Around 19 or 20. He got the bump sometime around Jump Off a Building.

It’ll never be as bad as two-man Toy Machine with Ed and Austin Stephens. Or when Caldwell Berry was on.

Also Blake Carpenter is sick enough to make even Sk8Mafia likable.

please don't compare Kader to this park ranger. I'm sure his skate coach is proud tho.

As a long time Toy fan, this current era is...heartbreaking. But they kinda lost me when they continued to throw money at Josh Harmony while letting J-Lay go.

J-Lay at his "worst" is miles above Harmony at his "prime."

He still rides 139s

I don't like seeing little kids going big at such a young age. They probably will don't have ankles or their level of skating will perish when they reach 20. I admire their level of skill at such a young age, but I don't want the hype to get me. I want to see what will happend to them, when they stop to be cute little kids throwing big stuff. This thing about talented kids scares me.

This is weird.
[close]

Not really, we're in a period in skateboarding where the youth are getting better than the rest of us at a quicker pace because of places like California. Look at how many kids around the age of 10 are getting noticed these days, like the 10 year old who did a boardslide down el toro a few months ago and just won bronze at x-games. Nobody was saying it was weird when Kader went pro even though him and CJ are a similar age and skill level. Over the next few years the age of the average pro is going to decrease a LOT and you can thank all the guys who realised they were too old to make it in skateboarding, but if they had a kid they could live their dreams through them.

naaah its weird

Imagine passing on Tre Williams for a run of the mill skatepark kid

Kanye Omari West · « **Reply #42 on:** August 04, 2019, 01:27:34 AM »

All I could do was cringe as I scrolled through the comments and saw pros/vets that I respected saying the nod was well deserved and blah blah blah. This kid rips but it's definitely early as fuck for a board.

Who else has Toy Machine passed on or slept on, now? Tyshawn and Jamie Foy sat on flow, and they didn’t do anything with Jordan Taylor for years.

Would still buy this kids board before Jeremy Libra’s

Barf The Mog · « **Reply #48 on:** August 04, 2019, 08:17:06 AM »

What’s the hurry to turn this kid pro? Why would Toy want a Red Bull beanie kid?
Unless Ed is a hypocrite, because Toy makes fun of corporations with their ads.

This is just weird. Toy sleeping on Tre Williams was a huge fuck up.

RIDEFLANNELV2 · « **Reply #49 on:** August 04, 2019, 08:43:18 AM »

Both Toy Machine and Ed suck these days. This move is premature. Not saying CJ isnt talented and doesn’t deserve sponsorship but these kids need to be groomed and eventually they’ll turn into good pros. Look at Louie Lopez. This is wayyy to soon.

Ed is to busy with his cellphone stuck up his ass to do anything worthy of praise.

At least Myles got the bump to am out of this. His style is so nice!

cheetahsheets · « **Reply #51 on:** August 04, 2019, 09:34:19 AM »

If you have seen myles and cj skate in person it’s a no brainer. I’ve been to a couple toy demos here and there in passing over the past few years. CJ is next level when it comes to live skating. Him, Axel, Leo, and provost are the only dudes I’ve seen on their teams really kill it in person. Everyone else can skate well in person but they are more video skaters. I always felt toy since day 1 was known for demos, so like it’s always been a mixture of dudes who kill it in person and are good/okay on footage, dudes solely on video, and guys with a mixture of both. CJ is the most impressive in person on his best days live minus Leo, Axel, and Provost, and they are way older.

gross, why, who the fuck wants a cj collins board

schralp pal · « **Reply #53 on:** August 04, 2019, 11:07:22 AM »

maybe he’ll shut us up with the toy video dropping

Francis Xavier · « **Reply #54 on:** August 04, 2019, 11:59:18 AM »

I remember his Myspace page his dad made him,been shakin my head ever since.

Toy trying to tap into that contest market since that's all CJ skates.

PlugSkullcandy · « **Reply #55 on:** August 04, 2019, 01:12:10 PM »

I wonder how much visibility (followers) translates in board sales. I want statistics.

Sick Duck · « **Reply #56 on:** August 04, 2019, 01:18:05 PM »

That kid is gonna be really good in a few years but nobody will care

How old was he during this? 2?

Vomit Lust · « **Reply #58 on:** August 04, 2019, 02:13:15 PM »

According to Google’s he turns 16 tomorrow. 16 year old pros are not unheard of. It’s not the norm, but hardly rare. He’s got a kooky dad and a kooky hat, but he’s definitely not too young.

papo · « **Reply #59 on:** August 04, 2019, 02:40:05 PM »

Why are you motherfuckers hating on this kid? He shreds a million times better than moste of you negative assholes on here LOLOL
