How Tyshawn Jones Became Skater Of The Year | i-D
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- The constant hum of spinning skateboard wheels has echoed through the streets of New York City for decades now, but it’s been a long time since a man like Tyshawn Jones has been riding them. Just 20 years old, the Adidas, Supreme and Thrasher co-signed skater -- who’s currently fronting the latest issue of i-D -- has transcended his homely New Jersey-cum-The Bronx upbringings to become an international superstar on the scene.
Watch the first documentary exploring his life story with words from Tony Hawk, William Strobeck and Andrew Reynolds to name a few.

Which part of Tyshawn's incredible journey was the most inspiring to you? 🙏
Leave your thoughts on his come up, or the current state of skateboarding in the comments! 👇👇👇
yes
shalom
Just his entrepreneurial drive. He keeps going and going and still stays loyal. Kid's special.
I'd say the first part on his first supreme video
Whats the last song on the vid?
NYC skaters are so raw. Skating in the winter is no JOKE!
Ice everywhere! You slide on the wrong patch and off you go!
wolfboy20 fr LMao
*Laughs in Floridian
*Laughs in midwestern
* Laughs in colorado nah bet that nyc winter is fucked tho props to them
Tyshawn was the last person who will ever be awarded SOTY by Phelps. That’s as big as the award itself.
I know man it made me so sad when the video opened with Phelps. RIP the legend bro
@@jarretwhitehead7845 exactly.
Sacrificed
Phelps got paid big bucks for that and didn't even live enough to spend it lol selling your soul is nothing to play with
@@topramenraymond7005 pshhh, foh guy! It's not a conspiracy, Phelps lived a hard life. He had a pain pill addiction and one's body can only take so much bruh
That Kit part was so true man! I remeber being told ' are you going to a fashion show or are you going skating' and i said ' both '. Rocking a good kit will give you that next level confidence!!
Gabby Carreon I have to like what I’m wearing or it fucks with my skating. Comfort is key.
Lame
@vawies Women love the way I dress, I couldn't give a fuck about what a dude thinks about my outfit so I look fly every time I go out to skate. Presentation is key and if you know you know. Stay in your lane bum
i dont even like to dress up. But its ao true 😧
WORD
What chad said about the kit and confidence, true as can be
Looking good to play good lol
Yup good fit make you a lil better
It was type cringy hearing him talk
The Laughing Man nothings cringy about the muska
Offtopp
“Thanks for not picking nyjah”
Alan Velasco jah too busy sending
nyjah is so annoying
Nyjah is better than Tyshawn
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags they both rip in their own way. And yes nyjah does street skate
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags oh I agree 100%. That can't even be debated
"jordan dunking from the 3pt line" lol
I was waiting for somebody to say that
Dude don't know shit about basketball for real just spitting out some shit he heard and got the wrong line. If some one every dunked from the 3 point line I would shot their ass because they could take over the world.
@@ibrahimkennedy317 That dude that dont know shit is an absolute genius. Dill is the GOAT.
@@ibrahimkennedy317 he obviously meant free throw line...
needs to be meme'd and gif'd
This documentary makes me want to start skating again. Being 39 years old now and remembering when I was TJ's age I was in my prime but life had other plans for me. I'm sure a lot of other older cats who skated in the 90's and early 2000's feel the same way when watching certain skate videos. This video ignites a passion that I to often forget about and it feels good.
Do it homeboy. I got pushed over the edge last year in August. After 3 sprains on each ankle I quit in 2012, also because I started college and the rest is history.
But I hopped back on, started doing 30 minute warm ups beforehand and stretches on my off days, took it slow, and now I’ve already got kickflips and all the basics back.
The future of the sport is with these younguns, but we can definitely still shred and write our own shit if we want. Every time I see something like this that motivates me I can go out and get some too now. Best decision I ever made to skate again.
Get back out there!
Do it, I’m 45 and started again about the same time you wrote this comment. Best decision I made.
Tony Alva was still skating at age 60.... So - go ahead!!!
@@gmunni8610 I started again 3 months ago and it’s the best decision I’ve made in a while, skateboarding is the best. Like you I now warm up for about 30 minutes also and stretch and it definitely helps alot. Been seeing good gains so it’s motivating.
they lowkey made this feel like he died like i actually had to look that shit up i was scared
jake did die
used condom ikr?
used condom he's talking about tj
Fr
Nctoomf - they just giving his followers now iyky
TJ isn’t even legally allowed to drink yet lmao
That's probably one other reason why he skates so good. Gets shit done instead of hanging out at the bar.
