i can see this brand being up there with some of the all time greats like numbers & 3D. in all seriousness though i back tyshawn a lot & wish the best for him & his new project. hopefully the graphics are a lot better than the logo.

I think it's usually gone bad when companies have done that eg habitat and element shoes. Shorty's would be the example where it improved the company but they did have to drop basically the whole team. Hardies has a decent team don't know how many would leave their board sponsors. Guess we'll see in time

There's a neat little way around most paywalls: Just open archive.is and copy the URL of the article you wanna read into the search bar. You can then open and read an archived version of the article. Comes in really handy!

The gist is that king is used as a term of encouragement and endearment in the black community. It's meant to be uplifting and reassuring. Since Tyshawn faces a lot of criticism based on racial undertones, I think it's important to point this out before people start calling him boastful and jocky again. (I realize many people will do that anyway, of course, but maybe there's a least some who think about it before judging him.)



Do you think it’s that deep?   His underwear company is called brick and Hardies (with its fisting sex toy logo) is named after a game where he and friends would hit each other.  Basquiat’s crowns this is not.   

I wouldn't say this is deep at all. On the contrary, it's quite on the nose. But just like kids don't get the most blatant sex jokes in movies, even such an obvious meaning tends to go right over the heads of people who rarely interact with and/or show little interest in black communities.

What do you think is the meaning? "Look at me, I'm the king!"? Possible, of course. But I just don't think Tyshawn is that kind of dude.

^I'd bet 0% of people were wondering why a black person would call their company king. 

There's literally already a post in here that's says it's a ripoff of Hop King. As I said, I can't tell if it's trolling or ignorance, but judging by a lot of posts in other threads about Tyshawn and other black skaters, there's a LOT of ignorance going on on Slap.

I may be echoing what others have said but the idea and meaning behind it: empowering and cool! Execution of the logo and connotation of the name: leaves a lot to be desired.

This feels like a local C or B tier brand. Tyshawn out here doing numbers with his dope restaurant, his pro model shoes, and everything else he's got his hands dipped into. But this? Idk, i want it to do well, but the first impressions are gonna be mixed.

Post by: scab on November 10, 2022, 02:11:55 AM
I don't think brands like this necessarily need or even want to be staples in core shops. I wouldn't be surprised if Tyshawn's goal is simply to do his own thing and have the company do well enough to stay afloat and not bleed money. I obviously don't have any insights in his finances, but I'm guessing he doesn't just light those Adidas checks on fire. It can absolutely makes sense from a financial point of view to invest that money into his own company instead of keeping it under the mattress, even though and sometimes especially if the company isn't very profitable. That can be achieved by relying on a couple major online resellers and direct b2c sales if your reach is big enough which definitely is the case for Tyshawn. Let's not forget that 99% of Slap users won't be the target audience for this brand.

Quote
Male friendship is often mocked, in the many “bro culture” memes and the jokey way we invoke the word “bromance.” For both men and women, it’s easier to laugh and ridicule than to accept that genuine love between male friends is real, and can be wholesome and completely devoid of toxic masculinity.

My male friends are some of the most supportive and loving people I know. They have given me jobs, told me when my fly was down, checked in on me when I ghosted them, let me know when I put too much Vaseline on my face, given me space when I’m wyling out, texted me when I’m anxious, talked me out of dumb decisions and held me when I cried. But more than anything else, they have loved me and appreciated me. Which is why my male friends and I have been following the newish trend among black men to call one another “king.”

Male friendships are appreciated in some areas of pop culture. Judd Apatow has made an entire career out of movies about them. If you were a white man in the mid-2000s and wanted to be an actor, you could go audition for one of his movies that featured Seth Rogen and hope you were cast opposite him as his white best friend.

Jay-Z and Kanye West are on-and-off best friends who made a monumental joint album in 2011 about their brotherhood and being successful, famous black men at the top of their game. The biggest rap group in the world right now is Migos, made up of Quavo, Takeoff and Offset, a trio of best friends who also are related to one another, rap together, make money together and love each other.

These are some areas of pop culture that I look to as models for what friendship can be. But ultimately I do things my way. Last week, my best friend Isaiah was dealing with a tough personal issue, and it hurt me that he was hurting. I woke up the next day, typed a beautiful text to him in which I called him a king, offered to buy him Chick-fil-A, and told him that I loved him and would be there for him if he needed to talk that day and every day that followed.

Sometimes “friend,” “buddy,” “pal” or “bro” doesn’t suffice. “King” is a word that goes a step further than others in proclaiming your love and appreciation. It’s like: I see you out there. You’re doing your thing, and we may not agree on the best song off Frank Ocean’s “Blonde,” but you are a king.

When I’m calling you a king, I’m admiring your sauce and trying to remind you that you do have that sauce. I’ll see a homie on Twitter feeling down, and I’ll text them four words: You are a king. I’ll be on Instagram and see that my friend Stephen just got a new haircut, and I’ll respond to his story with one four-letter word: king. I’ll greet my friend Alston at his birthday party with “Happy birthday, king.” I’ll be going through something stressful, and one of my homies will tell me: “You got this, king.”

Men calling each other king isn’t a new phenomenon. In the black community, people have been calling one another kings and queens for decades as a term of endearment and to support the idea that black people collectively descended from African royalty. Writer Damon Young pointed out the issues with this in a 2016 essay arguing against the practice, saying: “If you’re from a place where kings and queens existed, there’s a small chance you actually directly descended from them. And a much, much, much, much, much, much, much larger chance you descended from people who were ruled by them. And, if history is any guide, if you happen to be from a place with an unfathomably wealthy ruling class, that unfathomable wealth most likely ended with the ruling class.”

But many songs still perpetuate this idea. A 2013 Jay-Z song opens with an intro from Pimp C’s last interview, in which he talks about black people originating from kings. Despite the historical inaccuracy, calling each other kings and queens is simply a reminder of black Americans’ history in Africa before slavery, something that many in this country don’t know much about.

In the past year, “king” as a term of endearment among black people has become more popular and taken center stage on Twitter. There’s no specific meme or tweet from an account with several thousand followers that started it, and no BuzzFeed article full of tweets from people calling each other king to explain it. Rather it’s happened organically, the way many things do on Twitter.

However, with the resurgence of king-calling, it is understandable that some black people are not pleased that non-black men have co-opted the term.

“They always latch onto black endearment,” my friend Guled told me. “You don’t qualify.”

I’m a black man with tortoiseshell glasses and a nose ring, and I live in Brooklyn, so I do have white friends. However, we live in a patriarchal society where white men are the most privileged. They have been looked at as kings for centuries, and at this point I’m just not in the mood anymore to say what has already been said systemically. I would rather devote my time and breath to telling those among my male friends who will always live in a world that really doesn’t want them that they have that sauce and are the masters of that sauce.

Self-confidence fuels everything we do as human beings. Do you have the confidence in yourself to quit that weird marketing job and pursue your passion for cooking? Do you have the confidence in yourself to get that new haircut and proudly rock it? Do you have the confidence to just be you all the time and never sacrifice that for anyone? In 2018, there are so many things going on that affect our self-confidence and perception of ourselves as men, but when your kings got you and let you know that they love you and will always have your back? There’s nothing you can’t do.

He’s been skating a board w this logo in the middle, and so has Zach saracenco

Maybe i'm wrong but i thought the whole calling each other "king" thing came about as a way for black men to uplift each other? Please school me if i'm wrong, but if that is the case and they really HAD to go with this name it should've been an all black team imo. Glad he's getting put on, but having a VERY soft faced lookin white boy on a brand called "King" seems kinda weird.

Aside from the graphic design choices, it feels surprising to go with such a strongly gendered name for a skate brand in 2022, especially being based in NYC.

Hopefully there is a sister company in the works for Queen Skateboards…

In terms of branding and direction, I hope this project exceeds our expectations. I'm not so certain though. The logo on the website is like, a blown up jpg. It looks like the logo was a stroke/outline graphic in AI, pasted into PSD as pixels, scaled up using the cursor tool, then filled in with the paint can. Should have exported as SVG my dood.

This will not last. Like someone said it’s a Numbers type company. Plus Nakel has and will have say on the brand so you know it’s gonna be ass.
I don't know about that. Numbers had zero identity and direction and no idea behind it. There was no reason for that brand to exist in the first place.

This at least seems to have some sort of an idea behind it, and time will tell if they can actually follow through with it. Obviously the default ass name and logo aren't a good start though

Jokes aside I can't pretend I know much, 'king' isn't used here (actually it is, by Bahia bros, "ô meu rei" but it's not the same thing), so I thought it was just positive masculinity but in a very general way like 'chad memes'

something that might bug me more than the logo and brand name is that zach's last name is "saraceno" and not "sacareno". how much better does ZACH SACARENO roll off the tongue. all i'm saying is tyshawn better force a tx/desarmo style name change.

No statement from Tyshawn, but come on man, that's a fairly safe assumption to make if you know much about him. The whole black power ethos/fist is like hardies whole identity. That combined with his restaurant and how its run, plus other shit he's said in interviews makes it pretty clear that black activism is on the top of his priority list.

Came here to roast the shit out of the logo just to find you guys are hours ahead and 4 pages deep, so bummed lol.

Anyways the name and logo reminds me of an off-brand condom company. Like the type of shit you use on a chick from Philadelphia. Should’ve just made Hardies a board company to channel ‘peak Muska’ vibes, but with better money management.

Honestly the name isn’t terrible, as skate branding is literally just random nouns. But they gotta rework that logo and link up with a better artist. Can’t be the same person that did Hardies.

Edit: Also a black empowerment board company would at least make for an interesting art direction. Better than Dill’s Tarantino-esque infatuation of black culture with his FA graphics, or Alex Olson pretending to be gay for a couple years.

A) This is just one logo. Who the hell knows what else they have planned? Calling it a "dumpster fire" after seeing a single screenshot of an Instagram post is ridiculous.

B) You might have noticed that a lot of the highly paid, top-level pros have started their own board brands, and I don't think this is because they all dream of being the next Dill or PRod and controlling a huge swatch of the industry. Owning a company which loses money or barely breaks even is a time tested way for wealthy people to shelter their income from taxes. Tyshawn is involved with a restaurant and house flipping (another amazing tax scam), and this could very easily be just that. I don't mean to imply this in a nefarious way, it's just what a lot of high earners do.

The only way I could see King skateboards being a good brand is if, Basquiat was still alive and willing to make skateboard graphics.

As said before, this is gonna be a Numbers 2.0. Hoping the boards with the crown are just samples but I have a feeling they aren’t.

Look at Primitive. Not my favorite graphics but I think
it was a smart play to make them all gold. Caught a lot peoples eye. Plus, I think they had the clothing thing going. Would have been smart to just expand the Hardies brand as I think someone else said.

Hope it works out as I like Tyshawn and Zach’s skating.

A) This is just one logo. Who the hell knows what else they have planned? Calling it a "dumpster fire" after seeing a single screenshot of an Instagram post is ridiculous.

B) You might have noticed that a lot of the highly paid, top-level pros have started their own board brands, and I don't think this is because they all dream of being the next Dill or PRod and controlling a huge swatch of the industry. Owning a company which loses money or barely breaks even is a time tested way for wealthy people to shelter their income from taxes.

I agree that you have to see a product drop before calling it a dumpster fire, but it is a weak logo.

True, I didn't really even think that, cynically preferring everything to be an elaborate tax shelter. A few years ago, a shop owner told me that the only people making real money from decks sales were Nora and Andy Anderson. The days of $10,000/m checks are decades gone and they are never coming back. Most pros aren't this lucky, but if you've got a large, engaged fanbase on social media, you can probably make more money selling direct than you can being engaged with a brand.

say what you will about the name but let's remember, Tyshawn and Nak are coming from a brand named "Fucking Awesome" so in all fairness, "King" is a pretty solid step up from that imo

No. In a recent interview he said he wanted his video to have been released back in June/July but Thrasher made him wait to put it out. He also said he doesn’t care about being SOTY and they should give it to someone who just did one trick that stands out over people who release multiple parts just to flood the footage…

As usual I'm not sure who's trolling and who's ignorant, so I'll just leave this article here for people who don't get why a black man would name his company King.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/wp/2018/05/11/why-i-call-my-male-friends-king/

It's not my place to judge the name choice, but there's definitely a whole lot more thought and meaning behind it than some people might think.

Doesn't literally every tictok and whatever else kid these days call one another "king" literally constantly? It's a trendy word, even if it's possible to give it meaning too.

Would have been MUCH MORE interesting if he named his company Queen.

In terms of branding and direction, I hope this project exceeds our expectations. I'm not so certain though. The logo on the website is like, a blown up jpg. It looks like the logo was a stroke/outline graphic in AI, pasted into PSD as pixels, scaled up using the cursor tool, then filled in with the paint can. Should have exported as SVG my dood.

It looks like someone's high school project where they made up a skate company for a class learning to use the adobe creative suite.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin' knew it man fuck

As an addendum: I feel like logo design is less important than concept, and the concept behind this name is quite honestly so boring.

Surprise us Tyshawn!

I bet if you asked 10,000 skaters what they thought Tyshawn would name his company, 9,437 of them would be like, "Ah man he should name it 'King' that would be so rad."

What a snooze-fest.

No idea, I'm not on social media. Would definitely not be the first nor the last time that a term which carries a specific meaning in the black community, or any minority community for that matter, gets appropriated.


Would have been MUCH MORE interesting if he named his company Queen.

100% agree, that would have been awesome.
I'm not saying King a good or even a well thought-out name, just that there is an obvious connotation to it.

The validity of the origin story of that term is something else entirely, and afaik it's very much debated in black communities if the term should be used in that context at all, as @tyroneshoelace 's post indicates.
I'm not black and by no means an expert in the matter, just a linguist. I'm not here to discuss the merits of the term, just wanted to make people who didn't know about it aware of it.

