To get there you're either already famous or ate some major shit along the way. You're not going to get even halfway there if you have no passion for it. Why injure yourself constantly when it's not even 100% that you're going to make it all the way there? No, people with no passion would quit and do something else. They will never make it there, ever.
There are cases when the passion have faded away tho... Look at Nordberg. More model than a skateboarder nowadays.

Hi Piss,
Welcome to the Slap Skateboard Magazine forum.
I noticed you think people care about how good somebody is at skateboarding. You are mistaken.
Much in the same way that people who follow other sports hate Derek Jeter, Christiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady, etc. We hate Nyjah. Why do we hate Nyjah? Because he is a bitch. Just like Derek Jeter, Christiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady, etc.
Thanks, I hope this helps.

love and passion vs. drive and motivation. these are different things. someone can succeed academically because they're really motivated to make lots of money and become successful but not care about education that much while some people who aren't as smart love to just learn and read but won't succeed academically because they don't have the drive to be straight A students. some lucky people have passion and motivation.

Studying and skateboarding are two different things to succeed at. It only takes willpower to pick up a pen and a book. Anyone can have a try at it without any further consequences. Same thing goes for a lot of different things in life. It takes way more than willpower to jump off those stairs, rails, ramps etc. Drive and motivation alone isn't enough because you have to actually have to jump down those things a lot of times before you get known all the way to those paychecks.
Why would anyone do that when you can go play soccer, basketball w/e? All of those things pay way more than skateboarding ever will and you don't have to kill yourself in the process of succeeding.
-
so there's no one in boxing or mma who doesn't really care about the sport but does it for the money? how is that different? you're risking your health and possibly even your life for those things but I can guarantee there are people in it who couldn't care less about martial arts or the fighting scene. but it's one of those things in life where it's high risk, huge reward if you succeed. I don't think you could really chalk up the nyjah hate to sheer jealousy. if that were the case, there wouldn't be any popular pro skaters. there's just a je ne sais quois douchiness about him. maybe he just has an image problem.

Hate=Jealousy is a common thing in skateboarding. Every single person who had been successful in contests have been hated on. Ironic how the moment they stop winning the hate disappears.
Tony Hawk was the most hated skateboarder alive when he was in his prime.
Rodney Mullen was hated on too.
Ryan Sheckler was hated on when he won everything.
Greg Lutzka was hated on when he won every single Tampa Pro.
Chris Cole was hated on when he kept winning all those Maloof Money Cups.
Pedro Barros was hated on when he won every single bowl contest.
That's the thing with skateboarding. People hate on everyone who is successful in skateboarding no matter what. I swear, if Nyjah no longer won any contests and Luan would be winning everything the hate would transfer from Nyjah to Luan in an instant. That's how it's always been in skateboarding. The moment a person is less "successful" in skateboarding the hate fades and transfers to the next successful dude around the corner.
I can proudly say that I'm not one of those bandwagon haters.

I've personally never hated on anyone in that list. There are also less successful pros that people hate on because the person is a douche. The thread "Skaters who annoy you for no particular reason" is full of pros that people dislike, and a lot of those pros are not your Street League-type people.

That seems like something Nyjah would fucking love to do. And when you're broadcasting your private life out to millions of followers on purpose, is that really private?
Is Nyjah doing what he has to do to survive?? Bought his lil sis a brand new benz... survival? Riced out his super car like fast and furious... survival? Dude could never make another dollar in his life, and still be well off.
Now please rebuttal with your shitty opinion that you view as fact.

I know right? Why would skateboarders, who have embraced an activity due to its lack of inherent competition, dislike anyone who tries to capitalize purely off "winning skateboarding." I dunno man, the world is a scary and confusing place.

Being able to support your family in the best possible way you can is indeed "survival" in itself. Also... What the fuck has him buying a Benz for his little sister anything to do with skateboarding at all? Go fuck yourself.

In that case all setup and gear posted on Slap are work-related and has nothing to do with skateboarding at all. The money you buy everything with comes from working. In other words, everything you spend your money becomes work-related because without the work, you wouldn't be able to afford anything at all, right? Nyjah's work is skateboarding. Whatever he does with the money has nothing to do with skateboarding at all. It's his money just like they money we all make out of a job is ours. Everyone on Slap like to show off and post their stuff because there are people out there who can't afford it.
Note: Instagram is a picture/video app. What else are you supposed to use it for other than post stuff?
Nyjah is also free to post what the hell he wants. Just because he's more famous than a regular person doesn't mean he has less rights to use the social media than us. I've seen people work to buy someone else a skateboard then post it on Instagram. Is that just to show off? Same thing goes for his Youtube account. It's called Nyjah Huston, not Nyjah Huston Skateboarding. Remember that a Benz to Nyjah may be like a skateboard to someone else and a private jet to Jay Z may be like a Benz to Nyjah. Just saying.

I don't think he's wrong. He has a good point. Skaters have always had some fantasy about what's pure and who is pure. They can't get over their 1970's/80's punk rock dirt bag stereotype to realize that skateboarding attracts all types...even the types who you would not normally hang around. I know it sucks to realize that Nyjah had a certain amount of privilege that made skateboarding very accessible but in the end, he's just better than a lot of pros and puts more work into being a professional than a lot of your favorite pros and it bothers people.

