For me I think he should b SOTY after winning many contest and blasting all those giant hand rails. Thrasher should consider the achievement of the skater during the year specially contest because for me winning contest is difficult than doing one big trick in a spot with unlimited number of attempt as long as your body allow to and you can comeback another day just to get the single big trick, unlike in contest you only have one shot to win.

[@trashtaffy]

@@jancyborg4310 You obviously aren't a 'skater'. Contests don't represent the spirit of skateboarding. SOTY is more about cultural impact rather than achievements.

[@KR4Qep]

as a 90s skater that got old and fell out of the scene, i haven't kept up with modern skateboarding. so i don't know much about him. what i've seen though, he's an amazing skater. but he's also corporate and clean. i don't know where the vibe of the community is today, but in the 90s there was always an undertone of anarchist ideology with skateboarding. it wasn't anti business, but it was very anti large all consuming corporation. it was a diy scene where companies were staying starting out of garages. where ceo's were skaters just trying to give their pros enough money to live a decent life. then shit blew up and skaters started getting rich, which most of us were cool with. we wanted skaters to be successful. the first time i saw nikes sb in skate shops my heart dropped. it was a sign. nyjah represents everything we hated i'm 50/50 on one hand i'm now a libertarian and still hold anarchist beliefs. so part of me doesn't care. do what you want, it's your life. the other side of me hates conglomerate monopolies, corporations so large that neocolonialism is engrained in their business models, and nike is part of a conglomerate monopoly. they also engage in neocolonialism with their manufacturing in the global south. it's natural for a skater taking their money to be hated.

[@phillydelphia8760]

This is kind of my feeling. Don't hate the kid, he's worked hard to be where he is and done some incredible stuff. But, what he represents ie. The corporate and clean, big money edge. The onset of Nike getting big time involved in skating was pretty much exactly what I never wanted to see in the sport. All credit to the guy, but skating has lost a little something since even the post 2000 days.

[@roycropperthetopshottamore2666]

Yeah it’s the problem with being involved in something like this from the start. Skating has lost its underground appeal now, it’s an Olympic sport now with billions of £s thrown into it. I heard China are mass producing good skaters over there. Making like skate sweatshop programs essentially where kids are being forced to skate all day to get good.

The premise of this video shines a light on how corny skate fans are more than anything. Of every single offense he is accused of and hated on for in this video, not a single one is legitimate in terms of skateboarding. Skateboarding as in what one does on a skateboard. Dude is one of if not the greatest of all time based on SKILLS. Skateboarding has been trick based for over 30 years and he does clean and powerful NBDs on the heaviest street spots and lands them perfectly. No flailing arms, no bow-legged stances...pretty much as good a style as is possible for that type of skating. He can pull massive, unmatched hammers out in contests under the highest-pressure situations. He is landing tricks (bolts) in this video from when he was a little kid that only a few people can do today. Sellout? Are you f*^&king crazy? More like Sell In! Dude earned every penny he ever earned and deserves everything he has and more. He has a hell of a lot to celebrate about. Again skateboarding in reality is about what you can do on the board, yet people hate on him for being too good, his fits, and being successful. Think about that for a second.

[@Lonr18888]

It’s no denying he has amazing skill & to see him do it in action is an experience but how he is as a person is where the hate stems from. It’s like how Patrick Bateman is adored by many but is hated as a person type 💩

[@graalcloud]

The problem is that style matters, skateboarding used to be cool as fuck. Now people are making it look lame, Nyjah's style of skating is no doubt insanely clean but it's almost too sterile and formulaic, sometimes you gotta get crazy with it. People like Jamie Thomas understood this, sometimes you gotta do something crazy. Bam Margera yeeting himself off a sign or a rooftop, might not be the cleanest trick ever but at the same time nobody else wanted to try some of those spots and that made skateboarding legendary.

that first statement is wild. rodney mullen and dawon song are some of the biggest legends out there and youre gunna say some kid who grew up with money is the greatest to ever live. lmfao. kid was literally handed a skate life. if you started out by saying theres some great legends out there but lately this one person has been making a name for himself in the history books or something, woulda been a bit better. sorry im not usually a hater but i cant sit at ease when people make statements like that. lmao, its like saying some college basketball player is the greatest when michael jordan and kobe and them did it all first and created what it is today.

