I’ve been to both spots. The subway gap is obviously higher risk, but I think its physically harder to ollie the bench.
Dumb question, but if the rail closest to the landing is the deadly one, why not go over it the other way? If it’s to purposefully make the trick and photo gnarlier, then shit, hats off.I believe in the Tengu one, it was done towards the 3rd rail because the run-up was better. Might be the same in this case.

I don't even know what to say. Seeing this makes me feel like I'm 12 years old again. Genuinely awe struck.
Damn this is fucked. So far we have an ollie, fs 180 and a kickflip over a subway gap. And hopefully the footage isn’t super zoomed in that you can’t appreciate how big this is.
We are not worthy
Crazy that you can't even see the 4+ feet of yellow knobbies he has to clear.. Different fit from the subway run-up that Supreme posted a month back. Maybe he has some other heat for us ??

So how does it work with those bumps? Do you actually pop before them and then land on them when you clear jt? Do they lay something over the bumps so you can ride over and pop off? Can't imagine what that would be unless insane pours or bondo.

The crown? Loads better than a huge grip graphic. Still, hard to find fault with anything except wishing the Thrasher was just an outline or was a different color that didn’t pull so much focus
any photographers here have any insight on how stressful it had to have been to set up camera equipment for this? flashes?
I can’t stop looking at this fucking photo. Unreal.

I think he could be shooting with 3 flashes. One from the left, one from the right and one on camera perhaps. There seem to be light spilling on both side above the platform area. I think Atiba should have had all the light on just Tyshawn and kept the rest sort of dark. My opinion anyways.
so is that the same station as in the Mandible Claw vid ? is this going to become a spot? where people come to try and get NBDS?? shit looks terrifying, especially in video.
I honestly don't know what I would choose between this and the china banks ollie for trick of the year....really really curious to see the video footage of this. holy shit man. also wonder if people will try to do the same in other cities now.....

I don't get how anyone can hate on this guy, this is so, so fucked up.
Is there a reason TJ went with the toe-side kickflip over the heel-side kickflip? Does the layout not allow the latter, or was it just his preference? Toe-side is, of course, harder, but heel-side is more aesthetically pleasing. Maybe he's got a bs flip in the works.I think if you're at the level of jumping from station platform to station platform approaching heel or toe side doesn't really matter anymore
I like the idea of this trick a lot more than the photo. I wonder if there was a way to get the blind bumps in the shot.
Trick of the year, I think Tfunk still has it.

So much of the criticism directed towards him over the years is thinly (sometimes not so thinly) veiled racism.
Newbie who'll probably get a kooked for this. First off, the trick is INSANE! But does anyone find the angle of his body and board is a little off? It's a tad diagonal and I think it would be even better if he was fully centered. If that makes sense. I understand he probably came from an angle. Again, the trick is incredible.

“All he does is pop” has gotta be one of the most hilarious complaints about a once in a generation talent.
“All Gretzky does is score!”
“All Jordan does is dunk!”
“All Usain Bolt does is run fast!”
I like it all bright. It’s different than how Allen Ying shot that ollie photo. This one pops better to my eye.That's true. They are just different photos from different times. Allen's I think was shot on film hence the slight motion blur. Atiba seems to have shot it with a little wider lens which helps too but the flash now that I can compare the photos definitely adds to the photo. Imagine though if there was a light from the end of the tunnel from a train about to come in. Boy that would be something.
i'll give ying's photo the edge because of how well he centered koki in the middle of the tracks. i know that's not possible with a photo of a kickflip that tyshawn definitely caught well past the center of the tracks and it doesn't take away from either feat or photo... just personal preferenceThat's true.

@fongstarr. I think Allen’s photo is natural light. I don’t see any flashes in there. Some light coming down the tunnel would look awesome.
@ignatius I’m guessing atiba made a conscious choice for a different angle than Allen’s photo.
I’m hoping Allen isn’t bummed. I’ve seen his photo come up a few times now. Kind of gives it another round of life.
Edit to add: I think Allen’s angle is the one- all symmetrical. But that wouldn’t work as a cover. I’m guessing they had cover shot in mind and thus shot it vertical.

If you have ever listened to call-in sports radio, there is an endlessly stream of fat suburban white dudes ringing up Mike Francesca to make virtually identical complaints about black baseball, basketball and football players, based on the same flimsy reasoning I’m reading here.
“Jake Johnson is a lunchpail, 9-5 skater! Tyshawn needs to take off that durag, pull up his pants and put some more footy on Insta!”
For those that are asking if the yellow bumps would take you out-- its scary enough to stand in that strip let alone ollie or kick flip from anywhere near there. Most of you wouldn't have the guts to even put a board down and skate inside any subway station let alone near the tracks. Haven't y'all seen the ending of Beat Street? It is hectic in the NY subways. Also agreed with comments above re: hating for pop tricks? What is a non-pop trick? No comply variations on tic Tok?