I know Tyshawn is form New York, so I thought oh maybe he called it King because he was born in Queens on some King of Queens shit.  I googled his name and saw on Wikipedia he isn't born in Queens, but in the first paragraph I saw this

"Jones was a fan of Lizard King in his early days and part of a photo op featuring Lizard King followed by "thousands" of other skaters"

No matter what he says, I am just going to pretend this brand is named after his love to for Lizard King.  Also, if you go to the King website the logo is all blown up and pixelated.  I can't wait to see what amazing innovations this premium brand of elite athletes brings to the game.

Honestly this makes Nyjah's Disorder look good in comparison (let that sink in).

this logo looks like they went to snoop doggs instagram and DM'd the first person who commented "im a young aspiring graphic designer hit me up if you need an album cover or profile pic."

Lee Perry did not create dub, it was "created" when a sound system operator named Ruddy Redwood went to Treasure Isle to have some acetates cut for his sound and the engineer accidentally left the vocals off one. He played the vocal-less one at a dance later that night and the crowd went wild, after that he started asking for more acetates without out the vocals, thus the birth of the version.  You would also be remiss to not mention Prince(King)Jammy, Prine Philip Smart, Errol Thompson and Sylvan Morris as super skilled dub engineers.

Well he certainly did release the first dub album 'Blackboad Jugle Dub" with King Tubby and had been experimenting with it long before then. Lets argue about it. I do appreciate your knowledge.

Love Dub. Thanks to older bandmates, I was introduced to it at a relatively young age. It's one of the most psychedelic genres out there. I really like the legends mentioned, but no one's mentioned my personal favorite, SCIENTIST. His "Rids the World of the Curse of the Vampires" is so good, not to mention several other albums. There's great UK Dub stuff too like Linton Kwesi Johnson, Mikey Dread, Mad Professor/Ranking Ann, and last but not least, Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell; he gets extra points for producing the Saâda Bonaire stuff and Post-Punk classics like The Pop Group's "Y" and The Slits' "Cut". There's also the On-U Sound label, which went all sorts of different ways with Dub.

Thats highly debatable


determining the "first dub LP" is a bit of a red herring though because people had been releasing "dub" on 45 for 5 years or so by then

it evolved from just instrumental versions of vocal tracks to DJs toasting on top to little sprinkles of sound effects to full-blown echo/delay-laden mixing console studio productions

Could honestly split hairs/dork out endlessly but yeah versions were happening for 6 years prior to the release of the first dub lps(which were a response/way to further cash in on dub's popularity and also helped to expand reggae's audience even further).

Y’all say dm him like a man always, posts a comment and then you try to walk it back. Of course a new company is gonna come under fire, especially when you got one of the worlds best riders, and undoubtedly one of the worst logos since real.


People say 'dm him like a man' when there's questions to be answered... not 'post a public comment saying his new thing is shitty'

*criticizes a complete stranger's passion project by comparing to a "shitty department store brand" directly to them*

*get understandably and justifiably blocked by said stranger on the internet*

*comes to other strangers on the internet seeking validation*

what do you call yourself?

I don't think it has anything to do with how fragile or not his ego is. He has a new company that he has invested money in. Why would he not, with the simple tap of a phone screen, block a complete random from the internet who's come for the sole purpose of trying to tear down what he is working on?

And here you are, still thinking about, making a post. Who really has the fragile ego here?

As someone who works in PR, I can say that blocking people who criticize you is a terrible business move. It makes the brand look fragile and unstable. The fact that this was his personal account (I assume?) means there is a bit more leeway, but never has a company benefited from blocking people who criticize them on social media. All it does is feed the trolls and amplifies what those now-blocked users were shouting about.

I'm not saying this as a judgement against anyone, just what I've seen in the industry and the messes I've had to clean up for companies. I don't have any real feelings toward TJ outside of recognizing he's one of the best technical skaters around right now.

they want an easy logo to replicate they can just draw it themselves on the streets. the wu tang W was a bit of a fail cause most clowns couldnt draw it properly without a reference.

what graphics sell these days/ over the test of time?

I imagine most modern marketing experts would agree that in 2022 the best logo is the logo that everyone is talking about. This page is like 8 pages long and 24 hours.

Suprising people aren't making the obvious connection between this King logo and the branding used by other professional athletes like Tiger Woods, Labron James, etc. The concept of it being Adidas compatible is also probably on point.

As someone else has mentioned, F.A. was a 'stupid brand' with a 'stupid name' and 'stupid logo' that went straight to the top within a year or two,


There are different kinds of "stupid". FA is very self aware, tongue in cheek stupid. The whole thing is kinda supposed to be stupid.

King is not joking around with the name or logo, it's not ironic or self aware.

Probably because he has homies on hardies that have other board sponsors. So if hardies becomes a board brand it's a bad look for those friends to continue to rep it.

What is funny about all this is back in the day we couldn’t care less about the graphic on a board, it was all all about the shape and the concave, it all gets scratched off in the end, and, you would wear sick graphic gear from whatever you liked, but I guess that all went out the door with the advent of popsicle popularity and team congruity.

I never once heard a discussion on how lame the Santa Cruz logo is, which it is, or how sick the H-Street logo was, which it was.

Nak deleted his or archived it.


They has been talks of them leaving since around 2017-18. The original plan was for the FA x Adidas event to be their big farewell to FA, but Nak jumped the gun, and broke it off earlier, and said some things that soured the relationship with FA. Originally FA was meant to take care of the production and distribution of King, but Nak severed that relationship.


Heard they couldn't get the trademark for King Skateboarders either, so they had to get it as 'K1ng Crown', with the LLC being 'Kings Skateboard' lol.

Main points as quick as possible
*Lottie opened a shop, Nak saw him as an outsider criddling in his area
*One of naks friends was told not to smoke in the shop, another brought in a board to be regripped but it was covered in dogshit and was turned away, angered Nak further
*Some local kids were getting fucked with for wearing Lottie's gear, Lottie warned other kids about certain areas, Nak took max level insult to this talked a bunch of shit on insta about Lottie
*Lottie thought fuck it, it's not worth it and closed the shop

i don’t want to spread a rumor that may or may not be true. i just remember in the original thread there was a guy who said he either worked at lottie’s or was a friend of the owner/major local who told the whole story about the grip tape/blunt incidents & i feel like i either remember him or someone else saying something about a kid being shot in a drive by for being affiliated with lotties & or wearing the gear. again, i don’t want to spread false information but, i definitely feel like i remember reading that somewhere within the long winded thread/controversy.

I just watched Bill Burr short on YouTube this morning that had a near identical logo at the bottom.

Dudes might wanna rethink the design.

With Nickel’s Lotties beef, I’m guessing a lot of shops are going to be skeptical about starting business with these guys. They’re probably going to have to rely on web sales for a bit, which won’t be easy with that bullshit aesthetic. Especially now with demand down and the market flooded.
[close]

I missed that thread, can someone please explain exactly what went down, please?
[close]
Main points as quick as possible
*Lottie opened a shop, Nak saw him as an outsider criddling in his area
*One of naks friends was told not to smoke in the shop, another brought in a board to be regripped but it was covered in dogshit and was turned away, angered Nak further
*Some local kids were getting fucked with for wearing Lottie's gear, Lottie warned other kids about certain areas, Nak took max level insult to this talked a bunch of shit on insta about Lottie
*Lottie thought fuck it, it's not worth it and closed the shop
[close]
also someone was killed in a drive by, right? not sure if my memory serves me right, or if so that it had anything to do with that beef itself. i just remember hearing someone was killed wearing lotties or being an affiliate & that seemed to be the last straw.
[close]

whoa, hope that’s not true. but nakel got his dipshit followers to basically fade on sight anyone wearing lottie’s shit, which actually happened a handful of times. it ended with the kids who worked there showing up for their shift to a bunch of people waiting outside of the store to jump them and brian pulled the plug on it. it was literally for no reason.

All I’m getting from this is you think Mike Gigliotti is Brian Lotti

Hardies into a board brand would have been best. Boardies is a fun name, but I don’t think Tyshawn or Nak are playing games haha.


Hardies could have evolved into a complete hard goods brand (wheels, bushings, bearings). Still could. Honestly, King boards might have a chance but, the first graphic we are all seeing isn’t it. Maybe some editing genius can hypnotize us with the first edit they release but, damn.

Damn, I feel like HG skateboard would have been better than King. Damn near every comment Tyshawn has on IG

I still remember when FA released their first boards with their elementary school pics. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever to not at least do their Hulkamania logo on a board. Years later now, their graphics (I assume) are liked and the school picture deck is sort of cool when a skater turns pro.

And I wasn't really aware of Girl Skateboards when they released their first decks but were people really into that graphic as well? Most first graphics are pretty lame out the gate.

The crown as a graphic isn’t bad per se, it’s really the super generic execution of it. The ones you mention have a good concept behind it (FA school photo) or a simple logo executed well (girl). So far what we’ve seen from King has neither.

While it takes more than talent to be a pro skater Kevin White doesn’t have the talent ability or style to be an amateur skater. Poor Scott. Plan B should’ve turned him pro.

It's funny - you either look like B.A. and Jake Johnson or you look like Rickety Cricket wobbling from a withdrawl.

Short skaters get either Bryan Herman grace or "land with your front-truck 50-50s".

There were rumors that Numbers was a Nike funded board brand and I'm assuming now people are thinking this is an Adidas board brand. I'm pretty sure the Numbers rumors were refuted, but who really knows. I'm honestly tired of these random board brands popping up, but hopefully Tyshawn can make this something other than a tax write off.

“Nike is funding board brands” only insofar as they paid a lot of skaters so much money that they were able to get their own companies off of the ground. The idea that Nike is the slightest bit interested in the manufacture and distribution of skateboard is borderline delusional.

Somehow KWhites skating has kind of grown on me. Can’t say he’s my favorite but, I think he’s a good ambassador for skateboarding.

Hope to see a baker video out and wish it had Kader but starting to see the reality that he’s probably leaving. Saw an interview where he said he wants to build something like Reynolds did with Baker, but it was in context with making pants.

His nine club has me thinking the same , with what Kelly was saying about being in like japan and the homie there getting all hyped cause they’re friends. He’s a positive dude, gets along with the entire industry seemingly and is good enough at skating that while on skill alone maybe he wouldn’t be pro but as total package and someone to represent a brand and skateboarding at large is the perfect dude. Respect, especially since I’ve vocally hated on dude here multiple times.

did anyone else notice kevin white seeming a bit offended for a moment after chris roberts said he initially thought mid 90s might be bullshit? that had me laughing so hard.

Yeah, I'm 6'2 and I feel like in this day and age I am average-tall.

This is kind of weird but Tyshawn's Adidas pro model felt so good on my feet I assumed just based on what I'd seen of him and his massive pop that he was at least 6'4 or taller with big wide feet. I bought those and the Busenitz together for a steal and the Boozentits pro model felt narrow and odd to me. I'm sure it doesn't even mean shit and shoe-to-shoe mass production varies but I looked up each of their height and shoe sizes... lo and behold Busenitz is fucking 6'10 with an unknown shoe size, I'm assuming at least a 12 (what I wear) and Tyshawn is 6 feet even with 8 1/2 shoe size based on a modelling portfolio PDF from his management I found online. Of course, someone's pro model isn't customized to their feet and is more made for wide audience mass consumption but I'm sure these days you can get things closer to what you want exactly vs settling for designs someone else already came up with. I don't even know where I'm going with this but just thinking about different body morphologies and how they could affect someones skateboarding.

I'm gonna guess typo and busenitz is 5'10 or there's some basketball player with the same name or something. I think the tallest pro is Ron Whaley who's 6'7 donta hill may of been the same height but not pro then also Sean Payne. Jake Nunn was 6'5 and I think ba and Stacy Lowery are 6'4.(I'm not just some weirdo who knows everyone's heights, I'm 6'6 so payed attention when there were other skaters who were "too tall")

Also just looking at him next to average-height pros and he's probably not even 6 feet tall. Clowning myself again with some wasted stream-of-consciousness shitspam.

Yeah just joking about his name. Yes I think it was he was unhappy with how cons didn't even make an insta post about his part coming out. Possibly during the time where POC were being open with how they were mistreated by the industry (was that what happened with Hakeem leaving choc?)

No way. Adidas is the second largest shoe maker after Nike. They still do half of Nike's sales, but their growth has been exponential. I only know this stuff because one of my best friends works in the athletic shoe business, but Nike is rightly concerned that Adidas could overtake them in a decade or so.

No he didn't. It was about weed in Japan or somewhere and one dude felt like the other kept too much of the bag they all contributed to. Gershon said something to the Boss and for a few days in a row, drunk Boss would heckle Gershon about it. "oh my weed, think of the weed" or something like that. Gershon resorted to violence because his poetry didn't have any effect on Reynolds. They've both talked about it in interviews.

Amazing shoes, great flick, pretty light. The only negative thing I can think of is that they kind of lose their grip pretty fast. When the pattern on the sole started to fade I was slipping around on the grip. But that was in wet winter times...

Obviously not and Gonz releases collabs for Adidas, but he's mostly clad in Supreme logos/clothes. Do his shoes sell particularly well? By biggest I didn't mean gross annual sales I meant popularity among young people. Lots of people wear Adidas but aren't paying a price premium or seeking out specific "drops" or "pieces". Clearly there will be no way to make my point with you, but I see more people rocking a Supreme top or pants than Adidas. It seems like a silly brand for a person of his age to be fitted in (aside from the shoes), whereas Adidas isn't.

I'm lacking in brainpower and communication today, but essentially Adidas has been mainstream for decades whereas people still seem entranced by whatever shit Supreme drops. I do see wayyyyy more Adidas collab shoes and gear on sale and close out and people still pay near or over retail for a Supreme logo shirt second hand on Depop. Maybe "bigger hyped brand" is better?

Not that big of a football (what it means in the rest of the world) fan, but you literally had to watch two of the most unsignificant teams in the world. If you want to see it displayed at its finest, watch it when the big nations of South America and Europe go against each other.

And Basketball and american football is not that big outside of the US. I haven't seen any ultras support that genre of sports.

