English Skateboarding (Atlantic Drift + Palace)

Louie has put out a lot of quality stuff this year and overall makes skateboarding look super easy, but I gotta go with Foy for the casual hammers.
-
Tiago?

Should be Shane. Also, don't know how you can leave Tiago out of it.

Last name Gall, first name Fred

The closest I can think of is Kyle Walker turned pro then got SOTY the next year.

http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/shake-junt-s-flavor-country-video/ Foy has well over a minute of sick street footy towards the end of this, most notably a backside 50 gap out on the rail Dan-Lu hit fs in Propeller (i think?). Nuge ate shit there aswell.

Park footy but the front crook to feeble at @0:42 is fucking beautiful.
PS is it possible to embed links from the thrasher site?
-
Tiago got the meanest as/bs/ts in the game but Jamie’s 5050 shuv gave me a 3/4 chub
-
I would like to see Louie get it. That spitfire part was bananas and his tampa run was equally bananas.
But there's been a lot of hype around Jamie this year. Either would be a worthy candidate.
-
You know Louie is going to drop one more part
-
I don't like either. Go ahead and turn my rep down fuckin sissies. Happens every time i don't agree.
-
Louie C.K.y.
-
Tough call. Could go either way. Both deserving. Tiago did some gnarly shit, but I don’t see it.
Foy’s El Toro tricks definitely tip the scale for me.
-
Last name Gall, first name Fred
-
didn't Tiago have a poor showing against Wade D at the Dime contest?
-
Doesn't Foy have another part out next month for the Ty Evans video? Supposedly all his best footage, including the El Toro front crook, will be in that part. What's the cutoff for SOTY?
-
didn't Tiago have a poor showing against Wade D at the Dime contest?
Yep, but he won the Berra challenge at the same contest. Also he has a new part dropping in 2 weeks....
-
I think Thrasher puts up voting and speculations at the end of this month/early December. The Shep Dawgs vid is dropping along with whatever surprises others have in store, No Other Way came out just before voting and there wasn't much else people were going to choose. I know who isn't getting SOTY, Nyjah.
-
I hope when Enjoi puts Pilz' part out its more bonkers than his KOTR shit. That should be out soon.
-
Tiago, Louie, Foy, Mike Arnold or Lucien Clarke.

English Skateboarding (Atlantic Drift + Palace)

louie rips but doesn't have anything special. you know like daam or foy or taigo or nugget or even nyjah. he's super productive and good but is just so generic and boring. i'm going to get kooked for this but with all the overload in footage productions parts every 2 seconds you got to break the mold to stand out where you can say this is psycho.

Never thought Louie would win SOTY before Luan

I love the way Laun does tricks but fuck me that guy cannot put together a good looking video.
-
My first pick is Tiago, but if I had to choose between Foy and Louie, I've got Louie. He has better style and can finesse a line together. Politically, Louie seems to be in better camps than Tiago. He's got the DLX connect with Spitfire. I'm not sure if that means shit of course.
Complete aside, but I'm hoping after seemingly taking a year off coverage-wise, Jake Johnson can make a case in 2018. Quasi project and maybe he'll get a converse colorway like his boy Al Davis. I can also imagine GX1000 has something up their sleeve.
-
Tiago is my pick but he isn't getting the nod.
Remember the soty tours????
No way Jake wants to spend a few weeks with Tiago
My guess is foy gets it

I wish Jake for colorways more often. Heck even Eli reed has a capsule coming out.

I think Garshell has been helping Ben Chadourne out with the Cons video? So, not quite a GX production, but still an outlet for some Jake Johnson footage.

would be stoked on either both rip

Was talking about this in another thread. I think Arto may have, I'm not sure if he got the bump right at or after Menikmati and he won in 2001. But, SOTY was way different back then, and not what it currently evolved into.
A few guys weren't pro for that long before they won it. I don't think Ishod, GT or TNT were pro for longer than 18 months before they won.

Where is Thrasher supposed to release the nominations, I feel they're going late.
My soty contenders in order so far...
Tiago
Louie
Jamie
Shane
Riley's dad son
-
I see no potential in Foy having a historical significance, besides from being really, really good.
Louie and Tiago challenges the status quo on a whole other level and both would stand out, as having contributed to skateboarding and showing of directions.
I've even got Zion Wright as my potential third pick, as he has had the balls to show a personal approach to skateboarding, rather than just adding another half floor to an existing, exceeding the limits of the foundation with close to nothing + I can't stand watching Foy's Red Bull cap, that looks like it has been dragged across a dive bar floor at 4 am. It's a vile last remark, but I can't stand it honestly.

yeh, fair enough. I'd be surprised if they even linked it on the voting profile, when it releases.