Youngblood is from Harlem. There’s something that comes from that environment. You have to carry yourself differently if you’ve never seen a cul-de-sac

He runs his business more like a get money hip hop act than a skateboarder and maybe that intimidates people. He is unapologetic like Nas when Illmatic came out and he knew no one could fuck with him. If I was his age and saw him in the city I would know to leave him be.
BTW—I can only name a handful of skaters in Manhattan in the 90s who were approachable. Now it seems people expect pro skaters to be nice. If you’re not on their level they don’t want to fuck with you. Tyshawn just seems more honest about it.
Curious how are any of the criticisms of tyshawn racist? Is the implication around his level of pop having something to do with the racist stereotype of black men being able to jump high? Or is the thought people are holding him to a different standard because he’s black?After you commented this someone mentioned in another thread that he isn’t classy because he wears a durag. Not a single black person would ever say that. That’s clearly racially motivated hating.

I am actually generally surprised there is no graffiti or even a sticker anywhere in sight. I don't frequent New York that often but I always think it looks like how it was back in the days when the graffiti culture was big. But I think that is what is really cool about this photo. It just screams New York like some Martha Cooper photo from Subway Art book. You literally can't duplicate this anywhere else but there.

i think it's just necessity: atiba couldn't shoot a symmetrical photo for tyshawn's kickflip because a kickflip would inevitably peak well past the center of the frame. not knocking either of them for thatExpand QuoteExpand Quotei'll give ying's photo the edge because of how well he centered koki in the middle of the tracks. i know that's not possible with a photo of a kickflip that tyshawn definitely caught well past the center of the tracks and it doesn't take away from either feat or photo... just personal preferenceExpand QuoteThat's true. They are just different photos from different times. Allen's I think was shot on film hence the slight motion blur. Atiba seems to have shot it with a little wider lens which helps too but the flash now that I can compare the photos definitely adds to the photo. Imagine though if there was a light from the end of the tunnel from a train about to come in. Boy that would be something.Expand QuoteI like it all bright. It’s different than how Allen Ying shot that ollie photo. This one pops better to my eye.[close]

side note: i bet allen ying is the only person bummed on this[close]
@Fongstarr. I think Allen’s photo is natural light. I don’t see any flashes in there. Some light coming down the tunnel would look awesome.
@Ignatius I’m guessing atiba made a conscious choice for a different angle than Allen’s photo.
I’m hoping Allen isn’t bummed. I’ve seen his photo come up a few times now. Kind of gives it another round of life.
Edit to add: I think Allen’s angle is the one- all symmetrical. But that wouldn’t work as a cover. I’m guessing they had cover shot in mind and thus shot it vertical.[close]
i mentioned allen being bummed because i seem to remember him getting really defensive in the comments of the quartersnacks post about MNMFTB? some sort of territorialism might have been at play

He's a top of his game athlete, SoTY, influencer, super model, face of supreme, King of New York etc. and he hosted a free event where the general public could literally reach out and touch him while he switch flipped over picnic tables.

Tyshawn is a class act and the rawness in his style and approach is his greatest attribute. Its what keeps someone of his skill level apart from the hoard of post-Prod robo juggernauts. When Miles Silvas does a nollie heel it looks the same every time, you know what it's going to look like. Not so with Tyshawn. He's the most exciting skater in the world right now.

I would like to see more raw footage of him, because I agree. He reminds me of Kareem in that way or dare I say Evan Smith in the "tearing things up in an unfiltered way".
He's gotta be hauling ass in clips too, which I don't think is mentioned that often.

My only criticism is the sponsors.Thinks he's riding his own boards not fa so it's prob ny based. Thunders and ventures are from the same place. Are checkpoints nikes? They're from the west maybe sauconys, cons or NB to be from the east.
I feel like he's being misrepresented as one of the jerks because I've heard he's a sweetheart
In a perfect world he would be on like some true east shit.
I'm not hating nor am I trying to exclude westerners.
I'm just thinking about what I'd like better as an art statement.
Ventures
Orchard
New York based board bland
Hardies

Atiba said this is his favorite photo he’s ever taken. That’s cool, but why? This photo is similar to the tengu ollie photo, so what makes this so special to Atiba? It could be the insane risk factor, for sure. But when I look at this photo, it is as if TJ isn’t even the primary subject. The bend in the tracks in the distance is. What’s coming around that corner? TJ’s next video part, that’s what. This is foreshadowing some shit we are not ready for. I think this is atiba’s favorite photo because of the story it is telling, but it isn’t been told yet.
(Fixed typo - Ativan to Atiba. I blame Apple)

Yellow parts are definitely not skateable.
Looking at this photo, he lands on the right side? Doesn’t seem like a huge amount of landing room and at that speed with slipper floors the danger gets even higher. Also, what makes this subway platform a “spot” compared to the other hundreds of them in the city? More runway or something?
Truly an all time trick, spot and photo. I wonder how many tries it took.
Aren't NYC subways notoriously off-schedule? I hope they didn't put their trust in the hands of the NYC subway schedule. I'm hoping they had some people at nearby stations calling/radio-ing to them when the coast was clear.

