The sad part for Jah is that at 13 minutes he talks about how much thought goes into things. His version on "the hardest tricks last" is wild to comprehend as most of his video parts are absolute bangers. Every trick is huge. You can also tell its done that way because he may not say it, but he wants skater of the year. After him not getting it when he dropped need that and shine on in the same year I felt like he will never get it. Love or hate him he is the tony hawk of street skating.
Well said
Lmao at Jasons first question out the gate “do you ever wear pants?” 😂😂
i felt a little aggresive that question... is like none of your business what ppl wear
@@arkaization softy
Nyjah has been doing it at such a high level for so long it’s crazy to realize he’s 29 FREAKING YEARS OLD. He’s still in his athletic prime right now. He’s got so many good years left.
Crazy right?? I remember being like 10 and he was 11 skating the craziest spots and running in games with he dreads dragging the ground. Nyjah has been my skating idol for many years. So glad he's still going all these years later.
I'm not sure, but I feel like he was at the peak right before his ACL, because after he was injured, he almost haven't won any contests and wasn't that good like he was before. But maybe he'll raise again and it's just because it's not that long ago where he has to pause. Don't get me wrong, that's just my observation since then. I love Jah and hope he's killing it in Paris.
Nyjah is a really cool dude. I love watching anything he puts out, and I really like that even though he is very likely the best street skater ever, he is humble as well. I haven't skated in 10 years, and turned 40 some months back. I could only watch so many Nyjah videos before it lit the fire again, and I am so glad it did. Although I am beyond rusty, and can barely kickflip or anything after that long of a break, I can feel it will come back with practice. It's literally what has been missing in my life. I don't even need to be amazing at it anymore, but just having skating as something to work on and gain progress in feels great to have again.
The “what?” Tony gives when he hears huston hasn’t broken a bone other than his finger is hilarious 😂
It was Jason but yea literally
Lol
Yet….
He knows what’s he can do, he perfects it and executes it! 🔥🔥
That wasn’t Tony it was the other host only thing Tony said was wow
The way Tony say “sugarcanes sick” 19:23
So San Diego 😂
Really cool interview. While not much of a skater, I was a cameraman at Vision back in the Olden Days ('1987-90). I had the great luck of watching Tony's first 9 at the X-Games live, from 20 feet away, and also shooting footage at an Etnies GvR where Nyjah showed up as a kid, and even Dave Duncan was calling him "Little Dreadlock Kid," when no one knew who he was. Nyjah ollied the stair sets there (Lake Forest), blowing everyone's minds. I was in lurktogrpaher mode both of those times. Been watching you guys for many years now as a fan. Really cool to hear you guys go deep on the details of skating at such a high level.
That game of skate between Ortiz and nyjah from 10 years ago is one of my favorite skate videos ever. Hit the rail and then hit the hubba
I’m 32 years old, had to quit unfortunately in my early 20s due to injuries, and not having health insurance. But last year during the holidays. I had made a decision to get back into Skateboarding, after getting health insurance, and now having adult money. I work for myself, and control my own schedule as a Photographer and Cinematographer. So for me seeing so many skaters who made it like Tony Hawk, and especially Nyjah all talk about Skating and doing it as they get older. What they’re doing to stay healthy and keeping in shape. Like with Neen Williams doing his fitness routines. It’s awesome seeing skaters I admired talk freely about things they’ve dealt with. Sometimes we as Skate fans, think they are just not human with some of the things they’ve been able to accomplish and overcome. It’s great to see them talk about their mindset, and show their passion for the sport and art of Skateboarding.
For me I miss throwing myself down gaps, ledges, and hitting hubbas. I wanna know what it feels like again, Nyjah last few parts certain got me hyped to get back on a board. Also seeing Antwuan Dixon back on his board got me super hyped as well. This was a great podcast overall. I do wish they asked Nyjah if he would ever grow back the dreads, or if he missed them. He had some of the sickest dreads ever, alongside with Adelmo Jr.
Edit: Thanks for all the kind words y’all. I’m certainly going to begin my Skateboarding restart this summer, after 10 years of not skateboarding.
Good luck man
Tbh I’d just do whatever doesn’t hurt and rehab good. Like my foam roller invention. The joints and back wear out super bad
3:acls and a full knee replacement. I never thought I would quit skating but it scares the shit out of me to do it anymore.
Keep shredding!
DO A KICKFLIP!!!!
Interrogating Tony about the 900. THAT'S THE KIND OF CONTENT I DO LIKE
Thank you, that was so damn good!!!! A piece of wood, trucks and wheels= endless possibilities. Beautiful to witness and be a part of. Much love!