I did adress that one saying "Same thing goes for his youtube account. It's called Nyjah Huston, not Nyjah Huston skateboarding." You can't really compare a MTV show that Sheckler got because of skateboarding, reflecting skateboarding in a way that absolutely isn't skateboarding at all - to Nyjah making a simple Youtube channel. I see it as two completely different things.
I'm not saying I'm right. If I'm completely wrong and have offended you then I'm sorry, I guess. I don't really like Nyjah too much tbh. I just find it strange how everyone keeps calling him out on being way too competitive when guys like Luan, Ishod etc competes just as much. Probably more if you think about it. The difference between them is that Nyjah so happens to win 90% of the contests he enters. Every contest he's in, Luan and Ishod are in too. Luan and Ishod do also compete in Europe(Far n High, CPH Pro). Nyjah only competes in the big contests. They compete more than Nyjah while Nyjah wins more than anyone else. People tend to forget that. They've also been in BATB more than Nyjah.
Everyone makes it sound way worse than it actually is. That all he does is skate contests, no street etc. He wins everything he enters, or atleast did. Luan has won all the $$$ this year so far. The contests he enters aren't that many compared to everyone else. Even Kelvin Hoeffler is ranked higher than Nyjah in contest series without winning any of those big contests, ever.

Here's my point.
You said "its not like he's going to do a sheckler and make a tv show and bring his private life into skateboarding."
I'm just curious, why are you so sure? I think he would love an MTV show. And now that you mention it, doesn't seem far off that he'd actually get one.
Also, why throw Sheckler under the bus then? His show wasn't The 'Skateboarding' Life of Ryan. Because it's implied. Same with Nyjah. It's not 'Nyjah Huston Skateboarding,' because it's already implied.

I do back the hate on skateboard related things like saying a certain group shouldn't skate at all in a Thrasher interview when skateboarding is for everyone. The lack of respect for the older generation who opened the doors for everyone by doing their thing. Nyjah said that everything they did back then is a first try warm up trick for him on Weekend Buzz. Now those are legit reasons to hate. I don't see any of you bringing it up. Do you a uctually give a fuck about what that dude does on his spare time when he isn't skateboarding? I sure as hell only care what that dude does on a skateboard and nothing else. It's not like he's going to do a Sheckler and make a TV show and bring his private life into skateboarding.
Last thing. Cheesy sponsorship choices is one thing too. But as a professional skateboarder you gotta do what you have to do in order to survive, unless you start your company. Once you're out you're out. Every year skateboarding is less years of experience in the real world when it comes to work. Remember that.
Is Nyjah doing what he has to do to survive?? Bought his lil sis a brand new benz... survival? Riced out his super car like fast and furious... survival? Dude could never make another dollar in his life, and still be well off.
Now please rebuttal with your shitty opinion that you view as fact.
I mean he bought it from skateboarding. Then chose to take a picture of it, and post it on the internet, to show how awesome and rich he is. He totally could have kept that in his private life right?� ;)

It's done. 9 mill for 5 years is the contract. Nobody on the team was consulted about adding Nine-Jah to the team, a senior level business director at Nike made the call after he saw that Nyguuh was winning all the Nike SB sponsored Street League contests instead of Paul who had been their "contest guy" for years. From what I understand, riders have already protested having to go on trips with him. And if Nike really fired Hewitt for weed, then they are going to have their hands full with Nyjuhhhhh, who has reportedly been busted 4 to 5 teams for narcotics possession (mostly coke and molly). Charges which his high powered Hollywood management team has made go away as to avoid public scrutiny. Way to go Nike. Why can't you just make quality shoes and sponsor the RIGHT people instead of getting wrapped up in the bullshit. Hella stoops.
lol where did you get any of these facts??

you are pretty jaded. there's no way in hell if luan or ishod started winning like nyjah that the "hate would transpire". you must look at skateboarding in an unbelievably shallow way to even compare those guys. ishod and luan are members of the new class of kids who have ridiculous style coupled with being the best out, also not BEING WEIRDOS. they somehow mix quality WITH quantity. nyjah has proved time in again within interviews that he has some weird shit going on in his head, and he does have poor style. maybe not worst, but poor. if you cant grasp that those little factors generate all his hate, then have fun on your deluded cloud of judgement, where personality is written by the public opinion

Here's my point.
You said "its not like he's going to do a sheckler and make a tv show and bring his private life into skateboarding."
I'm just curious, why are you so sure? I think he would love an MTV show. And now that you mention it, doesn't seem far off that he'd actually get one.
Also, why throw Sheckler under the bus then? His show wasn't The 'Skateboarding' Life of Ryan. Because it's implied. Same with Nyjah. It's not 'Nyjah Huston Skateboarding,' because it's already implied.
I'm not sure. I just don't think anyone would repeat a Sheckler after seeing what he went through and the amount of time it took to redeem himself. Do you seriously compare a scrippted worldwide MTV show with a dedicated filming crew with nothing in goal but to generate a huge amount of $$$ to Nyjah's Youtube video? Anyone can make a Youtube channel posting a Thanksgiving Dinner, holy shit. It's a Thanksgiving Dinner with his crew. The only thing that comes close to the MTV show is Cole's Motiviation 2 movie. Besides, if you wanted to post a youtube video of him making a fool out of himself and skateboarding. That one isn't the one. I'm not defending Nyjah. He's done some sketchy shit, just that everything you guys post doesn't add up to the hate, just jealousy. There's a video of him and Nicole Richie skating his privatepark which is sketchy as hell beyond defending. Use that one next time, k? Still doesn't compare to a dedicated worldwide TV show tho.
To whoever says Nyjah doesn't get hated because he wins but because of his style and attitude. Pedro Barros has an awesome style, still got hated on when he won everything. Cole may not be stylish, but he's the most humble dude out there in interviews, still hated on when he won everything.
-
I think some of the hate comes from going from rasta to swag.
Look at Cole who went from fresh to hesh and then monster nascar logo racecar.
Look at Mike V who went from outspoken vegan to meat eating meathead.
It's disingenuous and breeds distrust when you once backed a guy for being one thing, and then he embodies the thing you dislike/hate.
I liked rasta nyjah and I didn't get too suspicious when he shed the dreads because other rastafarian skateboarders have done it, but internalized the lifestyle and religion.
Now he's just like Andy Mac to me. Skilled at trick riding a skateboard with a shit style, trying to win contests, and trying to make a buck wherever possible using skateboarding as a means. At least Andy Mac is consistent since he was a kook from the get go. There's a difference between modeling and whoring yourself out, too.

