Which SOTYs had a better year than the year they won SOTY? Maybe there year where they threw down harder than the year they won SOTY but someone threw down even harder, kinda like Suciugate.
-
I remember thinking Ishod could have won it two years in a row
-
Ishod for sure. Also Daewon.
-
The award is silly anyway because people like SBN have won it
-
AVE.

Definitely. And then you look at the list of legends who didn't win it... It shouldn't be taken too seriously, just a bit of fun :)

06 shoulda been Jerry.

who won over jerrys bag of suck video?

Daewon, IIRC.

Maybe. But he went HARD that year..

Grant. His skating was better in any of the 3-5 subsequent years after he won.
(And Busenitz should have gotten it in 2011)

Also, David Gonzalez was a terrible pick. All I can tell you about this dude is that he has a fetish for rock and roll and he sticks his tongue out a lot. Couldn't tell you anything about his skating.
Jerry should have gotten it. And for good measure, fuck Emerica for dropping him.

I guess Jerry wasn't thrasher enough. His SOTY trip would've been awesome but pretty weird for thrasher. Then again SBN was even less hellride. Anyone know who went on his SOTY trip?
-
Tony Trujillo won it the year PJ WHL came out.
Danny way won it for inventing snowboarding in 2004 while Duff man had two heavy parts and shoulda won it that year.
SBN rules and deserved his.
-
The obvious is Koston who IMO had a better 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2007
Ishod could've won any year in the 2010's
Theres also an argument that mid 2000s BA is his best self
Daewon, Ave on the list too but those awards felt like lifetime achievements.
Edit: lol @ the posts that understood the question wrong.
-
Arto got his the year before Sorry came out.
-
Definitely Ishod
Never understood the SBN hate for getting SOTY. He had 4 parts that year, yes?
-
Arto got his the year before Sorry came out.
wait is that right? edit: damn it is. as soon as I saw that I was like oh then the Sorry year must have been Rowley's but he won the year before Arto. so there's two answers.
i also always have to remind myself that Reynolds won his before Baker/any of the classic Emerica videos.
-
While I don't think he would deserve SOTY any other year, even perhaps the year he got it...
But since the question is phrased who had better skate years other than the year they won, I would have to go with Tony Hawk. He got the first SOTY in 1990, and had had many, many better years since then.
In fact, I would argue that Tony had had the most better years other than his SOTY year.
Opinions?

Shit, SBN continues to prove time and time again that he fucking rips at everything. He was the standout that year and I'm glad he got picked. It also showed you didn't have to be the biggest name to get it. You just had to skate at that level.

egh. depends on how you want to grade it. SOTY is kind of thrasher's version of "video part of the year" and/or most prolific skater and late 80s early 90s was when Powell Peralta was churning out videos.
but if we are talking impact on skateboarding and culture in general, has any skater ever had a bigger year than he did in 99? can't think of anyone even in that same conversation.

Tony Hawk in 1990:
Only won sad Del Mar and NSA contests
Vert was dying
On his first and his shortest marriage to date
looked like a woman (https://i.redd.it/9loo6gbrv0a41.jpg)
Tony Hawk in 1998/1999
Did 900
Won the Xgames
Won Vans Triple Crown
Birdhouse The End came out
Tony Hawk Pro Skater Came Out
On his second and longest marriage to date
Looked like an alpha male (https://files.thefacecdn.com/images/_1200x630_crop_center-center_82_none/Tony-Hawk-resized.jpg?mtime=1563804505)
I'll let you decide.

David Gonzalez. Like wtf. That was the hardest thrasher has ever kooked it.
Needless to say that the fact that Guy never got it is criminal. They wouldn’t even give him a lifetime achievement one the way they did with AVE.
I think it’s safe to say that thrasher is probably the kookiest mag out there. Ban me.

Came to say Tony Hawk, but Jerry beat me to it. Does anybody really thing that 1990 was Tony's best year?

Wasnt Fully Flared released the same year? I remember buying them together, I dont know if Jerrys part was pre Youtube but I cant really say its influence was visible until a few years after, just like all good art?

This is Ishod yesterday, he’s only getting better. He could’ve taken it for that Return of the Mack part or any other year.

Reynolds has had better years than 98.

Fully Flared didn't come out until a few Years Later in 2009, Jerry was well into his scenes by then & had already switched from Osiris to Emerica

Bag Of Suck and Fully Flared were released almost two years apart. Bag Of Suck was released in March of 2006 and Fully Flared was in mid-November of 2007

As someone who isn’t a huge SBN fan I actually like that he won because he’s one of the very few winners out of Thrasher’s comfort zone. I don’t even know what he did that year but I’ll pretend it was for his Away Days part, which was the highlight of that video and no one has ever mentioned it since the month it was released.

i thought it was a cool thread topic and instead it's turned into "who should have beat David Gonzales?"

