Well, were past the halfway point, and while theres a bunch of major videos, interviews, and contest left, who do you think is taking it thus far?
Im sure I left out someone, but Im also sure you'll all let me know which is why I gave you option #10.

-
leo romero, but jeremy rogers for the lifetime achievement award.
-
Mike V! No, wait... Terry Kennedy, I mean he is the best black skater in the world, right?
-
busenitz or leo. cant see anyone else getting it. busenitz deserves it more and has been killing it for longer as opposed to leo just recently catching everyones attention. my moneys on dennis.
-
camel filters speaking the truth
hopefully the new real video will seal the deal. is that coming out this year?
-
If the Real video drops before the buzzer I think Busenitz will take it for sure.
-
Didn't cole win it in like, 05 or am i just dumb?
My vote's on Busenitz.
-
Who even remembers who won last year?
-
Dennis or it doesn't count.

Booz N Tits all the Way! Dennis B for definite!!!!!
-
dennis, heath, leo
-
kellen james has had quite a year.
I'm voting Leo, though. I doubt the REAL video is gonna drop in time.
-
oh Busenitz, without a doubt, hes absolutely killin' it, video part or not I think he deserves it
-
Dennis or it doesn't count.
-
how is kirchart even being considered for this? he has done fuck all compared to people like chris cole or dennis or even lizard
-
can't wait for Dennis' speech.
"thanks" *walks off the stage*
-

i guess you missed mind field, or the interview that followed.
-
matt pailes, he had that one photo in TSM
-
Dennis for skater's skater, but Leo always has the gnarliest stuff. Stefan Janoski needs to win one of these years!
-
can't wait for Dennis' speech.
"thanks" *walks off the stage*
hopefully, definitely one of the raddest things about him

heath is leading right now, but dennis will probably take it once the real video drops. stay gold could be a factor too. think its between these two guys.

so that fag puts out 1 part and 1 interview in the past 5 years and somehow people think he is a lead contender for soty? chris cole does that shit every couple of weeks. you people only believe heath should win soty because his poor social skilled dick is too deep in your mouth to say anyone else.

okay you convinced me. dumbass.

Haha!
My man Booze and Tits better win. I don't care what he puts out....if Thrasher is all about having a biased opinion and making their mag look good, then he is the top contender. Just don't expect a big acceptance speech by him......man of very few little words.

ehhh, i kinda agree. As much as i love Heath (i LOOOVE him), the honor of SOTY should go to someone whose been consistantly churning out shit over the past year. Coverage-wise, Dennis, Cole, and Leo have been pretty omnipresent.
If Heath's Emerica part turns out to be as amazing as everyone assumes it is, he'll definitely still be in the running. A banger part in January (Mind Field), and another banger part at the end of the year (Stay Gold). Two good bookends.
-
i'm not sure i think it should be about who's working the hardest, for me it'd be more who's getting the most hype on thier footage\photos. cole lookes like a constipated ape that just raided hot topic and i don't think i can remember a single time that i've been stoked enough on any footage he got this last year that i actually talked with anyone about it. booz on the other hand has always got some clip that everyones hyped on that you can mention to just about anyone and they will instantly know what your talking about and be hyped on it. even his demo footage gets more hype than coles full parts.
-
I'm definitely going with Dennis on this one.....dude is so sick and should have...in my opinion...got it already but whatever.
-
dennis by far. i think cole is a contender, but there's always been a clear difference in the quality of their skating that puts dennis ahead in any type of comparison to me. maybe it's just me though, but i feel like if dennis doesn't win it this year, skateboarding needs to call bullshit.

