The way Nyjah has been reflecting back on his days of learning to skate with his dad and just speaking like someone who grew up skating instead of sounding like a rich celebrity is a nice change of pace.
I guess that's one huge difference - most parents (back then esp) would yell "STOP SKATEBOARDING" while Nyjah's pops was like 'you better back lip that 18 boi'
Nyjah is the GOAT of our generation, always throwing gnarly tricks. I remember being a teenager skating in the mid/late 2000’s and This is My Element was released; IMO that part goes down as one of the best.
Glad people get to see what he really had to overcome. They make it seem like he ain’t put the work in when he ABSOLUTELY did. Since a kid he’s been going hard and pushing the progression of skateboarding. A lot of people might not like him for whatever reason but you DEFINITELY GOTTA RESPECT HIM. GOAT
You know its the first time I’ve ever heard anybody say it, but i agree with him. back boards never came easy, but front boards just made way no more sense.
Thank you Nyjah for sharing your lifetime of unbelievable dedication and discipline with the world, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable with this interview. You deserved better, and you owe nothing to anyone but yourself. You're an inspiration in every sense of the word.
I've watched Fade to Black more times than any other skate parts ever, i still keep finding myself going abck to it and its just so sick. I dont skate anymore due to the fact that i can't take the risk of having another sprain or injury since i need to train and compete in other sports but i love skateboarding so much and nyjah will forever be one of my fav skaters
Had Fade to Black downloaded on my ipod back in middle school, would watch it constantly in pure awe of just how good he was. Also had to quit skating since I was a dual sport athlete, but always stayed in tune with the skate world. Strait BS he hasn't won SOTY, him and Joslin are the two biggest robberies imo
Anyone with such a high consistency in not just minor tricks, but really difficult tricks deserves respect. Nyjah is one of the greatest to ever skateboard and pave the way for other skaters to follow. I love watching him skate!
@@GoogleUserGoogle1 there’s a whole wealth of names giving praise to the creator. Ny (meaning my) Jah (meaning Jehovah) all summed up means my God is Jehovah. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s of African decent. Children are a blessing from Jehovah our creator and what better way to honor him than giving our children a name that holds real valuable meaning ❤️🙏🏽
was sketched out at 50 minutes even with the video being about Nyjah. I stayed and watched every single second. Great Doc. Props to whoever was in charge of this one. Nyjah is the Tom Brady Of street skating
@@taylordanielsen1465 While I would agree and Nyjah is probably my favorite skateboarder ever watching him since he was an embryo... Look up Kyle Walker, Evan Smith, Milton Martinez....many more to name.. Dudes that don't just skate street league and you will see some of the craziest skating you can find.
@@theprotagonist2008 I thought it was in bloom then looked it up.. I was wrong lol. Great video though! I can’t remember what video I saw of him now when he was really young.
I feel like a lot of these vids are a message to his dad that he might want to repair the relationship. It does sound crazy though to hear what he put him through, I wouldn’t blame him if he wanted to cut him off forever
@@harryhome86 his dad has that crazy little league parent energy but people give him a pass because it was for skating and Nyjah has such a great career. But his dad definitely seemed to be trying to live through him and that aint cool
Skateboarding entering the olympics was mandatory at this point where these guys and kids have taken it is levels above what I thought it would ever be back in the 99/00
Totally, I think if you want to wear a helmet its fully your choice as a person, at the same time you just have to accept that if you’re trying to pursue a career in street skating that you’re making it hard on yourself. its the industry’s choice on who they sponsor and that they’re running a business and “helmet skater kid” rarely (and I mean rarely) falls into their plans. If you’re skating for fun though only, then there’s no issue.
I got a copy of This Is My Element for Christmas as a 9 year old, and seeing his opening part got me hooked on skateboarding immediately. Still one of my favourite parts and videos of all time.
Love hearing him talk about stuff I grew up on. Like he was all shut up and skate to me. But I had this is my element on dvd as a kid so to get hyped to skate id be watching my jab and I was in elementary school
For me… can never forget elementality. I don’t skate anymore I still love it but that nyjah part started it all for me at the time. The love for skating.
He tick tacked a lot more when he was younger... actually that's the one thing I noticed from watching this...there is a certain point where he stopped doing it, and it's more recent. He loosened his trucks a little bit but it made a difference on landings, I can tell he still rides fairly tight...as do I, so I can tell...but not as tight as he used to and that's why he tick tacked a lot. But also the reason he built so much precision.
SO BEAST!!!! NYJAH FOREVER THE BEST STREET SKATER IN MY OPINION! LOVE JAH!!! YOU PAVED A NEW GENERATION YOUR ONE OF THE ONES!!!! THE GREATEST IN MY BOOK!
He’s put a serious amount of his life into skating and there’s nothing but full passion still there to this day, no doubt that nyjah is hall of fame legend for everything he’s done.. and for the inspiration he’s given others, for example Yuto.. who seems to be missing his nemesis lately
damn yo wtf is wrong with people like his dad. He trains his son like an abused circus animal to fulfill his own failed sports ambitions to perform incredibly dangerous potentially fatal stunts as a 6 year old, then when his son literally becomes the best in the world at it he basically does everything he can to sabotage his potential career and keep him isolated and alone and doesn't let him pursue it. Like hoooooooooooooooooooooooly fak so many levels of cognitive dissonance must be going on
I haven’t skated in 20 years.. don’t even really follow it much anymore, But when The Goat skates I watch!!! SLS, Olympics, Instagram or a new part in a video he continues to set the bar at the next level
It’s unbelievable to think he’s never won SOTY! Not like he needs it, just think he deserves the recognition. Maybe this is his year? Regardless, he has already eternally stamped his mark in the history books of skating - undeniable.
Nov 30th release Plus the other part he just released is clearly him throwing it into the ring for SOTY. Like him or not, he definitely deserves it and should have one by now.
Nyjah during the dread era was a serious inspiration for me growing up, first deck happened to be an element (later stolen at school sadly) we were rocking E’s accels and dunk mids, it’s cool to hear that cutting his hair was a pivotal point in him taking control over his look and skate style just a shame that he lost all his swag when he did chop them lmao

