hot take… anyways, i wonder if tomorrow there will be a heavy part dropping. we’re getting into that last quarter where everything starts going wild, gx just dropped last friday obviously. hoping for another surprise baker video soon. someone on here said fa is dropping a full length sometime soonish as well. it’s about to get really interesting.

who else would you all like to see a part/full length from before december?

[goodatmeth]

I'd like to see kader skate

[winecrab]

I hate to say it but so far it's looking like it's T-funk. Gnarly part ending with trick of the year + Thrasher cover + probable part towards the end of the year. I think Hoban could get it if he puts out a heavy thrasher part and gets a cover.

[funeral_tuxedo]

more Kader plz

[SatanicPanic]

I think Hoban is kind of a cool choice just because he came blasting in out of fucking nowhere.
I saw an Emerica demo a lil over a year ago and none of us knew who he was, but he stole the show at the demo.
The team was lined up to sign stuff, I had a shop board I had bought for them to sign and when I got to Hoban and handed him the board he looked at me and said "you want me to sign it?"
I was like "yeah man!" and he seemed pretty stoked, a lot of people were just passing by him at the table.

I don’t get how a dude from Encinitas could fly under the radar like that. Did he move here from somewhere else? He definitely looks like a dude from Encinitas. Anyway, still would give it to TFunk but Hoban would be pretty rad too

Why do you hate to say it?

[jsettle]

Jeff Carly is my vote and definitely could see him getting it.

[Grrrreencans]

I would love to see T-Funk take it. He's infinitely more hellride than Louie. Better yet, I'd love to see Louie start smashing beer cans on his head and skating 10x faster. Last part a little too sterile and smiley, shoes too new, socks too white, at least for a SoTY. And the bluntslide to sexchange or whatever the fuck that was was atrocious.

[Bugsytootsie]

I hope Deedz gets it. Dudes put out like 4 parts this year and as productive as he is i could see him putting out at least one more banger to potentially seal it.

[Dwyck]

All in on funk

[sacking rails]

t funk

[manysnakes]

Louie is gonna have 15 average parts but T-Funk has the ollie and the smith-hill bomb in the GX vid and honestly that’s more than enough.

Agreed.  Those are the things we will probably best remember from this year.

[CHAZMuska]

Could a TFunk "Welcome to Vans" part be on the cards?

[FuzzGNU]

I don't think he's going to win it, but TJ Rogers' name should at least be in the mix. Seems like he's putting out a lot of parts this year, skating through chemo. Holding it down for Blind after all these years.

He said he has at least one more part coming this year which would put him up to about 4? If he's got two more parts coming that's 5. Pretty good for an old-guy SOTY candidate ("old" he's only 31) like we've seen over the years.

But he's not winning it over T-Funk or the GX guys IMO.

[switchfakie]

bobby de keyzer looking like a solid contender

his single backside flip in "heat is life" and that ben chadourne video

yall are buggin if Louie Nope-ez or T-Fuckboi wins smh

if only yall didn't have to share a single braincell, you'd be able so see and fully perceive what my beautiful essence predicts for the future

[honey island]

lou is winning it this year, and pedro is bookmarked to win it next year. stop thinking this is an actual competition lol

[PisstickleTypeExperience]

This. The GX vid could've been just him and it would still be incredible.

[White Owl]

Sadly this is the truth.

Jeff Carlyle is my soty tho

[Backfootnofoot]

There’s been a lot of Suciu hate for how many parts he threw out, which I semi-understand. At the same time, he’s not the first—Mason Silva dropped four parts during his SOTY run. Haven’t done my research but I feel like Foy dropped at ton of parts as well. And then Nigel (and few others) made an obvious and and orchestrated effort for SOTY with multiple parts and calculated drops, which have been both good and bad. Anyways, there’s the productivity SOTY angle.

The other angle could be the hellride angle. Milton, for instance. And now T-Funk, who folks are arguing should win off a single trick. Obviously, it was an awesome trick, but it was still one trick. Also the hellride angle is always rail heavy, which in my opinion, gets stale.

Just curious what should constitute a true SOTY. Personally, I’m not as sold on the hellride single trick/single hellride part run (I mean…does that mean we give it Midler? Also it always leans rails heavy, a la Kyle Walker, Foy, etc.) but im also not a fan of the overload (big Suciu fan, but even I feel like he could use a little less exposure and a bit more mystery).

Just curious… some might say…bi-curious

We can also choose our own SOTY.

SSOTY, slap skater of the year?

P-SOTY? Pals Skater of the Year?

Since this message board might be one of the largest entities living inside of the dead shell of a magazine I think our voices matter for something, especially considering how many podcasts and u t*bers cite SLAP

Could even be based on lifestyle hammers and great thread content it’s our award lol

I'll make the trophy. Dead serious I believe we do matter in some weird way to the culture of skateboarding. I think fools would be stoked honestly, just get monkey or slamcity on it to seal the deal.

I think T funk will win. I feel like there's no way that Trasher would not give it to him because of what and where and how long it took to happen.
 Also it was so beautiful.
He was all like wah pow like when I used to go bowling on LSD.

Full 270 tilt boogie
1400 ugh my godt why am I outside bowling rn style.

Seeing tricolor holograms yourselves strike and blast off into the cosmos above your head in every isle.

Dude should be on Charlie's frickin angels or something.

 Didn't Elisa say she hated that dude tho.

Maybe that's a disqualification.

Lou is my pick to win but

 I'm always going to say Lou almost every year. I know I'm not alone in this.

That cover was the most.

 I have no words.

Anyone going into cobble stone like that is 100% my fucking hero forever and ever.

IDC if FA is weak sauce. Definitely responsible for the board price hike too.

That why last time I saw 50$ boards I bought six.

I knew Dill was going to lars Ulrich the industry then  ave was going to be paying people to move the bench around the nation to the most blown out spots in history.

Bogus shit bouyz

Last year was Jon Dilo tho.. I'm not ashamed to say that at all. Mannys are my shit. He's from out here. Done deal. Vote Castro doggies

[Banned from the room]

What truck Co is Lou?

He likely Indy tho

[Banned from the room]

John Dilo rides ventures too

The entire tfunk part was gnarly. That ollie just sealed the deal.

1 good part > 4 decent ones

[Banned from the room]

I hope someone has kickfliped it by now and is keeping it hush hush.

If it hasn't happened people need to get on it. T funk did that shit easy af.

Fucking backside flip and tre should have happened by now. Where are the Olympians when you need them because I'm sure after everyone quit the team they immediately started working on those upcoming video parts for the culture.

I want to see shit like
up the bank fakie
cab flip fakie Manny on a bench fakie flip in yesterday.

Or

Just fakie everything all the time..

[lalala]

Just give it to Louie