Tom Penny’s best year was definitely his SOTY year, even though he didn’t win SOTY. The same holds true for Guy.

I think he looked cooler in 1990.

answer is vov
also:
lol @ the posts that understood the question wrong.
-
Daewon should have won the year prior for Skatemore and Jerry should have won the year he won.
Koston could have won any year he dropped a major part from Falling down to yeah right. Same probably applies to Reynolds from The End to Stay Gold. Personally I though Stay Gold Reynolds was peak Reynolds and Yeah Right Koston was his peak. This probably also applies to Daewon and it will probably apply to Ishod.
-
i've got no one new to nominate but isn't it kind of cool when people get even better after they get soty? thinking of ishod right now even though that chronicles 2 part was craazy

This is a just a shit take. Silas absolutely ripped through 2006-2008 so wrapping up with SOTY 2008 was appropriate. Who else do you think should have won it?
Ryan Sheckler ripped that year too with Superfuture, Bust or Bail and Slaughter at the Opera House but he was also in full-blown MTV Life of Ryan mode so "core" skaters brushed him aside.
Maybe David Gravette, but who knows if Phelps really counts the Transworld videos (And Now).

Holy shit dude what drugs are you on? You are on the internet obviously. There is a this thing called Google. You could easily look up the year Silas won (2008) and the year Away Days was released (2016) and then realize you are about 8 years off. Good thing you are not old enough to vote.

Silas deserved that shit. Same with David G. "Possessed to Skate" is a lame ass title, but u cant deny dude killed it.
I get why they get the hate tho. Up until that point it was like a legends only club...Reynolds, Rowley,Hawk, Arto, BA, Koston, Bob, Dway, etc.
Silas and David def earned that shit tho, but i think David g gets the most hate.
I wanna say dude got on flip maybe 04/05 and I remember watching him in those F'east videos( anyone remember those?) skating w all the sorry guys and I thought he fit right in. Natural talent. Some what of a Rowley protege to an extent. As he grew up he kinda went overboard with the rock n roller persona (imo) but his skating was always next level. I honestly enjoyed him more as a kid, had more "class" to his skating.
Also.....does anyone remember the 03 SOTY Issue. They had the Appleyard interview, a list of Pros who never won in the past but should/could of, and then a list they called "The Heavies". Guys who they predicted would win in the future.
First list was
Gonz
Muska
Penny
JT
"The Heavies" were
Jerry Hsu
Bastien
Then like 2 other dudes. Does anyone remember who they were? I wana say Cole & maybe Busenitz??

It was the 2005 issue, with the Danny Way SOTY retrospect. The "heavies" were Bastien, P-Rod, Zered, Chris Cole, Darrell Stanton, and maybe someone else I can't remember. Jerry Hsu wasn't included.
Also, it was Pat Duffy, not Tom Penny.

Ok bet, Duffy but no Penny, alright. Heath?
That heavies list is/was Dope and i do remember darrell being in it, but i swear jerry and bastien were on that list the same year. Jerry had a back noseblunt foto that ended up in bag of suck. Pretty sure Busenitz was on it too.
Also...to answer the original question of the thread, my initial thought was AVE, but "Jerrys Kid" pushed me towards team Tony '99.

Joslin ripped way harder than a lot of kats who won for a few years.

I know this isn't really related to the topic thread, but since everyone is mentioning Jerry...
I love Jerry Hsu as much as the next guy, but if he won in 2006, then SOTY should just rename itself to Video Part of the Year because Jerry didn't do jack shit besides film for Bag of Suck. It was one of the greatest parts of all time, but the dude said himself that he only skated weekends leading up to the video drop and completely stopped skating after the part came out.
In 2006, Daewon put out his ender in Skate More, put out Almost Cheese and Crackers, and had a part in Get Familiar, all less than 2 years after he had the last part in Almost Round 3. Each of which involved a completely different style of skating.
Now it's common for guys to put out multiple parts in a year, but it was unheard of back in 06.

Which SOTYs had a better year than the year they won SOTY? Maybe there year where they threw down harder than the year they won SOTY but someone threw down even harder, kinda like Suciugate.

Anyways, I wasn’t around back then but Carroll’s Goldfish part is not as memorable compared to questionable, modus, yeah right, or fully flared. I could be way off base here but why did he win in 94?
Also did Cardiel have a noteworthy part in 92? I mean he’s probably just always killed it, but it seemed like he was was on a tear when I started skating from 2000 to his injury.

