DAEWON SONG: THRASHER MAGAZINE SKATER OF THE YEAR ::
Daewon Song represents the best things about skateboarding—innovation, dedication, the hunt for new spots, and constantly teetering on the edge of on-board insanity. For over 15 years Daewon has amazed us with his unique approach to both tricks and terrain, and as his mind-melting mini-ramp part in Cheese and Crackers can attest, he shows no signs of slowing. There are only a handful of true legends in skateboarding and even fewer that seem to get better after 10 years as a pro. Daewon is one of them. His creativity and drive is overshadowed only by his fun-loving attitude and generosity. Thrasher magazine is proud to honor Daewon Song as our 2006 Skater of the Year.

well deserved
-
Hell yeah, hyped.
-
What has Daewon done this year besides cheese and crackers? Didn't dvs and almost come out last year? Hsu got robbed.

should have gone to ronson..
-
finally.
-
congrats to daewon, deserved this many times over
-
fuck yeah, he got overlooked last year. deserved most definately.
-
YES! YES! FUCK YES!
I woulda been stoked to see Jerry take it, but you must admit, it's overdue and better than LAST year's decision
-
overlooked last year maybe, but hsu deserved it this year.
-
Hsu got robbed.
-
damn, I don't know what to think...hsu deserved it, but daewon's deserved this for years...fuck. oh well. transworld soty?
-
so this means daewon will get like a 20 page interview in the next issue of thrasher.
-
So he gets it this year to make up for last year? Sounds like the equivalent of a make-up call if you ask me.
-
pshhh. should've gotten it a loooong time ago.
-
maybe Indy will pick him up now.
-
Jerry will win it next year without having to get any coverage and no sense will be made.
Hats off to Dae Won.
-
overlooked last year maybe, but hsu deserved it this year.
-
seeing as they're a year late on dawon, hsu will get it next year

its not the same.
i opened this and thought well no shit its gunna be jerry hsu and i see daewon and im a little more then upset. besides cheese aand crackers and the little footage he had in the krroked vid he didnt really produce anything this year. jerrys uber part was pretty much the best part out this year.
as for drehobl his krroked part was good but not amazing. except for the 360 judo i come in my pants everytime i see that.
thrasher fucked up. they might of well just given it to danny way again, even though "they cant"
-
gratz to 송대원
-
does phelps have a calendar? is he pissed about that ad? daewon is sick and very much deserving of a soty, but this year?
-
no. his sexy firemen of san francisco didnt come in last november.
-
Stoked for him, his recent interview was amazing and Cheese and Crackers is beyond gnar.
-
I find it hard to believe more people voted for Daewon over Jerry Hsu...But congratulations to Daewon.
-
likely cause most people are like me and don't pay attention to when videos actually come out...it's like... 'yeah..didn't daewon do that dvs video...and actually a tws video a while back....shit..i remember that almost video too....man...that guy should be skater of the year!'
-
O.G. WIZARD STATUS
-
Yeah Daewon kilt it this year whatever, Hsu's one part alone should have got it for him.
-
eh. i dont know. good but, i think it shouldve have been HSU all the waaaaaaaaaay. and if not him busenitz
-
Basically, Cole should've never gotten it, Daewon last year, Hsu this year. I mean, what other video will Jerry have a big ass part ike that again this next year? Osiris? Ha. He's long gone with wild offers from everyone, and WESC Clothing? Yeah right. They're sick, but won't be making any vid. Cole fucked it up for everyone, but I doubt Jerry even cares. Whatever...
-
Yeah shoulda gone daewon last year and hsu this year, but I dont think anyone can say daewon didn't need this at some point, like jsoy said.
http://www.juxtapoz.com/video/daewon.gif
-
He totally deserved it 100%, but it's just a year late.
-
sequence of the year
is that an actual street spot?
-
Jamie Thomas cemented that curb in so it would look harder to skate, but then the locals got pissed that their spot got ruined.
(http://www.juxtapoz.com/video/daewon.gif)
-
I would have been fine with Hsu getting it, but I'm really excited that Daewon got it...totally thought it was going to be him last year. I'm just all about how much fun he makes skating look.
-
long overdue.
-
The Phelps/enjoi ad fucked it up after all.
-
I think if Deawon get's his interview, it'll be one huge 20 page sequence, I mean, it's Deawon.
-
phelps said he wouldnt give it to jerry. its a blatent attempt to make up for last year but thats still really fucked it was just out of hate.
that manuel blunt kickflip at pedro is fucking insane, a blunt fakie with no manuel is close to impossible.
-
as great as daewon has been recently (although moreso last year), hsu this year has been ridiculously good. i mean his enjoi part is one of the best parts in a video i've ever seen.
-
I still cant believe chalmers made a post about someone else and not a sponsor update.

If you actually paid attention to the things Chalmers says, his last like 10 posts haven't been about him or his sponsors at all.
Would have liked to see Nick Dompierre win it, but I have no qualms at all with Daewon taking it. Well deserved.
-
I voted Hsu but daewon really deserves it too.

And his new dvs ad is nuts.