Say what you want but Nyjah is one of the greatest to ever step foot on a skateboard.
@Anthony Ayze "what you want", but he is a tough level, killah skilled skater. I am no fan, but he is good.
Moinski as a kid.
Who'd say any different? If they do, then they must be confused or just in denial...
Exactly, he worked for it all
No one said otherwise?
He IS the greatest. Are you kidding me? Who's better? Then it's Joslin.
The Berrics & Nyjah spoiling us lately

"AND TAKE THAT HELMET OFF" lol
@@omarlittle1190 Fr lmaooooo
Right😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly 😂 and take off that helmet before someone sees you !
yo if any1 can checkout my fortnite content , let me know ,thanks
One of the greatest athletes of all time.
Nyjah influenced and progressed skating to what it is today. Without Jah, there is no Yuto
Kid nyjah with dreadlocks is one of the most legendary skaters of all time
Like kid trunks of the skateboard world
How did this dude not win SOTY this year.. crazy
Agreed thrashers drunk.
Idk how tyshawn won at all cuz his name isn't even on the list...
Agreed!
Chad muska didn’t win it either
How has he not won it the past 5+ years every year?
Nyjah is the GOAT of our generation, always throwing gnarly tricks. I remember being a teenager skating in the mid/late 2000’s and This is My Element was released; IMO that part goes down as one of the best.
I hope him & his dad heal 🙏🏾. Thanks for so much content berrics
It's insane that folks used to doubt his commitment to street, just cos he was winning all the comps.
Glad people get to see what he really had to overcome. They make it seem like he ain’t put the work in when he ABSOLUTELY did. Since a kid he’s been going hard and pushing the progression of skateboarding. A lot of people might not like him for whatever reason but you DEFINITELY GOTTA RESPECT HIM. GOAT
If you’re a front board kinda guy you’re going places. Don’t give up
You know its the first time I’ve ever heard anybody say it, but i agree with him. back boards never came easy, but front boards just made way no more sense.
Thank you Nyjah for sharing your lifetime of unbelievable dedication and discipline with the world, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable with this interview. You deserved better, and you owe nothing to anyone but yourself.

it's hard to dislike a guy when you know his story. props nyjah
Seriously the most inspiring skater of my time ! Literally not far in age from him and he pushed every kid to be the beast !!!
The stories behind each trick landed and not even landed are so cool! It really puts into perspective how hardworking skaters are
Anyone with such a high consistency in not just minor tricks, but really difficult tricks deserves respect. Nyjah is one of the greatest to ever skateboard and pave the way for other skaters to follow. I love watching him skate!
Just named my newborn Nyjah not only is he my favorite skater but the meaning of the name is great. Means my God is Jehovah ❤🙏🏽
No, Adonyjah means ‘Jehovah is God’
I named my kid Nyjah because he's the actual father ❤
My name is a biblical name and it really has helped me thru life in a weird way.
Eli (my God) jah (Jehovah) means my God is Jehovah

50 whole minutes of Nyjah, and it’s not even Christmas yet
So much respect for Nyjah - he's truly put in some hard work over the years and is easily one of the best to ever do it.
You guys are funny, who's better than Nyjah? It's not even close. He's the best ever, hands down.

We’re the same age but I remember seeing Nyjah in “This is my Element” and being like this kid is so dope
I first saw him in in bloom
@@kylesalmon31 In Bloom? You sure that wasn't Evan Hernandez? Don't remember seeing Jah in that tape.

Lol
How is Sheckler comparable with Hawk and P rod..?
@@biilybob1 He is.