Skate More was '05. He also had first and last part in the FKD video in '05. For that reason I was actually going to say, Daewon is probably the best answer to OPs question. I think he went harder in 96,97,99,01, 04 and 05 than he did 06 - it's more just that 06 marks the end of insane run of form. Or maybe I'm showing a prejudice against lip tircks? It was still a crazy year for him...

Silas deserved that shit. Same with David G. "Possessed to Skate" is a lame ass title, but u cant deny dude killed it.
I get why they get the hate tho. Up until that point it was like a legends only club...Reynolds, Rowley,Hawk, Arto, BA, Koston, Bob, Dway, etc.
Silas and David def earned that shit tho, but i think David g gets the most hate.
I wanna say dude got on flip maybe 04/05 and I remember watching him in those F'east videos( anyone remember those?) skating w all the sorry guys and I thought he fit right in. Natural talent. Some what of a Rowley protege to an extent. As he grew up he kinda went overboard with the rock n roller persona (imo) but his skating was always next level. I honestly enjoyed him more as a kid, had more "class" to his skating.
Also.....does anyone remember the 03 SOTY Issue. They had the Appleyard interview, a list of Pros who never won in the past but should/could of, and then a list they called "The Heavies". Guys who they predicted would win in the future.
First list was
Gonz
Muska
Penny
JT
"The Heavies" were
Jerry Hsu
Bastien
Then like 2 other dudes. Does anyone remember who they were? I wana say Cole & maybe Busenitz??
Also, it was Pat Duffy, not Tom Penny.
Ok bet, Duffy but no Penny, alright. Heath?
That heavies list is/was Dope and i do remember darrell being in it, but i swear jerry and bastien were on that list the same year. Jerry had a back noseblunt foto that ended up in bag of suck. Pretty sure Busenitz was on it too.
Also...to answer the original question of the thread, my initial thought was AVE, but "Jerrys Kid" pushed me towards team Tony '99.
I just looked at that mag yesterday. Neither Jerry nor Busenitz was on it. I don’t think Jerry ever got a nod like that.

Which SOTYs had a better year than the year they won SOTY? Maybe there year where they threw down harder than the year they won SOTY but someone threw down even harder, kinda like Suciugate.
::)
Anyways, I wasn’t around back then but Carroll’s Goldfish part is not as memorable compared to questionable, modus, yeah right, or fully flared. I could be way off base here but why did he win in 94?
Also did Cardiel have a noteworthy part in 92? I mean he’s probably just always killed it, but it seemed like he was was on a tear when I started skating from 2000 to his injury.
Cards is a tough one because he did have Sight Unseen but for the most part I don’t think video ever really did him justice. I think he got it in 92 because he was doing something radically different for the time- hardly anyone was that gnar at skating parks back then. Arguably Salman got it for the same reason for doing switch so well so early.

The award is silly anyway because people like SBN have won it
Alright let’s get this straight. The year Silas won he had something like 3 parts come out, and anyone who has seen him skate can say the power and control he has is incredible. Three parts in one year is nuts considering how long it can take some people now to come up with a single part in 3 years. I think his is well deserved but to each their own, but you can’t deny the facts: Silas puts in work. Dude is still killing it to this day.
I don’t think AVE’s best year was his winning year. Same goes for Ishod, but Ishod could have one at several different times including now I think.

Cardiel fits the criteria. He was better in the years following the award.

Maybe another way to put it is whose peak year was also their SOTY year? I’d say Kyle Walker because that handrail in No Other Way is pretty untouchable. Possibly Salman because he fell off right after that. Danny Way after his second one. Maybe Chris Senn. And SBN, obviously

Poor Chris Senn. Easily one of the best skaters of the 90s who was largely forgotten in the 2000s and 2010s.

Well not just the footage, but being able to see him skate in person is something else. My opinion is a little biased though, he lived in my town around the years he got the SOTY, and he would destroy the local park. It’s similar to the Eugene park, which is probably why he handled it so perfectly, it was a good match up. I got to film some clips of him too and he was always super cool.
All I’m saying is his work ethic that year and the stuff he skates won him SOTY in my book. A good trick to look at is his bs flip in Don’t Act Famous. He does it at night at the sketchiest spot, and if you have ever been there you know that it is pretty ridiculous to throw that down at that spot. Funny enough Tony Manfre did fs flip down the same spot while wearing a football jersey.

This is Ishod yesterday, he’s only getting better. He could’ve taken it for that Return of the Mack part or any other year.