Is Phelps still in the hospital since that slam? I hope someone with actual brains makes the call this year and Tiago will get it. But its not gonna happen obviously.
el toro fs crook is fukkd

can't seem to get this up but can't forget Big Lou in Thrash and Burn!!

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this.
Tiago.

No way Jake wants to spend a few weeks with Tiago
My guess is foy gets it
Ahah I love that this award is now about vacation planing of Jake phelps and not to who was the best skater,
And Tiago was the best.
-
Knowing Phelps, my guess is Foy.
Tiago is unreal, but not really the Thrasher image. Who knows, maybe they'll throw him a bobble head?
-
Tiago all the way.
-
Also the fact that Foy's front cover says "The People's Champ"... Kinda feels like they might start drilling it into our heads that he IS the "People's Champ" despite the fact that the majority of people might not vote for him.
-
Tiago won't win because putting out the best footage of the year is not enough. He has my vote.
I admit I'm not a huge Jamie fan but reading here that he front crooked El Toro gave me chills.
-
I talked to the Phelper earlier in the year and he said he'd have a hard timing giving SOTY to a newly turned pro, wants them to pay their dues by keeping the progression going for at least a couple years in the spotlight. It's gonna be Louie cause he's more versatile and been in the game a bit longer.
-
Anyone know when the converse vid is supposed to drop? Remember Aaron Herrington talking about it on the bunt. I'd be surprised if it dropped this year since its already November and it looks like they're still filming but if it did I feel like that'd give Louie a huge boost for SOTY. Also is he still even on flip? Spray painted board on the cover makes it seem like he's gotta be jumping ship.
-
MIKEY PAPA 4 SOTY

Him on chocolate would be rad especially with those new spots that opened up on their team

I could still see Foy getting it just for how much he's been in Thrasher this year, especially with KOTR.

Yeah I was thinking chocolate or real would be sick but real already has a huge team. Maybe he'd go to a somewhat newer board company that has riders he already knows through converse

He'd be a perfect fit for Chocolate. I feel racist for thinking that. Get Kadow on the team to diversify a little.

If he goes the DLX route, Krooked would be way sicker.

As long as it's Tiago or Foy, I'll be happy. Both have had so much memorable stuff this year and each with style. Louie just doesn't have the style of those two.

Yea Luan has done some really amazing shit. Louie just seems more out there coverage wise with the right people,hence why he gets a SOTY nod. There's still two weeks left until voting usually begins,thats a lot time for heads to blow minds with a video part

Well I'm not saying he's bad or anything.. I think it's the filmers and editors he works with that make his parts seem kind of bland. I wonder what a Luan part with Bill Strobeck, Benny Maglinao or Colin Read would be like... Anyways, not to derail the thread.. carry on. Foy seems like Thrasher's prime candidate with all his coverage and spots on the Thrasher trips this year. Louie is so fucking smooth though. Tough call like always.
-
Does anyone think Jackson Pilz has a shot at SOTY?
-
I've been calling Louie since February. Jamie rips but I think Louie deserves it solely based on how long he's been killing it and progressing.

I"m not claiming Luan for SOTY, I'm refuting the fact that he's never put out a good video part, when the one I posted above was amazing.
-
Jamie Foy is the people's champ
-
I fully understand that Tiago isn't Thrasher's style. I will still be voting Tiago if I get the chance, for whatever it's worth.
-
The "isn't thrasher enough" card is overplayed.
Marc Johnson won it
So did Daewon Song
Mike Carroll and Eric Koston aren't hesh dogs.
Not saying Tiago is a shoo in, but he's not a guaranteed no either.
-
Tiago because he has changed the game, the switch one that is.. But then again Tory Pudwill's Big Bang changed the game and he was still passed over.
Jamie Foy: great image and footage but has to pay more dues. His genre-defying body habitus make him funnest to watch.
Louie: may suffer the Busenitz curse.
Although he will never get the right coverage, everything I see of Cody Lockwood looks like a Thrasher cover.
-
Just figured out Louie is not Brazilian or from South America......
-
He's definitely something
