Just hoping he ends up somewhere great. He deserves it. I know blind took pretty good care of him, so I am going to assume it was a great opportunity.
Hopefully he's doing alright with chemo and everything.
He’ll find a comfortable home as the 3rd roommate (along with Ryan& Kelly) on Visit. Sadly, he’ll take a pay cut, but not much of one, considering he was on Blind.

Still listed in Blind's IG bio and he tagged them 2 days ago in his most recent post. That being said Blind is boring.
Why does Blind still put out the same crappy graphics over and over? If they actually put out some real 90’s style graphics, (like Marc McKee style), and maybe got rid of that guy with the toothpick, they might actually be cool again.

I could see dgk putting him on....also somehow could see santa cruz doing it too. They seem to be going in that direction of skaters
Looks obvious its Primitive with the amount of footage he's posting at their park.
hope that dude makes it on Primitive and is able to start cashing some decent checks. he's definitely put in the time and effort to deserve it. also, he's just a nice dude and he frickin rips.
I like TJ but there’s already 3 or 4 people similar to him on Primitive
TJ is legitimately areally really really really really really really really really really reallynice person. He goes back to his OG shop sponsor in bumfuck nowhere onterrible and sells boards, genuinely down to earth guy. Objectively so good. Never got the hate. Hopefully primitive with wade desarmeux.

Now, now...if we're talking about Switch sure they aint the snooty skate verison of "Onterrible" (yeah we're a Province so capitalize that ish) you'll find near Trinity Bellwoods but they're good people and work hard for the scene around that bumfuck area.

maybe he will get on tj and nickels new company??TJ Skateboards
Premium Skateboards obviously. Their new TM Dan Pageau got him on. Source: Max DufourPremium skateboards, Pageau and Dufour are all so hot right now! You think Dufour still has those double flips on vert? Also TJ rules and I hope he finds a great home.
On Monarch
Somehow i wouldnt be surprised if he ends on darkstar or almost. primitive would be dope, but their team is already stacked
Could see him on Thank You with Torey

blind to braille, it makes the most sense thematicallyOf Blind on Vision
TJ and Matt Berger joining forces? Also bringing along Ryan Decenzo and Micky Papa to a all-Canadian super team?
God I hope not.

Apologies. In a bad frame of mind due to family ish...and went a wee bit out of character to support a good shop whom I thought you were slagging. Never text after a day spent in the hospital kids! That's my take away. And yes TJ is a super nice dude...but his Dad scares me.

Surprised to see TJ hate on here. As someone said, his stock has risen like crazy in the last year.
Dude's been absolutely crushing it, survived cancer, let out an amazing part, had a 9 club where he came off dope and told the story of his crazy childhood. 5 years ago I could care less about this dude, but he's made me fan in the last few years.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him on Monarch (I hear rumors of some other dudes heading over there). I HOPE it's primitive or April, something more legitimate.
Damn, bummer.
Why even make a post about him being back on Blind? Just act like it never happened and move on. Does anyone else think it’s kind of embarrassing?
It sounds like TJ wasn’t being taken care of and decided to leave and have no sponsor and Blind had to scramble and come up with the cash.
Wish to have seen him on anywhere else. Fits Monarch. Primitive is due for a sister company. Would have been cool to see him be one of the first guys on something like that. He honestly fits DGK really well. Somehow better graphics than Blind.

Not watching a 9C video, but based on what you’re saying, sounds like he left blind for more money… then blind came back with more money. Idk how that’s suppose to be embarrassing.

because it reads like he left blind, expected to get offers, didn’t and had to run back to the only people who would take him

No, I think he did have a chance to ride for someone else because Blind wasn’t taking care of him, and then Blind scrambled to pay and keep him on. I think it’s embarrassing for Blind.
I don’t take TJ for a guy that would jump ship without having anything else to fall back on. We all know he’s super underrated, and that’s because he is on Blind.
Look at Diego Najera. Blew up when he got on Primitive, went to April, quit because he was being disrespected, and now on Monarch. Everyone knows he’s amazing, but no one is talking about him like they were when he was on the “cool” hyped up brands.
Everyone says he’s the nicest dude. I’ve only ever heard praise for him and his talent. Why wouldn’t he have other teams interested?
Skating has become super cliquey now so it’s no surprise you go for the money . He should be on Disorder if anything.

Dwindle quickly realized the team of Micky Papa, Nassim Lachlab, Sora Shirai and Jake Ilardi wasn't cutting it and decided to pay T.J what he's worth.