Berrics spreading them cheeks for nyjah. Balls deep.
Nyjah and Rob got me into skating fr never went crazy with it but what a time to be alive skating with the homies
I've never been a big fan of helmets, but the only 'respect' that matters is whether you respect someone's else choice to wear/do what they want.
Totally, I think if you want to wear a helmet its fully your choice as a person, at the same time you just have to accept that if you’re trying to pursue a career in street skating that you’re making it hard on yourself. its the industry’s choice on who they sponsor and that they’re running a business and “helmet skater kid” rarely (and I mean rarely) falls into their plans.

What an incredible career man.
Nobody can touch Nyjah on street. His steez is unmatched .
Nyjah's Dad Was Similar To A Dad Who Coaches His Son's Basketball Team.
Thank you for all the uploads!
Tiger woods of skateboarding. Amazing come up!
Love hearing him talk about stuff I grew up on. Like he was all shut up and skate to me. But I had this is my element on dvd as a kid so to get hyped to skate id be watching my jab and I was in elementary school
Seems like all of the greatest athletes have this type of father or a male figure with this drive to see them succeed at all cost
What an athlete!
Much love from Switzerland
For me… can never forget elementality. I don’t skate anymore I still love it but that nyjah part started it all for me at the time. The love for skating.
I don't see any other skater worthy of the title of GOAT. Nobody's parts are this huge.
Your a gift to skateboarding. ❤
Elements Twigs was my first skate movie I got as a kid, been a fan ever since!
The Michael Jackson of skateboarding
His style was waaaaaay better as a kid
Your trippin homie

Well, you definitely killed it Bro Bro .
Need That is an iconic part
It will be / It Is A lasting Part . 🤙 ✌️ 🙏
The BEST youth pro too ever live, no doubt. Glad we could watch this.

A nyjah documentary I’m here for it
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 my guy !!
Wow. So much interviews with other dudes!
First rail at 7 years old!!
So stoked for this new part! Lets go Jah! 👏🏽💪🏽🔥
crazy how dope the berrics is to the skate community. heavily involved with everyone; from unknown skaters from nowhere to nyjah huston. hisspect mang
damn yo wtf is wrong with people like his dad. He trains his son like an abused circus animal to fulfill his own failed sports ambitions to perform incredibly dangerous potentially fatal stunts as a 6 year old, then when his son literally becomes the best in the world at it he basically does everything he can to sabotage his potential career and keep him isolated and alone and doesn't let him pursue it. Like hoooooooooooooooooooooooly fak so many levels of cognitive dissonance must be going on
Wow Nyjah really explains his story well.
Regardless if you like him or not he’s easily one of the best skaters of all time
Why don't people like him? I've never understood that.
@@taylordanielsen1465 if you’re an elite level athlete at anything there will be haters
nyjahs nike part is gonna be on for the ages ⭐️
love it can't wait for this part Jah
His new part is CRAZY
i love seeing Nyjah do more than just rails
hey i was there when he was skating the handrail at sun valley high school!
My man 💪 this video was dope jah
Crazy how fast time goes…I remember being at the Tampa am that nyjah won
Forgot about so many of these clips. Wow.
Never knew he was so young when he did it, But really talented.
Young nyjah outfits went so hard
so much respect for this guy since day one!
Longest rail I ever seen done on a skateboard , wow killer hit bro
Awesome !! Hyped for the 30th 🤟
Whenever I see Nyjah skate he reminds me of an absolute professional athlete. He's no doubt a 1% of the 1%ers in skating. This was a great vid.
Please do more episodes
Recuerdo cuando era joven al ver la peli de element de Nyjah mis compas estuvimos de acuerdo con que el seria uno de los mejores, no nos equivocamos 👌
Damn, and he never even crosslocks. Amazing
Greatest Skater of ALL TIME! no question. He's deserving of every ounce of accolades and notoriety he's earned. Jah the GOAT
He’s one of the greatest, but not THE GREATEST single skateboarder. Not negotiable
@@Thisisdarkdata Danny Way has that title. Not negotiable.
The Ruth jersey in the beginning exemplifies that this guy is the goat.
That was also ma favorite when the cop was approaching him while he back tailed that ledge
After falling asleep to Street League last night and this documentary, I officially want Nyjah to come back and win every contest again
I haven’t skated in 20 years.. don’t even really follow it much anymore, But when The Goat skates I watch!!! SLS, Olympics, Instagram or a new part in a video he continues to set the bar at the next level
Thank you guys, this was great. All these have been. My favorite skater of all time, hands down. Joslin, then Sheckler in my book.
So dope thank you for the upload
Thanks for this so awesome 👌
Can we get a P Rod week?
Let’s go Jah!
Can't wait for the next part
so sick
Thanks for this!

That element deck @10:18 takes me baaaaaack

Nyjah it WAS your dad. A lot of us sadly didnt have that. Dont say it wasnt your dad. Thank him and talk to him.
Won’t lie I wish I had someone or a driving force like that. Just had a few friends and self motivation lol
Please , make Stevie Williams Life on Video !
Chris Joslin: Life on Video next!
Much love to Nyjah and his father for pushing him to be great!!
Super toxic exploitation of your child... So hot right now 🔥🔥