^ Now that's an honest opinion and real talk on why people may breed dislike upon somebody else. I don't think the rastafarian lifestyle was Nyjah's choice though. It's his father's doing against his will. It's only natural that he throws the rastafarian lifestyle away the second he's in control of his own life and gets to make his own choices as the rastafarian lifestyle was never his choice to begin with but his father's.
It's different for Chris Cole and Mike V as they had their own choices from the very start. So I can't disagree with you on those two. Cudos

I really don't know what was in Nyjah's head regarding the rasta thing. He may have been doing it as it related to his father but it may not have been something he wanted to continue as an adult. But I really get tired of the argument that someone who changes his look from what he looked like as a teen/early adult is some kind of fake. Some people may look the same but are they "keeping it real" or are they like those ladies with bee hive hairdos: they can't move on from the time they thought they were cool. Many people start to do vegan and switch later (it's not an easy lifestyle to maintain). Some people don't want to see themselves in the mirror wearing XL shirts and 40 inch waist jeans (actual waist 32) when they are over 21. And none of this outer appearance stuff gives you a definitive answer on what someone's personality or work ethic is like. I know I'm glad not to be looking the same way I did when I was 18. Hell, I'm glad I don't wear the same shit I wore last year.

Name your current favorite skateboarder.
Now imagine that guy as a juggalo or racist or super corporate or misogynist or murderer or hate crime perp or whatever offends your sensibility or even personal aesthetics. Still same skater, still rips, but you hate the shit out of what that person is now and can't separate that personal identity regardless of how sick his footage may be.
People change, but do I still have to like this guy and support what he does?
The answer for me is no.

the "hater" argument is so played out. you can acknowledge a person's skill or talent or success and still not be a fan of that person overall. it happens all the time in every area of life, whether it's sports, music, professional bodybuilding, fiction writing, or fashion design. skateboarding is not an exception.

Speaking from the perspective of a highly competitive, results oriented person, Nyjah is the best at what he does (win contests), and has the bank account to prove it.
Speaking from the perspective of a skateboarder, contests aren't my thing, but I find it amazing to see the stuff he pulls seemingly out of his ass, back to back, in the middle of a contest run.
The progression and consistency he brings to the table is incredible, and he forces the dudes that aren't on his level, but close, to be better.

The entire deal with Nyjah is so strange. Nobody else on Element fits with him, and you could almost bet if he left the company would be legitimized� within skateboarding. Westgate, Evan Smith, Nick Garcia, Mark Appleyard, Timtim, Levi Brown...the team is fucking stacked. I often forget Nyjah even skates for them.
Shoes... I picture him when I think of DC. He should stay, or go, or fuck it, who cares. He should've been a rollerblader.
I feel like Nyjah is so ingrained into the contest circuit that it's an odd sight to see him on the streets or anywhere the rest of the Element team might go, I dunno if he goes to demos or not, doesn't seem like he would even skate them, maybe just sign hats and decks or something, sit around being above it all.�
Rise n' Shine part(back to back bs 270 lip, flip backlip - Hollywood 16)
Welcome to DC Part(nollie bs heel - Wilshire 15)
Last Call Part(hardflip bs 5-0 - Clipper)
DC Signature Model(bs noseblunt - Hollywood 16)
Welcome to AYC(360 flip smith - A handrail)
DC Fade To Black(won skateboarding)
AYC Signature Line(hard way fs 180 nosegrind to straight - A handrail)
Nyjah puts out more fucking Street footage than everyone else out there. The only reason he hasn't put out anything recently is because Element is making a full lenght video.
Bit of a Nyjah fan? Nyjah gets tricks in the streets sure but compared to other skaters he's rarely seen in tour videos or IG clips ( his last street post was 4 weeks ago). He's a park skater.
No, it's not called being a fanboy. It's called being real and not joining the hate bandwagon for no reason. If you wanna talk about people not putting enough on the streets, then how about PJ Ladd after Flip Really Sorry? How come Bob Burnquist keeps putting out a megaramp part one after another while Danny Way is still a questionmark? Janoski quit after his shoe became mainstream? Same thing with Muska? Where's Bryan Herman?
Notice how a lot of pros "disappear" once they make it $$$. No matter how much of a success Nyjah becomes he will always strive for more in skateboarding as far as level goes. That itself is respect if you look at what happens to the lot that "make it"
In the last 3 years I'd think guys like Suciu, Ishod, Wes and Cory Kennedy have put out more footage. And Shane puts out just as much footage, is a contest skater and has just as insane tricks in regards to NBD's.

If it's true, I wonder if he'll make the deadline for Chronicles 3. If anyone could film a part in such a short time period it would be Nyjah.

Nyjah cries when he doesn't win, he literally cries. And when Luan beat him this last Street League, Nyjah got all passive aggressive on Instagram. I don't care how many tricks he can do, Nyjah has never got me hyped on anything he's ever done. I'd rather watch Ishod skate flat ground in a parking lot, than any of Nyjah's video parts. I could care less about any video part he put out. I just ignore him, he might as well not exist. I just wish he wouldn't be so public, because he's bringing all types of marc-ass busters into something that I love.

Not really. Yngwe malmsteen was pretty obscure. Overly technical. He never really entered the mainstream or was very popular. He's probably closer to Joey Brezinski. I could see Nyjah being Kanye West or someone who is that big. His tricks are all pretty much mainstream hammers.

