Shocking moment America pro skateboarder Tyshawn Jones is inexplicably KICKED off his bike by a random stranger while cycling around Paris
In a shocking moment captured on video, American professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones was seen being kicked off the bike he was riding in Paris.
The video was recorded by an associate of the New Jersey resident, who drove through the streets behind him.
As Jones takes in the sights and weaves through the streets, another cyclist is seen coming up next to him and kicking out his leg, hitting the cyclist and causing the skater to fall to the road.
Fortunately, the 25-year-old was not seriously injured and in another video he said he tried to overtake the motorcyclist but “just couldn’t catch him.”
“I just want to have a conversation with the brother, like, you know, why would you do that to such a good person?” he said in a video on Instagram, asking his followers if they knew the cyclist’s identity .

Jones tried to find the person responsible but was advised by Adidas to let the situation go
Jones promised to return to the site of the kick at “same time, same hour, right on the dot” to try to see the cyclist again.
The skater is in France for Paris Fashion Week, according to the person who shot the video – who works for Adidas.
Adidas has a line of Tyshawn Jones sneakers and apparel, including his own signature skate shoe.
Despite his continued desire to search for the cyclist, Adidas’ representative – Jascha Muller, global director of sports marketing – advised him to give up the search.
“I have to take it up to the chin,” Jones said. “I think I’m going to let this guy slide. It really burns a whole in my heart, but I’m going to be the bigger person this one time and that’s it. Peace and love.’
Jones is a two-time winner of skateboarding magazine Thrasher’s Skater of the Year award.
