Does anybody want to drop the parts that you deserve a SOTY. I watched some of the primitive video and Mason's parts but that is about it. I don't know really where to start. Also what footage has kader dropped this year? I saw the vid he dropped today but I didn't see anything from him except that cameo from that Melodi edit.

Reynolds?  Robert Neal?  nah.  Reynolds has been skating great, but he's not winning Soty for the 2nd time with 'living my best life" clips

Tom K deserves to be mentioned in the short list.  String Theory part in April, Museum part in November.  Seemed to change people's minds about him and get everyone behind him.

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.

SOTY discussions / debates are just here to remind me how many great skateboarders (with different styles / approaches etc...) there are right now. I mean Mason, Franky, Kader, Tom Knox and others are a pleasure to watch. Do not forget those from the older generation (Reynolds, Chico...) who are still ripping.

Honestly I can’t chose, for example Tom Knox and Mason Silva are different but damn both rip and that’s the reason I love skateboarding.

Hate him or not (I mean his after land celebrations make bastain’s look like nothing but this is Isn’t personality of the year,) all of this was in 2020 and he’s skating a lot of jaws caliber stuff a lot but doing tricks other than kickflip melons.

That back heel down the big 7-8 block/stair or first try was nuts.


Also has a mean ledge game. Rick flip to switch fs nose/fakie back tail on a decently high ledge? Tell me mason could could do that?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So1cDH40M3I&t=317s







Either way it should be Tom Knox but I am just saying that there are a lot of dudes that ripped in 2020 that most people don’t even think of because it isn’t Mason.

Either way it should be Tom Knox but I am just saying that there are a lot of dudes that ripped in 2020 that most people don’t even think of because it isn’t Mason.

The first clip in the Joslin video is a bs 360 kickflip from a video that was released two years ago, so I pressed pause after that. I do not think he is a contender this year, considering he's had better years footage-output wise that did not garner him the win.

I personally want Mason to win. Tom Knox Suciu'd it this year and I would also be content if he won. Franky Vilanni should be right up there in conversation and Miles Silvas rounds out the top 4. Considering the pandemic made me think we'd get less footage this year, I'm fucking stoked on how much we ended up getting.

Meant that the tasteful skater of the year is going to get beat out by the Thrasher SOTY sent from central casting.

... with all due respect to Milton, and Mason.

No but for real mason had a great year. He Skates powerful but to me his part miss some nbds at spots i will remember. If im being honest i watched all 4 parts and can barely remember anything even if it was the best we saw this year.

ALSO ADD HYUN KUMMER AKA VERSACE PLUG his parts are amazing and far more ambitious than anything sombody like kader did this year.
Hes not top tier AM because he lives in germany.
We saw that happen to mizurov and lem, glad he has a different approach to it and doesnt play SE GERMAN with some Bratwurst boards like Willow on almost

Transworld Skate and Create with the Birdhouse crew was sick, his Real Street part ripped, 50-50 at El Toro, and his Creep video.  Dude is sicker than he gets credit for.

I would like to see Tom Knox win, but its not like I'd be bummed to see Mason get it over him, he's clearly worthy of it. SOTY rarely goes to who I would give it to anyway, so it's whatever (I would have given it to Suciu last year, Austyn and Louie Lopez the years prior).

This idea that it comes down to what companies someone rides for is getting a bit out of hand. 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?

I see. 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.

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 you

This has never been a secret and I still don't get why people don't understand this

It's kind of insane to think that the magazine created to promote a brand of skateboard trucks is some noble institution, beyond the reach of commercialism. It's not as though Nike calls and says "Mason is SOTY, here's the check?" It's just the natural consequence of our economic order.

Pretty sure at least the first SOTY win came in part from from Zero's dominance of the first few years of King of the Road. They may be corny now but Thrasher backed Zero pretty hard in the early aughts

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 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.

Ramirez is just too obscure to win.  We know him, but I don’t know if the average skater does.  Big sponsors help by putting their name forward.  He’s been outshone by his own teammate this year.  SOTY is to sell mags and names do that

Clearly, Berle's new vans part was fucked and will be re-watched more than all 4 Silva parts combined

pretty sure i don't need to watch berles part again. but cool if it gets you so hyped.

if most fucked tricks win others have done crazier and gnarlier tricks imo.

berle imo is just looking meh on a skateboard in general, no matter what tricks he does. i think my main problem is that his skating and looks are very derivative of all his teammates. people say sean pablo is a copycat, but i find berle to be way worse. whoever said berle is like that chick that emulates her current boyfriend, as bad as that trope has aged, it was spot on. when i watch his parts i often think "this is like a dylan trick and landing, this is like a dill line, here he's trying to look and skate like ave", and so on.