Boring or not soccer/football is the most popular sport on the planet and it's not even close. Basketball is sort of too far the other way where to me it's also boring. Huge guys on a pathetically small field running back and forth scoring every 6 seconds. Score so much it becomes meaningless. Some kind of adults 7-9 a side soccer on a 3/4 size field with much shorter game could be interesting but they'll never change how soccer works.

Soccer is only popular because you need to be hella tall to be good or play at a professional level. If you’re not a minimum 6’5” you better godly

You mean basketball, correct?  Soccer/futbol dudes are short.  Only one that needs to be somewhat tall is the goalie

Not that big of a football (what it means in the rest of the world) fan, but you literally had to watch two of the most unsignificant teams in the world. If you want to see it displayed at its finest, watch it when the big nations of South America and Europe go against each other.

And Basketball and american football is not that big outside of the US. I haven't seen any ultras support that genre of sports.

not sure what value i'm adding to the world by writing an ill-thought out mini-essay on the differences in the european and north american psyche and their manifestations in sport, but here goes:

by necessity i'm painting in ludicrously broad brush strokes here, by i think each camp has a fundamentally different answer to the question of how you make something exciting.

the north american answer is that you design for excitement. disney land is magical by excruciatingly detailed design. likewise, the nfl is exciting because the rules say it has to be. one team being in possession without doing much with it is boring, so it isn't allowed. if you don't advance down the field at a speed of at least 10 yards per 4 plays, we will take the ball off you. if you don't hit your excitement quota, you get sacked, essentially.

even within that, the mechanism of making the distance required to stay in possession is designed to be exciting. the rules make it overwhelmingly likely a play is only ever likely to last around 2-10 seconds. then the teams reset and look to the playbook for a pre-correographed, explosive action to perform.

compare that to soccer. with the exception of a really well taken free kick, set pieces are considered the least exciting/beautiful/memorable way to score. look up any 'goals of the season/tournament' compilation. you're not going to see many/any corners or penalties even though they account for a lot of goals - which is because set pieces are considered a bit meh, a bit passe, somehow.

i think distaste for set pieces comes from something in the european psyche that assumes you can't manufacture excitement. a set piece is pre-planned, an imposed order. the whole point of excitement is that it's unplanned, or that it goes contrary to the plan.

basically, americans find soccer boring because there is nothing hardwired into the game to guarantee a spectacle. it can (and does) just drift along in a state of stalemate for long periods.

europeans find the nfl boring for the exact opposite reason. the very rules of the game are trying to guarantee excitement, but nothing guaranteed can be truly exciting.

of course, this may be down more to the history of the sports than any difference is psyche. the rules of soccer formed as the result of slowly codifying something people had been doing for hundreds and hundreds of years. so the idea that the thing was already engaging and exciting wasn't a consideration in the rules. it was more a case of making something already considered exciting into something that was also fair, safe and administered consistently.

i don't know about the history of the nfl, but i guess the sport either went from conception to codification a lot quicker, or was actively designed from the ground up. obviously, if you're *creating* a sport rather than just *codifying* a pre-existing one, you're way more likely to consider the rules as a tool for ensuring it doesn't end up being really boring.

thanks for coming to my simplistic, stereotype-riddled ted talk.

Soccer is the most popular sport because it has the least barriers to entry - you really only need a ball and physical stature is not a huge factor as like with football/basketball. And for Gonz, it is possible that sup pays more than adidas - so bright red puffer jackets it is

alright fellas i know yall are passsionate about soccer and i honestly wish i cared as much about anything the way some dudes rep their teams (clubs?) but take it to the non-american football thread fellas.

back to business

is the brand's logo a ripoff of the Basquiat crown or did they license it or am i just deepfried? Tyshawn is undeniably really good skateboarding and has been since he was 4ft tall skating 12th and A... but he needs to leave all the creative shit to his team of yesmen.

Hardies boards would be cool... but it was definitely set up like Bronze where its just a half serious company so that all the homies on competing shoe/board brands could share a sponse, kick it together and go on trips type business model.. which was taken from Diamond.

Hahaha- you ever watched Qatar vs Ecuador Football or Basketball Match?

Don’t care about soccer- but globally it’s definitely the largest in terms of turnover and popularity. There is no football „World Cup“ in the US Football is by far the biggest league - but there is no other football league comparable globally. Same for baseball and Basketball - huge league with gigantic turnover in US - but in any other country Soccer is the biggest league and in total they are bigger then the US football / baseball market.

My favorite team Sport to watch anyway is the very small and commercial not comparable Rugby.

I always find it so fucking weird that of all brands for Gonz to be tied closely to (that he doesn't own) Supreme seems to be the biggest. I can't imagine many people older than 25 wearing the clothes except for dudes that wait in line to buy shoes, and he's like double that old?

Full agree. It really annoys me how they basically exploit his legendary status by throwing his name amongst a roster of skaters 1/3 his age, then only having a couple goofy clips in their videos. I'm sure it's a nice paycheck, but I have a feeling Gonz doesn't really need it, what with his art career, Krooked, Adidas, etc.

Then, on the opposite spectrum, they toss Beatrice in amongst heavy hitters... like we won't notice.

I had a realization the other day that there's a version of Mark that old heads that love him like to ignore. Obviously his fits are the best from Blind to early Krooked but when Mark rode for Vision Street Wear he was Mister Fucking Vision Street Wear. From that era there are a few classic fits like the tree wallie fit or even what he's wearing when he does the 50-50 down the rail in NYC but most of them are pretty terrible and look like whatever's in the box, Vision's contrived radical style and then Gonz's general weirdness all thrown together. A great example of this gone wrong is on the pump on the chrome sculpture in NYC in the all over VSW button up which, now that I'm typing this, I realize is probably the same fit as the 50-50, just without the button up. I've come to love that era when Mark was 100% owned by Vision, particularly how bridles against it with the impromptu fashion shoot with Natas or the grip tape art and bizarro sticker jobs, and so I've come to accept that Mark is gonna be down to be Mr Supreme or Adidas and that's cool and totally tracks with stuff he's done in the past.

Has anyone brought up the fact that Tyshawn comes off as a douche bag in his new Thrasher interview? I was shocked and bummed on that. Then the first thing I see this morning on Thrasher stories is him re-doing the picnic table ollie. He's lurking on here for sure.

No, it’s kinda frowned upon to mention that, but cool to rehash a decade old Koston IG comment or wry AO interview with Jenkem or when MJ once talked about bringing new ideas to adidas or whatever the fuck he said   

Just remember: the guy who thinks it’s lame when people make a big effort to go for SOTY has a King part and a Supreme part still to come this year.

I always find it so fucking weird that of all brands for Gonz to be tied closely to (that he doesn't own) Supreme seems to be the biggest. I can't imagine many people older than 25 wearing the clothes except for dudes that wait in line to buy shoes, and he's like double that old?
[close]

Full agree. It really annoys me how they basically exploit his legendary status by throwing his name amongst a roster of skaters 1/3 his age, then only having a couple goofy clips in their videos. I'm sure it's a nice paycheck, but I have a feeling Gonz doesn't really need it, what with his art career, Krooked, Adidas, etc.

Then, on the opposite spectrum, they toss Beatrice in amongst heavy hitters... like we won't notice.
[close]

I hear so many things about marks finances, from he's a multi millionaire to he lost everything to the IRS and had to borrow cash from friends. No idea what is true. I usually don't pocket watch but the financial status of aging pros is more interesting than the financial status of some 20-something.
[close]
Jason Lee's talked before about getting fucked by not paying taxes. Wouldn't be surprised if gonz got the same treatment. It probably only really matters for those pros who got famous/went on to make much bigger amounts of money

nowadays it seems so stupid for pros not to have a tax consultant

My buddies dad used to run a jewelry/collectibles pawn shop place in sf.  He said Gonz would come in looking for coins and would regularly fleece himself by purchasing a coin over asking price just because he liked how it "felt in his hand".  He said also that when it was time to pay, Gonz would just hand over a wad of cash and ask my buddies dad to count it out.

Seems like nobody can make up their minds about anyone , “he’s cocky, he’s too humble, he’s too quiet”. Do we want everyone to be completely neutral and plain?

It was more of his attitude like (again I don't have the mag in front of me) I skateboard. Its what I do but Its not who I am. But its my outlet. I don't watch skate videos. I don't care about SOTY. I don't skate with real skaters or my peers just regular people who don't skate that skate. I don't look up to pro because they my equals but I love Lizard King. Weird interview.  There was no confidence in that interview.

I don't know what authority you claim here, but your comment reads like you're stating facts.

I know plenty of people who have risked and been through more than most people will ever imagine and they're also quite humble.

Just because someone overcomes hardship doesn't give them carte blanche to be haughty.

Sometimes people think someone is an asshole simply because they're actually an asshole.

TJ has self confident vibes but
theres a difference between self confident and being a cocky asshole
Id rather hang out with him than guys like that from One In A Million Ruben Barack ass motherfuckers which i imagine lots of people are. fake dickriding humbleness, needing hugs after tricks and everything is rad and the legends in the game need so much honor and being humble is so rad dude.

when was i flexing. its just something i do. i do think white people suck sometimes and have weird gimmicks that they dont even see like dressing as lumberjacks to look like real men. you made fun of me and i explained that:

kids from broken homes that become successfull early and dont have a father figure need some other type of believe in them selfs because they have to. middle class people will call them cocky disregarding their own nepotism and privilege of not having to stand up for themselves because they already have safeness around and a plan of life that worked out.
its not the only way you can turn out to in this situation. it just makes sense here and you either sympathize with people not being chill humble dudes all the time or you dont.
for me theres nothing i hate more than fake copy and paste humbleness

I can’t even keep up with all your generalizations.  Broken homes hardly have the market cornered on creating cockiness though.  And there is a difference between that and belief in yourself. 
Even if being cocky or an asshole were products of your upbringing, explained by the root of it doesn’t make it good.

First graphic looks pretty dope. If they continue with art like this. I’ll eat my words of whatever i said and probably cop.

Except the crown logo still sucks. But it makes me think it was easy to make and stencil on boards and not a reflection of future graphics

Throwing it out there. I’m calling that Dashawn is gonna be on sometime in the coming year. Toy never posts him on their Insta. He’s a god damn star and he deserves max coverage and pay check.

Robert Neal would make more sense (for baseless speculation) since he occupies Nakel peer group.   Does Dashawn even skate with any of them?
[close]

Heavy Dashawn background props in Tyshawn’s last part.

Dashawn and toy was a weird fit to me. It’s just that Toy is a brand anyone would want to ride for and Dashawn is a skater anyone would want on their team. Now Hoban sort Fills that spot as a contest skater whose joy division shirt came from a vintage store instead of target

First graphic is just TJ googling "richest person of all time" and finding a non-protected image to slap on a board. There isn't much more symbolism to Mansa Musa. Dude had 500 slaves with him on his pilgrimage to Mecca, but TJ probably didn't actually read much about him just wanted to remind everyone that his whole goal is material wealth.

No one really seems to want Dashawn on their team for whatever reason.   He was stuck with some Berries brands or whatever for a bit then slumming it on MJs brand before finally getting a legit sponsor with Toy Machine, which likely was due to Sinclair’s help for a Nike rider

Guess they only had one bowl and had to take turns for their noodles. Naturally I think he means suciu when he talks about make multiple parts but make sure they're all good but sucius parts were all good so who else could it be? Can't think of anyone dumping multiple throw away parts thinking they'll get soty for it.

You are ignoring context, a lot like all the people here who've been hinting at or flat out equating the characteristics of slavery within the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the new world and slavery in 14th century Africa (before anyone flips out, it is absolutely my opinion that neither are good, but they were different and Mansa Musa on a skateboard is not the same as the confederate flag on a skateboard). Gonz and Natas had major influence on the definition of what skateboarding was and the shape it eventually took. TJ is definitely influential and has taken flip tricks to new heights/distances. He's cemented himself while being unapologetically himself and blazed a trail for lots of others. However, he isn't reinventing the entire game, and he wouldn't have certain boundaries to push if early street skaters didn't create them.

Nak is not even part of this discussion.

@modern life is war I said they were different in my post, and I went out of my way to make it clear that i think slavery is never good, but here is this for you to read and decide for yourself.

Quote
In contrast to the chattel slavery that later developed in the New World, an enslaved person in West and Central Africa lived within a more flexible kinship group system. Anyone considered a slave in this region before the trans-Atlantic trade had a greater chance of becoming free within a lifetime; legal rights were generally not defined by racial categories; and an enslaved person was not always permanently separated from biological family networks or familiar home landscapes...

...Ultimately, the practice of slavery as an oppressive and exploitative labor system was prevalent in both Western Africa and the Americas long before the influence of Europeans. Still, the factors that defined the social, political, and economic purposes and scale of slavery significantly changed, expanded, and intensified with the rise of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and American plantation agriculture launched by European expansion. For these reasons, African and American Indian slavery before the trans-Atlantic trade differed significantly from the chattel slavery systems that would later develop in the Atlantic World.

If you aren't deflecting, then please actually tell us what you mean when you say "more influential."

The only ground I see that standing on is the fact that TJ has influenced more kids and the way they dress because they can pick up a cell phone and see his skating and how sick it is. That's a far cry from having a greater influence on skateboarding than Gonz, Natas, and other early street dudes did.

Edit: @modern life is war dude I said it twice now, plain as day. You're trying to bait me into sounding like I'm apologizing for one form of slavery when all I'm trying to do is point out that it's unfair to get online and say a black man in 2022 supports slavery because he put a prominent black figure from the 1300's on a skateboard. It's especially fucked to do so because most of us have American slavery called to mind when we hear a statement like that, a form of slavery which specifically deemed black people as racially inferior.

Lets judge someone for using the historical image of a historical figure from 700 years ago who doesn't to live up to the moral standards of today. How do you think people got rich throughout history up until 150 years ago, by giving out socks to the guy at Hertz? War and conquest have always been a part of history, up until today where you can get rich off doritos collaborations and finger popping your bootyhole on onlyfans instead.