How is buesnitz winning? he put out one lame part and that's it. Shane oniell is the only skateboarder that's put out two good parts this year, but he could never win because he's am, and he's actually amazing.
-
cole lookes like a constipated ape that just raided hot topic
Thats the best description of Cole i've ever read.
-
Heath
-
surprised dompierre isn't very hyped. he has been killing it. bs noseblunt and kick flip crook on that hubba.
-
i dont understand how you guys can hardly mention leo as a almost sweep in. buesnitz is deffinitly an amazing skateboarder but hes had one video part that was really good but every ad leo has put out was so amazing his interview was nuts and his rvca part was really good and was like a emerica throwaway part. Also probably one of the most smazing gnarly covers in skateboarding mags, I would assume stay gold will come out before they announce soty and i mean comon leos gonna have last part, hes gonna fuck shit up and deserves soty more than anyone
-
leo. he had that full rvca part. the up-rail frenzy cover/interview in skateboarder. he just had that 'in photos' feature in the newest skateboarder mag.
plus all of his up rail footage, demo killings (zumiez couch tour, united park or w/e), upcoming emerica (probably) last part. also wasn't there talks of a toymachine promo dropping this year?
and did anyone see his welcome ad for toymachine? that 5-0 on that long as rail? fucking sick.
i think he deserves more than busenitz. shoot me
-
looks to me like it's mostly between busenitz and cole... maybe their batb match should decide who gets soty? jk
-
ok, other mags interviews and covers DONT count towards SOTY. Its all thrasher content/covers and then there's video parts that have been put out
whoever has a better part in phelps eyes and has more coverage in thrasher will take it
-
surprised dompierre isn't very hyped. he has been killing it. bs noseblunt and kick flip crook on that hubba.
dude shreds. i was thinking the same thing. his part should be sick too. dude's the silent assassin of new bedford's ghetto spots.

As much as I'd like to see Dennis get it I think Grantlanta deserves it. Two fucking amazing parts. A bunch of interviews and that one Skateboarder Mag cover.

he also had that slap interview in the last printed slap. was that this year? coverage wise, hes everywhere... you make a good point.
-
I've just recently been very stoked on Grant Taylor. He skates proper. Wehereas dennis busenitz consistantly stokes the fire.
-
I heard Heath has beef with Thrasher, so it's unlikely to be him. As much as Leo has been killing it this year (and every other one) my money's on Busenitz. But if Stay Gold and the Real video drop this year, it may be too close to call.

just because he did it on the cover of Skateboarder, doesn't mean the trick ceases to exist.
I guess Leo 50/50'ing up an 8 stair was a figment of all our imaginations since, you know, it didn't happen on the cover of Thrasher.

I know it's Thrasher but still. What I'm trying to get at is that he's been killing it and getting shit done everywhere. Not just in Thrasher.
-
i have to agree with a lot of whats being said, depending on what videos sneak in before the award is givin out, things could change quick.
but.....
thats why i put who do you think is winning so far.
hard to debate it with out thinking ahead though.
im alos suprised nick dom is getting so little love.

Quote directly from Skate and Destroy: The First 25 Years of Thrasher Magazine. Nobody's winning because of a Transworld part, or because of an interview in a different mag.

People actually believe this garbage that because Heath isn't a media whore he hasn't put out some of the best coverage of the past year? Its called quality control- when you see footage or a photo of Heath, it will blow your mind. Who cares if Leo Romero grinds up every rail that is under knee high in So Cal and releases photos of himself constantly, it doesn't even compare.
But Heath shouldn't get it, and the only reason I say that is because Dennis Busenitz exists. The dude is everything good about skating, he skates fast, has enormous pop, he has insane control, and if you have ever seen him skate in person, you know that he is consistent as hell, and skates even faster than it seems in videos. His recent coverage in real ads has been insane, not to mention his part in that adidas video. Anytime a new Busenitz ad comes out its a conversation piece, and the dude isn't even a traditional "hammer" type skater- he's just a beast. In an age where generic kids are starting clothing lines and getting their pictures on the cover of sears catalogs and ads in times square, Busenitz has kept the spirit of real street skating alive and well.

As much as Gipper and I don't agree about Wenning, he's dead on regarding Busenitz.

I think you're a great poster, one of the best. But this is one of the rare occasions I disagree. You say he has no tricks and he does mediocre shit with bad style. Alright, style is subjective. But his footage speaks for itself.. he hits the gnarliest rails, all kinds of gaps to rails, insane pop, full speed lines doing tricks across entire ledges. And he DESTROYS demos. So I seriously don't understand why you refuse to accept his skills.

The thrasher award doesn't really matter. The question is more like, "Who's skating have you liked the best over the past year?" Thrasher gives the award every year, and often its not the person others thought skated the best. Then when the subjective award comes out, we can all bitch that somebody else should have won, and that Jake Phelps is an asshole who doesn't know shit about shit. Basically, this is all just one big long set up for an annual thrasher hate fest.
And no, I've never met Leo Romero, but I would assume he is a charming and charismatic fellow. I'd assume that is how he has gotten 90% of his sponsors, interviews, and coverage.