and the difference between him, austyn, and all these fashionista skaters to dylan imo is that dylan looked like he didn't try to look as swaggy. i doubt dylan sweated his ass off in the morning about his kit. berle comes off as if it takes him 2 hours to figure out what pair of dickies he puts on and what pomade to put in his hair. that's all cool but it wouldn't be worth for me personally just to end up looking like a generic greaser. and he probably isn't like that, but the editing makes him come off like that.

i agree though that some tricks were very fucked in his new part, but that metric alone doesn't really cut it for me. imo mason went gnarlier overall, too.

it's funny, i actually thought berle would snatch soty last minute before the part dropped, i kind of had that feeling, but now after the part, i'm a bit underwhelmed and pretty sure it's gonna be mason. there was this suspense about him dropping that part last minute which warranted the attention, but i liked gilberts section better overall as a skatepart, and that wasn't even his best part. not to take away from berle's hammers, but still, underwhelmed.

That new Alexis part is nuts. Earlier in the year I thought he should be in the mix but Mason just kept putting out stuff. So I was like, it’s Masons. But I’m changing my mind again. Just based on what people have put out I’d give it to Alexis. That switch 50-50 was insane.

That being said Brandon Turner surely has the greatest year for a 38 year old ever and if they gave it to him I wouldn’t complain.

That Elijah Berle part was good but  it wasn’t as shocking as that Kyle Walker part.

Shots fired. Let's keep in mind that even Dylan had some influence from Dill and AVE, and that those guys might have been inspired by someone along the way as well. The Dylan cosplay is real, but honestly I'm shocked there are as few people out there blatantly ripping him off as there are. If we can accept J Shananigan and his slim shady Kalis mimicry then I think we should be able to accept about a hundred Dylan clones. To me it just looks like Elijah finally caved in and is starting to be more honest with himself and others about how much he wishes he was Dylan. It's OK buddy we all do. And maybe we give too much credit to Mason Silva, who, maybe more than any skater inaginable right now, is a watered down collage of every other boring skater with AC/DC Real hoodies, puffy black Nikes with huge white swooshes, and the same dickies that Elijah Berle wears just hemmed different.

Mason first pick, that part was pure carnage so fucking sick. But seeing Turners switch hardflip done at his age and of course the spot, was so fucking gnarly. Realistically Mason but would still be sick if Turner got it, kind of like how actors get that legacy Oscar, like when Paul Newman got the Oscar for Color of Money

Well obviously I disagree. Gilbert rules and has one of the best styles in the game.

My SOTY list goes like this:

1. Mason Silva

2. Tom Knox

3. Fred Gall

4. Gilbert Crockett

This should go to Brandon Turner. He's an animal. That switch hardflip shuts down everything Mason did this year. He's doing more by showing what can be done at 38. Pure beast

i think no one would be mad if they did. i'd back it, too. that one trick is a strong argument on its own.

alexis ramirez would have deserved it as well imo, that dude pumped out so much ridiculuos footage and tricks, insane.

skatemafia had incredible output this year.

I think John Shanahan should get it tbh. the cargo sneaker part + his instagram posts are 1000x more memorable to me than anything miles did across 4 parts. did you notice at the end of that part he did that 3 flip on a kalis board? peasants dont understand the nuance that goes into these clips. its pure genius, like shakespeare or ghandi or some shit

I feel like it would be weird if mason didn't win, But I think the other main dudes would be alexis ramirez, frankie villani, miles, and obviously louie. Pedro had a gnarly part but its just one part, same with Kirby, same with elijah.

Although I feel like people are so hung up on the dylan cosplay thing with elijah's part that they're acting like the skating wasn't insane.

It's interesting that Thrasher hasn't even introduced their SOTY shortlist yet, when typically, at least the last few years, it was posted by mid-late November. Last year it was on the 22nd. This perhaps shows the corporate influence over SOTY. Is Thrasher waiting for something to drop before producing the list? If so, it begs the question: who the fuck are we waiting on footage from, and why have they not just given it to Mason already?

I should mention that I always thought it was weird that they did the polling so early. Why not wait until the new year? I realize that it's likely due to publishing dates, but it's still kind of strange.

People have won with single parts before, AVE, Tyshawn. Though nothing really beats Mason consistency this year, not so many mind boggling tricks in one part to compete with that.

Putting aside the likes of Tom Knox and Brandon Turner, who I would love to see take SOTY this year, but largely for sentimental reasons and I just don't think are likely...




When was the last time someone was this clearly going to win SOTY? It seems like the past couple of years have all been stiff competition with Tiago, Suciu, Louie, Foy, Tyshawn, Milton etc seemingly all just as worthy. I can't remember the last time someone was this clearly ahead of the pack.

They saw the reaction to Alright Ok and it didn't quite have the impact to give him a reasonable SOTY push, so now they're going to release it after Mason wins and act like they don't care about SOTY.


I'm basing this on absolutely nothing.
