What was the last exciting photo Atiba shot?
homies been calling it in for a minute, the Blessed thrasher article shot was one of the most uninspired skate photography I've seen a while. If you're gonna go that lazy at least just slap the fisheye and get close. Dude has shot some great skate phots but I guess he'd rather shoot portraits of Lakers players.

I’m guessing this was a planned cover to coincide with his new shoe release and this was just the best they could do with the current global situation.

Lol as if this bs tail isn't gnarly regardless of pandemic/fit/nyjah etc
[close]

i'm not disparaging the trick, there's just something so safe and bland about the composition (including his navy on navyness that Nyjah gets lost in) that dulls the impact of the trick and makes it feel like a cast-off photo a wheel company would be forced to use.
[close]

I ain't mad or a lover of Nyjah, it's just funny.

Also, has anyone ever hit these two rails in a row? I always found it weird that people are so quick to jump off. It is pretty massive I guess
I think that David González hit the two rail in a line

Didn’t realize this was UCI.   Whenever I see these rails I think of Rowley’s Pete Rose slide in Sorry!

Curious at what point on the rail (and if he went to fakie or not) he came out of the slide, that rail looks hard to dismount with how low it ends

He came out fakie (smooth af) and popped out maybe a fewer stairs up if I remember correct. I saw the clip on a phone 😳

I know the rail is fucked.
I know the trick is fucked.
I admire Nyjah for putting out street hammers still despite his position in contest circuit.
With all of the above - the photo is underwhelming.
Wonder how Sturt would have shot it.

Man you don't even know. I would have climbed that tree behind the rail, hung upside down and got the illest angle. Would have had my drone taking pics straight above the rail for a backup angle.

I'd love to read that Frank Gerwer people I've known

I don't have a scanner but here's a good one from it.

Robbie Russo:

We got out of the van on a trip to swim in a river. Gabe found a little rapids section - it wasn't too crazy but at the end it sucked you under and then spit you out like ten feet downstream. We all had a god and then it was Robbie's turn. He took the rapids fine but then at the end, nothing but a shoe popped up. Seconds later he was in the middle of the river, panicking, struggling to swim to the other side. He barely made it. Now it was time to leave but Robbie didnt want to swim over. "Can't i just walk around?" he yelled. We looked at each other "It's a river!" Pete and i yelled back. "Nah, ill walk around" he repeated, not getting it. "Robbie it's a river!" we yelled again. After a short debate, Pete swam over and helped him back. Robbie may be great in empty pools, but definitely don't add water. Not the strongest swimmer.

Ewan Bowman:

He puked on a futon that was in my living room, folded it up and it notoriously became the puke taco. I was also there the day he became a US citizen, so some good history there.

Heath.

Could someone turn this into a Thrasher cover?

I’m sure someone noticed it before, but it’s a first for me...On his tit clock, is the Roman numeral for 4 really IIII ?!?!?!

Yes, IV is much more common for your typical wall clock or wristwatch.  However, IIII has always been the standard for tit clocks.
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

I agree 100% with all the clothes talk, but damn if that doesn't prove that how much this message board is just a discussion of men playing dress-up at the end of the day.

I find it hilarious how y'all are really surprised that some home schooled kid with a crazy rasta dad who forbid him from making friends and engaging with the outside world outside of skateboard sponsorship could have a few eccentricities.  with nyjahs childhood you just expected him to raise himself and grow up well adjusted all like that, huh?
