Do people seriously expect TJ to become SOTY because of one nollie flip?

“gangsta look” = how black men look to white men who don't know black men.

Fuck I forgot I was on an american forum. And nope, no talking about that at all.

Talking about giving shit to the police X security (and nope, ain't a cop lover, but when it's Highlighted that much in edits... It clearly trying to communicate a certain image) or the throwing punches in the air and stuff like that. It's not a clothes statement (wich I admit may not have been clear) but an attitude statement.

Your argument hold's no weight because fuck all cops.

[close]

yeah being French I obsiously heavely fuck with cops n authority 

There is a gap between fucking police and putting it in an edit. We are burning the country down right now, doesn't mean every parisian skate video maker is about to include some guy fucking up some police. IT'S AN IMAGE THEY WANT TO GIVE TO A CERTAIN SKATER/Edit. That's all. No need to go further, I understand the confusion of my first statement, but I made it clear by now.

No, I still don't see why TJ is the bad guy for dodging security to do a trick, but GX1000 can knock over security guards with impunity. Please explain the difference.

[Stoopid]

wHo Do yOu PiCk?!

hahahah well played

(while this clearly ridiculous, you can't deny skaters can be categorized under different sub categories and groups because of music choice in parts, clothes, terrrain and trick selection.... but it's not a versus.)

Did I talk about GX1000 ? Because it's quite comparable. It's quite raw, close to skateboarding roots. Maybe the actual difference is that GX1000 knocks out the securtiy back lipping, while TJ only talks and air jabs wich feels fake, staged, played. You can't deny a dude back lipping making the security dude do a triple backflip is golden footage, that HAS to be included. Fisheye shots of TJ throwing punches in previous Supreme edit for example ARE ONLY HERE FOR COMMUNICATION PURPOSE ONLY.

On the other end, if we are talking about the switch bs heel and switch tre , it was so fucked up that he could stayed focus on such massive tricks while having to deal with security (In a cocky way sure, but I mean security ain't the nicest persons you have to deal with).

In the end, I was only comparing TJ and Evan smith which both were both strong contender, only pointing out that TJ fits the 15-25 (you know, the age of the majority of skateboarders) 2018 skater needs a lot more. Because he looks cool, but there is nothing bad with that. Just in term of pure skating maybe Evan smith was a bit more diverse, All terrain and "fun" looking guy.

And never said he was a bad guy, or that was bad. Just looks kind of cocky, and from what I witnessed in Paris, he definetly ain't the nicest human, sorry to dissapoint. But he is a up there in skate skill n that blessed part was fucked.

Well fuck that. Skaters should hate cops. They should also hate scooters, people who wax coping and now,unfortunately Jason Jesse.

Lol man maybe you’re just getting old. I had one moment while watching TJ in Blessed where I thought he was behaving badly and then I stopped myself and laughed because I’m just thinking like a boring responsible 30 year old and I was just like him (minus the talent, focus, sobriety, owning a restaurant etc) at his age. Beefing with security trying to stop you from skating is offensive now? That’s standard skate video shit. Did yall cry during the Baker videos back in the day?

Kadow and Alex Olsen seem like way bigger fuckheads to me because they were being dicks to pedestrians in Supreme videos which I don’t like. But calling TJ “gangsta” is why we’re looking at you suspect...

[VHS ERA]

Also seems like there’s 2 versions of TJ. I’ve met him and he was super chill and nice, and in most interviews he seems like a good kid who is damn near shy.

Sometimes when he’s on the board in the zone he can seem cocky I guess but it doesn’t seem that bad to me, whatever he can back it up. Just seems like he’s hype to get tricks and is having fun.

I felt like TJ was a bit too.

Baker dudes got us all hyped, because of course we were younger but didn't gave a fuck, here we're talking about fashionistas who are on the tip of the iceberg of (god please kill me) skate-fashion.

I dunno, it seems forced and as I said before trying to appeal to "200$ a t-shirt" kids rather than at skaters.

But that's my shitty opinion.

And yeah I don't wanna see skateboarding all vanilly but that seems way out of place.

Heard some pretty shady shit on the trip in Paris that led to the switch tre... Wich was fucked... and done in the morning just before the plane...

Mea culpa, for the gangsta term <3

After thinking about this more I cant believe myself, or anyone thought thrasher wouldn't pick the rider from the FA/Supreme camp. Its a business decision. If Element was raking like Supreme I think Even would have won. Thrasher has their new retail store in the 'Loin and Supreme is gonna open a store on Market Street in SF. Brands need to build the hype to sell some units. It feels to me like a partnership is forming between Thrasher and Supreme.

Indeed, as I said before " SOTpreme"

True.

But Tyshawn definetly had a great part in a Blessed, and isn't even at his peak (unless he goes Kevin Bradley style, from skating to partying haha). To me, in the "SOTY" finals, it was either Evan, Oski or him... Sure a bussiness decision, but it's cool to see him getting the title. And NYC probably was city of the year, some much happened/came out of there this year. (SF coming close...)

[potpie]

i think zion has a chance if he evolves his style, he’s still so young that it seems odd to consider him a contender already. hopefully he takes the foy route and spends the next two years chomping less rails.

When was TJ a dick to a pedestrian? When that dude called him a star and he said, "thank you?"

And yes, thanks for bringing up the Baker team, the most image-free and least fashion-conscious group in all of skateboarding. Jim Greco's Johnny Thunders phase, TK and Theotis in diamonds and chains, Ali Boulala's overnight Piss Drunx makeover, and half the team cosplaying as rockstars clearly has nothing to do with fashion.

Well, I cannot remember Johnny Thunders Greco being on anything else than skate sponsors, maybe I'm wrong.

They were biting fashion because it made them stand out from everyone else.

Supreme dudes are trying to be accepted into the fashion world, which in my eyes is different.


My only consideration is that the since there were more than one possible SOTY like the last 2/3 years, this has become more of a political statement.

Not that TJ isn't good, boy's good, but that it was more about where thrasher wanted to market and TJ is the right man at the right place.

Also, I was wondering if he is the first black soty? That's a statement of its own, especially after the 1010 bullshit.

[Giza Butler]

Also, I didn't like how he was portrayed in Blessed, hopefully he's not like that in his everyday life.

Ah, there it is.

[nooky]

TJ is sober, yeah?

does slap have more respect for burnout piles who don't fuck with pedestrians/security or aggro sober dudes like TJ?

TJ's attitude reminds me of Heath, who definitely didn't win any nice guys awards.

regardless, TJ is definitely playing the part of 'very serious skateboarder'.

I wonder if we're gonna get another Tee Shirt like this or a traditional Supreme shirt that says Thrasher or vice versa

[ungzilla]

[h00man]

Someone please print these as stickers so we can sell it for $100 each

[VHS ERA]

lol that will happen. Thrasher logo is nearly as trendy with non skaters as Supreme at this point. Hypebeasts will flock to that collab.

[Everett425]

a few coulda got it. havent seen blessed but his other stuff was pretty nuts. evan woulda been a great choice but he aint gonna slow down. zion will have plenty chances. he aint as much of a rail chomper as people think. go peep his florida daze 2 part from when he was like 13
