I saw him at fish gap like 2 weeks ago and he hit a FS big spin down it first try. Sooooooo

What's fish gap? The block/stairs he switch flipped?

Dylan kickflipped up it for his ender in Cherry:

I was almost positive TJ did the same as a tribute in Blessed but I didn't see it or it lives somewhere else. Just watched that part again and it is so gnarly.

Crusty spot in brooklyn: https://quartersnacks.com/spots/brooklyn/downtown-fort-greene/fish-gap/

[hot take]

He’s using his influence and street cred to defund the police. Sometimes winning soty is greater than you’d think. Also he’s selling drugs(and dogs) out of the BOH of his restaurants

[shrimptoastcrunch]

He'll give you the insta clips for free but a full part is gonna cost ya

[shannamal]

why do folks still pretend like it's 2001, and social media doesn't exist? like, yes, as a pro skater in 2020, your sponsors want you to post footage more than once a year. just post some ishod type shit, of you dicking around at the skatepark

[VHS ERA]

I watched TJ try straight nollie heel over a can a few months ago (was on his last few tries when I showed up, didn’t get it then at least).

Strobecks Instagram is where the clips go. Strobeck also teases them filming in the streets and it looks like he’s working, only posting the casual/throwaway shit.

I’ve heard rumors of him trying some heavy shit in NY. I’m totally fine with this amount of clips for the gram and saving the real deal for a part. Short answer, yea he skates.

[Pete]

that nollie heel is motherfucked up. this dudes out of his mind you kids are fried as fuck

the hate TJ gets boggles my mind

I think it isn't so much his "absence" so much as how when he does pop up it's about money and ego instead of skating, which is cringey af.

[mattchew]

Literally one of the best to ever set foot on a skateboard and people complain, unreal. Must be so fucking fun to be that good.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Some of you will walk through fire to discredit TJ. Unreal.

Not a huge FA fan but from the sound of it Ave and Dill are believers in stacking the footage and releasing it when there is a new product drop.

Recently Dill said that KB sitting on a lot of shit, but just waiting on the right time (the spring drop basically). Based on KB’s social media you would believe Clark Hassler skates more than he does lol.

You’d probably post the shit he does if you had multiple video parts, a restaurant, SOTY, a huge adidas deal, etc. at 21. He’s a college aged kid with a ton of success.

Nope, not even close. Being ostentatious is ugly and can attract some pretty terrible things.

[Croquet temper]

I think people were just worried he’d see himself as above it all and go pursue an acting career full time and we’d lose a great skater who still had a lot more to offer the world of skating.

I’m all for wishing people success but at the same time I’d be like “ah man you can’t just ignore the level of pop you possess.” We mostly know him for his skating so if you’re a fan of it you still want to see it.

[City of Drunken Totems]

Man he'd suck at acting

[Tyroneshoelaces]

I saw him FUCKING up freedom plaza about 1.5 months ago.  Was oddly warm and they were out with strobek

[Urtripping]

How dare a successful young black man in America have an ego, or want more out of life than what skateboarding has to offer?!

As others have pointed out, he still rips.

[BroBruhBra]

All you butt hurt people should start a club called "Friends of TJ" where you defend his honor against baseless claims on the internet by people who love his skating and want to see more of it.

Make some bumper stickers and be sure to give him a cut.

Dude, that's the whole thing.  Do you remember how cocky you were at 21 vs your late 20's/early 30's?  He's still a kid.

And shouts for pursuing paths outside of skateboarding.  I for one didn't expect his first venture to be a restaurant, but good on him.

It's just weird to think someone isn't skating just because they're not pumping out filler insta clips. Like relax you'll get your TJ footage.

You just have to put up with Strobeck's instagram if you want to see his footage. Honestly he can get away with posting less skating because the stuff we do see is so, so good.

After being heavily and rightfully kook'd for hating on Bledsoe's tattoo stuff, I am fully on being a fan of pro skaters being able to use their social media accounts for more than just skating. It's interesting and refreshing!

also could you imagine how much excitement and pride he feels being able to live the life he lives and take care of his family the way he does after how he grew up? that story about him getting 80,000 stolen from his mom still blows my mind

Haha, thanks. Sorry for coming off like a jerk sometimes. I'm overly opinionated and bored at work.

Side note, I'm dying to see a serious part from KB.

It has truly been such a pleasure watching his career in skating take off and open up doors for other opportunities.

[Lenny the Fatface]

Also would like to point out that Elijah was on FA for a couple of years before dropping a bunch of footy in 2020 and no one tried to imply that he wasn’t skating during that stretch in between. Just saying 🤷🏾.

[swishfrontblunt]

Just cause he's not riding around aimlessly in a big white cargo van eating chic fil-a and drinking starbucks with 8 middle aged drone filmers, sitting in LA traffic and begging the black label dudes for spot pins, does not mean he's not skating.

[bluntfullofmid]

This man just casually SW FS flipped the bond street gap for an instagram post