Reynolds has had better years than 98.
Ishod has definitely gotten better since 2013 but you gotta remember, he put out 4 parts that year. 5 if you count his Sabotage 3 remix.

Tony 1990 = Feasters video part lol
Danny Way 1991 = questionable - k
cardiel 1992 = dogtown video + probably went on thrasher trips
salman agah = dont know what label video would have been out fro mthat era
1994 Carroll Goldfish ok thats pretty decent part from him, dont know what else out that year really to compare it to
95 chris senn thats pre welcome to hell so not sure what part that would be for?
96 koston mouse, bs noseblunt hubba, makes sense
97 bob burnquist, pre anti hero vidoe would have just been contests i guess / 411
98 reynolds for what video? they knew the end was gonna be that good? lol
99 BA for Welcome to Hell makes sense
2000 rowley = 411 footage
2001 Arto = Menikmati
2002 Trujillo for in bloom lol. but he was more thrasher than everyone else beisdes trainwreck i guess.
2003 appleyard for sorry, ok
2004 danny way for mega ramp i guesss? had no one better to give it to? werent gonna give it to a east coast ledge guy.
2005 chris cole 3 flip wallenburg was that year. deserves it
2006 daewon cheese n crackers and he deserved it for all those other years lol but that vid was actually insane
2007 MJ for fully flared marks the era where basically a 3 in 1 video part sealed the deal (mind you he worked on that part for like 3 years which doesnt happen anymore)
2008 SBN insane year
honestly i kinda stoppe dcaring aobut skate videos after that though. really only started getting back into a few years ago . the way SOTY is now you need to put out 2 parts in 1 year minimum id say to be even considered. i dont think soty would care if someone dominated street league and x games, pedro dominated vans park series and hes pretty gnar and dont think hes ever been on anyones radar for soty. seems like a video part is really what it does come down to these days.

While I don't think he would deserve SOTY any other year, even perhaps the year he got it...
But since the question is phrased who had better skate years other than the year they won, I would have to go with Tony Hawk. He got the first SOTY in 1990, and had had many, many better years since then.
In fact, I would argue that Tony had had the most better years other than his SOTY year.
Opinions?
egh. depends on how you want to grade it. SOTY is kind of thrasher's version of "video part of the year" and/or most prolific skater and late 80s early 90s was when Powell Peralta was churning out videos.
but if we are talking impact on skateboarding and culture in general, has any skater ever had a bigger year than he did in 99? can't think of anyone even in that same conversation.

The SBN hate on this thread is mind-boggling. He fully deserved it. Dude had an ad in every mag, every month, plus multiple standout video parts. I remember realizing around September or something that he was going to win and being kind of shocked because he was Powell guy not that long before. And Powell in the mid-late 00s was maybe the lamest they ever were, and that's saying something. I also think he was one of the last guys to win it in a traditional sense. Just tons of coverage and steady ripping. No gimmicks or bullshit. He is a definite GOAT and anyone that disagrees needs to go watch all of his parts and try and tell me that he's not one of the best to do it. éSpecial and Origins are two of his parts that I think are slept on a bit and they are both very good.

Same. There were other people doing some really technical stuff but I can’t remember anyone else going fast and blasting switch ollies over fire hydrants. Salman was just good in general- that Real part holds up pretty well considering the time. I think he’s probably the guy who fell off hardest since being SOTY and that was just best year.

Also, David Gonzalez was a terrible pick. All I can tell you about this dude is that he has a fetish for rock and roll and he sticks his tongue out a lot. Couldn't tell you anything about his skating.
Jerry should have gotten it. And for good measure, fuck Emerica for dropping him.
I guess Jerry wasn't thrasher enough. His SOTY trip would've been awesome but pretty weird for thrasher. Then again SBN was even less hellride. Anyone know who went on his SOTY trip?
Believe it or not there was a time before the stroke fest that is known as the SOTY trip when the winner shot photos for an interview and talked about the year in review.

Carroll had like a crazy run from 92-94 (Questionable, Virtual Reality, FTC Finally) with Goldfish topping it off. It's hard to find exact release dates or what Thrasher counted as that year. I wouldn't be shocked if his FTC Finally part was included in that which was 1993 part if it was dropped in late 1993. Plus, Thrasher was an SF mag, and he was the Bay Area street skater killing it, and the previous non-vert guy to win was also Bay Area.
Apples won for Really Sorry, not Sorry.
Koston's BS-Noseblunt of Hubba was 98, and was used in Chocolate Tour (99). He probably got it due to Mouse and winning Tampa that year.
