Absolutely insane. Best part I've ever seen. Change my mind. Probably can't.
Utterly fucked. Speechless. His rail game is simply fucked. He's hitting rails that pro skiers and snowboarders would have difficulty hitting- and he's flipping or spinning out. His natural talent is indisputable and clearly he's motivated as fuck to push skateboarding to its limits. That thwack at hollywood high was raw as fuck. I hated the song choices but it didn't matter one bit, they fit his style and set the mood for the edit. This shit is literally poetry in motion.
420/10 Fuck Yes Nyjah
That was soooo fucked up...also so sick seeing shots on the DFD from my high school
Came on NS to make this thread, glad to see it. Fucking insane yo, kid 50-50s circle rails like nobody I've ever seen and the kinks he managed on a skateboard I don't think many skiers/boarders could
Skating was completely insane. 5-0 round the Riley Hawk curved kinker should be impossible for sure, as should half the shit in there. Filming and production were completely horrific though and ruined a bunch of the shots in my mind. I definitely wouldn't call it the best part I've ever seen but they we're some of the craziest handrail shots for sure.
his part is insane. but forreal nyjah huston is the shaun white of skateboarding. he's insane but he's a shitty person.
Used to love watching him as a tiny kid with long ass dreads... this is fucked. Too bad he rides nike sb.
yungQhis part is insane. but forreal nyjah huston is the shaun white of skateboarding. he's insane but he's a shitty person.
Listen to this and maybe you'll change your mind. He definitely has a kooky image but I think he gets a lot of unnecessary hate
I missed the switch feeble down hollywood high the first time watching it. That was nuts too.
Yeah half the shit he threw feebles etc. on the average skier couldn't natty grind let alone a blind 2

Idk that the filming and production were bad just not my jam. Music was fucking horrible though. Felt kind of like a style you'd use for a couple shots for a commercial or something not an edit that long.
Some of those spots and tricks though. Fuck.

It would have been alright for a commercial with a throwaway shot or two in. But for a full part with some of the gnarliest things ever done on a skateboard, having those cuts all over the place and weird cropped angles just took away from the skateboarding. It's not a new thing, to me the same is true of all of TY Evans' shit in the last 5 years. Maybe i'm just old, I dunno.

Nah I agree. Would have been cool to have it be more raw. Tricks were sick, I liked it, but wasn't as good of a watch as it should have been. Massively detracted from the skating imo. Also I can't remember if I mentioned the music sucked, but the music sucked too.

I definitely agree with the Shaun White comparison as he has actually become damn wealthy from skating, but I honestly don't think he's as shitty a person. At least I've never seen anything to convince me otherwise. Seems to me like he just skates, lives the high life, vacations in Tahoe and clubs with hotties. Nothing I wouldn't do.
Nyjah is similar to Shaun White in that they are absolutely on an entirely different level than the rest of their peers. However, thats just about where the similarities stop. Nyjah is a really humble dude (highly recommend listening to his 9-Club episode that just came out) unlike Shaun and clearly cares about the state of skateboarding.
I think he gets a lot of unnessecary shit for his contest participation (as he put it "why the fuck wouldnt I try and make as much money as I can, fuck what other people think") and his admittedly crazy gear. But I think people are starting to realize that his talent is undeniable hes starting to get some respect back.
Dude also has an INSANE background story so if you dont know what he was going thru growing up highly recommend doing some research.
Oh and yes I also cant stand Ty Evans flim style. Pretty Sweet was awesome but now he's just too off the deep end with these fucking crazy RED cameras and shotovers and stuff.
IMO he absolutely ruined Jamie Foy's "Flat Earth" part. Music and filming made it almost unwatchable.
Rewatched again in silence, yeah the music is dog shit. You know your part is a fucking banger when a sw lip down el toro is one of the "less" impressive shots haha. What a boss.

Agreed. If you watch his Nine Club interview on Flat Earth you can tell that a lot of shit he through into it were just 360 camera manipulations that he thought were waayyy too cool.

Totally. And gave some good insight into all the shitty song choices. Apparently he's a huge drum n' bass guy.
With all the content I have seen him put out on whatever social medias I follow him on, I expected to be let down. He had been release pretty dull stuff or just advertisement garbage.
I was wrong on all accounts. This part was sick. I havent seen an edit like that in a loooooong time. His skating is just unreal.

Thoughts on the new Nyjahs? They look comfy as hell. I've never skated Nike SB but I might have to try these.
That part was an absolutely banger. Clean music was kinda weird. I have a feeling that nike had a part in that.
