Deshawn on King Skateboards

He always seemed like a weird fit for Toy Machine. Their weird graphics don’t go with his laidback image. He should ride for a more subdued brand.

Weird fit for Toy
Weird fit for Business & COmpany
Weird fit for Sovrn

He kinda just needs to be a more elite team like Baker or Primitive.

He might just be picky. Idk, I can see him on Primitive but not Baker. Weirdly I could also see him on Disorder.

If you're going to start a thread speculating on this, spell his name correctly and mention how he was skating a blank board in his last IG post

I had a realization watching this. Hes just Tommy fynn 2.0. Super generic ripper with an overused bag of tricks.

you're right, he belongs on Stereo

Years ago I lived in AZ and the only thing I remember about Deashawn Jordan was him getting flowed boards from Darkstar. That would honestly be a good fit for him currently.

Not bothered by whatever board he rides but Nike needs to give him his own Jordan. It's right there just do a Jordan 1 and write dashawn above the Jordan logo

Could see him on April or Primitive.

[Banned from the room]

He's way too handsome to be specializing in lazer flips. Someone tell him to stop or make it a big herl

[PatrickSkateman]

He’d be a great fit for FA as some established new blood.

i dont really see any similarities between them other then they are both black.

Dashawn Jordan is grinding up handrails, i would say he is closer to brandon westgate / leo romero than tommy fynn. hardly anyone else is doing that and those other 2 i named are absolute legends and top of the game.

the way he does laser flip is actually really nice i dont really understand the hate. its a 360 flip that goes in the opposite direction and flips the opposite way. no one else is doing them nice like the way he does them. he basically invented a new way to do the trick, kinda like how bryan herman started doing hardflips and everyone started doing them "properly" all of a sudden after that. or how penny / reynolds started shiftying their kickflips.

he also has really good fs 270 to board i guess that is kind of a generic trick but still the way he does it is definintely different because he lands to regular - he has a really good fs 360 in general which is also not that common to see.

yea, as far as that horrible trick goes, Deshawn does have a "good" laser

[slapattack]

Has anyone else noticed how often Dashawn and PROD hangout now. Im pretty confident he's going to primitive especially when they just recently dropped a rider (Marek Zaprazany)

[Pooh Drunx]

Hes like that one dude in school that you have never seen skate in your life nor does he even hang out with the skaters. Hes always with the athletes and the prom king and queen type, but you have a class with him and you sit next to him and he is super cool but you never roll together in the quad. Then one day he goes "can i see your board, i used to skate for a minute but i quit for football" and he does a perfect lazer flip first T. Thats DAshawn Jordan to me.

[switchfrontshuv]

he has a strange kuku style

welp this cost me 9 rep points.  :'(

Don't worry about rep man that shit is meaningless. Some of the dudes with the best opinions on here have their reps in the shitter and some of the dudes with the most fucked and useless opinions have very high reps. If anything a negative rep means you're willing to stand up against and defy some of the stupid shit said on this forum.

With that said I feel like Dashawn is more of a Primitive or April kind of guy than a King kind of guy. Also I was under the impression that he has been of Toy for a while now, he never really fit their aesthetic anyways.

My posts have to get screened by mods because I made fun of Brian Wenning and 7.75 decks.

Negative rep means you are doing something right.

I thought it was because they're both part of Ashoc Energy

[Crailslideyoface]

Deshawn is one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met, so wherever he ends up, I genuinely wish him the best. That being said, I think Primitive is the best fit

[baker3G]

tell us how you know dude

someone in the industry told me. He has no board prospects yet. but i guess he wasn't meshing with the Toy team.. big surprise there...

I have an inside source that told me when a bunch of Toy guys went to Baltimore to turn Myles pro everyone stayed at Myles parents house and crashed in the basement, Dashawn requested a hotel room.

I will also say that I met him at the after party and he was the nicest dude without a doubt.

And I will also say I don't hold anything against him for wanting a hotel room. We did a trip recently with the shop I ride for and the owner paid for a hotel room and everyone was invited. I'm old, I'm not sleeping on a floor, I am going to sleep when I want to go to sleep. I paid for my own room.
