Title: Who's making the SOTY 2021 run?
Post by: zahed on July 19, 2021, 01:54:39 PM
We're halfway through 2021. Mason was consistent throughout 2020 with a part per quarter. We really haven't seen that yet and SOTY seems up for grabs. The list of people who have a window as of now:

Ishod. But if GT drops more parts not problem. I really wish Chico would drop a few parts, vet of the year would be great in my books.

There are certain skaters, no matter how talented they are, who just accept that they will never, ever be SOTY. Milder could drop 17 banger parts between now and December and consider himself lucky to be nominated.

I'm on team Cookie. I think he'll be a serious contender but I don't think Thrasher would celebrate his style. Milton had more Thrasher appeal than Suicu and likely Jack O'Grady, GT, or any of the others listed in the original post have more Thrasher points than Cookie.

Also, I'd like to see Brian Reid make it into the second round up into the top 10.

@rukes actually has a decent point, but fuck all that noise… I come here to say that neither of these two quoted above should ever post again.
I’ve ne’r, e’r seen a 666 posts, followed up by a 420 posts configuration before now.

Thrasher made that post that said Joey O Brien's part was the best of the year...? Seems too obscure to be in serious running.

Should be Jack 'O though (not Jakko)..... hopefully it's some guy with an O in the middle of his name.

there are some absolutely hilarious predictions on here

midler...funniest thing ive ever heard. he gets koty (kook of the year) for playing jock everyday

Anyways, I think its a little early to tell, but Jack O'Grady is definitely going to be a heavy contender and rightfully so. I think in the next few months we'll be able to tell a little better who else will be the top contenders. Jack's probably gonna need to come out with another part too which i bet he will. Can't remember when the carhartt wip video is supposed to come out and if he will be in that?

I've had a feeling all year it's gonna be Louie. He's had 2 parts already, lots of instagram clips and seems to get a cover every year. It wouldn't surprise me to see his big part drop at the end of the year with a cover and a feature in the mag

I'd also love to see Carlos Ribeiro take it. He's been on a tear all year and his upcoming Primitive part might seal the deal for him. It's not a very likely Thrasher pick though

Far more people have dropped more exciting parts than O'Grady for me, but he is definitely a top contender.

Considering the process of putting together a mag and the process of how a larger corp like Nike has to operate to put out an ad and get it approved for publication as opposed to a smaller skate brand it probably was in the works and wasn’t able to get approved until his win was final so honestly the timeline of being “late” isn’t that crazy.

Im going Suciu...I think he will drop another part soon

Habitat/Thrasher part coming out on Wednesday. If he's able to drop hs 3rd part which he was mentioned he's been working on before the year is over it could finally be his. Mark has been on a tear this year

Chima could take it with another part

Carlos Ribeiro or Yuto could sneak in with a late year banger part

John Dilo has another part coming out Nov 24 I believe. He's for sure making a run at it this year

What a great year for skating!

This might be his least worthy year - can’t recall a lot of footage from him (at least not at his usual rate)

If this is true it should be him.  Would love for someone to make a compilation of all his footy this year, it’s probably twice what anyone else has put out, and definitely SoTY-calibre skating.

It’s obvious that Suciu wants it so desperately bad after losing to Milton, saving all his shit for end of year to make one big push.  Hope he doesn’t get it for that reason alone.

If Jacko puts another part out by the end of this year then for sure him

After that Vans part I'd put Chima in there

Tom Knox

Suciu's gunning for another run especially with the Habitat part coming out

Uncle Freddy for obvious reasons

I feel that from him too. He always drops footy at the end of the year hoping to get the award. Its seems so calculated and unauthentic. I love his skating and parts but he needs to give less fucks about SOTY if he ever wants to get it.

A few years ago I  thought Daan would win for sure sooner or later. He was ripping so hard in I think 2018.

Then he got injured, he fucked up on Insta and only posted one trick since.

I totally agree. I thought it was an inevitability.

Can he not? We have seen enough suciu.

Dilo killing it but not seasoned enough for a win.

Yuto the only thing that makes sense. His ig clout is immense. Gold medal. Flawless video part.

Australian dudes are good and all but thrasher didn’t even give soty to Shane. Who is leaps ahead of both those guys in skill and legacy.

So much footage now tho the regular skater forgets unless there footage is released near the end of the year. like I remember in 2018 when joslin released that crazy 12minute part at the start of the year,by the time soty season came around people were complaining in ig comments that he was a finalist when he only put out that ledge part

We're halfway through 2021. Mason was consistent throughout 2020 with a part per quarter. We really haven't seen that yet and SOTY seems up for grabs. The list of people who have a window as of now:

  • Grant Taylor: LA takeover was sick, Thrasher favorite
  • Roman Pabich: Up and comer, hell rider, homies parts, trick of the year
  • Chris 'Cookie' Colbourn: Puts out the most, best footage: X Games, Worble, hours of IG etc
  • Dashawn Jordan: Toy part was sick, ripped Xgames gold, well liked with peers.
  • Zion: Brings home gold, it might be a wrap.
  • Fred Gall

All solid suggestions. I love Cookie's move to Worble plus the Cobra Man collab. Dashawn Jordan's part still blows my mind. Jack O'Grady needs more love.