Bravo, but to be honest if one thing gave @LebowskisRug 's comment* some merit is how people don't seem to give as much of a fuck to arguments like yours when it comes to white figures of the past. See statues being torn down etc.

Nakel intentionally caused harm to Lottie’s Skateshop. One of their employees was special needs who got assaulted and forced to take a Lottie’s sweatshirt off while he was out walking by himself because Nakel told them to. How does this sit well with anyone? How does he even have a single sponsorship? Go on YouTube and type in “nakel Lottie’s” and you will see a video of Nakel telling people to “rip Lottie’s clothing off people’s backs”. How is this ok? Someone explain to me how you could still support this person?
I spent a lot of time at Lottie’s and loved that shop and all they did. They never deserved their outcome, yet adidas still sponsors nakel, so does Thunder and others. Wtf?
I spoke directly to Mike who owned Lottie’s and I tried to get him to publicly speak on this but he won’t. I respect that. He did offer to talk to nakel or fight the guy, and of course nakel wouldn’t do either. He just sent his half a million Instagram followers against them.

Nakels friend came into Lottie’s and told them to regrip his board that had dog shit all over it, all while he was rolling a blunt. There were other customers in the store, mike told the kid no, and also asked him to take the weed outside. The kid was offended, then went and told Nakel that Lottie’s disrespected him. That started the problems, but not long after that, a kid who hung out at Lottie’s got beat up at the local skatepark really badly. Lottie’s then made a Instagram story just saying “hey locals, be careful at Rancho skatepark, kids have been getting robbed there” and since that skatepark is where Nakel grew up skating, he decided to take offense. None of it was rational at all. That’s when Nak when to Instagram and told his 500k followers to fuck up anyone wearing Lottie’s. In one of his god awful rap songs, he even brags about what he did, saying “yeah I shut your shop down”. Biggest asshole in skating and should never have a platform again.

Graphic is more inspired than I was expecting given the logo.
Tyshawn is cool. I liked his explanation on doing tricks at iconic spots instead of just filming. Nak is still lame but fuck it tj loyal to his homies . I think they’ll be fine as a brand.

Nakels friend came into Lottie’s and told them to regrip his board that had dog shit all over it, all while he was rolling a blunt. There were other customers in the store, mike told the kid no, and also asked him to take the weed outside. The kid was offended, then went and told Nakel that Lottie’s disrespected him. That started the problems, but not long after that, a kid who hung out at Lottie’s got beat up at the local skatepark really badly. Lottie’s then made a Instagram story just saying “hey locals, be careful at Rancho skatepark, kids have been getting robbed there” and since that skatepark is where Nakel grew up skating, he decided to take offense. None of it was rational at all. That’s when Nak when to Instagram and told his 500k followers to fuck up anyone wearing Lottie’s. In one of his god awful rap songs, he even brags about what he did, saying “yeah I shut your shop down”. Biggest asshole in skating and should never have a platform again.

Yeah this is what I’m hoping for. Nakel got a special needs person assaulted and terrified. He caused a core shop to close their doors, and caused other young kids to get hurt. Is that not enough for someone to get booted from their sponsors?

War and conquest have always been a part of history, up until today where you can get rich off doritos collaborations and finger popping your bootyhole on onlyfans instead.
Funny to me that these two financial models briefly intersected in an idabble video (before it was removed) where Maxham asks Alfred to explain the IC debacle to his viewing public.

@Eastsidelunatic Okay, so explain why he isn’t persona non grata for single handedly shutting a skate shop down? How come other pros haven’t called him out on it? How come this wasn’t the rebuttal to all the times he was being vocal about some of the racism he experienced in the industry? More popular people have been kooked out of sponsors for less.

Also calling me a Nak fanboy is a weak deflection. You can just look at my post history and see how little I talk about him. Just the story that you shared has been consistent with similar stories from people with low post counts, and the story seems to only  circulate on Slap and nowhere else so it comes off as cap.

“Comes off as cap” lol you are definitely a nakel fan. I think the reason you don’t hear more of this outside of slap is that no one wants to be on Nakels radar. He is clearly mentally deranged and anyone who ends up in his cross hairs gets called racist, so people get scared.

I mean Nak is basically Who Kid 2022 at this point. In that For Days video, he was dick riding TJ pretty hard for someone who is supposed to be a peer. Pretty sure Nak is radioactive as he was quietly cut from Supreme and when TJ said he was quitting FA, Nak asked 'Where are WE going?" Finally, the crossed out FA tat -- if every high profile business relationship you've ever had (IC, FA, etc.) ends in a beef, maybe you're the problem.

Cool, your version of the story is 100% true and unbiased. You’re saying that people in the industry are scared to call out Nakel (a mid tier pro who hasn’t put out stuff in years) because of a fear that he would…call them racist? But I’m a fanboy for thinking that sounds fucking stupid.

How about this. Ask anyone who was remotely close to the shop or incident if what I’m saying is true. Literally anyone. It’s a fact that Nakel told people to hurt Lottie’s locals. Again, there is video proof on YouTube. How could my take be biased when there’s footage of nakel doing just that.

Well of course someone who is close to the shop is going to paint the story in a way you’ve described it. The same way Nakel’s crew will downplay the situation to make him look favorable.

I’m just saying for me to believe that this story is simply, “crazy Nakel sic’d his goons on Lotties employees because the doo-doo griptape weed man felt disrespected” requires a lot. Especially when most of the situation is a big he said she said, and that he is still somehow backed by DLX and Adidas.

Edit: had to fix some autocorrect bs.

I agree with you to an extent, that the shit on grip tape story is hard to believe, but nakel and his friends are truly that petty. They are in fact Pettier than you could even imagine.
Dlx probably backs him because Jim Thiebaud for some reason backs some of the worst people on planet earth. Adidas I can’t say. My guess is that his time there won’t last for long

Say what you want, the fact is a Special needs person was assaulted because of Nakels actions. Go ahead and back him and his new King skates if you want, but getting someone assaulted who had nothing to do with your problems and someone who can’t defend themselves is down right evil.

So the launch of this company is based purely around Tyshawn's SOTY push? 2 boards and a 2 minute video? No real introduction to a team, no boards available in shops, I don't know, maybe because I think Limosine's roll out was so successful and almost set a blueprint for all new companies in a sense, this just feels like a letdown.

Sounds like TJ was gonna do this with out Nak, and Nak decided to join TJs new project. Then the brand drops with a board and video with only TJ.

I feel you but at the same time I’m sure he understands. He wants his best friend to get soty again and I’m sure he knows he has nothing to offer to that, if anything it’d take away. He has a 1 minute (lol) “part” coming out soon anyway.

I reckon Naks happy to let TJ take the lead as it's obviously his thing, and a bit of a SOTY push.  TJ is pretty ambitious too so I dont think he would have minced words about letting him take the lane for the launch / soty window, but it def seems rushed and undercooked.  I reckon Nak will have a short part in Jan.  Hope it doesn't just vapourise when he realises how much work it is, like most of these vanity projects.

If they was on sale. Yes, contingent  If the art department was better and didn’t do the blatant copy paste. I wasn’t aware when I first saw the graphic. I was stoked it was gonna be like geared towards black history. I say that as an old white guy. But it would be a cool concept. Even though the first graphic got into heated debates on slap. If they would have an artist do a depiction on mansa musa and that would of been cool.

But I don’t think TJ is as great of a business guy as most of slap does. He needs to hire an artist and have a direction and I don’t think he does.

But I don’t think TJ is as great of a business guy as most of slap does. He needs to hire an artist and have a direction and I don’t think he does.

I don’t think he’s a great business guy.   He invested in/opened  a restaurant.  That’s like no-no #1

Restaurant is for his mother, she runs it.

It’s great to look out for your mom like that, but objectively speaking: Pouring money in business for family and friends is actually no-no #1.  Restaurants are #2.  I think the NFL literally has guest speakers talk to rookies about that topic

Wow, that's pretty nuts and makes a lot of sense.

It's always bewildering how many people think that they can "just open a restaurant".

I wonder if TJ's spot is self-sustaining yet.

Are any of you guys planning on buying these skateboards? Just curious.

Does anyone know what woodshop they use either?

If they was on sale. Yes, contingent  If the art department was better and didn’t do the blatant copy paste. I wasn’t aware when I first saw the graphic.

Kinda funny that even fast food chains aren't a great investment right now.

Yeah and they have razor-thin profit margins which is why they’re allowed to pay their staff below minimum wage with the expectation that it will be made up in tips.   

Ask DeNiro how he felt about his restaurant investments during the pandemic.

If you don’t have pictures of money on your briefs, how is a lady supposed to know that you like money? 

But…

If you like money so much, why do you keep trading yours for briefs?  Id like a pair of briefs with a picture of a nice comfy bed, with a bedside table with a nice glass of water on it.  Im about that shit for sure.

So the launch of this company is based purely around Tyshawn's SOTY push? 2 boards and a 2 minute video? No real introduction to a team, no boards available in shops, I don't know, maybe because I think Limosine's roll out was so successful and almost set a blueprint for all new companies in a sense, this just feels like a letdown.

The site is also kinda bare bones. No soft goods, no stickers or merch, no information on the (two) decks other than width (no other dimensions, woodshop, printing details, etc.), no team hype… it all just seems really cheap and lacks a concept other than "Tyshawn has his own skateboards." I was expecting them to lean really hard into the whole "King" thing as in all black men going for theirs are kings. This just seems incomplete.

I remember when I was called a racist for saying he isn't some sort of massively successful entrepreneur and that it wasn't guaranteed his brand would be successful. "Hate to say Atodaso, but Atodaso". Possibly one of the weakest brand launches I can remember. They should have been well prepared for him getting SOTY and had a ton of product to cash in with.

While there's plenty to discuss here, Na-Kel's real full name is Na-Kel Allah Smith. Do with that as you will.

I saw in an interview Tyshawn mentioned he likes reading books about money and success. I have a feeling there was a chapter about branding that grossly over simplified the process of creating a brand. Like the book was under the assumption that it was be some average joe shmuck starting a small business in their hometown. Simple name and instantly readable visual icon that is appealing to the masses. Tyshawn didn't factor in that he has to appeal to a niche market, not the average citizen.

Just seems like there is not real game plan here, sad to see. The 1970s looking KING that was on the website before it launched looked very promising like maybe he'd use 70s NYC imagery or something, but this shit is so fucking bland, yeesh.

The problem is they'd have to drop their team because of brand confusion, like when Diamond started making shoes and most of their hardware team had other shoe sponsors.

I personally think the Hardies logo/branding, while better than this King shit, is still really awful. Especially since it's named after a car/whatever-spotting game, which we called "Slug Bug" when I was a teen (and I've come across variations since then, like Padiddle, one that centered around abandoned shopping carts, etc.). It really is a dumb name that just seems kinda cool because it can double as the Black Power salute. The actual hardware doesn't bother me though and the film canister packaging is nice.

Oh damn I didn't realize it was just Punch Buggy. Padiddle is the one headlight version, at least it was in the 60s.

The elephant in the room is that it's also the name of Carl's Jrs in a bunch of different markets but I always thought that was kinda sick that they just went with it anyway.

Not to dredge up old recepits but Babylon was initially directly involved in the beef. Nak big upping Neighbors was a pivot later in the story.
Lotties can kiss my ass. One of the owners of Babylon is black and the owner of lotties got the nerve to dislike his shop that’s in a black neighborhood after the fact that Babylon tried to be coo with lotties. & note… the owner of lotties it’s note for the skate community, how you gone tell the Lil kids from

Frog and alltimers are bad on purpose "ironically" where as king is bad on purpose because the guys on it have unchecked egos and no idea what they're doing.

Got roasted by my buds when I said this company is gonna be really low effort and fueled mostly by the two big names’ egos and sense of entitlement to skater’s money. They’ve all been really quiet since the graphics come out.

Really surprised they haven’t even started selling t shirts or anything besides the decks. Seems like every no name has a hobby t shirt brand these days. Much bigger margins too.

I checked out the store and really ... this is it?
The much anticipated "KING SKATEBOARDS"?

So many cool things they could have done with this: First board of every rider should be them painted as an old king.

Future ideas:
- Famous old crowns series > painted
- dead pharaos (mummies) series in a "paper clippings" style.

They even could have gone the "hammer" route and print a realistic crown painting on the board, cut a small piece out of the wood and put a real (cheap plastic of course) gemstone in there ...

Yeah he’s super smart!   He’s hiring an art department months AFTER the brand has started.   Let’s stop with the Elon-ification of Tyshawn here.   He’s s good skater, but many many good skaters have blown it trying to run a board brand.  This is just 3D all over again

Id like some straight up corner store/gas station/bodega vibes. like maybe a black & mild wrap but it says black & strong instead? pen & pixel style covers (https://www.penandpixelcovers.com/ ) , some blunt wrap knock offs, dollar store vibes. Interspersed with some gold foil decadent stuff. Lean into the cheesy shit with the tongue firmly planted in the cheek and do it while looking good.

The brand is shit so far but TJ's not stupid. After seeing the negative reception he'll probably try to turn it around by hiring an art department and people who actually know what they're doing. Putting out a sick video will definitely help the brand. Either way, I don't care if they succeed or not. I'm not a fan of any of these dudes and would never support them. Especially Nak.

I think they will just see all the fire emojis on Instagram and think they’re doing everything right and “shaking up the industry.” Critical self-reflection seems a bridge too far.

Not only did he wait til the end of the year he also had footage stacked over the years which yes that’s the old way of doing stuff but he stacked all that footage and waited til the end of the year to drop it to win SOTY. Mark Suciu lost to Milton and filmed 3/4 parts in a year to win. Tyshawn wants to win a third SOTY it’s just gonna be lame to see him film a ton these next few years and then come out with an obvious SOTY push.

