He was talking about over 10 years ago when Nyjah was like 18. I met him 6 months ago at a random park in northern Cali. He was by himself just skating a flat bar and he was hella cool tbh. He was chillin and skating with us. We got an autograph and picture and when he was leaving be gave us each a pair of his shoes. Best experience ive had meeting a pro.
This isnt the only story ive heard of him being a dickhead. He simply chose to be nice to you that day, but a lot of the other times hes a douchebag. its all good tho, money and fame, what do you expect?
he has def changed, also got to meet him and he was super chill. I think Nyjah dumping Chase Webb out of his circle helped, Chase seemed to love to bully and trash any skater not on his level. @@xiii.storee
I would see Nyjah at EPIC skatepark in Rocklin back in the day. I showed up to play and he showed up to practice. I would skate every obstacle all over the park. He would show up to practice one particular trick on one particular obstacle. He would do nothing besides the one trick he was working on that day. 'kickflip noseblunt' 'kickflip noseblunt' 'kickflip noseblunt' over and over until he was landing it perfect every time. Then the next day it was something else. Then he would take all the tricks he had worked on and put them into one crazy ass line.
Holding someone accountable for some shit that happened over a decade ago? Plus dude looked like a young black Reynolds with that hair. Even the guy is laughing at himself now.
Jarrell is such a good dude. Lamont is a good homie for keeping it a bean about his hair / swag at that time, which is low hanging fruit, that’s easy to punch down at. As a black man, I felt that, I was a punk/hardcore/metal nigga with similar swag, and dealt with the same shit.
As someone who watched Nyjah when he had dreads at Tampa and at least 15 years later see him show up, no dreads, arrives late, kickflip over the box to back tail down the down rail bigspin out first try. We all know the crazy Nyjah party stories, but I like watching Nyjah SKATE, Jordan was a shitty teammate. This guy is like Muhammad Ali or Tiger Woods, you can't expect him to be normal, he's insane already.
i met nyjah last summer, told him I was a fan and even got a picture with him. The entire time he didn't say a word to me or make any eye contact so that for what you will
Idk why y'all are surprised to find out messed up shit about people you look up to. You like whoever skater you like because of their skating. Once in a while some of those skaters also happen to be a dope person. However, the saying, "Never meet your heroes" exists for a reason.
Nyjah usually keeps it real, at my local he’s always been cool to me but always vibed out the guy who ended up catching some weird charges and isn’t allowed near skate parks anymore so he’s not always wrong 😂😂
hahhah your edit on that clip had it hit different, i didnt realize how many layers classic!.. homie had a full illustrious pelt and nigel pat the pet!
We have all known Nyjah has been accused of being a sick by multiple people over the years, I think hegotrecognizedat a young age, and when he was able to run free from his Dads supervision he went crazy on self absorbed mode, not saying it’s okay because bullying is never okay,but we all know what it’s like being young, we sometimes get off on others expense to look “cool” we all know as adults it’s not okay, but as a teenager this is what happened a lot,especially in the skate community, as much as we act like it’s a family, back then it was very cliquey, and if you didn’t meet the requirements of what they think you’re supposed to dress like, prepare to get roasted,I have done it to others unfortunately, but I can’t saythat makes him an asshole forever, people do change, can’t say if he has don’t know him personally but he has seemed to calm down at least
So y’all may not know this I’m a put you on game because I grew up in LA and I’ve been around a lot of pro skaters but when you start doing tricks just to solely impress them, they hate that shit they call it like beaming or something it’s like every time you do a trick you look up at them just see like did you see me do it, it’s frowned upon in the Pro Skater community and also you’re not supposed to be skating for approval so once he said I was like trying to get him to seethat I was doing these heel flips I already knew what the story was going to go don’t do that bro just be yourself and skate for yourself. If your shit is good people will recognize it but don’t seek attention through skateboarding. That’s one of the biggest problems in the skate community way to many pick me traits at parks exactly why I don’t like going to skate park.
Its not that bad. I had a emo fringe when I was younger, always flicked it to the side haha. its funny and cringe how I looked and acted back then. It did get me into a few fights. Not everyone is going to see things your way but that should be ok. Your hair's funny looking, some people might say you got pig tails. Its not a bad thing, just different. The last and only time I had my hair done up with corn rows my friends were calling me Shinequa or something like that.
When I Met Mike V in 2023 and Braydon Szafranski in 2019 they never turned me away for a pic or laughed at me at all they were cool so there’s some cool people in this world
When I was a jitt, Gershon Mosley broke my heart at Tampa Pro 01’ or 02’. We had to be all of 11 or 12 years old. My homie and I asked for a pic / autograph, (post A-Team days) outside the main park gate near half-pipe outside. mane not only said “No” which is his prerogative, and respectfully even, but mane went the distance to rudely dismiss some black groms in front of his peers / our idols embarrassingly. Til this day i want a convo with mane about that.
Ya gotta understand when u at the top you got sh** to do, of course buddy don't wanna waste his time with lames 😂😂 I fuc* with nyjah he's did so much in skating you have to respect em
@@LukeZ-go1cv it was how many years ago and you can't please every single person you see damn lol, I bet buddy would sign his deck now if he asked lmao
I’d make fun of dude also… anyways all those Element Nyjah boards aren’t even the same shape Nyjah even skates. It’s a random shape that’s made out in China… dude you came up to me and said man I got that deck. I’d clown on you so hard. Man you gotta jus act like they jus like you and done be trying to ask questions and even try to skate with them unless they come at you.
I'm a huge nyjah fan an he's USA my favorite contest skater but let's talk about when celebs embarrass you like one for me I met steveo on his tour an 1 person asked for his back tattoo picture an he did an I was the next in line an I also asked for the back tattoo an he Moaned an groaned at me embarressing me in front of all his crew an fans lol I guess I got what I payed for cause he was definitely a jackass but after he moaned he calmed down after.
Bro skaters made fun of emo kids thats just how it use to be cause we are tough group we always looked at emo kids as soft and that was a emo hairstyle🤷♂️