But really it should go to Fred. Is there a more positive story in the industry right now? Getting clean, still skating hard, staying true to his hometown. Such a good story.

but I see no undisputed leader lonely at the top right now, so I wait
for more footage to drop in the last minutes...

Want to mention Felipe Nunes - because he really impressed me through the year
Thrasher interview, "Limitless" Part, getting a Shoe sponsor (Vans)  and
sharing beer with Tony from his new prosthesis - he just want for walking in a bar without

Nobody’s out doing that Chima part this year. I really hope he gets it but it seems like the masses aren’t really convinced he’s the one. It’s sad to say, but I feel like if some of those clips had some second angles it would have helped his chances. Some of those clips went by so quick with the fisheye that it didn’t do them justice.

But it needs to be someone already embedded in the pages of Thrasher with the full nod from a big shoe company (Suciu, Yuto, Chima, Jack O’Grady)

Max is what, pro flow for Nike and rumored to maybe leave for LRAB?  He’s also a Jenkem/Quartersnacks guy.  And Joey OBrien is still maybe pro flow for Adidas?

Agreed.  It would be refreshing. And reflective of these unique times. Max and friends have also put out my favorite footage this year, and it’d be a win for all the John’s vid / Hit Vid boys

What? Please explain to me how Max Palmer winning SOTY would be "reflective of these unique times". You lost me on that one.

Copy.  Maybe a little mawkish, apologies.  But it’s been a rough couple years for most people, and he’s something of a man of the people.  Max is super productive but also works a day job, as far as I know.  And if he’s really leaving Nike flow for Last Resort, then he’s not on a big corporate brand.  Joey O’Brien and he are similar in a way, save for the shoes on their feet.  True skate rats who aren’t hooked up buying houses with skate checks like a number of other guys on the SOTY short list most years.  More blue collar, unpolished, real people.

Chima announcing another part on his IG just now. Who else is making a soty push in the next 2 weeks?  Guy, Yuto, Nyjah, Carlos, uncle Freddy, more suciu, Louie, Rowan??

The guy part has been on ice for a while.  I’m gonna say Chima, Carlos if the part drops, yuto supposedly has another part and Deshawn Jordan too.  I would like to see Louie Lopez drop one solid part as well.  I like Palmer but no he’s not getting SOTY nor is he deserving.  OGrady would be raaaaad.  I could live with Sucui. Or Fred Gall.

As mentioned above Chima about to drop another part. If it’s anything like his last I can see him taking it out. I think he fits the thrasher mold a lot more compared to some of the other pros mentioned

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only 1 SOTY has ever won without having a thrasher cover in the same year (Chris Senn, the only one Phelps said he regretted). Chima would have been my pick but he had no cover this year so I doubt he gets it. Probably Jack or Yuto I guess.

It seems pretty likely that Suciu will win SOTY which I'm hyped on. But, it feels weird that he'd win in 2021 when his 2019 was way better. None of the parts he dropped in 2021 where anywhere near as good as Verso. I guess I'm still salty about Milton winning.

But...

Suciu drops yet another part, 8 minutes long:

So Yuto dressed in tons of thrasher gear and came out with a 2 minute part with an ender down a big notable spot after winning a contest and everyone wants him to win? Suciu is going for it Bc Tony Vitello told him he could win it in 2019 so he went for it and is doing it again.

I could see Mark setting a precedent if he wins, every pro gunning for SOTY will just stokepile footage for 1 - 2 years and then release it all at once in the last two months.

I suppose my issue here is that it seems less organic and way more calculated than past winners like GT or Mason to name a few that had footage throughout spread out through the year. That's just my opinion anyway.

Even if that was two years I think only a handful of could put together that much good stuff. That new part is nuts. He kind of reminds me of Maskookvich or Wray in their primes where you’re- ok he’s done now, he can’t top that last thing- and then he does it like five more times

I really like all the "he's putting out too much good content, and is too good" hot takes on why people not only don't want him to win, but also strongly dislike him.

Anyways, here's a guy with 5 minutes of sub par, same-y footage who should totally get it.

If you stand a chance of winning, you’d be a fool not to. There are huge financial incentives for getting SOTY, and your name gets written into the Sefer HaChaim of skateboarding for all of eternity.

No one wants to end up like Nyjah, the Dan Marino of skateboarding.

I was all in for Chima this week

But the Sucio part was crazy

Either of them could win it. Tech vs size? Sucio def stepped up the intensity

will agree that Kyle Walker, Jack O Grady and Yuto had some hitters of parts, and Clive Dixon.
