Could you suck Tyshawn’s dick any harder, seriously?

Would you even care half as much if Nyjah had got it and got critiqued for it because he's too robotic, not stylish enough or skated too many rails?

Fyi, Tyshawn didn't debunk GH, if anything going back to redo the trick implies he had a point.

This would have a lot more power if 2 of the 3 runner ups Tyshawn was being compared to weren't people of color. its not like he was the only poc or even black skater who was a finalist

The problem with the Britney griner thing isn't her race or sexuality. It's that she was traded for an extremely dangerous man who wants to help the Russians in war. Stop being a race hustler and look at things objectively

The thing is it is subjective...objectively all of the finalists are elite level skateboarders who have overlapping but different skill sets and make very different aesthetic choices in what they do and how they present themselves in the world...I guess objectively t funk is probably the least “skilled” of the finalists yet in my mind his form of skating most aligns with my vision of its ideal...that said the hate TJ gets is ridic...no one else is nose blunting up the pyramid ledge or backside flipping a subway track...

Yeah the "rigged" thing is getting out of control. Glad Thrasher doesn't unveil the process. Same bunch who immediately voice outrage when anyone goes pro they don't agree with. What's up with the "robbed" mobs- always been there or social media born?
