He has mastered the art of getting covers that need context. Who's gonna measure the distance this time?

context is overrated when you can flatground kickflip that high. They shot it next to that bench so you could see how high the flatground kickflip truly is.

This is it, right?

This is a sick photo and does a much better job of depicting the gap that the skater is clearing but the grizzly grip really ruins it for me

I was eating at a cafe the other day when a 50-something guy walked by outside wearing a flatbill "GRIZZLY" ball cap.

bet you were wearing a singlet and dickies and drinking a half strenght hemp milk cortado. Let middle age men live. The coolness is in the fact they don't give a fuck. Or maybe he was holding onto an idea of youth and hiding a bald spot and caring alot. Either way, don't need your small orange beanie bound brain snearing at the masses. For you are what you hate.

Fat Bill out there getting covers now!

Reading the thread from recent to old got me thinking this was the actual cover

[HORSES]

That top graphic is truly hideous. Also semantics but they got the Kobe quote wrong

Yeah i was going to say the same thing about the top graphic lmao. Not too bad of a bottom graphic though. It definitely could have been a lot worse. We all have talked to death about how Tyshawn is full of himself so there isn’t much to add in that regard.

Could someone post the original photo of Jordan that this rips off? I’m having trouble finding it right now.

When I checked on this quote my initial reaction was "oh whateverrrrr" but it seems they got it right on the Instagram post about it, which makes me think it was a typo.

[Pete]

Did Nak get bumped down to am yet?
I can see tyshawn not adding too many more people as to not take the spotlight off himself which is pretty funny.

Also I just checked the comments and it looks like the artist isn't happy about not being credited.

somehow this guy is making nyjah board graphics look good

[No Wave Comply]

For being so self-aggrandizing, his bloards/graphics, website, brand, team, and website are all surprisingly low-effort.

Let's not get carried away.

Its lowkey kinda sad. I feel like in his eyes everything he's doing is "king shit" but in reality its budget as fuck. Good on him though for starting something. I just don't think he's got the mental capacity of someone thats the same age but grew up in more traditional fashion. At least he looks like he's having fun and enjoying life. 

EDIT: just looked at the recent nyjah boards and dear God are they bad. But there's actually some sort of effort behind it

Are you surprised? He has undeniable talent but his presentation after his first SOTY has been sloppy. He’s a jock skater who seems like it’s below him to clean up a trick he makes first or second try.
Remember when he didn’t clear the picnic table then went back and toe dragged it on IG?

[djoekr]

That top graphic looks like something you'd get when buying a custom deck from a redditors Etsy shop.

Disorder boards look bad, but bad via a lot of effort

btw did u guys know atiba knew Kobe?

[Idk]

To me it’s just sad that he doesn’t respect what a board company is enough to try and make the company have some direction. Feels like tyshawn Jones skateboard company more than a company.

Yeah, I actually have been surprised by how bad it's all been because I'm talking about the King brand as a product and business, not his actual skating. Don't mistake my surprise for disappointment though, as I was never looking forward to this venture. Talented skaters aren't always the best businessmen and company owners.

Tyshawn can afford (I'm assuming) to hire a designer or consultant for King, but he can't hire someone to skate for him.

I do remember his picnic table redo being just as sloppy as the first make, yeah.

It’s gotta be crazy exciting for tyshawn to see his hero get his second AOY.  He should buy all 250 to show his support.

Because I’m not familiar with the photo, and I’m high from paint fumes.. on first glance I thought that was a photo of someone taking a shit while holding a trophy.

Atiba knows every Laker and Laker fan and he's not shy about letting everyone else know that he knows them. He recently posted a photo of him and Flea paling around at a game. At least it wasn't with Anthony "Child Brides Are My Thing" Kedis though.

Because I’m not familiar with the photo, and I’m high from paint fumes.. on first glance I thought that was a photo of someone taking a shit while holding a trophy.

That would be great. Casually droppin' a deuce while holding a championship trophy. Now that's a 2-timer.

[schralp pal]

I have not looked at the website since the first board was released, but I'd say the website is coming along - at least there is an empty apparel section now. Nothing wrong with taking things slow.

[Allen.]

Is that really Kedis’ nickname or are we being hyperbolic

[KGB]

For his next graphic it will be an artist representation of him blowing himself. Can’t wait.

That would be so amazing if it was really his "official" nickname and he owned up to dating and impregnating barely legal teenagers.

No disrespect, but in this day and age, that's super slow and ill-advised if you're gonna offer soft goods with hard goods. Looks pretty amateurish. They should have had all the product ready from the jump, even if that meant delaying the launch of the brand.

[Newphone]

And the artist will be uncredited.

It looks like a primitive board non skaters buy at zumiez

[$$LESH]

literally takes zero effort to edit his caption and tag the artist. such a bad look having hundreds of comments tagging the guy saying to give him credit. this shits been doomed before it started.