I don't think he's wrong. He has a good point. Skaters have always had some fantasy about what's pure and who is pure. They can't get over their 1970's/80's punk rock dirt bag stereotype to realize that skateboarding attracts all types...even the types who you would not normally hang around. I know it sucks to realize that Nyjah had a certain amount of privilege that made skateboarding very accessible but in the end, he's just better than a lot of pros and puts more work into being a professional than a lot of your favorite pros and it bothers people.
He certainly doesn't put a lot of work into coming off as a professional. Having parties and behaving like Justin Bieber? When a skater appears in TMZ that's not a good sign.
I think some of the hate comes from going from rasta to swag.
Look at Cole who went from fresh to hesh and then monster nascar logo racecar.

Nike Guide to Skateboarding Takeover.
Step 1. Sponsor some well-respected skaters and gently come off as a skateboard loving brand, quietly. Not making too much of a splash as to alarm people. Think Reese Shimizu Mulder Todd Jordan.
Step 2. Creep a little further in. Grab some up and coming dudes. Start making a video because people are starting to respect us. Daryl Angel Justin Brock Salazar etc.
Step 3. Let's get our hands in some of these events now and really begin our investment. Street League, etc.
Step 4. Total annihilation. Seek out most mainstream, profitable pros with reach aka Nyjah. Get hands in everything. Make as much money as possible. We are here to stay. Fuck all of you. Ride this wave as hard as possible.
Step 5. Profit.
Step 6. Basketball.

nike seems like a team where the most stylish dudes in the world get picked for. cory ishod luan prod gt nugget Justin brock kevin Bradley angel janoski etc. I was hesitant ab nikes at first but literally all of my favorite skaters wore them, not one kook on the team I can think of
Nike define story has a tons of style guys. Maybe the most stylish of all with Gino. BA isn't too shabby either. I will disagree with you on the no looks and say Trevor Colden is fully a kook in my book.
Since the start of this iteration of SB, Nike have been extremely calculated and clever with who they pick for their team.
From what I was told, he would end up on Nike but not end up on the 'core' team, like with Omar, BA, Koston, Colden, Gino, etc...
Like Nike SB will milk the shit out of Nyjah but not really part of the SB team.
It's really confusing.
nyjah on 6.0
wonder if he'll be on some Tiger Woods shit and start skating in Air Force ones because he loves Cyrus so much

today I heard: September 15th, 8 years; $20 million
an 8 year contract in skateboarding sounds a little unrealistic due to the probability of injury or other possible career ending factors.
Yes, those are silly numbers to throw around, but has Stefan Janoski done anything of note lately? He probably sells more shoes to the "Andy from Accounting" types than the rest of the skate shoe industry save for Vans.
jeeez. how many people work in your accounting and HR departments? every Nike thread it's a different staff person.

Haha. Nice to see someone's noticed. I just see so many corporate types wearing casual shoes like Vans and Janoskis every day on the metro and at the office (500+ people). I start labeling people to take away from the boredom of the commute. 55 year old women named Blanche or Jan, 30 year old bro-types who have to be name Thad, otherwise-invisible drones who wear Janoskis named Andy. Yeah, I get bored easily.

Nike Guide to Skateboarding Takeover.
Step 1. Sponsor some well-respected skaters and gently come off as a skateboard loving brand, quietly. Not making too much of a splash as to alarm people. Think Reese Shimizu Mulder Todd Jordan.
Step 2. Creep a little further in. Grab some up and coming dudes. Start making a video because people are starting to respect us. Daryl Angel Justin Brock Salazar etc.
Step 3. Let's get our hands in some of these events now and really begin our investment. Street League, etc.
Step 4. Total annihilation. Seek out most mainstream, profitable pros with reach aka Nyjah. Get hands in everything. Make as much money as possible. We are here to stay. Fuck all of you. Ride this wave as hard as possible.
Step 5. Profit.
Step 6. Basketball.
Step 6 really rings true with me.

Nyjah cries when he doesn't win, he literally cries. And when Luan beat him this last Street League, Nyjah got all passive aggressive on Instagram. I don't care how many tricks he can do, Nyjah has never got me hyped on anything he's ever done. I'd rather watch Ishod skate flat ground in a parking lot, than any of Nyjah's video parts. I could care less about any video part he put out. I just ignore him, he might as well not exist. I just wish he wouldn't be so public, because he's bringing all types of marc-ass busters into something that I love.
iŽm a lil drunk but yeeeah!

im missing your point how the fuck does he lose if he places top 3...if you get 1st it means you deserved to win and just when you think youre at the top there is always some better who will come along and take it! i think once Nyjah is not placing in the leader stand he'll maybe consider chilling out

Who won the last Street League? Was it Nyjah? Did he get 1st place? I thought Luan did, and that's why he's the winner?
Top 3, top 10, 2nd place, whatever. First place is the winner and every other place is the not-the-winner. That's why it's a competition, that's why there are rules, that's why there are scores, that's why there are awards and prizes, that's why there' are rankings, and that's why there are winners and losers. If you give your all and are competing, and you lose, it sucks. I don't mean it in a competitive drive-off-in-my-porsche way, but the only people who are okay with losing are losers.
I'm not referring to people who are shitty with their lives. I'm referring to not winning a competition. I'm talking to all the dipshits are going to quote me and talk about self-worth or whatever.

Maybe he was shitting himself cause he needed that extra 10grand to pay off his drug dealer and second place just wasn't gonna cut it...or maybe he cried because he was saving up for his grandmas hip replacement or his Dads sex change operation. I don't really care for the kid, my point is you never really know what people have going on outside of skating that might be influencing their behavior.

It's a skateboarding contest, not the war for Middle-Earth. The fate of skateboarding isn't up for grabs, just cash prizes relating to a particular contest. It's a sporting event, a display of prowess. It's not defining the culture or any of that shit. It's seeing who is the best within certain parameters. Does no one understand the concept of athleticism or competition? None of this is my particular brand of skateboarding, but how do people not see it for what it is?