[@jasondashney]

Nyjah turned pro in 2005. That's nearly 20 years and he is STILL dominant. I'm wondering how that's comparable to a college player. He is tied for the most X Games gold medals of any athlete in any sport, and his 15th came very recently so he's still going. And what do you mean he grew up with money? Did you watch the video? They moved to Puerto Rico with the money HE made skateboarding. That's irrelevant anyway, as is the age he started at as well as his dad. You make it sound like anybody can do what he did under those circumstances. He says right in this video he was winning absolutely everything at an early age. You need to be gifted for that to happen. He can do rails, gaps, manuals, ledges, the works. He's also good on transition. FYI, Jordan played in the NBA for 15 seasons, and Kobe for 20. Again, Nyjah has been pro for 19 years and is still at the top. Explain to me how you can use MJ and Kobe as comparisons as to why Nyjah isn't in that conversation, and be specific please.

[@calebhogue2619]

Lol wtf? He only "grew up with money" because he started winning contests, his parents were broke. He is OBJECTIVELY and FACTUALLY the greatest street skater of all time. He is Michael Jordan. He has been doing it for over 25 years, and just won a Super Crown at 30.

He went through so much he deserves the wins, dude is legendary

[@PBloss]

So everyone doesn’t like him because hes so much better than they are. Got it

[@KumahzClipz]

haters gonna hate but Nyjah my favorite skater and such a wholesome dude

[@caseymckenzie8065]

Only simps hate on him he’s lived several lives none of which by his choice all out of necessity to survive with the only skill set he had JAH

[@codybeach989]

I really have never heard of him being hated… he’s so rad

[@VedicAryanConnection]

Nyjah is skateboarding. Skateboarding is Nyjah. The guy is following his dharma to the T. He deserves all the enjoyment of fame and fortune do to his incredible skill and work ethic.

[@stevenkoudanis5238]

Dude does make insane tricks look easy as hell, he is a beast

[@brownpunk1794]

This is simply why i skate but dont associate with skaters as they are mostly(exceptions of course) toxic and gate keepy.

[@ohlaloh1295]

I worked at a taco truck, we were hired to make tacos at a small skate event at Nyjahs skatepark! He never came to grabbed tacos, never said hello, someone actually grabbed tacos for him, didn’t even shout us out or anything lol that’s why I didn’t care much for him after that!

[@goldrushau8425]

Absolutely nothing wrong with nijah. Hard working solid human 💪

[@AJBuddha]

I never understood the Nyjah hate I think haters are jealous people & people love to hate cuz they’re weak

[@EnjoiiGirls]

If skaters are hating that’s just pure JEALOUSY I’ve watched him since he was a kid, absolutely the best skater of his time

[@Jak_eee]

Debatable goat, what? Have you not heard of Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk or Stacy Peralta? Take away any 3 of them and skateboarding is either dead or drastically worse and less technical.

[@Klinfran]

Rodney Mullen has done so damn much for skateboarding, imagine if he were have taken an interest on rollerskates or bikes instead of skateboarding.

[@TheFabianRojasShow]

Im older then Nyjah. Was skating when he was a kid and been following him since. He rips! I dont skate now but i buy his shoes and still watch him. Stop hating on my guy!

[@Radmountainbiking59]

Too many tattoos for me.

[@NTEDOG561]

Why are you worried about another man's body?

[@yeehawbob4286]

Why were u lookin to marry him gaybo😂

[@newyorkvisionary]

He didn’t get them for you..

[@JRMH-X]

When you're so good that you make it look so easy that its boring. Absolutely insane and i respect it even more

[@EvolCasper]

Been following this kid since he was a kid and we’ve been skating about the same time. He has had a great life. Period.

[@kinda.austrian]

Dude took advantage of every opportunity put in front of him. He’s the best on the planet. Haters gon hate

[@reckinthevette2899]

Can’t hate on the goat. Best man doing it

[@scoowapscoowap8206]

If he ain’t the closest to perfecting and mastering a skill idk what is

[@bemmer86]

Great video! I didn't know anything about his child hood or up bringing. Nyjah has always been amazing to watch skate. I think the fortune and fame might have got to him a bit, but it gets everyone in any sport or spotlight into some trouble. I have seen some awesome and amazing videos and clips of Nyjah pulling off tricks I could only dream of! I never met him, and don't have any ill will or disrespect towards him. He is just one of the GOATS and we should leave his personal life to him. Thanks for making this video Dusted.

