TJ Rogers 2022

[Stu Pickles]

After he was snubbed on the thrasher contenders list we need to give him the shine he deserves for the year he had. Diagnosed with testicular cancer, beat it, and put out just as much footage as louie, tyshawn, tfunk, and nyjah.

if anything else this thread can be a reminder to get yourself checked and to routinely check yourself. early detection is massive for recovery

[Patrick2G]

Huge year! A true professional.

[nonickname]

That is quite the snub...don't care too much about the award but that is a baffling decision if only for the feel good factor no mind his actual output.

[TheDingus]

TJ rules and Thrasher is too busy counting ad revenue to notice.

[Lou Strux]

if anything else this thread can be a reminder to get yourself checked and to routinely check yourself.

A truly tremendous testimonial to tasteful testicular touchery.

Hes the man

I'd be delighted if he got SOTY

[warmonke]

Would love to see TJ get it, putting out as much he has this year (as well as all the other shit he's done off the board) all while battling serious illness is better than any NBD

Couldn't have said it better myself. I love tj, he has the best attitude and was dealing w some real life shit. It will prob go to ninejah which is fine, not a big fan but he is gnarly for sure. TJ is the peoples champ!

[BurgerCop]

He may not be Thrasher's SOTY, but he's definitely my SOTY.

[backside_reacharound]

the man wears platinum cargo denim... in 2022. out here looking like 2001 hot boyz and shit

he should be skater of the goddamn decade for that alone

[BurgerCop]

[Gravity]

Hes one of the skaters of the 10' s decade if you look at footage for footage

[brucewillis]

He deserve the trophy too. But thrasher wont give SOTY for someone on Blind and Tensor. Which sucks, I love TJ.

man’s switch game is bonkers

TJ was already my pick. I knew he beat cancer but I didn’t know what type. This is the first time I’ve said anything about this to anyone other than my wife or doctor but I had testicular surgery 6 weeks ago today to remove a lump that turned out to be an epididymal cyst. Two cysts on the same one to be exact. Together they were larger than my testicle. I’m thankful that it wasn’t cancer but it was pretty scary to say the least. I’m finally cleared to skate as of today! Congrats on beating this one TJ! For real gang, don’t hesitate to get something checked out.

TJ is one of my favs. But he does look quite dobbstaffy...

Always great to see T.J getting love

Thanks so much! Hope this rain holds off so I can get a session in.

Those vids were great! His tricks in that first video were so floaty looking. Love the sagging, but some of those pants were looking a little diaper-butt like. That's a michael koors no-no. TJR for life!

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

to my count dude had 2 parts in 2019, 3 in 2020, 1 in 2021 and 3 this year.

that's mad even before you factor in cancer.

such a good all rounder too.

i was saying similar things about LL today, but TJ is just one of those people that have everything - big pop, huge drops/gaps, the ocassional big rail, nice trick selection, good style, ledge tech, lines, manuals - also got very creative in his battle commander.

let's get him on a vert ramp...

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

I wonder how tj feels about my first board which was a blind where the reaper is pushing an ice cream cart that says “good tumor” on the side.

[Mean salto]

Thrasher just didn't know what they're supposed to think of a white guy in a fubu jersey

[fernando the skater]

Admittedly, I'm an old, baggy pant, XL t shirt kinda guy, but, darn it, I watch the TJ Rogers vids over and over. Nigel and Tyshawn, I'll watch, admire the skill, but won't rewatch endlessly. TJR my SOTY.

Has anyone won while wearing hats/beanies with drink sponsors?   Was Foy on redbull before he got his?