Thomas Rainbow he's well disciplined and you could tell he was on his purpose since he was 13, he was born for this !!!!
quebec
He doesn’t smoke or drink anyway
@@thomasrainbow He could still drink if he wanted. You think a 20 year old can't get alcohol? He's got a passion and he's not letting anything get in the way of that.
"Keeping it real" is something that you hear so often, it's become diluted with little meaning... But this doc, right here, right now, is the truth for keeps! Nothing but good vibes for real people, from real people. Peace, love and community
This dudes precision and board control is unreal. Every truck he does looks literally perfect.
to each his own, I know, but I have to disagree. Arguably my favorite thing about TyShawn is the fact that he doesn't do his tricks perfectly, that's what separates him from the Shanes and the Nyjahs, in my opinion; it's what makes his skating seem so raw and intense. He is cut more from the cloth of guys like Stevie Williams, Herman, Dill, and most of the FA guys honestly in that his tricks are more stylish than perfect. For a trick to be stylish it almost by defnintion can't be done perfectly, because otherwise it's robotic. Perfection is generally the enemy of style. His flip tricks look different every time, that's why nearly every trick is so 'new' feeling in his parts, and why certain guys who skate super clean can have parts that become samey and redundant, even tho the tricks they are doing are pretty technical. Tyshawn doesn't do his flip tricks and/or grinds perfectly at all, and that's precisely what makes his parts so awesome and his skating so exciting.
He does have great board control tho, we agree there.
@@WinedandDined27 Definitely feel the same, watched a lot of skating when I was getting into it but Tyshawn was the first guy I really remember watching for hoursss because the style was so polarizing and still is to me. I think that's what really drew to Na Kel Smith before I found TJ too
Never heard of this kid, but now I’m a huge fan of his. Also, how are you gonna make a video about him and not interview him?!
El Nieto PR well, you don’t skate so why would you know him?
@@johnnyc.3261if you skate you probably know Tyshawn Jones doesn't do a lot of interviews, especially entirely about himself
Johnny Lotto true story
@@johnnyc.3261 lol and he calls him kid lol Tyshawn prob older..
@@EASkateTV who cares stop trying to argue over the internet
Broooo cuhh speakin fax about the drip make you feel better at skatin 😂💥
Kali Drip Bruh
12:48 when you're trying to reach the word count on the assignment
Frostman be trippin
Lol
haha! You wrong for that!
Bruh you got me dead, I was cringing at that moment.
LMFAO
2:34 “jus get outta the hood real quick”😭💀
it be like that
I was not prepared for Sage's voice to be that deep lol
Ikr he grew up so fast
he for sure made it deeper
Crazy how far the IC kids have come. I still remember how much shit a lot of people used to talk about Mikey and some of these kids grew up to really make something of themselves. Still remember watching KB and Nakel and back when I still skated seeing them at random places around LA.
What happened to Aramis Hudson?
Beautiful piece. Tyshawn Jones is reintroducing real east coast street skating into this era of kids that are growing up to contests and parks, which I have no issue with but a good balance of both spectrums is key !! P.S. Scott Johnston is also a legendary skater in his own right but glad to see he's keeping busy !
My dream is to see this kid go into Street League one time only and destroy you know who.
youre totally right man, supreme (skating atleast) and fucking awesome are getting people hyped on nyc skating again
@@CHANNELAPOLLO hope he never does, keep the street street, leave all that perfect surfaces for the olympians. Love this kid
Being more serious, I’m new to the skate world but I’m beyond proud of watching Ty’s growth. You can tell he never gave up, his spirit just screams strength. He honestly got me into skating and I brought my board just last week. Thank you TY.
The nolie kickflip. That’s when I knew cuz was different
He's not your cuz. Nice try
@@Mateo-et3wl my point still stands. please get some dussy
I came here because of it I wanted to watch it again😭😭
Which nollie flip?
@@Mateo-et3wl u white
RiP Phelps
I don't follow skating as much as I used to but this vid popped up on my recommended. When I heard Jake died that fucked up my day. RIP to a true OG & legend
This is truly one of the best documentary’s I’ve ever seen. Great bunch of interviews of amazing truly legendary people.
Except tyshawn Jones sacrificed Dylan rieder
Watch the bones brigade doc on youtube movies it’s amazing
That was really well done! So cool to learn about him and see some of this footage I haven't seen before.