[@halo3playrer]

Nyjah is the fking goat of street competition skating. Period. No on can ever surpass him because there is so much he established as possible with his skating.

[@jobbgaming5028]

As someone who grew up watching mainstream sports and admiring guys like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant then getting into skating I was never turned off to Nyjah it’s damn near impossible to hate a guy with so much sustained excellence and skill

[@ExtremeSports221]

We love this man man, chill dude, extraordinary skater

[@aowho]

I remember hearing how Nyjah was just a comp skater, and that there was a disparity between one and a street skater. I think he shreds. And without him I don’t think skateboarding would be as recognizable as a legit sport as it is now.

[@edd2184]

Hating him because he's good and does the same crap that every young skateboarder catapulted into Fame does... is wild

[@whaecK]

Always loved his style, since he was old and strong enough for the Pop, it just went insane.. the huge Pop, the catch height and style of his tricks, the variety of Tricks - doesnt matter if regular fooded or switch, it was always a pleasure to see him skate He does the most insane sheit and let it Look like its easy, doesnt matter how Hard and often he bailed before envy is strong in this World, cant imagine why you would hate on somebody like him

[@Alexketchem]

Nyjah’s haters really care about “predators” until it’s their homies and heroes... Then they’re quiet as church mice. Dude is the goat.

[@audy_z33]

That’s how it works in every community, everyone gets bored of the same guy winning

[@marcelperes6842]

I never met any skater thats hates on Nyjah, we make fun of how funny he is, but no one hates him

[@SomeTypicalTourist]

I dont watch skateboarding, but the haters are very jealous. He hasn't changed, but he's living his best life

[@simplex1]

People hating on skaters for big corporate sponsors is the weirdest thing ever… they want pros to ride for a company that barely makes profit and will drop you one day out of nowhere with no explanation. Happens way to many times

[@iced_out_hello493]

I first skated when i was 4 years old too! Nyjah was my favourite skater growing up! followed everything he did along with element and plan B crew! girl grew, darkside, chocolate, cliche, all those skate crews! So proud of Nyjah

[@NotTheFakePeterParker]

If we are talking most achieved, nyjah is most definitely is in the conversation. He's achieved so much great shiii

[@bboypressure1]

Maybe his haters are just.. idk… jealous? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@officialbrandanmusic]

I’ve been watching nyjah since he was that 9 year old kid shredding huge stairs…. Nyjah deserves everything he has….

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

People hate him cause he's insanely good. When you're the king of the mountain people pray for your downfall.

[@miggs80]

It’s just jealousy. Fans and athletes hate a champion that stays there year after year. They love you on the rise but hate you at the top. What they really mean by they hate to watch him skate is they hate how easy he makes it look. I love how ecstatically grateful he makes it look. It’s like watching prime Ali boxing or MJ dominating in basketball. They all had their movements down to a science.

[@JESSEverything]

He was robbed of SOTY after his last video part, which did more for his reputation than actually winning because it forced people to confront the bias against him.

[@TheLuckiNeko]

I got my board signed by Nyjah Huston in 2016 during the Hartline at my Home town of Detroit. Greatest Day of my life!

[@romemadali84]

Nyjah is one of the best if not the greatest, I'm not a fan but he definitely deserves all the fame. Appreciate hes skills

[@majorphenom1]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿 Prayers out for nyjah 🕊️

[@tylerpaper77]

I grew up w him an watching his skate videos while I was skating. Two years younger than me an never hated on dude. Respect for jus killin it for so long

[@Circus2999]

This is new ....who hates him? Thats a bold statement saying ALL skaters hate someone. People hated muska cause of the chadilac muskalade. But lemme tell you, that hate didnt come from LA. Maybe you to you guys who just saw him in videoes and magazines. But muska (ok his shoes were hideous) came throgh venice (pre-rebuild of the pit 1 when there was a huge area covered in shit and spraypaint. Pit 2.0 is them demonlishing 2/3 of the concrete and left some of it for some weird reason) he always had a trunk full of shit. And really just showed love, you know? Regardles how corny or whatever he was, he was still loved by the younger generation ofl the community. Even p-Rod. He was a kid killing parks in the vallye (818 northridge baby!) i thjnk he was signed with 118 board shop. But peole hayed him beacause he was a kid. ... Like wtf pety..