Ten years ago never thought i would get to listen a real skate convo between these three legends
❤️
Love the “in the weeds” convos
This was such a banger on so many levels. You have Hawk who was part of that extreme sports era and created tricks and was such a good quarter pipe rider. Then you have Jah who is pushing the sport further and further just like Hawk, but on the street side. Then you have Ellis who was a good skater but never was a true comp skater. But his entire life evolved around skating and extreme sports. So seeing them all talk and respect each other is cool. They also have a real flow to it. I could watch hours of this
The in-depth skate talk was legit the best segment in a while. So much love for each others skill set and the conversation just flowed so effortlessly 👍
I love it when the conversation gets lost in the skate weeds🔥
We’ve been using the term “Hot Pocket” since the mid to late 90’s. It’s amazing how before the internet, things like that became so ubiquitous
We all read the same magazines
"ubiquitous" look at the big brain on Brad
NH's commentary is most useful in any human application. Dude doesn't even need the mother -f-in gnarliest skater title. He had guidance and structure growing up, and he's doing the math on it all - love at his age and skill level. NH is so rad and a massive contribution to the sk8 community. Always. Peace and thank you, TH/JE/NH. So much love.
The hawk of street skating!!😂
The Wolf of Wallstreet
“Sugarcane is sick” lol! Damn that couple minutes there from disseminate to that was cracking me up
Loved this. Arguably the best vert skater and street skater of all time just hanging out and talking skating. No disrespect to Ellis, he holds his own. The amount of mutual respect for eachothers craft is great too.
Incredible episode. Having the skate hero’s I grew up with with the current hero’s chop it up is just so cool. I also hope Nyjah is skating in his 50s
I have no idea who 90 percent of the guests are but when I see Tony hawk I click
Half cab body varial to frontside hurricane to fakie is almost incomprehensible to picture in the mind’s eye. Nyjah is a precession instrument of skateboarding, and it’s great the conversation stayed on that topic. Laughs abound as per usual. Haha 😆. Thank you.
Also Tony's 900 Indy that make people pumped up at X-Games in '99. My god!
Quit skating for like 15 years. Stopped when I was around 19 and picked back it back up in my mid 30’s during Covid. Learned everything all over again and the falls take longer to recover from but it’s still fun.
Right with you man about to be 31. It’s still fun, recovery does take longer man what a difference
I come here every week to get in the weeds! Love hearing from Nijah! Amazing to watch his career!! True legend !
The landing tricks in practice is not a myth Kelly Hart has said on the 9 Club that they watch practices to get a base line of what the skaters are capable of.
Three legends
You changed the world for the better mr Tony hawk! Absolute legend
JAH will prevail ♨️
nyj on the pod reachin new heights man im like 3/4ths the way through nyjah is so chill man so smooth more people needa practice the nyj oh yeah dig the mega ramp talk also the tone 9 🤘🏻🤘🏻😂
Been waiting for Nyjah to come on,this will be a banger❤
12 hrs late fellas .....
I'm looking forwards to Tonys debut on KILL TONY tonite , be there or be square
That's gonna be good!
I'm pissed ellis is t a guest as well
@@TigWeldBeast I'm hoping wolfmate gets his own spot with dingo on kill Tony
Tony had some great zingers/sniper shots that crushed
I just met him and the Disorder Skateboards pros at the Wedge spot. He's cool as hell!
Shhhhh the goats are talking
we are lucky to witness this one
The gold Indys are probably inverted kingpin that Jason is talking about
Sugar cane is sick had me howling Tony is a treasure
Been waiting on this one. 2 legends being interviewed by the coolest bald dude ever!
I am super stoked for this!
Tony! Dude you called out what I've been thinking for years. Everyone hops off their board when they get to the quarter pipes. What the ef. Its a line, the whole point is to not get off your board lol.
Nyjah is always going to be the best in my book. so inspiring
18:57 - 20:00 had me dying 💀
Great interview angle on a skater with multiple interviews. It was a fun conversation loved every second of this ep 💪🏾
💪
26:55 Im glad Tony mentioned that i noticed that too and appreciate that about The Jah
this is the best skatebaording interview of all time. thank you
such an amazing athlete, all three of these guys aha. so inspiring !
3 Good Blokes. Im happy to sit-in on the conversation.
Well done Guys.
"LiL'JpD."
need that inspired me to start skating at 25. loved this ep!
Im So Pumped For This!!! -Hells- Yeah!
Ramp up to the watertower then jump the gap on a dirtbike would be siiiiiick.
So true about injuries. Bad ligament and tendon injury is way worse than a lot of fractures because the recovery is longer and more complex.
Ive been skating for 15+ years and only broken my finger too!
I love seeing the breakdown of vert to Street trick names. I'm totally clueless. I played Tony's games a lot as a young lad and I was a shit skateboarder. I love hearing all this jargon
You are a legend jah.