That has to be one of the most dangerous places in the world to skate. Because the streets are absolutely brutal. The pavement is unforgiving. Cars, pedestrians, bikes coming from all directions, 24 hours / 7 days a week. If you can skate in New York City, you can skate anywhere. This dude is incredible
Nah, im assuming SF
@@dariusblue5946 SF just has more hills. NYC is more raw and SF isn't as cold/icy , the streets are smoother
Come skate England mate, streets are way rougher. Or Colombia with David Gonzalez. New York is super young city, it may not be as smooth as lots Angeles but no way it's roughest in world
@@andybruce904 This is why Nyjah didn't deserve SOTY this year.
The last clip in this doc where his board looks like its floating perfectly across the top the of the plants in that big ass cement pot was crazy.
I’m so glad a took a moment to see & learn about his story , keep it up brother 💛
0:01 - As a true skateboarder, I love this in depth stuff where you get to know a skater. Wasn't really much like this back in the mid 90's. Thank You
King of pop
Shoutout Michael
Tiago Lemos has way better pop and definitely had a way better 2018 than this clown.
@@heelturnsface lol brandon westgate beats everyone
There can only be one lol
Tiago is and was amazing 2018 but Tyshawn had more flex appeal for sure
Wow this was so well done. Great interviews. Tyshawn is an inspiration to work hard for your dreams. Go out there and do it.
This was really so well done. I've watched it a good 10 times maybe more since it's come out. Love all that older behind the scenes kinda shit.
This is just a great, well made doc. 👊🏼
Everything looks so glamorous on film but it takes dedication and thousands of hrs of practice and pain.
I’m from New York I’m 27 years old and I’m hype for this dude been watching watching his skating since he was getting flowed product from toy machine and Emerica (before he was getting adidas ) he had a part with my homie Frankie Spears in a local video “Schlyer video “ around 2013-2014 and to see where he at now it makes me proud and happy to see his come up well deserved tyshawn is a solid dude ✌🏾
He’s the Kareem Campbell of our era. much respect to this bawse.🤙🏼
Super inspiring TJ, great to see such raw energy moving that fast with such intention.
"Like Jordan dunking from the 3-point line, you're like 'yep. that's that shit.'"
song at end? but fr this dudes motivation, work ethic, and natural gifts are beyond words...
"On my Back" By Warhol.SS (Prod by Max Ant) Out now everywhere !
Amazing Video! Great Job Kirk and crew!
Such a good documentary! Well done!
Tyshawn was the illest in the first Supreme video with Na-kel his style was butter on a hot pan
A Jordan’s just a Jordan
Every hypebeast’s heart just broke
This is so amazing, love it.
What a video. Great job guys!
Tyshawn Jones is kareem campbell from 21st century
hello from brazil!
yea he really is
Big facts
Crazy how Kareem is his homie Nak kel uncle
With that NYC twist of Keenan
@@SuaSponte75 dude i thought of "keenan forever" immediately also, and im as southern as they come🤘
the way he can ollie is just... damn near insulting lol... when I was growing up I was always telling all my black friends that they should get into skating, because the way so many of them are built, with that lean frame and tons of fast twitch muscle fiber.. they would kill the game if they started embracing it. Of course back then it was still largely considered to be something that didn't fit in with "black culture" but... its so cool to see barriers being broken & what I envisioned becoming real.
Funny how Andrew Reynolds completely sold out skateboarding culture to hypebeast culture vultures.
No but killing Dylan rieder is
@Homeslicehero yes. look it up for yourself.
Lron Hubbard what does that have to do with the comment you replied to lol
One of the best mini docos I’ve ever seen
This was very Inspiring to me, Just keep your dreams alive and follow your heart and your passion, Be Yourself, dont let others stop you, just do what you want to do, you are a free soul and you have the free will to choose your Journey. Keep Hope alive no matter what and go for your dreams no matter what. You have infinite support as long as your dreams are of Love! Bless You!
He is pure amazing, I wish him the best in his dreams to come
"It's just like jordan dunking from the 3 point line" LMAO
Awesome video, and shout out to Muska dude always puts a smile on my face
he pops his tricks so high it's like he just floats up
Perfect timing
“Kit kit kit kit kit kit” -Chad Muska
Icon - this dudes gonna be on top of the world in a few years time.
quality content, great work
Musks nailed it with what he said about the kit!
This dude i remember him ripping l.e.s all the time and killing it as a youngin
best 20 minutes I've spent in quarantine so far
So awesome I could cry for this dude. God has blessed him. Don’t ever stop my brother
tubeularvids His hard work & insane work ethic blessed him. He did that. Not god.
Ending almost made me cry just how hype it was 😂😂😂
,😂😂😂
Mark Suciu for SOTY 2019
Westgate. Silva. Evan Smith. Too many rippers deserve that shit.
