He was a clever kid. He’d trick the doorman into looking for something in the package room, then snatch apartment keys off the wall. ‘‘I was young and dumb,’’ he says, so he thought everyone had huge piles of cash hidden in their bedrooms. They didn’t, but he found other stuff to grab. He eventually got caught, and in the aftermath of all of this, the family moved back to the Bronx. ‘‘When I moved to New York, I would just think about that money,’’ Jones says. ‘‘I gotta get that money back for my mom. I gotta get that money back for my mom.’’

I do think Tyshawn being a young black guy that doesn’t look like a skateboarder plays a part in some of the offbeat criticism he gets. People on here have called him the next Antwuan, people have said he’s one of the dumbest skaters around, and some dude is now asking if he doesn’t skate anymore just because he’s not on Instagram like that and hasn’t had a full part in 2 years? That’s bullshit in my opinion.Also I’ve never read anyone shitting on Berle for his footage gap, and people love shitting on him.[close]100% this. It’s not like every criticism of him is racist, but some most definitely are, even if the person posting it doesn’t even know it...shit is not simple (or so black and white, harhar). Tyshawn obviously is smart and capable as fuck. Proof is all there. Pro before the age of 18 on one of the most popular board brand.Owns a hardware company, du rag company, multiple(?) restaurants, breeds bulldogs, probably other shit too. Pro model on adidas.Multiple full parts in the last five years. Last SOTY pick from Phelps. Front boardslid a fucking moving construction vehicle in traffic.Blah blah blah. Barring any unforeseen circumstances he has a full decade worth of absolutely prime skating, and I for one can’t wait to see it unfold. Dude fucking rips and is so fun to watch. Hopefully he starts to skate transition more.[close]
