tyshawn is good..but his legs are too long for his body and the way he catches tricks are always really ugly.

[close]

I think he has one of the best catches in skateboarding. That half-cab flip is fucking flawless.

[close]

The halfcab flip was one of the nicest I've seen. And it was done down that huge ass 7 block. I mean, who the fuck would roll up to that thing fakie holy shit!

Props to him about not drinking or smoking. I can relate. That shit holds you back and its expensive. Well the weed part.

Bastien, Chris Cole and Billy Marks have all done fakie tricks there. I've never been there, but that shit seems enormous. I'm still blown away by Chris Cole's fakie frontside flip, partially due to the fact that Cole is a big dude, yet almost looks small as he's flying backwards down that thing. Some guys like BA, Cole, Brophy, etc...  tend to dwarf gnarly spots, making the spots appear smaller than they actually are, and I took that fakie  fs flip as "proof" of how gnarly that spot is. It's crazy that Tyshawn got there and was like "It's not so bad...".   And yes, that half cab flip was fucking gorgeous.

Fuck I'm a fucking loser! All heavy hitters there!

[Toadfish Rebecchi]

I thought he sounded like a good kid in that interview. I'm not personally into all the materialistic stuff, but different strokes for different blokes.

Way smarter and easier to read than some other interviews (even though the questions in this one were kinda bland). I read a Nick Trapasso interview once and I was convinced he was intellectually impaired. He kept talking about pho noodles and made no sense. It was fucking hilarious  and I re-read it out loud to my friends, but we were laughing at him, not with him.

[Hannity]

i like TJ, seems like he really learned some life skills from Reynolds re: keeping a clean image and letting skating do the talking.

little off topic but has Cyrus had a proper interview yet? would really like to see one.

Scrilla is a stupid fuckin name he's materialistic and downplays spots all cocky. Also hardies shit is wack

[heckler]

^You're really reaching. He's just a kid and he's got his head in the right place, you guys are just mad that he rides for big bad Supreme and makes most of your favorite skaters look bad.

....so you'd rather him look up to Antuwan?

No, he makes them look good.

This nigga is citiod regular.

Make that scrilla now while you can...

[nigga_please]

Damn I just confused him with Na-kel, who is the real fucking idiot. My bad Tyshawn.

[violentpizza]

Love Tyshawn. One of the only non idiot skaters getting coverage. I think the thing about him and Nak being rappers is a joke they're pulling on skate media consumers.

And it's great

That sounds a bit paranoid, but that comment made me tickle too, you could be totally right.

It's not reaching since it's not baseless. Also i actually like supreme

What was Billy Marks' fakie trick down it?

[rideflannel]

If it’s frontside, I call it a fakie frontside flip. People calling half-Cabs fakie 180s are just making things difficult

Tyshawn better put some respek on Cab's name.

I thought he did Cab? Now I'm second guessing myself.

[doomstation55]

I know he did a cab in the trailer for this at 1:20 but can't think of any more from him



Also I think Matt Bennett's sw ollie at 1:04 might be one of the most stylish ones ever.

[DCLOVE]

He was at the LES park the one time I was there, he was ripping and even appologized when his board got in my way. Seemed like a good kid all around

Wow , all I have had is people try and assault me when their board got in my way at LES.

Yeah, I may have been thinking of that one, good call. I can't believe Matt B tried to switch flip those stairs, he got close too. Sidenote: I remember getting chills the first time I saw this trailer when it was released.

So your implying I'm bought out by Adidas? I don't blame you though you never know I'm sure companies have teams scouring places just like this, but anyways the Busenitz adv is an amazing under rated shoe but to be fair I skated the Seeleys and I I didn't necessarily hate it but there's far better options.

Dude. Be careful. You don't wanna lose your job.

[MexicanSpaniard]

I like how he dissed on Toyotas, they are cheap plastic japanese shit. I have to drive one from time to time and coming from a german car normally the difference in quality is astounding.

[McCly]

You'd think this crowd would be able to detect blatant sarcasm. Considering he's in the FA camp, this dude seems alright.

Also:

"If you don’t know me, you can’t really speak on me."
