Mason is sponsored by the right companies who are connected directly to or spend the real money in Thrasher, so it's going to him
No Fred Gall? No vote.
Mason deserves it but I voted for lil b. Tom knox’s part was awesome to say the least but I don’t see thrasher ever giving it to him :'(

I don't think it makes a difference when you've had the year Mason has and to suggest otherwise is ignorant. If you're good enough for SOTY, you're probably on big companies anyways, companies that likely advertise in Thrasher, and that are aware of how good you're skating and will likely push your brand all year in hopes of capitalizing on your output. Who was the last skater that got shafted from SOTY because of who they rode for? Remember, Foy got it when he rode for Diamond footwear. When was the last time a skater won it that you couldn't make an argument that they were the best skater of the year?

Winning SOTY has never been about how good you are.It's about how much marketing (ad's, interviews, tours, videos) you did for the mag and does the mag like youThis has never been a secret and I still don't get why people don't understand this

Although this supports my argument, it's kind of hard to compare SOTY selections from the pre and post Insta age. Also, when Chris Cole won it he did have legit sponsors for the time. Fallen and Zero were both pretty big companies back then, even if Zero was in decline to some extent.

Tell me of a SOTY that you couldn't make an argument that they were the best skater that year? Of course marketing is tied into it. If someone is on a tear their sponsors and the mag are going to capitalize on that and promote them heavily because they want to showcase your talent and sell product.

I wonder how much Vans paid thrasher[close]I would have picked someone other than AVE (can't remember exactly, but I think Evan Smith might have been my pick that year. Could be mixing that up though), but he did have a sick part in Propeller and for someone of his age to be going that hard was insane. I don't think you could argue it was totally undeserved though. If Vans was paying for an award for one of their riders that year Gilbert would have been the dude.Next.

Dad shoe, off Dc lolz
Alexis Ramirez has last part in a new Sk8Mafia video that dropped today. The second song is all hammers. I love Mason and totally think it's his year but you gotta acknowledge when people really put in the work. 2020 is apparently about quality AND quantityShoutout Tom Knox
I want to fight you so badly richardPlease give me your address ill make it my life goal to punsh your face in
Is it just me or all the music in the videos kinda sucks. Idk it's all really slow and shit like that. I would like mason's footage to be set to something more fast not some airy music. Idk it doesn't fit the footage its like if your WWE walkout song was september.
