Thrasher Magazine celebrates its Skater of the Year 2018 Tyshawn Jones with a SOTY video titled “It’s a Movie, Kid!”

Tyshawn Jones, who is signed to adidas and Supreme, headed to Miami and Puerto Rico alongside fellow skaters Kevin Bradley and Kevin White, Na-Kel, Whokid and more and captured the eventful trip for Thrasher Magazine.

“It’s a Movie, Kid!” sees the acclaimed skaters kickflip, ollie and 5-0 through the tropical streets, before heading out to explore the nightlife and dark streets with pro skaters, tour guides and girlfriends joining the SOTY gang.

Complemented by a low-key backing track, the film flips from high-intensity and incredibly daring skating to more intimate moments captured at night. Watch the video above, and to read more about the SOTY “It’s a Movie, Kid!” video, head to Thrasher’s website for the interview.