I hope this year Nick takes a shit on Hubba, bolts the caps back on and shuts that place down!
-
well deserved...congrats daewon.
-
Jerry curl will get it next year.
-
he deserves it, but Drehobl does more.
-
Well deserved - After last years DVS part and then his Cheese and crackers part ? That video opened my eyes to shit I didn't think was possible on a mini ramp. I'm sure a bunch a heshers were thinking the same thing and thought smacking your trucks everytime you 50-50 stall with all the stock tricks on mini ramps to go with it were it until that video came up.
-

Holy shit... I saw those pyramid things in Brussels this past summer and thought how sick it would be to skate "if" the ground wasn't so gnarly, the grate at the bottom wasn't so gnarly, the metal wasn't so slippery, AND the bank wasn't so steep. Daewon is a bad ass.
-
i really cant say anything that hasent been said.
i just hope jerry not getting wasnt because of some ad nonsense.
congrats to dawon.

Daewon is a tech manual faggot. they might as well have giving SOTY to rodney mullen. Daewons tricks are hard but lame. He and his hair looks like a kook

Your post is as heavy as your name - just add "kook homo" at then end and that would certify it as a true golden fairy

Hsu deserved it, but Phelps is lame. I overheard him talking about it. Somebody mentioned Hsu and he replied "One video part and no photos? No way!" Phelps is a little bitch, the enjoi ad was dead on.
-
phelps is a bitch
-
For people complaining that Daewon didn't put out enough this year, the majority of Jerry Hsu's footage was from the last couple years, not 2006. Both of them deserved it, and its a step up from last year.

No photos? What about the "Hsuper long backside 5-0"
-
maybe jerry turned phelps down when he offered to blow him
-
Hell yea.
-
it's definitely phelps and his boyocott on enjoi. same reason enjoi has had no coverage over the past year.
-
Peter Hewitt should've got it.
-
no one should have gotten it this year since there was really no one doing anything new like the years before ( cole trujillo way..)
and no one really stood out.
of course thrasher would never do this.
its nice to see dae won get it but i feel like its more like a lifetime achievement thing.

Guess you never saw Cheese and Crackers.
-
Did some body say Jerry Hsu? Oh shit !!! wait that was everybody I know. Hats off to Daewon for sure but this year belongs to HSU!!!!!!! Politics have no place in skateboarding{Phelps}
-
do you remeber when radiohead got robbed by steely dan for album of teh year.
yeah this is kind of what this is like.
-
Or like the time when Steely Dan got robbed by Owen Wilson!!
http://www.steelydan.com/heyluke.html
Phelps is creating an extremely retrograde reality matrix for himself.
-
SMOLIK!! daewon should of won last year hsu should of taken it this year and things would be in proper order chris cole screwed everything up he rips but fuck em GO EAT SOME MORE STAIRS
-
why does everyone care so much? its only thrasher, and anything phelps touches is shit.

yeah seriously. if skateboarding in 2006 is going to remembered for something, it will be hsu's part.

I'm pretty sure it's time for another magazine to step up and award an annual Intercontinental Champion (I'm looking at you, Slap).

kingpinmag as far as europe goes - i don't think they would it, because they have too much love and ideal for skateboarding in general. they want to see rather different styles and creativity then a überripper. that what think
-
It's not a just a video part that goes into SOTY. It's supposed to be photos, videos and contests as well. How many photos and interviews has Daewon had this year? His Cheese and Crackers part was insane and all of his photos have been top notch as well. I'm sure his two video parts from last year came into play, but I don't think you can take anything away from him. Chris Cole had two pretty good years in a row the year he won. He had been killing it consistently.

Isn't this thing based on the readers votes? So then why all the thrasher fucked up BS.

yeah, and i voted for daewon. here's why: cheese and crackers is fucking amazing, taking a whole type of skateboarding to a new level. on top of that, all the print coverage i saw of daewon this year was ridiculous, including his recent slap "week with" article, his sort of runner-up article in thrasher last year, and the crazy ads he's had all year for almost, boost mobile, matix, etc. add that to the fact that he easily could have won it last year for the almost video and "skate more", and its clear that daewon was the correct choice.
plus, i'm glad to see a vet get the award. it seems like the last several years its been given to younger dudes coming up (cole, appleyard, trujillo), but i like that a dude who's older is getting SOTY as an acknowledgement of the progression that he's made in the past, as well as the progression that he continues to make.
all that said, i don't think anyone who voted for daewon is dissing jerry hsu. i like jerry hsu. his part in "bag of suck" was fucking amazing. and drehbol kills it too. i just think daewon was a better choice, in that he's an innovator who contributed more than just a great video part.
-
losing your hair sucks.
-
I think Hsu has a really good chance of winning next year if he put's out another amazing part.
-
losing your hair sucks.
so does puberty, just you wait...
-

why would he put out another part next year? meaning.....for what reason/company? basically, he should go over to lakai so that those guys can have an excuse to wait until 2008 to release the video.

i was speaking from my own point of view, thank you very much.

that wasnt even this year.

SOTY isn't based on reader votes
-
and tws basing it on readers polls gives you better results? fuck..we should conduct our own awards! shit... slap should do that....let the message board decide!
-
the whole idea of holding someone up for high acclaim goes against what skating means to a lot of people. or at least it used to.
have a Skater's Hall of Fame, but this yearly awards shit is for the insurance industry and bullshit like that.
not saying that any of the skaters that have gotten SOTY or will get SOTY in the yearrs to come don't deserve praise, but come on.
-
good point isaac. and also, soty? who cares yo? it's just a title. everybody's riding jerry's nuts after his part in bag of suck so it's not like he's getting zero recognition.
-
I also think daewon deserves it, but it's a lifetime achievement, not really soty.
-
shit..then tom groholski should take it!
-
Steamer should have gotten it, she just got o nzero thats a hard team to get on!

Yeah I though so too, with all the coverage he got this year and him getting on Zero.