With regards to his partying and stuff, I compare him to the kids I went to college with who I'd see unconscious laying on the stairs up to their dorm room covered in vomit because their parents never let them drink in high school. That lack of experience led them to go completely fucking nuts when they went to college and those were the kids that ended up getting alcohol poisoning. Likewise, Nyjah had a crazy strict upbringing where he was basically a circus performer that made his dad fucktons of money but had no concept of how to enjoy life. So now he's getting a full 18 years of debauchery that he missed out of the way. Seems to be doing a bang-up job of it too.
-
If you put Tay and Nyjah in the same room, Nyjah would be face down in a pool of his own blood. The hatred is so strong hahah
Nyjah should really learn from pros before him, instead of saying insane shit like girls can't skate or he got dogged at street league. Life doesn't cater to Nyjah Huston even though he thinks it should. I put him in the same boat with Shaun White, social retards that never had a childhood. Everyone telling them they're the greatest, the results can be pretty ugly.

I feel the same way. Yes nyjah can come across as kooky at time but i mean come on, this is a guy that was born and breaded to always be the best and to always win and that's it. He honestly doesn't know any better, its a mental thing so his personality and his drive is unavoidable. He probably takes it as "Im Nyjah, the guy that was forced to quit school at such a young age to only focus on skateboarding 24/7 and have an insane coach of a dad to teach me to never lose and to always improve" to have a guy like that who takes contest seriously by nature lose to a guy that probably wasn't as heavily trained or forced to learn the way he did is probably more than just a normal defeat, it becomes emotionally personal. It reminds me of the 30 for 30 documentary The Marinovich Project, if anyone has a chance take a look at that its seriously the football version of what i think Nyjahs life is like.

$200K PER MONTH.
That's Nyjah's contract for head-to-toe Nike after cashing out of AYC and DC. Seems fair, right?
Nike owns Street League and now they're well-positioned to own the gold/silver/bronze podium at the Olympics. Totally solid return on investment, I guess.

that's just a ridiculous amount of money. but it makes sense when you put it in the context of skating probably being in the Olympics. if he isn't using at least some of that in a philanthropic, charitable way like Dyrdek building parks or helping Skateistan, he should be. fuck.

So Nike is slowly bridging the pay gap between their "athletes" and their "skateboarders" I don't think there's anything wrong with that provided Bobby Worrest gets a nice pay raise this year.
-
as i am really close to one of the retail sellers, he told me they already received news about Nyjah and DC - his spring 2016 sample shoes, ugly as hell, will not be on sale and his older models will remain the same, but will get a new name... and yeah, his contract is about to expire in no time... so yeah, Nike SB it is...

I wonder if 10-20 years from now we'll have some shitty article in whatever magazine is still lucky to be in print about 'skateboarders that cashed out in the 2010's' or whatever. Then at the bottom of each skater there'll be a 'Where Are They Now?' type thing and Nyjah will most likely would have been dead for a few years from choking on his own streetleague trophy.

Nyjah on DC never made sense to me so him going to Nike just seems right at this point. Doubt he'll do it but it'd be rad if he went back to Es like he did with Element.

to me it made sense only because DC was trying to re-legitmize itself. I remember when DC had chaz ortiz greg myers etc on the team. That was a strange time. they failed with using chaz as the child prodigy so bring nyjah in made perfect sense.

That's kind of a bummer if it's true. I've been skating dcs almost exclusively and they have been great. Just got some more Miller's an Kalis' new one. Their shoes are probably some of the best about at the moment. I thought Kalis was saying they'll be fine?

It took me a while, but I just finished reading Thrasher's October Issue and it has in the last pages something about "Biggest Contest Skater moving to Biggest Sport Brand" or something like that.

Tim Gavin was on this weeks shelter show and said Nyjah is getting 18 mil from Nike. Not sure how that is scaled, but that's some fuck you money.

He'll never lose another street league again. Now it all make sense, him loosing this past year was to set up for his comeback on Nike SB.

It took me a while, but I just finished reading Thrasher's October Issue and it has in the last pages something about "Biggest Contest Skater moving to Biggest Sport Brand" or something like that. When I get home I'll take a picture and post that up, or if someone has one copy available, do us the favor.
I wonder when they're going to announce it
I haven't seen what you mentioned but it looks like they're talking about Luan's move to Mountain Dew instead of Nyjah going to Nike SB.
And regarding "De la Calle"'s video, it's surprising Nyjah's not on it. Are we going to see him in Chronicles 3? ;D hahahah.

It'd be kind of cool if P-Rod and Koston went back to Es. I think it would literally change that company around to have to older vets on the team.
i second this.
actually now i think about it nike was kinda cool in the beginning when they were hooking up pros that were kinda under the radar. It gave them a good check and it sorta pushed their skating. Once p-rod got on nike went into a buying frenzy.
-
eS' entire payroll is probably less than what those two make.
-
I remember Koston saying he left Es cause he wanted stake in the company. So give him some ownership as well as P-Rod and let them run with it without giving them a set salary. I bet that could work but that is if Koston wants to run Es. He seems happy just getting checks.
-
Now we get to watch Nike slowly stop marketing P-Rod and giving him so many pro shoes and putting everything into their new cash cow, Nyjah.

Would you take a guaranteed million+ a year from Nike or an ownership stake in a small company competing against them? I know which one I would choose.

Nike sponsors the entire Australian continent don't they? To kill Globe in their last remaining stronghold?
-
USD 25 million although I can't remember how long the contract was supposed to be which is a big thing in American sports deals I suppose- presumably at least until 2020 is out of the way, but if it was for 10 years it would make the 200,000 a month figure accurate. I know its vulgar to talk about money, but its also a gauge of what skateboarding's stock is now worth in mainstream western consumer culture.
-
Ben Raybourn, Wieger, and Justin Brock to that list as well.
would watch this chronicle.
-
Heard from a solid source that the deal is 10 years, 3 million a year. So that makes a $30 million contact overall. He will be signed under Nike head to toe at the end of this month.