The FA comment always seemed bizarre to me. He was the one who didn't go on any of the trips post 2017, and wanted to either film in New York, Los Angeles or SF. FA/Hockey have done a handful of trips in the last few years, there's been every opportunity for him to be involved and engaged but he's always been on his own time. Even when they were in New York for 2 weeks for the store opening, he only appeared on 2 sessions, without a board. I love Tyshawn's skating, but he's created a huge rod for his back, and with this weird soft launch of his company and his comments.

2. putting Na-Kel's middle name "Allah" on the board instead of his last name on Na-Kels board
3. common phrase in arabic: bismillah - commonly translated by non Arabic speakers as "in the name of Allah" (it more accurately means "with the name of Allah") - being juxtaposed onto Na-kels board
4. A crescent moon + star (a popular emblem often linked with Islamic culture) on Na-Kels board

Ya best protect ya neck, son.

Seriously though, @switchfakie, can you explain why you explain why you think the Nation of Gods and Earths a supremicist movement?

"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization. The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe. The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."

Let's see how supremacist it sounds when you substitute black for white

"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that White people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization. The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe. The Nation teaches that the white man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the white race thus being a race of actual gods."

That was taken from the wikipedia article btw

I'd skate that Nak board in gold for sure. I think it's cool. I back black owned businesses. I am about equality for all people.

This will frighten some tho maybe. They will say that King Skateboards is on some kill whitey shit. That they are rasist and or that this is some woke ass bullshit.
Really these people just feel left out and angry. They probably don't realize they are hating and flexing their privilege.. And they got that mindset from the system. A system that is designed to be anti Black.
Most don't even realize they are on some subliminal system shit and are running the program by accident. That's the design and one of the main reasons liberalism is kinda gross.

I know better tho and I remember how uninviting most of skating used to be specifically African Americans.

I'm stoked to see what these kids do next.

I hope it works out for them I really do. I will definitely buy one when I see one.

It wasn't just Wu Tang, Gravediggaz really went hard on that shit (Arm to the Leg Leg Arm to the Head). Yes, I know RZA was part of that too, but not as mastermind/producer.

But yeah, I'm a pretty big Wu fan, but I was 15 when the debut dropped and all of that shit went over my head. I just thought they called each other god because it sounded cool and that "Power U" was poetic nonsense verse. I gradually learned about Five Percenters and how deeply the knowledge was woven into Wu's whole thing.

Regarding this King graphic, the content doesn't bother me in the least, but its execution is aesthetically horrendous and very low-effort. It's an eyesore.

“Five Percenters believe that the original inhabitants of the world were Black (which they refer to as the "Asiatic Blackman" and believe had inhabited the earth for "66 trillion years") who ultimately descended from the Tribe of Shabazz, while the White race are evil "devils" who were created 6,000 years ago on what is today the Greek island of Patmos by a 'rogue bigheaded scientist' named Yakub (the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob) who was of the Meccan branch of the tribe. After the Whites attempted to rise up against their creators, they were exiled to the caves of "West Asia" - what would later be known as Europe. The Yakub origin story is the basis for all Five Percenter racial understanding.[72]”

By what I've seen so far it seems like their whole thing is to just praise black people.

Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe

"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."

"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."
[close]

"Members of the group call themselves Allah's Five Percenters, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people in the world are elites and their agents, who know the truth of existence and opt to keep ninety-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the ninety-five percent."

"The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe."

Conflicting percentages   ;D

Why would you copy and paste and change eighty-five to ninety-five? What a weird route to be a dickhead. The original link does not have ninety-five percent listed. I'm not defending any belief system here, but you took a stretch and I'm calling you out on it.

Black god’s*, thank you for the correction. Honestly, judging from the comments in Nak’s post, quite a few 5 percenter’s aren’t hyped on it either. Honestly, not my favorite for whatever that matters, but also doesn’t trigger me much.

I suppose the point in my last post I attempted to make was: the same ways you might criticize 5 percenters, can be claimed about christians/catholics.

Interesting catch but 95% with 10% chosen is what the Wikipedia page said as of Monday night. I know this because the iffy math was called out on Gifted Hater's twitch stream before any of the 5 percenter stuff was posted in this thread. I assumed the increase to 95% was an olive branch to try interest other cultures in getting involved. This is the problem with Wikipedia as a resource as I suspect it was edited and then edited back to show the correct values.

i don’t know that much about the five percenters but my thoughts

10% are chosen
the five percenters are half of the chosen and want to enlighten people
the other half is trying to keep the rest of the population (95%) ignorant

50% of the 10% (so 5% total) are bad guys, the other 50% are the five percenters (good guys)

the bad guys do not consider the five percenters as the chosen and vice versa, but both groups make up the 10%

maybe the article is just poorly written

idk i might be reaching but it kinda makes sense to me

lol at whoever implied that five percenters are black supremacists

edit: i see that the article was changed but if there are indeed 10% of the bad guys and they want to keep 85% of the population ignorant do they just want to let the five percenters to do their thing either way? i might just be dumb but my theory makes more sense to my small brain

how they view it is 10% is the evil elites of the world, the white devils or fake jews or whatever.  they're the 5% self described righteous black man who's aware of the tricknology and trying to wake up the rest.
i forget which wu or wu affiliate says the line 'i fear for the 85 who ain't got a clue' [meth maybe?] but that's what the line refers to.
the godbodies was a jail/prison gang in nyc based off this religion on the streets. i'm not sure why they went away/lost popularity but grand puba, lord jamar, it was a lot of rappers besides wu who were part of it.
or 'make those devils cower to the caucus mountains' is supposed to be the white devils that yakub made being exiled to russia.

“Five Percenters believe that the original inhabitants of the world were Black (which they refer to as the "Asiatic Blackman" and believe had inhabited the earth for "66 trillion years") who ultimately descended from the Tribe of Shabazz, while the White race are evil "devils" who were created 6,000 years ago on what is today the Greek island of Patmos by a 'rogue bigheaded scientist' named Yakub (the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob) who was of the Meccan branch of the tribe. After the Whites attempted to rise up against their creators, they were exiled to the caves of "West Asia" - what would later be known as Europe. The Yakub origin story is the basis for all Five Percenter racial understanding.[72]”

you aren’t exactly proving them wrong yakubian devil

It was indeed Meth who rapped that verse. It was in Raw Hide from that ODB album.

A few years ago, I witnessed a speech from a 5% member and actually that was really chill and cool. Kinda like going to church on sunday. But the thing is, well yeah the majority of 5%ers have dark skin. They don't view themselves as a religion, there may be a few religious elements here and there, sure.

But they are not pro-black or anti-white. You can even join them if you are Christian, Jewish or whatever else. They don't partake in hate against religion. The color of your skin also doesn't matter to be a part of the 5%ers.

English isn't my first language, but I gave my best to explain this. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings either.

With all that said, I think I am not the target group for this brand and I am not too big on the name. But if the deck is on sale and I like the specs, why not. I mean, the graphic will be gone anyway after a few minutes on the flatrail.

I don't get the hate. From what I've read of the 5% stuff, it's very positive. The RZA has a couple books that go into some of it.

It's not a terrible graphic and if it really means something to Nak, I'm all for it.

By what I've seen so far it seems like their whole thing is to just praise black people.

Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe

"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."

"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."
[close]

"Members of the group call themselves Allah's Five Percenters, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people in the world are elites and their agents, who know the truth of existence and opt to keep ninety-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the ninety-five percent."

"The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe."

Conflicting percentages   ;D
[close]

Why would you copy and paste and change eighty-five to ninety-five? What a weird route to be a dickhead. The original link does not have ninety-five percent listed. I'm not defending any belief system here, but you took a stretch and I'm calling you out on it.
i changed nothing, i guess someone corrected it after i posted it
wiki has its flaws but how dumb would it be to quote it and change it

To be honest, i realized after i posted that later in the article the numbers were different (and correct).
I just found it funny with the Supreme Mathematics reference.
We can't take that seriously, with how historically wrong it is

Islam is the worst religion. Any organized religion is the worst religion. My aunt converted to Islam to marry my uncle. She went from being this awesome independent person to a submissive woman. Since they divorced and she went back to not being Muslim I see huge smiles on her face and she’s having fun again.

Not only did he wait til the end of the year he also had footage stacked over the years which yes that’s the old way of doing stuff but he stacked all that footage and waited til the end of the year to drop it to win SOTY. Mark Suciu lost to Milton and filmed 3/4 parts in a year to win. Tyshawn wants to win a third SOTY it’s just gonna be lame to see him film a ton these next few years and then come out with an obvious SOTY push.
Pretty sure his manager called Louie and told him something along the lines of “You should sit on the rest of your footage till next year…”

Yeah, sure, but it’s probably even less fun being harassed by police, surveilled suspiciously by security in stores, etc. just because you’re black.

I’m a full-on white dude, but I think getting randomly called white devil by a screaming Five Percenter is having it pretty easy, all things considered.

Yakub is said to have been born in Mecca at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied". He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. Yakub acquired the nickname "big head", because of his unusually large head and his arrogance. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel.

This insight led to a plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man.” By the age of 18, he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the original black man contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers, he went to an "isle in the Aegean Sea called Pelan", which Muhammad identifies with Patmos. Once there, he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies, and created a brown race after 200 years.

Yakub died at the age of 150, but his followers carried on his work. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics, the white race was created. The brutal conditions of their creation determined the evil nature of the new race: "by lying to the black mother of the baby, this lie was born into the very nature of the white baby; and, murder for the black people was also born in them—or made by nature a liar and murderer".

The new race traveled to Mecca where they caused so much trouble they were exiled to "West Asia (Europe), and stripped of everything but the language....Once there, they were roped in, to keep them out of Paradise....The soldiers patrolled the border armed with swords, to prevent the devils from crossing." For many centuries they lived a barbaric life, surviving naked in caves and eating raw meat, but eventually they were drawn out of the caves by Moses who "taught them to wear clothes". Moses tried to civilize them, but eventually gave up and blew up 300 of the most troublesome of them with dynamite.


Thanks for creating white people Yakub, very cool.

I liked chocolate more than girl too. But There was no way I wasn't riding Guy boards every chance I had to cop I was doing it.

I had madness around riding the guy boards. There's no doubt in my mind they helped me stay stoked on skating. Eventually I became not stoked because boards lasted like 3-15 days tops. Bad times bad times. The early 00s kinda sucked.

Now I'm on a psstixs 8.5 kick. I gotta keep that shit going as long as possible. I've fallen in love with big square noses. Chinese ollies yo. That's what's keeping me happy rn. And silver and pink glue team graphic. They really got me going. It chipped bottom ply on a wall ride to driveway bomb attempt. 3rd or 4th day. I was bummed AF. Mega bummed.

That’s a women’s cut sweat from 2004. Dude lame. Robert Neal on king would be a plus to primitive tho. Feel bad for saraceno. Glad Nico gets to live his skater influencer dreams tho, idk how that kid has signature colorways for lakai and no footage .

 :o

Idk yo. Love is love. Sex is sex. I should have jumped right in with porn. Get paid for all that shit maybe and without attachments.

I was shy tho and was taught wrong. It took me like a decade before I figured out that I didn't have to be obligated to see someone twice or for years.

Don't continue the chain of dysfunction. Do what you like with any willing consenting adults you like. It's ok.

Wear a hat tho always.

Also it's ok for people to work in pornography. Who are we to say anything against it. Porn stars deserve our support so that they have good working conditions too

Labor is labor.

why the fuck would you want your first time to be with a pornstar
[close]

 :o

Idk yo. Love is love. Sex is sex. I should have jumped right in with porn. Get paid for all that shit maybe and without attachments.

I was shy tho and was taught wrong. It took me like a decade before I figured out that I didn't have to be obligated to see someone twice or for years.

Don't continue the chain of dysfunction. Do what you like with any willing consenting adults you like. It's ok.

Wear a hat tho always.

Also it's ok for people to work in pornography. Who are we to say anything against it. Porn stars deserve our support so that they have good working conditions too

Labor is labor.
[close]
Bro, you're not allowed to say labor. Only people with jobs are allowed to use that word.

Haha. Labour. I do free shit for people. Was doing it all day. Respect the porn stars

As highlighted in Susanne Pagold’s definition of fashion as “to dress like everyone else, but before everyone else,” the difference between conformity and difference is minimal, yet still the crucial element at the heart of fashion. As I appear, I put myself out to be judged by others, as Kaiser points out, and it is this social and emotional gamble that activates fashion as an energy experienced in the body – a “passion.” As Giorgio Agamben notes, “Fashion can be defined as the introduction into time of a peculiar discontinuity that divides it according to its relevance or irrelevance”

Also some queen on Project Runway ran around singing, "Lighten up it's just fashion!"
However, those pants are NOT fashion. They're tragedy.

Well where I grew up it was tradition to lose your virginity behind some bushes after getting shitfaced at the age of 13-14 in a very rural handball stadium.

I can't really figure out, whether it would have been better if we had some sort of social pornstar Security to take care of it.

Personally I lost it to the sound of John Mayer, which I'm not ashamed of, but I really have a hard time figuring out what teenage me was thinking.

To be honest it does sound like a brag. What was the actual point? Kinda just sounds like you want to tell everyone you have a 10 inch flopper. Which I would probably tell everyone too if I had one.

I recently bought extra large condoms by mistake and only found out when my dick was in it, I tried to tell myself I could do it but at that point I had already lost, I got distracted which made it softer therefore worse and I couldn't feel anything.
It reminded me that long ago I lost a condom inside a girl cause she was having a crazy long orgasm so I didn't wanna stop even though I had nutted minutes earlier, it got soft and the condom slipped away. It was weird later having to explain that I have to fish it out.

So no it's not a tenner, 'when soft' was to make that clear

Honestly I don’t see it as such a big deal. It’s just water. It seems like it’s a prank for fun and not anger. It’s not piss or even beer or Coca Cola which would be a bigger mess and smell. We used to see Bam do much worse back in the day and laugh at it. A lot more hijinx has gone down and we either looked the other way or laughed, not sure why TJ splashing water on his friends is so evil. Hopefully they get him back.