Milton martinez fool
Mark Suciu or Tiago Lemos
For suuuuure
Trendy
What a style ! It was good to hear a sage francis instrumental accompanying this video, I thought it fitted well - super dope
inspirational video best soty for years
"It's just like Jordan dunking from the 3-point line, even if you've never touched a basketball you're like yep that's that shit" Congrats Bro
Lol I’m from NJ that accent yells “IM FROM NEW YORK” 😂 love the culture
Great video man kudos congratulations!
TJ's pop is otherworldly. I've never seen anything like it. It's truly amazing. Plus, he seems like a humble dude with a good head on his shoulders. His SOTY was well deserved. This right here should erase any doubt. Anyway, really enjoyed this. Oh, and the shoe looks great. It will definitely spice up any kit.
I agree, but tgis was definitely not his Soty year. Aint supposed to be about how dope ya are and who ya know. Should be your absolute crazy heavy output through the year. Tyshawns a ridiculously good skateboarder but that was definitely a dodgy one.
I didn't get tyshawn until I saw him skate last Friday. He kickflipped the length of a picnic table and made it look easy! Never seen athleticism like that. Congrats!
aha i saw that!
The song at the end is. “On My Back” by Warhol.ss , but it’s nowhere to be found.If anyone finds its please reply to me or comment about for other people to listen to it.
f a b i a n y e e t SAME BRO. That song is so fire and I’m so upset that I cannot find it. WTF IM JUST TRYING TO BUMP THIS SHIT
same for me pleaseee
facts
coming out soon
@@kohlllll coming out soon
"Manhattan, New Yawk", I hear you sis, represent! 💯
Saw Tyshawn in my neighborhood in NYC throwing down. He's unbelievably focused on his craft, excited for all of his future success.
a shoe is just a shoe until there's a person behind it
i cant wait to see the one you guys make on suciu a year from now
i dont care about suicu he is boring
@@gra_potemkin ok but his part was flame
@@gra_potemkin wait what?? do you know him personally? if you think his skating is boring then you're on another planet bro, he has been releasing amazing parts since 2010 and imo has some of the most amazing style and his feet are abnormal fast. Pls elaborate on why you think one of the hottest skaters in history is boring.
@@maxd3g he could have easily won soty back to back in 2012 and 2013. He put out so many good parts in the time
tj has a compelling story
Copped a few of his skate kicks. Style and longevity. These kids, man!
Great piece guys.
Im naming my kid Tyshawn, he will be Blessed
I see what u did there
1:08
Someone got a video of that Jordan 3-Point-Line Dunk?
hahaha
hahaha yeah he meant the free throw.
You ain't seen space jam bro? 🤣
Hahahaha, same
@@mindzai_glass8993 or flubber
half court!!
yo great video! shout out to the production team! tyshawn is the shit
Ty is the dude and I’m happy for this young brother, be prepared for more he ain’t done he will go FAR for sure 💪🏾
Lmao
Tyshawn deserves every bit of success he encounters. No doubt 🤝
"Not even 21 yet."
this makes me so happy cause Tyshawn is my favourite skater ;)
I just found this channel and it's already minty. Sub.
Thumbnail reminded me of “I dropped my hot pocket.”
Bro muska is a spirit animal he knows
So fresh and so clean! 🧽
Sick Edit!!
TJ deserved skater of the year more than anybody.. He's a true definition of a skater . no mommy and daddy buying ramps and building a skate park in your back yard. Lol
*The Thumbnail* "I dropped my Hot Pocket..."
this video made my day :)
He’s the guy that follows through.. 🔥
Style matters and he owns! aint a kid no more MANE!
Dude's got Muska jealous of that POP! Got dayum!
So good man. A life of realness. Only a skater knows that feeling of buying a brand knew pair of kicks and trashing them on the same day. Hell yea.
As a skater who grew up and from the Bronx and Harlem I’m happy tyshawn put us in the map.
Tyshawn the last true skater of the year. RIP Jake Phelps
Lol
Some people are mad af and they said Supreme bought him his SOTY
Clay Soggyfries makes sense tho
Nick M no his skill is what makes sense. This dude fuckin rips
TJ is a very good skater but he wasn’t the first choice for SOTY. He just happened to accept the award, not Evan.
I Got To Meet Tyshawn and Mark Gonzalez in New York 2018 while they were filming a video for Adidas. One Of The Best Days Of My Life
Attention! The boss with a true statement! „ a Streetpart ist like bring out an album“! The Kreativity & commitment you put in is gonna be there forever! TJ’s flow n hustle got that biggie spice in it. Only gonna have that shine if you born n raised on the streets of New York! Keep on jumping fences bra
