Oh my god where will the single most recognizable brand on the planet find the money for Nyjah? I hope they don't go out of business.

They will probably cut the Jordan brand, or offer tiger woods an ultimatum.

Nyjah and tiger more profitable than Jordan? No ones that naive not even you Tracey
This has got to be a joke. If it is, good on ya, Tracer. Better than the average Canadian rollerblader's joke.

Its not for popularity just equipment, when they had a regular demo it didn't make sense to delve into skating being with them, but accessorizing and opening up makes it more of a reason to have a quality team with less filler riders and more exposed experienced riders

surely coca-cola is number 1?

According to studies of whatever they study for that, Nike is #1 and Coca-Cola is #2. It's due to Coca-Cola using a written language that requires translation whereas Nike is a symbol. It's probably a difference of one or two recognition units*. Marlboro and Budweiser are #3 and #4. That was a study from 2008 though so it very well may have changed. Apple has got to be in there based on China's population alone.

* there is no such thing as a recognition unit

I'm convinced Tracer - the 16 year old skoal-chewing Canadian rollerblader - was murdered and his account is now ran by mods to bum people out and it's not even that big of a deal cause that kid sucked.

Tracer's sarcastic comment about Jordan and Tiger was funnier than most of you spuds who sit there for 45 minutes trying to come up with a "legit" humorous response in every thread.

Well done Tracer.

My favourite part was the guy missing the last trick because he was staring at his phone.

F/s suciu, nollie heel noseblunt, switch smith 15.. all just thrown in there willy nilly. Suicide rail stuff was unreal, and this all looks easy for him. Fakie front blunt is probably my favorite new trick after seeing this

Wonder if he made that b/s 180 crook in the rain?

shit was pretty gnarly but it feels forced.
im calling it now nyjahs addicted to pain killers,.
sad that he puts out this part that was a bunch of hammers and it doesnt exactly... do it for me i guess, if that makes sense.

itll be interesting to see if he stacks footage like this for nike
would you rather read an abudabi post or have a screwdriver shoved up your ass?

Better than his Fade to Black part. Less "Epic" more lines, less rail chomping, better music, his style is slowly (very slowly) maturing. Long bs 5-0, and nollie inward heel that gap stood out

Honestly was crazy skating yet lacking something. Could of done with "one more try" on that 5.0/skid.