My cousin who had the nickname “the rooster” used to light his farts on fire anywhere. One time though it lit his ass hair on fire, burned up his taint enough he stopped doing it.

Honestly I don’t see it as such a big deal. It’s just water. It seems like it’s a prank for fun and not anger. It’s not piss or even beer or Coca Cola which would be a bigger mess and smell. We used to see Bam do much worse back in the day and laugh at it. A lot more hijinx has gone down and we either looked the other way or laughed, not sure why TJ splashing water on his friends is so evil. Hopefully they get him back.
It's the defeated vibe of the squirtee that's the kicker.

It’s wild how averse to pranks y’all seem to be. It’s a dick move, but they’re early 20s guys unsupervised. That’s the shit they do, that’s what my friends did. It’s annoying but it’s not like he’s trying to demoralize or put them in their place. Y’all corny.

As an aside, I was down for the brand until I realized this is all some Hotep shit.

Even without a caption you'd know it's not a hardflip because he catches it with his back foot.

obviously this angle fits this spot best to show the distance, but Tyshawn/ Atiba woud receive a diss if they have used the exact same angle + distance is already known for that spot.
Don’t want to protect Atiba- but can understand the Choice of this angle.

I get that a lot of younger skaters here grew up with the Bieber-esque “Life of Ryan” Sheckler, and so they sort of justifiably ignore or make fun of him, but he’s seriously one of the best and most gnarly skaters of his era. I think the lie he told Phelps didn’t help with people’s opinions of him.

Vertical photos get covers, horizontal ones not so much. When you have shooting covers in mind vertical trumps all. If I'm Atiba shooting Tyshawn my camera will be vertical 99% of the time. Not a huge fan of this one. Tyshawn is blown out and the angle atiba was holding the camera is weird. It honestly looks like Tyshawn caught atiba offguard and atiba swung around and snapped this in the nick of time. That subway shot though was a masterpiece, just wish it was a better looking kickflip.

Yeah i was going to say the same thing about the top graphic lmao. Not too bad of a bottom graphic though. It definitely could have been a lot worse. We all have talked to death about how Tyshawn is full of himself so there isn’t much to add in that regard.

Could someone post the original photo of Jordan that this rips off? I’m having trouble finding it right now.

Its lowkey kinda sad. I feel like in his eyes everything he's doing is "king shit" but in reality its budget as fuck. Good on him though for starting something. I just don't think he's got the mental capacity of someone thats the same age but grew up in more traditional fashion. At least he looks like he's having fun and enjoying life.

Are you surprised? He has undeniable talent but his presentation after his first SOTY has been sloppy. He’s a jock skater who seems like it’s below him to clean up a trick he makes first or second try.
Remember when he didn’t clear the picnic table then went back and toe dragged it on IG?

Yeah, I actually have been surprised by how bad it's all been because I'm talking about the King brand as a product and business, not his actual skating. Don't mistake my surprise for disappointment though, as I was never looking forward to this venture. Talented skaters aren't always the best businessmen and company owners.

Tyshawn can afford (I'm assuming) to hire a designer or consultant for King, but he can't hire someone to skate for him.

I do remember his picnic table redo being just as sloppy as the first make, yeah.

Atiba knows every Laker and Laker fan and he's not shy about letting everyone else know that he knows them. He recently posted a photo of him and Flea paling around at a game. At least it wasn't with Anthony "Child Brides Are My Thing" Kedis though.

No disrespect, but in this day and age, that's super slow and ill-advised if you're gonna offer soft goods with hard goods. Looks pretty amateurish. They should have had all the product ready from the jump, even if that meant delaying the launch of the brand.

I think it's also the bottom line isn't level so it's just kind of dimensionally off. There's more space on the right then the left but the point is (relatively) centered with the bolt holes. If you cock your head to the right and look at it you can see the bottom line issue pretty easily.

My problem with the idea of TJ winning had less to do with holding footage than that his skating is very one dimensional.  He has a higher vertical leap/ ollie / pop than anyone currently it seems.  He does impressive tricks (from flat especially) and broke ground in that, so I totally got the first one.  The second one he utilized this specific set of skills in more places, and it was amazing in the same way, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t think he had after seeing what he had already been capable of, but still, it was impressive and I can understand the win.  For him to get it a third time, I don’t think it’ll be enough to just sit on three more years of the same genre of stuff, but who knows.   

When you think of the other two double skater the years, cole is very well rounded with a way deeper bag of tricks and NBDs (that aren’t just higher longer but combinations of tricks), and d way literally invented a new genre of skating with the whole jumping over ancient walls meant to stop invading armies. 

I don’t know if just compiling more years of the same will get him that third trophy, with his doo doo style, even if he saves five years but who knows. 

Side note it’s funny that I needed to look up who else got it twice because they weren’t egomaniacal dorks about the second one; could you imagine any other of the SOTY recipients treating the award like this jock goofball does?

SOTY isn't based on merit. It's basically an MTV award. Not saying it's not a great honor. But it isn't democratically based on skating.

SOTY isnt a universal thing. Thrasher picks whoever they want that fits their narrative. It holds no value outside of what that brand thinks is cool.

Lots of skaters dont have one that should. lots of skaters that have one already are way more deserving of another than tyshawn.

Daewon has 1. Ishod has 1, Leo has 1, tony hawk has one, but tyshawn has 2??? Tyshawn is Danny Way/ Chris Cole good????

Rodeny mullen doesnt have any. HK, none. Jamie Thomas, tom penny, brandon westgate, louie lopez..... all have none but tyshawn has 2..

Shit means nothing. Its cooler to not have one and be one of the dudes we ask why and how about than to have 2.

Yep. It's also not based on an analysis of tricks done, at what spot, at what level of difficulty, etc. If that was the case then might as well rename it the Dumb Data Skater of the Year.

BTW, I can't wait to see the Zach Saraceno graphic. Should be good for a larf.

I made this argument against holding footy in one of the SOTY threads and people were not very receptive to it.

I still feel like holding footy for SOTY is lame though.
[close]

Especially if you say its lame and wack and then do it anyways like TJ did this last year.
[close]

My problem with the idea of TJ winning had less to do with holding footage than that his skating is very one dimensional.  He has a higher vertical leap/ ollie / pop than anyone currently it seems.  He does impressive tricks (from flat especially) and broke ground in that, so I totally got the first one.  The second one he utilized this specific set of skills in more places, and it was amazing in the same way, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t think he had after seeing what he had already been capable of, but still, it was impressive and I can understand the win.  For him to get it a third time, I don’t think it’ll be enough to just sit on three more years of the same genre of stuff, but who knows.   

When you think of the other two double skater the years, cole is very well rounded with a way deeper bag of tricks and NBDs (that aren’t just higher longer but combinations of tricks), and d way literally invented a new genre of skating with the whole jumping over ancient walls meant to stop invading armies. 

I don’t know if just compiling more years of the same will get him that third trophy, with his doo doo style, even if he saves five years but who knows. 

Side note it’s funny that I needed to look up who else got it twice because they weren’t egomaniacal dorks about the second one; could you imagine any other of the SOTY recipients treating the award like this jock goofball does?

Unfortunately your skating doesn't matter as much as hanging out with the "cool guy" thrasher clique does. I can't tell if I'm watching tyshawns stories on instagram or Thrashers stories anymore. This second SOTY win just confirms its not what you know its WHO you know. Never expected thrasher to hype up a skater that is on some next level jock shit.

I have an idea so that it thematically ties in with what they've got going so far: Saraceno dressed in all black—beret, sunglasses, leather gloves and trenchcoat, combat boots, fatigues—fist in the air, gun in the other hand, and call it ZACH POWER.

It's either that or:

SOTY isn't based on merit. It's basically an MTV award. Not saying it's not a great honor. But it isn't democratically based on skating.
[close]

Yep. It's also not based on an analysis of tricks done, at what spot, at what level of difficulty, etc. If that was the case then might as well rename it the Dumb Data Skater of the Year.

BTW, I can't wait to see the Zach Saraceno graphic. Should be good for a larf.

I’m in the Middle Ages of life where I make decent money and wish to support this brand but there’s nothing there. At they ever going to give Zach a board or is he jus man prince status?  They never sell boards in my size. Id even buy a nakel board if they made it in my dimensions.

Supreme X Hardies coming soon but I don’t have my hopes up for this either. More low effort from both parties like the duck down collab last season and the last how many TNF collabs. Brick sucks too.

It’s not at accident, it’s run by two guys with no aesthetic taste and their hangers on.   Many board brands before have shown that ability to skate ≠ ability to run a board company.

Kids don’t want a strong creative front. They want to cool thing the cool guy is doing.

they may not be able to articulate that a strong creative front is what they want, but that is absolutely what kids want.

all the most popular and successful brands with the youngins have strong visual branding and consistent art direction. FA/Hockey, Polar, Quasi, even the more mainstream brands like Primitive.

branding is really all you have when it comes to board companies. everyone is offering essentially the same product more or less, there's not that much variation in wood or shape. Tyshawn seems to think that this brand will be carried off his reputation as a skateboarder and cultural force alone, which may or may not be true, but if he took even a LITTLE more care with the branding, graphics, and art direction, his reputation would be able to carry it quite a bit further. Instead, he doesn't seem to think it's necessary and as a result, most people are thinking "well, I like Tyshawn, but..."

Seems like the company is as original as his restaurant's name, which is lifted from a famous spice company founded in 2001.

I don’t think they came up with the phrase, though. The restaurant name is pulled from Friday After Next.

Slap some Friday references on a board and center the graphics, I’d be there for that.

I don’t know the specifics but generally I think you simply you own a business which barely or never manages to turn a profit so you never owe taxes, and you use the business to pay for everything so on paper your income is like $26k or something. Basically a smaller scale version of what every billionaire does. There are legal and illegal ways to do it, but I expect someone at the level of Nyjah or Tyshawn has the good lawyers who set this up so it’s all legitimate.

 I assume most pros are paid as independent contractors, which is also how companies get out of providing healthcare. As a contractor you have to take care of your own taxes and a pro who is getting a large untaxed payment from say a shoe company could use the losses on their board company or a restaurant they own to offset the taxes they owe from their income. None of that is illegal, or even frowned upon. If that business somehow becomes profitable, then great you’re making money, if it loses money then it doesn’t really matter you can use that loss to reduce the tax you owe from your work as a contractor.

i could see why Tyshawn would do it, but i wouldnt imagine Nakel would have a reason to lose (what i imagine to be) a generous FA check

but then again, the fact that Tyshawn opened a restaurant - an extremely risky market to enter - also implies that he's willing to take risks

all speculation

How could you possibly get that from an image of the Tutankhamun burial mask?

Graphic 1: image of Mansa Musa, the wealthiest (black) man to ever exist
Graphic 2: reference to Kobe Bryant who also had two medals (I don't know enough about basketball to fully understand this graphic)
Nakel's graphic: reference to 5% nation which was a black nationalist movement

and then...
Graphic 3: image of Tutankhamen. It is very common for people influenced by afrocentrism to believe that ancient Egypt was ruled and populated by black people.

Pretty easy to come to that conclusion assuming that King skateboards is a pro-black brand

When I noted that just because TJ is a good skater with a restaurant doesn't mean he has the design and marketing chops to run a skate brand I was told I was a racist, but it fucking turns out to be true so far.

The Midas graphic is kinda sick and reminds me of the Mansa musa graphic but holy Christ are the rest of them all over the place. Also the MLK on a board has been done to death already let’s get Hank Hill on there or something

Mlk board is sick as long as some of the money goes to a good charity or something. If not, then using his image to advertise is extra wack.

I'm loving this karen energy, all artistic usage should be contingent upon the source of inspiration getting a percentage. DGK is about to be out of business

The Supreme x Hardies collab gave a glimpse into what a company owned by Tyshawn could be if there was an actual art department. I’m under the impression tyshawn isn’t keen on aesthetics judging by his fits too. Kinda just wears an amalgamation of whatever is new from Supreme. Other riders seem to know how to put a twist on the gear. I’m sort of surprised he hasn’t had an adidas clothing line or something either. Blodney seems to have a vision for example.

Man these graphics suck. Could imagine this company being owned by a history professor searching Jstor for high quality king images during research for a book and printing out decks on CCS

Tyshawn has a high end suv in a city known for it public transport , a restaurant and a gang of expensive dogs. I think he can afford a couple grand on some art.

this brand is literally using public domain art and by the looks of it like zero overhead . They’re spending almost zero money to even have a brand, that’s not low budget that’s just being cheap.

King skateboards is essentially a drop shipping brand.

well, that's exactly why it's half assed. tyshawn has the funds to renovate houses and open a restaurant and buy nice cars, i have a very hard time imagining he doesn't have the money to put into this brand as much as he doesn't think he needs to put the money into the brand (not to mention he has no real ideas or vision for this brand on a grand scale)

The decks I’ve seen in shops look good, especially the King of Pop one.

Violet, FA, Hockey, and even Quasi follow the same formula art wise. Even Frog gets love and we’ve all seen their graphics…

Renovating houses isn’t cheap, especially properties in New York.

The tax man gets most of your gross revenue, double or triple that in NY.

A skateboard company doesn’t bring in much in terms of hardgoods, though the starting costs are low. Board sponsors never paid much. How King scales in terms of softgoods is TBD.

Violet, FA, Hockey, and even Quasi follow the same formula art wise. Even Frog gets love and we’ve all seen their graphics…

Renovating houses isn’t cheap, especially properties in New York.

The tax man gets most of your gross revenue, double or triple that in NY.

A skateboard company doesn’t bring in much in terms of hardgoods, though the starting costs are low. Board sponsors never paid much. How King scales in terms of softgoods is TBD.

What?

Are you compus mentis?

well, that's exactly why it's half assed. tyshawn has the funds to renovate houses and open a restaurant and buy nice cars, i have a very hard time imagining he doesn't have the money to put into this brand as much as he doesn't think he needs to put the money into the brand (not to mention he has no real ideas or vision for this brand on a grand scale)

Do we really think that there are no talented, eager young graphic designers in New York who could put some kind of direction into King's product for a low price and the chance to work with a two-time SOTY winner and fixture of adidas? That his only option is to pull images from Wikipedia?