Heard from 15 people on this website that the deal is anywhere between $100 for 25 years and $60,000,000,000,000 for an hour and a half, because you can say anything with "I heard" attached and at least four people will believe you.

Not sure what is going on there. They recently opened a Quicksilver / Roxy / DC outlet by my house, in a very weird place, in a random shopping center. Not a place with a ton of clothing retail or even an outlet mall, just a place with a few bigger chains and a few local businesses. Very random to see it pop up out of nowhere basically overnight. Liquidating inventory quickly? Test retail run for a sellout to Payless, Airwalk style?

Sometimes corporations that own several brands will open stores like that to try and burn as much inventory as they can before they shut the brand down. Not saying that's happening here, but it happens.

Do you think other DC riders are embarrassed (maybe not the right word) to be on the same team as him? Like when he "complimented" Luan for winning with that backhanded compliment, I wonder if some of other guys just shook their heads in a wow moment.

DC is most likely not folding because they lost Nyjah, nor because their parent company filed for bankruptcy.
Most likely they'll just have a corporate bean counting suit looking over their shoulders making sure they are trimming the fat and don't have any necessary expenses for a while, which also might mean your favorite overpaid pro(s). I'm sure some at DC/Quicksilver will see it as getting rid of Nyjah may have been a blessing in disguise at this time. I don't know about you, but I do not see a ton of kids in Nyjah shoes.
I'm curious to see if Nike SB will sneak Nyjah into Chronicles 3.

I can't help but think Theotis makes probably atleast 30k between Nike and Mountain Dew. Regardless, you haven't made it till you buy a Maybach with a driver anyways.

theotis's 100 video, the dude is in some shitty house eating off paper plates with a rental in the driveway. If he's such a nice guy from an underprivileged neighbourhood why isn't he giving back to the community? Why would you want to drive a super expensive car just because it's super expensive? Just to get airhead dollies in bed? I feel sorry for him.
I feel sorry for Nyjah too, his father pressuring him to skate harder, stealing his money and bailing on him, followed by an identity crisis all while being a little kid. Then becoming one of the best skaters right now and everybody hates you. No wonder he has so many parties, he must feel so dead inside.

Yup...people aren't realizing that Theotis isn't owning that car. If any, he's leasing it and honestly that is equally as dumb cause the car would never really be his and he's paying high rent so to speak to just floss out. I would have just bought a cheaper luxury car and pay it all off at once.

Im sure Theotis gives back a tons. I see him help a lot of people out and his homies are being helped out by him. And what's wrong with wanting to have nice things? I'm sure he can afford the car and I'm sure the house is mortgaged. He has several high paying sponsors. Anyways what's wrong with wanting nice things

Is this three years in a row now that he drops a part for thrasher towards the end of the year?
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Who cares? Everyone (Nyjah included) know he's not getting SOTY, he's just dumping footy and I'd rather watch his part on Thrasher than the berrics or ridechannel
How soon we forget Shane Goes. :'(
and the ripper at clipper :-\
Bust Or Bail 2: The Ripper At Clipper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHoGc3lrLU0#)
and he has a part dropping in November but since it seems he's doing something out of Primative it probably will go to the berrics.

Just another "I heard" but a friend of mine who hangs with some nike heads was telling me that he is getting on Nike the brand, not Nike SB, if that makes sense. Sort of the way Paul Rodriguez is on, so scuba and the other skaters don't really have to interact with him.
Yeah I heard that too, my uncles friend heard it from his mother in law who plays bingo with a ladies son who did some plumbing work at a nike outlet store.
I heard it from an online message board...
I heard it through the grapevine, by the end of the month he
goes nowhere else then skating the private training facility,
He didn't get invited to South America, that's for sure

Who is getting cut from Nike to pay nyjah? Any ideas? ?

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm looking forward to this new part. I just re-watched fade to black uncut and the guy can take a slam, he's amazingly talented. His last king of the road stuff was gnarly as well. I won't buy his shoe but I'll watch him destroy rails quite happily.

Koston and Paul back on eS.

Who is getting cut from Nike to pay nyjah? Any ideas? ?
Who knows but when you see that they sponsor/flow an insane amount of people it was bound to happen eventually.
-
I get a feeling there is more happening than Nyjah going to Nike. A new "a-team" brand with Shane, Nyjah and Guy is what I think will happen. Somehow under Nike.
-
Nike doesn't have to lose someone to pay someone. They pay several other athletes millions a year, it's the anticipated return on their investment they are concerned about. Nyjah will bring them a decent return on their investment.

Oh my god where will the single most recognizable brand on the planet find the money for Nyjah? I hope they don't go out of business.

Its not for popularity just equipment, when they had a regular demo it didn't make sense to delve into skating being with them, but accessorizing and opening up makes it more of a reason to have a quality team with less filler riders and more exposed experienced riders
-
surely coca-cola is number 1?
According to studies of whatever they study for that, Nike is #1 and Coca-Cola is #2. It's due to Coca-Cola using a written language that requires translation whereas Nike is a symbol. It's probably a difference of one or two recognition units*. Marlboro and Budweiser are #3 and #4. That was a study from 2008 though so it very well may have changed. Apple has got to be in there based on China's population alone.

Did his team mate Bam choose the music? Sick that he skated to CKY thou. :D

shit was pretty gnarly but it feels forced.
im calling it now nyjahs addicted to pain killers,.
sad that he puts out this part that was a bunch of hammers and it doesnt exactly... do it for me i guess, if that makes sense.
itll be interesting to see if he stacks footage like this for nike
-
He actually touched the other side of the wall im gonna like
-
Better than his Fade to Black part. Less "Epic" more lines, less rail chomping, better music, his style is slowly (very slowly) maturing. Long bs 5-0, and nollie inward heel that gap stood out
-
That was definitely better than even the best Gino push....give this guy some fucking recognition already.