The digital displays with ETAs in the stations are accurate. And also you can definitely see and hear them coming (they have lights that you can see reflecting off the walls) well in advance
Still dangerous, but its definitely not a total diceroll.
Sincerely disappointed that no New York slappers nor someone like Jenkem has gone there with a homie and a tape measure to determine the actual distance of the gap.the D line uses R68s, which are listed as ten feet wide on wikipedia. factor in a little distance between the train and the platform (~18 inches) and the gap itself is probably somewhere between eleven and twelve feet, not including the blind bumps (impossible to tell if tyshawn popped over those or used a sign; if he did go past them, it's closer to fourteen feet).

with all that being said, the biggest hurdle isn't the gap; it's the runup. the station has three tracks straddling two platforms, and tyshawn jumped the middle track. judging by the picture below, there's no way someone could just throw down and go straight at the platform (even going from right to left, as tyshawn did), so tyshawn almost certainly had to jump the gap at an angle.

When you big flipped the street gap was this before or after you were diagnosed with incurable folliculitis?
Someone just posted him bs noseblunting the top of those famous long SF benches. But he’s gotta get SOTY the year the part drops. It’s not the 90s anymore where people get it w/o bc videos might not come out that year…
That said Ville should be in the convo this year
If he’s tearing up SF, I def think ollieing a pier 7 block the long way is within his abilities. People say there’s not enough runway, but I think that’s just from the lower/pier side. Street side seems to have plentyHe's also gonna Ollie up wallenburg
What an insane cover, I have so many questions and hope there is a documentary/Thrasher My War/etc of the trick.

The amount of people who'd go thru that job and fuck it up because they don't know how to measure shit was unbelievable. Notable being some woman who claimed she couldn't do it because she only knows inches not metric (why does it matter just do the fucking number) had to figure out all the shit for her in inches and shed still fuck it up. Other was some guy that made like twenty tarps but not a single one was square all were weird trapezoids. Turned out when measuring he didn't realise one side of the tape was metric and the other imperial. These were all adults.

been in construction for almost 20yrs, couldn't tell you how many people who work site cant read tape measures correctly...its either their eyes, noting whether its 3/8" or 5/8" (yes in america we use imperial) or they didn't measure the line straight.

Notable being some woman who claimed she couldn't do it because she only knows inches not metric (why does it matter just do the fucking number) had to figure out all the shit for her in inches and shed still fuck it up. Other was some guy that made like twenty tarps but not a single one was square all were weird trapezoids. Turned out when measuring he didn't realise one side of the tape was metric and the other imperial. These were all adults. Anyway end of dum memory.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteSincerely disappointed that no New York slappers nor someone like Jenkem has gone there with a homie and a tape measure to determine the actual distance of the gap.[close]

Using a laser tape to measure spots is the new skating with air pods[close]
been in construction for almost 20yrs, couldn't tell you how many people who work site cant read tape measures correctly...its either their eyes, noting whether its 3/8" or 5/8" (yes in america we use imperial) or they didn't measure the line straight. It at the point where all frames and studs come on are site pre-cut. Never had issues with the lasers other than forgetting to change batteries[close]

Also- if you look at Atiba's caption on instagram he mentions that he was told that the track was not active and it turns out that it actually was active. He then says he had to jump on the third rail to get out because he heard the subway car coming.. WTF.[close]
I thought the "third rail" was the one that has the power going through it... so how did he not get electrocuted? or did it just luckily not happen to be powered at that moment?[close]
If that story is true, maybe rubber shoe soles not being conductive?

The third rail usually has a cover on top that you can step on without getting electrocuted. Still sketchy nonetheless.

Just to add to this sentiment there are videos out there of people touching the electrified rail while walking down there and their body crumples to the ground as they get shocked / die and fall on top of the rail. Sometimes their body starts burning if someone can’t pull them off fast enough. Hopefully nobody tests out the rubber soles theory .