Personally I'm not up to date with Tyshawns trademarks, that being said idc when he registered for trademarks bricks first ad was in August or September last year and King was announced in October for the general. Taking into account Thrasher prints mags like a month or 2 early let's say June to give them benefit of the doubt. That's still only 4-5 Months between launching the 2 brands.

Yeah not gonna leave this here like this... A "sham" is just not true. "Most of the kids" is also not true.
The film is the story of two victims, their view point. It is important to have this documented against an attacker (MJ) who spent his live building a (mostly) positive persona worldwide. And especially high profile predators will have plenty of people at hand to back their story – they even talk about this in the film, regarding Macaulay Culkin. The whole "it didn't happen to me so it can't be true"-point is just not valid. The biggest criticism is about Wade Robsons prior statements in support of MJ. But victims of systemic abuse cant choose when they get around to acknowledge their abuse or the scale of it. And the film does a pretty good job in explaining why – also in regards to other cases.

Sorry for derailing this thread.
Nak and TJ really "pushing skating" and "bulding something unique" here.

Haven’t checked in on the brand for months, and they have got to get an art director because those graphics give off Corner Store That Sells Looney Toons As Mobsters tees vibes. Like I expect the dudes who used to sell me reggie but upgraded to oxys to have these as wall boards.

Never seen such bad pixelated graphics on a board before. It does not feel like a 85€ worth board. They need a graphic designer asap.

Very weak first drop. Graphics are subpar for someone of his caliber and style. With all of the talented graphic designers in skating, and at Adidas he dropped the ball by not hiring one of them.

MJ on a board? Only works when he’s with ET.

But at the end of the day, as long as he and his crew are hyped on them that’s all that matters. I’m sure they will sell.

I noticed that too...seeing it all over the place. Everybody's hoping it becomes the next "thing" is my guess. Even though I think the brand is garbage, there's a part of me hoping it's wildly successful just to serve as yet another reminder that I'm fucking clueless about popular culture anymore.

Tyshawn is providing commentary on the industry about something that we've known for a long time, that your board sponsor doesnt matter all the much anymore.  He is doing this by using bad graphics to make his point.  To make money and survive in this industry, you need to have a pro shoe, or some auxiliary sponsor like ASOC/Monster/Red Bull.

As a Skateshop buyer I take a few things into consideration before bringing in a new brand.
King has a two time soty, lots of fans from FA(boards seem to be the same shapes).
Lots of launches are kind of soft where the people involved with the brand maybe under estimate how tough it is to create an aesthetic that fits what they are doing.
If you are into skating and run a shop and have a chance to carry the newest thing sometimes you got to take a chance and hope it sells well.
I remember when plan b first re launched and I made sure to have it and no one cared. A year or so later it was all over zumiez and people asked for it often.
In todays ultra fast market when the kids ask you for the newest and you don’t have it they just buy online. I’m trying to keep them in the habit of shopping us for the newest. If you lose them for a moment they just switch to online.

Saw the King decks at Labor and they look great in person. The art direction is already solid. They don’t need Wiley.

The shapes are great too. FA shapes.

Not saying the NEED Wiley, just saying that take would at least be a direction instead of google image search “black person + king” like they have done so far

I mean, I guess if someone saw the Nakel smoker graphic that looks like a Limo board they’d think King needed Wiley. 😂

Jeremy Wray did something over a Porsche once.   Not sure if there was a bump or not or two separate tricks.   Just remember it being in a schoolyard.     Don’t think that detracts from this at all

Oh that’s right.   Def did a fs 360 then, or am I just making leap bc it’s Wray…could have sworn he did an Ollie on flat afterwards.

Mike Carroll back 180s a car off flat from Thrasher's "911 Emergency" video from 1995. (Edit: as Kombuch-A-Holic pointed out below me, the back 180 is at 9:57)  I believe this occurred at a contest in San Jose in 1994, as Marc Johnson mentioned it in this interview: https://sidewalkmag.com/skateboard-news/20-years-girlchocolate-interviews-marc-johnson.html . It's worth noting that he's wearing the same windbreaker from his Bay Blocks lines in FTC "Penal Code 100A." Dope Ice T freestyle afterwards.

People on here acting like being directly under Tyshawn's wing isn't the best possible place for Zach Saraceno to be... Despite having brooms thrown at him and shit I'd day he's probably psyched to be where he's at. A full part from Zach with similar hype / editing as Tyshawns parts from last year would be fucked, hopefully they're stacking clips. Can't wait to see TJ backside flip over that bench from his last cover.

Yep. Even if it was an exaggeration, twice as many graphics in 7+ years would be shockingly low. This isn't the 80's. That said, would you rather have one Dillbert/FA graphic or multiple King graphics? Something to be said about quality over quantity. Regardless, I can fully understand why he left FA. I also think he has a point about pro skaters deserving to be paid more.

Besides that, I thought the interviewers were annoyingly awkward (it's hard to hear these two grown white/Jewish dudes saying "breh", "fyah", using AAVE, etc.) and many of the questions were borderline moronic. I know they're trying to be funny, but proposing he "bomb the Statue of Liberty's titties like the hills of San Francisco" was complete dum dum territory. Also, them saying several times that Tyshawn is humble was unintentionally hilarious.

So I think we can ascertain from this celibacy, whilst still bullying, is an illustration of pent up sexual need in Tyshawn from Zach. Tyshawn desperately wants to hold Zach but can’t due to his humble discipline. Instead he shoves his crotch in Zach’s face, mirroring machismo, but actually needing Zach’s soft white lips to take Tyshawn away from the pain of being an underpaid pro skater. The spray of the bottle is actually a metaphorical ejaculation that Tyshawn so desperately needs but can’t and won’t ask for from Zach. He resents the love he feels for Zach and turns to modes of hatred and oppression.

Poor Tyshawn. It’s always the bully who is in the most pain.

Ahhh. So that's why he takes Zach shopping, keeps him decked out in Supreme swag and bedazzled accoutrements, let's him sit in his expensive cars, etc. like a good sugar daddy would?

Dude, you also practice. Skating the streets is practice. You don’t land everything first try.

I understand what you mean but I also see where he’s coming from. Maybe he didn’t really explain it the best but you gotta realize what me means by saying that. He’s not at a TF practicing the same line 100 times in a row. At the skatepark kickflip backlipping the same rail over and over. He just goes out and skates different street spots mostly. Rarely see footage of Tyshawn at a skatepark. Doing a line in NYC traffic and front boards a tractor. I don’t think he “practiced” that.

That was insane! He made a rare, somewhat illegal trick look perfect. That’s Gailea Momolu’s game, he owns the nollie bs everything club for eternity, I’m positive he’ll let Tyshawn in with that one.

I can’t believe this went straight to instagram! I guess we can expect to receive an evolved, no fillers, maybe his best part upcoming.

The young kid looks like he’s wearing a Tap Out sweatshirt and riding a Foundation logo board.

How is Nak looking solid. Dude did  one abd from 30 years ago and then was immediately made to look like a bitch at the same spot by a team mate . Actually that’s naks mo so you right. Same thing with blessed , he does pop shuv a set and kb immediately big spins it . Nak is a charity case for Tyshawn

Finally King decks in Japanese shops but the price is insane. You can buy two top tier decks for this price. I really like this graphic but can’t justify the price.

He crossed a line by having children over to sleep in his bed at the very, very least. I've seen compelling arguments on both sides but the fact of the matter is he invited these allegations with inappropriate behavior whether they're true or not.

  Most get away with it unfortunately. He was an extremely gifted artist but that dude was a complete fucking creep. King needs to hire an art director.
  Anyways, that was a nice little edit. It’s good to see Tyshawn and Nak skating.

seems like the general consensus so far is that Banks clips are "skatepark clips" now that it's officially sanctioned to skate there (and therefore do not belong in legit videos) however silly that might be. i'd guess that's probably why it went straight to IG

just two of the best skaters in NYC - new spots don't show up out of thin air so obviously there will be overlap.

i doubt there is beef, mutually just not on each others radar.

2 different styles - tyshawn goes big on the iconic ones and cyrus is deep in the boroughs to find stuff that isn't as recognizable. saw cyrus and limo skating a gap to curb over a tree in my neighborhood the other day.

If you are doing a poll on social media the answer will probably be Tyshawn. If you did the poll here the answer will be Fred Gall.

Does Tyshawn have beef with Cyrus or something? They seem to always be neck and neck at some of the gnarly NY street spots
[close]

Tyshawn seems like the kind of guy to hate everyone at least a little bit
[close]

That would be like Lebron beefing with Austin Reaves.
[close]

just two of the best skaters in NYC - new spots don't show up out of thin air so obviously there will be overlap.

i doubt there is beef, mutually just not on each others radar.

2 different styles - tyshawn goes big on the iconic ones and cyrus is deep in the boroughs to find stuff that isn't as recognizable. saw cyrus and limo skating a gap to curb over a tree in my neighborhood the other day.
[close]


I feel like Cyrus wouldn’t cool guy me. Tyshawn cool guys his own team


Tyshawn seems like he has that early 2000’s Mike Carroll thing where his default is hella grumpy but he really respects people who aren’t intimidated by him.

Based on interviews Cyrus probably thinks less of himself than Tyshawn does, but also more likely to draw his self worth from where he ranks as a skateboarder.

I can see Cyrus doing more deliberate cool guying after a really long self-righteous vibe check, whereas Tyshawn would just be a dick to you for an hour because you accidentally snaked him.

My pleasure. Man to Man With Dean Learner is more or less the second series of Garth Maregnhi’s DARKPLACE, but it’s a chat show spoof with Matthew Holness playing each episode’s guest. Try to track it down. Toast of London (Matt Berry) is a great one from the past decade too.

Nice rec. I’ve been a huge Black Adder fan since I was a teen, especially the first and fourth series. One of the all-time greats. Also love other “oldies” like Absolutely Fabulous, The Young Ones, Are
You Being Served?, Fawlty Towers, Steptoe and Son, etc.

Hot take but the IT Crowd is just Friends for British people. Laugh track is atrocious

Very hot take. Chris Morris and Matt Berry’s bosses (Denholm and Douglas Reynholm), plus Richard Ayoade (Maurice Moss), fully elevate The IT Crowd above the laugh track, but I kinda see what you’re saying. Friends is fucking garbage though. Seinfeld would be closer, but I don’t think an appropriate American counterpart really exists. We’re not silly enough over here).

BTW, Graham Linehan is also responsible for The IT Crowd. Speaking of…

Yeah. Definitely revealed himself to be an intolerant kook, but I still really like Father Ted, The IT Crowd, etc. and considering he had a hand in 75% of the 90s/00s shows I listed, I don’t have a problem still watching and loving his work. You have to admit that the “GAY the Musical” episode is still pretty hilarious, even if no one would dare make that today. I initially thought it was making fun of homophobes, but now I’m not so sure. 😬

That was insane! He made a rare, somewhat illegal trick look perfect. That’s Gailea Momolu’s game, he owns the nollie bs everything club for eternity, I’m positive he’ll let Tyshawn in with that one.

I can’t believe this went straight to instagram! I guess we can expect to receive an evolved, no fillers, maybe his best part upcoming.

Gailea giving props in the comments too 🤝 also Ryan Garshell commented “tell me when have you seen TJ do this trick before I’ll wait” and someone commented Away Days with a time stamp and his 2016 run and gun part haha I mean sick trick but nothing groundbreaking like he was alluding to.

I don't think I've seen TJ do a Manny trick. That's always kinda been my shit. Im huge supporter of flat gaps.

It's kinda neck and neck on terrain. We left with style vs raw power.

I love both. Cyrus is a SLAP patron saint though. TJ is too mainstream and young to be this soon I think.

Some people still seem to think that this is 2005, and a new brand is going to drop with stack roster, a full length DVD, articles in multiple mags, etc. That era is over, and well paid pros are going to be stashing their money behind on-paper unprofitable LLCs the same way that other rich people do.

What's funny/sad is Disorder actually has some type of presence in shops and stores, also with tech decks and places like Zumiez too, for good or bad. Shit idk if anyone's actually buying the decks or merch but at least the brand is out there. I haven't seen a ad or post from Kong in ages.

I can say that I have seen a decent amount of Disorder boards in the wild, nothing crazy. On the other hand, I have seen zero King boards.

I really liked the middle skool vid but I felt like with Vincent gone it just didn’t hit the same. He was the type of dude to put 120% into every clip. The rest of the guys are decent skaters but not close to pro level. I think they were hoping jr would take the spot of Vincent to carry the brand. They are putting out scooter videos now ffs so I think safe to say they are done

Yeah it seemed like his heart was in the right place wanting to set his mom up with a place, but what where their restaurant owning bone fides?  When people who know a business tell you there are slim margins and it’s difficult, unless it’s Burnett, believe them.

The stock market indexes have gone up 70% since he started that and even gold is up 30%.  His mom coulda been off her feet chilling, and they’d be way up easily instead of way down.

No doubt Covid was hard on restaurants.  I’m sure his mom worked super fucking hard too, they lasted 5 years, no small feat Covid or not.

I was just saying from strictly a money perspective, it was always a bad move if it’s not something that you know a lot about.  I’m afraid that he might find a similar situation in owning a skateboarding brand, you be better off having business education or experience than to be currently actively at the top of your skateboarding career to run a successful brand.

Sure there are success stories, but way more failed brands and similarly to a restaurant, there is no “moat” and a relatively no barrier to entry for competitors in a highly saturated market.

Tyshawn should let someone else invest his earnings unless he has some actual business credentials or acumen that were not privy to.

This talk of him as a entrepreneur in the past, was as I said, premature and unfounded.

We all know Taylor Swift crossed 1 billion this year and how much Elon is down on his ill advised twitter purchase.