Honestly was crazy skating yet lacking something. Could of done with "one more try" on that 5.0/skid.

He doesn't need the Nike paycheck after winning so many SLs. What's he gonna do next? Put his face on the moon? Obviously there's nothing wrong with getting paid to do what you love and are good at but at a certain point what are you sacrificing to get it? He's gonna fall so hard soon, have no fans besides moms and little kids.

Kinda does though. The most valuable brands are often the biggest (Apple, Microsoft, Google), have big marketing budgets/outlets and therefore have the most coverage in TV, printed ads like magazines and billboards and web ads which makes them even more recognizable after a relatively small time of exposure. In a broad estimate a 5 minute Apple commercial will get seen by how many thousands to millions of people all over the world?

The number of times "Nike" has been mentioned in this thread are worth his new contract alone.
Maybe the official announcement comes during Tampa Am???
Nike doesn't need to cut anyone to sign Nyjah, but chances are some corporate suit bean counter will eventually make them if things don't pan out in the profit column.
It's crazy to think how Nike SB's focus could be going from Grant, Corey, and Ishod and to Nyjah, Shane and Mariano.

surely coca-cola is number 1?
According to studies of whatever they study for that, Nike is #1 and Coca-Cola is #2. It's due to Coca-Cola using a written language that requires translation whereas Nike is a symbol. It's probably a difference of one or two recognition units*. Marlboro and Budweiser are #3 and #4. That was a study from 2008 though so it very well may have changed. Apple has got to be in there based on China's population alone.
* there is no such thing as a recognition unit
http://www.forbes.com/powerful-brands/list/ (http://www.forbes.com/powerful-brands/list/)
#1 Apple
#2 Microsoft
#3 Google
#4 Coca-Cola
#5 IBM
#6 McDonald's
#7 Samsung
#8 Toyota
#9 General Electric
#10 Facebook
For the record Nike is #18
brand value does not equate to brand recognition
Kinda does though. The most valuable brands are often the biggest (Apple, Microsoft, Google), have big marketing budgets/outlets and therefore have the most coverage in TV, printed ads like magazines and billboards and web ads which makes them even more recognizable after a relatively small time of exposure. In a broad estimate a 5 minute Apple commercial will get seen by how many thousands to millions of people all over the world?
The Nike logo is almost as ubiquitous as the caution, "no ___", and biohazard symbols. Apple is known because of it's enormous presence in China with manufacturing and stuff, but facebook is prohibited in China aside from the privileged, as of 2013 Google's search share is down to 1.7% compared to almost 40% in 2009 and didn't exist in the country at all until 2005, and Microsoft had to buy their way into the country by partnering with official government software companies. Nike doesn't have to do any of that in China. China fucking loves Nike and Adidas. That's where they make them.
As for India... just google it. Most of them don't even have electricity. They do have a bunch of old ass Nikes though.
As of 2011 36% of the entire world's population lives in those two countries and most of them don't use any form of internet, never mind the one we're using right now.
So yeah you guys can identify Mickey Mouse, and the little facebook f, and all of that but "most people" aren't you. "Most people" are a 28 year old male living in rural China.

kid is good super good. Man it must be nice being him right now.
Is it really though? Not denying he's good but he's got more skaters hating on him than when Ryan did Life of Ryan. He quit an iconic shoe company for really no other reason than money (that we've seen) so it really seems like he's chasing the money trail wherever that leads him no matter what he has to do. He doesn't need the Nike paycheck after winning so many SLs. What's he gonna do next? Put his face on the moon? Obviously there's nothing wrong with getting paid to do what you love and are good at but at a certain point what are you sacrificing to get it? He's gonna fall so hard soon, have no fans besides moms and little kids.

AVE FOR SOTY.
Why do they keep editing these Nyjah parts to metal? Just edit them to whatever podcast he Likes and call it a day
wasn't metal. not even a little.
the way i see it now is fuck it if he's getting hated on. People hate on shit for the sake of hating on it. People hated on nyjah when he was a kid on es. They hated on him when he had NO SPONSORS and they hate on him now for having really good sponsors and leaving for something better for him. I glanced at his instagram and he looks to be having a lot of fun in life. and like someone said in another post if someone had at least half of the money nyjah gets they would've slowed down or stop putting shit out wink wink "appleyard" I think he does some lame shit at times but fuck y'all are really fishing for ways to hate on him. He's honestly putting up so much gnarly content you can't say the man aint working hard. The dumbest thing i ever heard is to turn down good opportunities and money. Are you gonna turn down a raise or promotion at your job? I don't think so. Its not like he's quitting element or something its fucking DC they're just as corpo as all those other brands besides i didn't see so called "skate brands" hooking him up when he was in the dumps so good riddance.

despite the hate Nike catches, not a single one of their riders isn't a well loved, celebrated skateboarder. Their team is awesome. Who doesn't like the guys on their team? even as corporate as P-Rod has become i still like the guy.
Nyjah is an incredible skateboarder but given the care Nike has taken towards building a respected team, it seems like a downgrade for the brand to sponsor nyjah. he's a great skateboarder but nobody really respects him and he certainly isnt a celebrated person in the skateboarding culture.
Lance, Luan and BA are Nike. Nyjah is Globe shoes with Decenzo

Are you fucking kidding me? Sheckler is the only skater that hasn't sold out and stuck with etnies his entire life, if you're a skater and you rep nike you're a complete kook. luan, shane, prod, bufoni are all fuckwits, probably be dead without skateboarding
Explain where this loveability comes from? Most boring group of skaters I've ever seen, having a beer with luan or p rod... id rather have a drink with my 45 year old aussie neighbor, she's fucking hilarious! Shane/ Luan/ Prod are EASILY the most boring interviews ever, rather see paint dry.
Something ($) sucked the life out of pro skateboarding, Mark Gonzales was cooler than the entire Nike team and def. more fun to hang out with.