I think it has something to do with touching the ground and the rail? I don't know much about electrical shit.
I've met people who I've seen on video step up on the rail and catch tags. They had big ass high heel boots on.
If anyone would like to explain that'd be cool.
I wish I had a skeme phone book. If I ever meet that dude you know I'm bringing one for him to hit up.
Imagine a skeme phone book shadow box thing made out of an old phone booth or something!
Re-create some classic cars. Maybe do like a model of New Lots of something.
Ask skeme which yard he was getting over in and just get all tech with it. Put the book in the center

Insane. 15 feet kickflip. So it's really not super far from the longest flatground ollie ever (16' 6")[close]
Wow, when you put it that way... and you add on the fact that there isn't much run up, and he had to mentally deal with a sort of vague takeoff spot.
Anyone recall what Jeremy Wray's watertower ollie was?[close]

I have a hard time believing the longest ollie ever was a mere 6 inches longer than Jeremy’s ollie. Does anyone have a link for that record?
And not for nothing but Jeremy’s ollie is waaayyyy more fucked up than Tyshawn’s kickflip. I’d argue the gnarliest thing ever done. No random dudes are gonna go to that spot and 180 it and throw it in some homie video. Tyshawn is easily one of the greatest ever but it just puts into perspective how fucked Jeremy was for his time.

I think it's just that nobody really bothers to get the worlds longest ollie record. Tyshawn could do it switch
i dont follow sports much but Wade was talking on the 9 club about how hockey players only play like 15-20 minutes of ice time per game max as a top player, and its done in shifts, and i think they play 2-3 games a week max.

I think that’s because Hockey is very fast paced and one of the most physical sports.
Similar to skateboarders they don’t get paid very well compared to other major sports.

yeah but skating is even crazier....
anyway i find it crazy that seemingly a lot of the least paid guys seem to take the gnarliest slams. like Ben Gilley.
or Stacy Lowry. dude ruptured his urethra trying to get a back salad for a 411 part!! :(
he's no prime physical specimen like phil kessel that's for sureKeith Tka-Schmuck

Expand QuoteLol yeah unfortunately whenever someone says oh so and so could be an Olympic athlete it's usually total horseshit.Expand QuoteJust put a 15' tape on my floor and it's ridiculous. Tyshawn could easily break the longest ollie record.
Then I looked up the long jump world record and it's almost twice that. What the hell

its actaully not. its just skateboarding, typically people spend most of their time doing more than training going farther and faster on a gap. there is so much more to it than that, there would have to be stupid amounts of money on the line for countries to start training for this specific thing, and i think we have learned from other olympic sports like long jump, high jump etc. they have kinda hit their plateaus there is not mcuh they can do to make it more interesting so i think that is why skateboarding as a judged sport was suggested in this format to appease the peasants.
tl;dr if tyshawk just spent all his time training to do nothing but long distance ollies in a safe environment and neglected all other aspects of skateboarding, im sure he could hit some ridiculous distances too

He's also gonna Ollie up wallenburgExpand QuoteIf he’s tearing up SF, I def think ollieing a pier 7 block the long way is within his abilities. People say there’s not enough runway, but I think that’s just from the lower/pier side. Street side seems to have plenty[close]

could see him ollieing up the leap of faith
what’s crazy to me is we’re almost 3/4 through october & the heaviest parts haven’t even dropped yet. i know people will say “what about ___” i know tfunk killed it early as well as quite a few others who have dropped good shit this year. what i mean is the 4 top contenders in everyone’s mind who keep being brought up (tyshawn, louie, kader, ishod) haven’t dropped ‘that part’ yet. i know ishod had a long part that was great, louie put out a couple of good ones.. but it feels like they were both holding back for a late drop of their best work. ever since this new strategy of dropping the wildest stuff as late as possible has started, it seems like everyone tries to get in literally last minute. the first of suciu’s 4 parts dropped in mid november. it has to be very chaotic to be whoever runs thrasher’s web media as well as who discusses/schedules when what drops around this time of year. we’re due for an absolutely insane next couple of months.

Did it back in April supposedly?
Looks like the same day as the 360 flip over the rail into the bank at china banks. Wild.

Expand QuoteWe really gotta start normalizing dropping the part before the cover/photo. Imagine seeing this in video out of nowhere…[close]
This is such a bad idea. Getting mashed over the face with the image out of nowhere a month prior is so sick.
It’s a joke when anyone hates on this man. Absolute GOAT and has been. Courthouse Kid. So stoked for new part.
Expand Quotei wouldn’t doubt he went over both. in the ollie clip those bumps aren’t there, just the yellow paint underneath. you can’t tell if they’re using a sign or not in tyshawn’s photo though.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteWe are not worthy
Crazy that you can't even see the 4+ feet of yellow knobbies he has to clear.. Different fit from the subway run-up that Supreme posted a month back. Maybe he has some other heat for us ??[close]
So how does it work with those bumps? Do you actually pop before them and then land on them when you clear jt? Do they lay something over the bumps so you can ride over and pop off? Can't imagine what that would be unless insane pours or bondo.[close][close]
kid fakie flipped a fuckin street, i’m sure he could clear some blind bumps.

Damn this is fucked. So far we have an ollie, fs 180 and a kickflip over a subway gap. And hopefully the footage isn’t super zoomed in that you can’t appreciate how big this is.
