Thrasher would lose credibility because the dudes who are usually down with the mag the most (I.E. Skate Rock dudes) aren't down with Nyjah, and probably wouldn't be as down for Thrasher as much if Nyjah actually won. Plenty of people outside of Slap still think this dude is a fucking douche.
oh i get it! so, what you're saying is that nyjah is a piece of shit for being talented & having money but....it's okay to beat gay dudes to death or call gershon the 'n' word... right? that's core right?! fuck nyjah's corporate ass. riding for companies that pay good money, getting so much coverage, buying nice cars.... what a DICK! thrasher/phelps should base their decisions on how to run the mag firmly on what the skate rock dudes think, right? let's not give the trophy to the person that deserves it most or skated the best, let's give it to whoever get's along with the skate rock dudes... that makes sense. everyone bitches when 'skater of the year' means who phelps likes the most but, then everyone else bitches when 'skater of the year' means the dude who actually skated best that year. they should just stop doing soty because, it just makes everyone act like little cry baby bitches & throw out wild claims like "oh i won't buy another thrasher if nyjah wins soty".... you're a fucking kook. are you going to stop watching football if your least favorite team wins the super bowl? "that's it.... the broncos win the super bowl?!?! FUCK THIS i'm over it." you suck at life gerwer's nose and, i hope you get hiv from being such a cocksucker.
I normally don't read your childish rants but the irony in this was too funny to ignore. Practice what you preach, you fucking baby.
There are plenty of guys who are way more "thrasher" than Nyjah and killing it just as hard as he is. Deal with it.
i didn't murder a gay dude... i just made fun of one. there is a big difference. it's amusing how every time i comment on one of your outrageous posts you don't address the actual subject, you try to correct my spelling or tell me how i'm a hypocrite like any other 12 year old boy would. i just don't see a whole lot of dudes doing the shit he is doing at all. then again, as you said in the deathwish video thread... 'real' skating to you is a bunch of dudes skating parks like burnside so your opinion is just as irrelevant as always.

Its one thing to take money from monster to pay some bills, its a completely different thing if youre letting them make decisions for you. they definitely have more to lose by making nyjah soty. For some people itll say a lot about the kind of relationship these sponsors actually have with thrasher. On top of that i feel like nyjah isnt the type of guy you should be trying to promote in skateboarding anyways. Theres lots of workhorses in skateboarding, that doesnt make them the best either. They come and go every couple years without ever leaving a lasting impact the way most sotys have. On top of that, hes not even the techest dude out, people are just getting techer and techer. Whereas if someone like say brandon westgate got it after dropping that emerica part, that would make a lot more sense to me. All his parts have a couple tricks that are a level above the rest.
really dude? i mean, he's not my favorite skateboarder either by any means but, you're saying he shouldn't get an award because of his sponsors? and that if he did indeed win that it would be because of sponsors like monster? what you're really saying is that you like westgate's skating more so he should win. that's cool, i do too. but, if this dude drops another video part this year that tops that element one, keeps getting covers/winning contests that pay 6 figures and keeps doing tricks down rails/hubbas that were unheard of before.... for what reason could he not win besides not being 'core enough for thrasher.' just think realistically. & you're right, he isn't the techest dude ever.. his lines prove that. then again, how many people are backslide flip nosegrinding rails or doing bigflip hurricanes?! those aren't exactly warm-up tricks for most... i'd rather watch a reynolds f/s flip or b/s flip all day but, when nyjah is switch big heeling the same set.... you gotta at least notice that stuff. if the westgate argument is valid then so is mine, westgate doesn't 'invent' new tricks, he just does them on gnarlier shit then anyone else with more power. how many people are doing kickflip f/s hurricanes down 10 stair hand rails? okay, how many can even do them on flatbars? i'd like to see westgate take it more then anyone but, you can't down-size nyjah's skating one bit... especially with the kind of reasons you have provided.
Its nice that you like nyjah but westgates footage is next level. power skating got a helluva lot more popular over the last couple years thanks to a couple guys and one of the big ones is definitely westgate. I dont see where nyjah really fits into anything besides being a really good contest skater. If the skate rock guys mattered that much then figgy wouldve won last year but he didnt. Id rather take that ortiz dudes 3 flip overcrook in the blind video over most of nyjahs tricks. Nyjahs much more consistent skater than most but aside from that whats he really got besides a couple attempts at one upping some dudes and contest wins? Like i said, what is thrasher saying when you put up the quintesential contest guy and call him soty 2013? Its not a good look.
no where in that post did i say that i like the guy. i actually said he's 'not my favorite skater by any means' & i'd rather watch someone like reynolds do kickflips & fs flips all day then see this guy one-up everyone but...... he
is one upping everyone in a sense. sure, he doesn't have power.. we all can see that. but the caliber of skating & the tricks that we've been seeing from him are no joke. the dude back noseblunted hollywood 16 in a fuckin' shoe commercial while other people with power are ending their parts with f/s noseslides & b/s overcrooks on the same rail. i don't have to clarify the fact that i would watch westgate all day over this guy, especially if i'm about to go roll around but.... the kid has tricks, let's not forget that. he's just easy to hate on... someday he'll start skating tranny like sheckler has been, win you guys over & all of this will be forgotten
