Should Louie still be a contender? He seemed a safe, mag-approved pick when we first started talking about this before Foy and Tiago released parts this month, but now seems a bit of stretch unless he releases something else
He has the DLX connection over Tiago, but nothing over Foy really. In my eyes it's only between foy and tiago.
Exactly. Louie is good enough to win Tampa am and to be considered as on top of the game. However, Tiago has actually changed the game and Foy has brought something different with his chubby figure doing raaaaail nbds. I will probably forget about Louie in a few years but Tiago is guaranteed to always be mentioned in conversations the years to come. Foy too.
Depends how good Louie's part in the Converse vid is, when it releases. As much as I wish for Louie to be in contention this year, it seems as if Thrasher has groomed and handpicked Foy and Tiago as this year's two main contenders (not saying they don't deserve it), if you read the video descriptions, articles talking about them and headers of those articles, it's kinda like we're being conditioned to think this way. And we've all seen how Phelps gets on with Foy from KOTR.
I kinda view Foy as skating's Jack Black, so wouldn't mind if he won.