Nice episode guys only podcast I watch regularly like the guests, topics and you guys are funny.
Glad he mentioned the hot pocket. Thought I was the only one that has to land perfect to avoid it.
Wait so do you mind explaining what hot pocket means
@@MRCY223 when you hyperflex your foot/ankle. it happens when you land with all your weight on one leg with your knee going past your toes, causing a hard flex on your ankle joint.
@@tylergates4075 thanks mate
I really respect Nyjah for pushing the sport to new limits. The stuff he was doing in the early Street League was amazing and revolutionary, then he goes and does similar gnarly shit in the streets. Such a goat
Rooting for the Jah during the Olympics, it’s time for the jahpocolypse
I was searching for this podcast a couple weeks ago and now it’s here thanks universe
Thanks fellas!!
Really like all the details in this ep! 🤘👽👽👽
FINALLY!! And who knew Nyjah is as bad of a "weed dweller" as Birdman!!! BUT, we've gotta get Jason Lee because I want the "ripped off" graphics conversation and Ellis's reaction!! Great show as always guys!!
Jason trying to learn new words should be it's own series. I remember back in the early sirius days Jason used to have spelling contests with callers, I don't think he ever won.
Conversations among JEDI 🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥
I used to skate at vans Milpitas all the time. Had a membership for a handful of years and that full vert was MASSIVE! I saw so many people wheeled out by EMS many times from bailing it.
I’m halfway in and just realized it. Felt like 5 mins I wish this was 2 hours longer. Love the content
💚GR8 interview, legit! Looking out for you Nyjah! 🏅
min 33:15…. look at PAPA T schoolin the youth. passively.💚
Thanks for all the great videos Guys. They are real inspirational.
❤️
so goood he mentioned evan who is just a g like nyjah to me .... they were both on element together, right? different ends of the spectrum but both the best in what they are doing
what a cool episode Two GOATS just talkin skating the whole time. Sick 🤘❤
Excellent episode, the best live in the weeds!
Another great show. Thanks Nyjah, thanks team H vs W.
Glad you enjoyed it
The Mctwist fever was real! Just found VHS footage from Bones Brigade Tour - Harrisburg PA around '90 or '91 - TH shut down the mini-ramp demo with a McTwist - "Jane Says" album playing - and landed it as Perry Ferrell is wailing in that song. So hype! Still seems magical as a trick to me. Pretty funny video autograph footage from the demo too of Kevin Harris, TH, Steve Saiz and unfortunately just a quick wave from Ray Underhill - mom Lee didn't realize who she cut off when she did that video cut. Wish there was a way to share it easily
Awesome!!!! We wanna see that video ! Can you DM us on our Hawk vs Wolf IG or email us at mercurybre@yahoo.com ?
please share it! It's rare to see footage from that tour.
Loved that one!!!
I immediately thought of Ron Allen when they started talking about longevity toward the end, still going hard.
This was a sick one!
Weed 😀Nyjah, and jason. Now am getting ready, beer and .... 😁😁
Great minds think alike I am doing the same😂
dam if you think jason is interesting then you need help
Great episode!
Was waiting for this one and it was worth the wait too short tho lowkey 😂
Never skated as a child. I started late. So late, that Tony will not be the age that I started at until two more years. While the elder Nyjah grinds a rail, my goal is to ollie a 3 stair gap, and have my casket rolled on skateboards. Happy birthday Tony. Float on my friends.
I love this content dude great shit Nadeshot and Courage. I personally love when nade is high
This was dope!
really enjoyed this one.. really cool chat... winning Tampa at 10yo .. only respect
You guys forgot to mention, after Danny took that coping flip slam, he GOT UP, WENT AGAIN AND LANDED IT!!
Great business move having the Jah on. Love you guys.
I want more skate lore. Make skating the backbone with good people who are open to it.
Awesome! Thanks!
When that first loaded up I thought Jason was sitting there with just Dungarees on - I had to look close to see the t shirt 😂
Great interview
Love from Vienna boys ❤
Hawk ( sugarcane sick ) 19:25
Just in time, the suspense was killing me
Nyjah has raised the bar so much and I see that he is progressing the sport so much. I do think he will be the oldest man to ever hit a hand rail.
Dope ass interview.
I always tell newer skaters, tight trucks help you start tricks, loose trucks help you land them
Wow I’m glad I ran scores this… Goats 🐐 🐐
Love it. More weeds please.
Let’s go !! Nyjah
Jason's qustion on judging, is something I always wanted to knoe how Nyjah felt. There are plenty of times i felt he kinda got lowballed cause of how smooth and effortless he makes these tricks seem or that they are judging him against whatever they felt they should see from him as, opposed the actual damn competition.
Thanks so much y’all!