I feel bad for the Tyshawn, but he should listen to someone he pays to “pocket watch” and not his ego. there’s a long list of athletes that could have used lots of people criticizing their investments before the money dried up.

Is it “weird” to see someone making dumb money moves and wish them luck?  That’s weird to me.

with that arrogance he display, he is bound to pay for his stupidity. I remember him bitching over skaters not making as much as NBA players. They are shown on worldwide tv daily, with large audience and sponsors. that will never happen to skateboarding (thank God for that).

Being being black doesn't exempt us from criticism. The board company is corny, it is valid to point out when high-profile sponsors support someone whose skills don't align with that of their peers, and critiquing a pro skater whose output is noticeably lower than average is reasonable. Could some of this criticism be motivated by racism? Certainly. However, most of the criticism here seems to be based on observable weaknesses, in my view. Claiming racism as the main factor in situations like this without sufficient reason is the type of shit that weakens our legitimate calls for justice in the wider society.

No board in the B2B for Hockey for next drop......I Am pretty sure Hockey does 4 drops a season, and the pros always have boards (Not like FA)....plus he was on the King trip to Cayman Islands....i guess Nak helped him out at the start, but still, be your own man fool...he peaked when he got introduced in hockey 3.


Tyshawns restauraunt has gone out of business, and Kings last drop of product was 6 months ago lol

At least Disorder has a website full of product you can purchase and also seem to be more active in general https://www.instagram.com/disorder/

Damn didn’t realize the restaurant went out of business already.

A fool and his money as they say, still sucks though.

I remember just last year when people here were yelling at me about what a good business man he was because he opened that among other things.

Maybe failing a restaurant with his mom working at it was a genius tax write off right? 4D chess and what not.

i know a guy who is a financial advisor to rich people. he tells every client to NEVER open or invest in a restaurant because the failure rate is astronomical.

Yeah it’s classic athlete blowing money stuff.  Investing in your friend’s restaurant, investing in their clothing line, basically any start up with a person you know.   Hell, Robert DeNiro’s ass was on the line during the pandemic bc of all his restaurant investments


The fact that customers are socially obligated to pay part of the staff’s wages because a restaurant can’t even afford to pay them minimum wage tells you all you need to know about the margins they’re running

Deniro owns nobu , I feel like that’s a lot different than some carribean restaurant in the Bronx . As long as rappers and white girls exist deniro is fine , I mean it’s only the most famous  sushi chain on the planet .

If Tyshawn had Gino’s push this would be a different discussion.

Seriously though, comparing skate mental and king is apples and oranges.  Skate mental is part of girl skateboards, right?  Then there is brad being later in his career, more focused on the brand then his career at that point and having clever ideas for art direction and such.  Even so, I’ve seen plenty of criticism over the years of skate mental.

In regards to kader and geno, ironically it’s pretty similar.  People definitely criticized Gino when his production was low, and criticized his career choices.

I personally was more annoyed by the people idiotically saying he was basically a business guru and making smart moves, when that was pretty obviously not the case.

Well by my logic you are not racist since you dont care about swim either. Its ok to not like or care about something new. Just rethink why you shit talk about one thing while something comparable to that is really ok to you and never the attraction of shit talks.

Bam Margera and Biebel had bigger threads than both of these.

The idea that this thread has racism in it probably comes from the logic that running a garbage brand with bad graphics where his friends say a bunch of dumb shit isn’t really worth a 60 page discussion. It’s literally the same thing Nick Trapasso did.

I think TyShawn is sick but he’s not one of my favorites. I wish he skated a wider variety of obstacles tbh. Thing is I often find myself defending him on Slap because I totally see the dog whistles some of the Pals throw out. At worse TyShawn is materialistic and a bit smug, but people put extras on him like he’s some kind of “corporate thug” swindler. It’s really not that serious.

Same with Beatrice. Although I think her criticism is a lot more fair because of her lack of skill, some of y’all are acting as if you’ve never seen an unqualified person get a job before. Your hatred of her helps drive her social media engagement literally making Beatrice one of the more popular female pros…which is the opposite of your fucking goals which is for her to just fade away. Dumbasses, but whatever lol.

Arguing that over 50 pages of discussion on a skater's brand failure is too much discounts the importance of Tyshawn and it seems strange to ignore that fact and dive straight into implying racist intent. A lengthy back in forth would seem normal to me for someone of his significance.

If you’re referring to me saying “a fool and his money…” it’s a saying, and everyone’s been that type of fool at some point.  Hopefully he learns something from the experience. 

It’s a pretty common thing for a gifted athlete to be overconfident in other ventures, outside of where their physical gifts stop being an asset (Jereme Rogers and rapping anyone?)  In many cases, they’ve worked at one thing, very hard and with laser focus and assume that they must have just worked harder and with more specific dedication than others, overlooking the physical advantages they had in becoming exceptional.  Unfortunately, that same singleminded focus also means they sometimes skipped some of the experiences people have had that will be competing with them in these other fields (say going to college for business or accounting, or spending everyday in a family restaurant instead of practicing athletics.)

As I said before, I feel bad for him.  Not as bad as I feel for the restaurants that have no second career to fall back on though.  He’s young and gets interviewed about being an entrepreneur consistently, it becomes a self fulfilling narrative that he’s going to buy into, but that’s not going to stop the real world from demanding he knows what he’s doing if he wants to compete off the board.

Sucui didn’t open a wine bar, and despite the margins being better, there being less spoilage, and easier quality control, he very well might have been criticized for being out of his depth.

Yeah - I remember there were Suciu threads around Virso that were way longer than this one with just as much hate. I’m not saying it’s unfair to criticize Tyshawn’s skating or King.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the situation, but it seems like Tyshawn helped open a Jamaican restaurant for his family to operate in his home neighborhood. Seems like a worthwhile pursuit regardless of the return. So I do think it’s irrelevant to point it out in this discussion.

Using Suciu as a hypothetical was stupid but he does seem like one to open a natural wine bar to further gentrify a neighborhood.

Tyshawn started making money and decides to open a restaurant in his home neighborhood with his mother, which closed in due to COVID. Sounds like he reinvested in his community and family and was met with unforeseen circumstances. Making him seem like a fool for it is a little fucked.

If Sucui started a natural wine bar in Cupertino when he got his Adidas shoe check and it shuttered due to COVID, it wouldn’t be discussed the same way.

If you’re referring to me saying “a fool and his money…” it’s a saying, and everyone’s been that type of fool at some point.  Hopefully he learns something from the experience. 

It’s a pretty common thing for a gifted athlete to be overconfident in other ventures, outside of where their physical gifts stop being an asset (Jereme Rogers and rapping anyone?)  In many cases, they’ve worked at one thing, very hard and with laser focus and assume that they must have just worked harder and with more specific dedication than others, overlooking the physical advantages they had in becoming exceptional.  Unfortunately, that same singleminded focus also means they sometimes skipped some of the experiences people have had that will be competing with them in these other fields (say going to college for business or accounting, or spending everyday in a family restaurant instead of practicing athletics.)

As I said before, I feel bad for him.  Not as bad as I feel for the restaurants that have no second career to fall back on though.  He’s young and gets interviewed about being an entrepreneur consistently, it becomes a self fulfilling narrative that he’s going to buy into, but that’s not going to stop the real world from demanding he knows what he’s doing if he wants to compete off the board.

Sucui didn’t open a wine bar, and despite the margins being better, there being less spoilage, and easier quality control, he very well might have been criticized for being out of his depth.
Okay Mikey. Tell Tyshawn to open wine bar.

2nded. while i don't think the idea that young black skaters are subject to excess scrutiny is totally baseless, that suciu hypothetical is the worst contrast example possible.

if the dude set up a wine bar that turned out to be modestly viable, there'd be at least 100 pages of people calling him a bougie dickhead. if it was a failure, the ensuing onslaught of schadenfreude and mockery would most assuredly melt the server.

I'd like King to be successful because I'd rather see some young ones with long careers ahead starting and succeeding with a board brand vs Strobeck cashing in (and claiming it's for the kids) or another really old dude focused brand that puts out more generic BBS shapes with meh art (not that I love King's either). Hopefully they give whomever came over from the IC implosion a good home and platform.

I don't know what's relevant to younger skaters anymore so I err on the side of Tyshawn likely being more in tune. It's not like his pro shoe is doing poorly or he isn't known for his work ethic and standout skating. Let's compare to who the PD were at this stage in their lives.

Lots of small businesses and restaurants fail. Let's not act like it's always a bad thing. Failure is celebrated in many business circles (especially tech) and the kid has plenty of time to learn from those situations and adapt.

It's alright to say black people, that's what we call ourselves, not POC. Moreover, the folks you are talking about all have lucrative endorsement deals for skating, some without doing much of it, and are living their best lives. Not sure who is dunking on who in this scenario.

I have only seen Tyshawn and nak boards so far so effectively yes… but on the flip side, I can’t imagine any of the ic royalty checks Were that fat anyway so it was probably easy for Tyshawn to buy him at an increased salary with plan to release his board in x drops with a part and ad etc. who knows if this will ever happen though


On one hand if you think about it you only make like $5 a board being on FA or whatever, so you only have to sell a fraction of the boards to make the same money. But there is a lot more work involved rallying all the shit you need to make that happen. If he hires someone better to direct his company he could get distribution etc and he has the potential in the future to make a lot of money. But right now it does feel pretty small time.

True, I did understand what you were getting at, but chose to ignore it  for what should be obvious reasons. Thinking I was pretending not to was likely some projection on your part.

This is terrible news.
Why is he doing this to us?.

I wish I had an extra set of 5.2s in low and high. I'd fuckin try to get him on v2020 with us but I can't even afford a loose cigarette at the moment.

Venture is Indy x4.

Everyone who tried my 6.1s has said THAT'S A VENTURE?!?! Feels like an old Indy from the late 90s.

I said booooooooom! You fuckin nailed it. That's it. I love them because they feel classic af. And look so sexy. The fuckin grind is perfect too.

I never get wheel bite but my trucks are beyond loose.

I'm kinda surprised that Ishod isn't on our team. Cuz it seems to me he's going above and beyond to make his thunder perform like a Venture.

I used to do the same shit. Hard NHS top as a bottom with a shaved nah top. I only did it in the front truck tho.

True the board probably sucked. Shitty wheels and wood I’m sure so it is gnarly no doubt.

What sucks is all the other bullshit. Like how he holds the board for the camera and saunters for a bit.  If you consider this success sure then good for him. LV is pretty low as far as taste goes. Suburban wine moms in hokas love LV. Fuck dude Mumford and sons sucks too lol

...because you hate to see successful young black men

Fuck outta here with that racist shit. such a stupid fuckin argument people with brainrot throw around.

white black brown yellow red purple that whole fit was goofy as fuck and absolutely embarrassing. If he isn't getting 6 figures or more for being seen in public in that clown shit then that's whack. They have the money to pay him and he deserves to be getting PAID and I mean PAIDDDD from LV. I don't think people understand how much money these companies throw around in advertising. Usher just got 20 mil from LV for a single photoshoot.

Yes-- skating in timbs also an official east coast passtime.  I've had friends brag to me about the lowest scraped heel flips in timbs you can possibly imagine.  Must be very confusing for the sunny weather only folks.  Especially with the weather in NYC ha.

First off, IG is a huge way to promote. Most non-skaters and/or beginners are looking to IG/YouTube/TikTok for clips. They don't look forward to videos like people who have been skating for a bit look forward to videos.

Also, the biggest thing for Disorder is name recognition — Nyjah. He's kinda like this gen's Tony Hawk/Ryan Scheckler. In all the contests, big sponsors, etc.

My nephew works at Zumiez (yes, that place) and first time board buyers immediately want a Disorder because they know Nyjah from Olympics, SLS, etc. Boards are out as soon as they come in.

While Tyshawn and Nak are big, they're big names in the skate community and don't have quite the same pull as Nyjah.

First of all - we have praised Tom Penny for skating in Timbs.
So Tyshawn nollie heelfliping that rail in boots - is heavy stuff.
Concerning that fit - timbs / black jeans/ collage jacket - it’s pretty basic - and not only for the Bronx - saw globally all kind of people rock that style.
The only strange thing - it is completely LV so the board is 5K the timbs 1,5K and the jacket is 5k more. If Tyshawn isn’t getting paid properly for that content  and buys that stuff he woud be stupid.
But not more stupid then all the other consumers who spend 88billiion for overpriced rip off designs from LV

The only problem I really have with that clip is the bottom veneer is way too yellow.

Unless it's a screened board. That would be sick to smear around

Also that's trick of the year so far.

Into cobblestone. That's the best shit and the worst shit.

Fucking impossible trick on a really fucked up spot. Extremely hard flex overall. Tyshawn is one of the very few who can make skating in luxery apparel look justified. Dylan being the only other that comes to mind.

He literally looks like a dude from the Bronx. Go to NYC and those are the fits you’d see from the locals if you go to like Lennox ledges.

My exact thought-- truthfully I didn't notice what he was wearing aside from the timbs (which I've seen many of my friends attempt to skate in following Tom Penny). The reactions on here are bizarre.  I'm more likely to see skaters in that outfit then the west coast cut off black pants greaser thing lol.  I'd rock the LV Timbs if I could skate them like him. Local old man bronx kook out ha.

Someone mentioned penny. Penny would skate vert ramps in Tims. Thats fucked up as well.

Nobody said anything about stephen lawyer and his whole poods park era where he was doing crazy shit on the rail in tims while covering his eyes with his hands. Kickflip front feebles and shit

If he isn't getting LV money but repping them that hard then yes, that is some kooky shit. Dude is all about his image and getting that bread, which is an annoying way to be in my opinion.

It's show flyer.

I bet Nak would be a good singer for a hc punk band. He's got a cool sounding voice.

Skating an music has always been tough to pull off.

I think it's because skating and guitars almost cancel each other out through injury.

I spent most of my life trying to train myself to not put my hands down when I fall. I try to basically wrap my arms around my head if I can see it coming.
