In my opinion, it probably comes very close. Maybe Nyjah’s very own GQ commercial campaign was slightly worse. You be the judge.
For those who don’t understand the hate Nyjah gets within the skateboarding world, look beyond what he does on a board. Think of Shaun White’s place in snowboarding and you’re on the right track. Sure, he’s the best at what he does, but he doesn’t come close to embodying what skateboarding is about to most people. Between heinous sellout ad campaigns like this, his selfish mentality at contests, his stance on who deserves to skate (“girls don’t belong in skateboarding”), crying when he loses at comps and his overall arrogant attitude, it isn’t hard to see why the skate world have tried to disown this guy.
He’s the best at skateboarding, but terrible at being a skateboarder.
That was horrible. Reminded me of a bad Wheet BIx commercial from 1996!
He is pretty much the SW of skateboarding. Sell out and a dick. I couldnt believe it when he said that shit about the girls
Girls don’t belong in Skateboarding?????
Makes Whitey look kinda good in comparison!!!!!
Hahaha what a shocker!
Doesn’t surprise me at all. I wonder what the pay check is? Other pro skaters would be peeing in laughter about this.
Remember this one? It might even be more cringeworthy (somehow).
“Kickflip Backtail Lipslide”
Surely you’re not forgetting this bad boy!
I actually like Shecks as a skater. But I hope they paid him very VERY well for this one.
havent seen that one before

I actually like this one because it’s done comically…if you’re going to do an ad for a deodorant company, that’s the way to do it without looking like a total kook.
This, on the other hand…
We shall now rename him Nyjah Kookston
Wow… that was… just horrible…
Here’s couple from Tony Hawk…
What has happened to skating, I mean filming for commercials instead of video parts. Hope the pay check is worth it boys.