I don't think Nyjah is the most marketable person in skateboarding. Maybe he is one of the most spectacular for the mainstream audience, but why don't they get Burnquist?
I think Luan, Reynolds or even Curren Caples could be more marketable to the general audience than Nyjah.
They are talented, humble, clean, respected by skaters and produce some spectacular manÅuvres.
As far as what Fongstarr said, I'd love to see that, but I don't think a lot of companies can compete with Nike salary/benefit wise.
I my opinion, while Nike continue to produce quality footwear, people will continue buying their products.
The price doesn't even matter, as a great proportion of people who buy footwear buy it on sale. Nike being overdistributed, you can be sure to find the model you want at half the price 6 months after its release.

I am more or less talking about their strategies in the beginning to now. I am sure it had to do with the team manager at the time but people like Supa and Shimizu were more respected in the industry rather than being cash cows. But like Ronald Reagan said or whatever his name is, it was a lure to get people to like them and I guess we are seeing them become the Nike we should have known.

i dont know if it was so much an attempt to "lure" people in as- the skate industry market changed and they reacted. for the record I am completely talking out of my ass right now... however when nike came into skateboarding the big dogs were the well respected elder companies. it was "video skaters" > "contest skaters" by a long shot. money was made overtime and longevity was what works. now the money seems to be in fads, hype beasts. the big name skaters are glory hunters and kids want to be the star not the recluse. if the trajectory didn't change as rapidly over the past 5-6 years we would still see nike pushing more gino, bobby, and AO and slightly less PROD, Luan, and Trevor colden.
at the same time i stopped wearing nike a few years ago because of all the shit i heard they were pulling at skate shops with the fufilment contracts and after they promised not to move their shoes out of skate shops turned-- around and went big box stores.... so i guess that does match up with the whole "lure" issue.
that being said their team does kick ass. I mean Weiger, Brock, CK, Ishod, Gino, Lance Mountian, Carpenter, GT, Fitzgerald plus the guys i named above PLUS guys who i will probably slap myself for forgetting... fucking hell that roster is solid.

I've heard some pretty bad things about Nike and their dealings with local shops. Mostly that they force shoes that don't sell out to shops so the shops end up losing money cause they have to discount the shoes that aren't selling.
-
The shop here that carries Nike has a perpetual buy one get one 1/2 off sale on Nike because they have so many pairs of atrocious shoes no skaters buy. The other shop won't carry Nike because of the BS they require. Nike has a solid roster, but it comes off as trashy because of their business practices and a lot of terrible stuff they do. Strike and Destroy?! Gimme a break.

I've wondered the same thing lately. I started distancing myself from Nike after talking to a shop owner in a city where I used to live, but now it seems like mall shops carry the entire line whereas core shops can be a little more selective.

Nyjah is rullep�lse.
oh god is that shit gooooood. eating some right now. and when you put soma dat mustard on it. hnnnnng.
Okay yeah Nyjah is a massive douche and Nike is ruining skateboarding, that's all been well established. No one gives a fuck. Much more important, we haven't gotten to the bottom of this rulleplse business. Looks delicious! Is it pork?!
yea its a rolled pork belly, looks cured too. basically bacon with herbs

I wish Nyjah could just enjoy his fame, money and drugs in ways that make me jealous, but not think he's a stupid asshole. Loudspeakers in a hotel... fuck.

Yeah all the skateboarders I like are notorious for being mild mannered guests in hotel rooms.

Jereme Rogers caused like $5,000 worth of damage that time at his hotel in NY...

Hopefully the Nyjah story will be interesting for awhile, like Hosoi or Gator. That speaker in a hotel room is crazy. I get stoked when my hotel room has an iPod dock.

I was just trying to camouflage hate as personal taste, that's all. But hey, maybe I got a few people stoked on rullepølse.
Here's a how-to video. In Danish though, but shouldn't be hard to follow along.

Hmm, to me most traditional Danish food is boring and bland, that's why I chose to call Nyjah rullepølse. But smørrebrød is a thing I would recommend. Lots of info here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d.)
I am partial to leverpostej and herring myself.
According to this wiki article rullepølse is called a spiced meat roll in English.
Rasmus, sky is called aspic in English. Horrible brown blubber.

The giant Nike sb logo in his park is the announcement.

At this point, it's akin to becoming "facebook official" with that girl you been fuckin for like a month or so.
Sure, your buddies know damn well you been ditchin them to netflix and chill w her. They also saw taht you paid for her chipotle last week cuz she forgot her purse.
But not until it's "facebook official" will your parents call you and ask about your new girlfriend.
Basically what I'm saying is my parents don't know that nyjah is leaving DC for Nike.

Sorry to be interested in how Nike will announce it, what story they will tell, what angle they'll chose, what role Nyjah will have, what the Air Nyjah One will look like, what the community & industry reaction after the official announcement will be, the part, etc.
I don't ask for an official announcement just to have "Nyjah on Nike SB" written black on white on my screen. If this is all what an announcement means to you then yeah, my question can be seen as fucking weird, and stupid, and dumb. And so you are.

you'll have to wait for the "made for TV After School Special" - it should be on around 3-4pm. They choose that time slot because they know the short bus will have dropped you off at home by then, and you'll be snacking on milk and cookies.

Nyjah and tiger woods will crash an suv and it will be caught on someones cell phone. The screen then fades to black as tiger shouts "oh my fucking god"!
The screen fades back in to a visual of nyjah huston cab backlipping a 16 stair rail while bruno mars plays in the backround.
"Welcome to nike"!

Either a video or shoe will be involved with him. Nike might continue with the "new year new team" theme and welcome him on New Years eve/day. If that doesn't happen, we can expect one of the first two
