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

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.
-
Pretty sure it's me
-
Gotta go with Jack O’ Grady, personally, dude has been throwing down, and still has some time to drop something else before the year is up.
-
Id love a hammer part from louie to balance out his style part earlier this year.
-
No love for CLive Dixon eh. Alex Midler deserves mention to as much as people like to hate on him. And my dark horse would be Joey O Brien.

Alex Midler is 100% not getting SOTY.

His generation doesn’t do multiple parts let alone now
-
Carlos Ribiero is pretty mind bending for me...the dude gets technical on handrails
-
jack o'grady or carlos ribiero
Thrasher is pushing O’Grady hard. If Phelps were alive, you know this would be his guy.

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.
-
It seems pretty obvious that it's gonna be O'Grady.
-
Hoping Evan Smith makes a push so he can be runner up again, this time to Guy Mariano.
-
I offer up J Henry, esp. after the rough cut release of GP.
-
Ishod and GT should just toss it back and forth each year over the heads of everyone else like some 6th grade bullies

I think Nyjah is one of those type of skaters. I'm always surprised whenever I come across someone who thinks he might get SOTY or should of been.

Nigel has a better chance at SOTY than Midler will ever have. That said, Nigel will never ever win SOTY.

Suciu baby. You don't post a rough cut 10 years later just for fun.
-
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.
-
Really couldn’t care less
-
If Yuto wins a gold medal, and puts out another street part, he could be a chance. Had a cover already this year.

@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.
I know they’re stupid teenager numbers, like 69 and all that shit, but there’s no need to go fucking around with serendipity y’all.
Both of you ought to drop the mic, so to speak, right there & walk of the stage as true heroes.
Shalom.

My heart wants Cookie but I know they won’t give it to him

Kyota and Fred Gall shared SOTY

Jack O'Grady is the first guy who comes to mind, especially if he drops another part.

Jack O'Grady, GT or Silas for that insane part he just put out.
Nah actually, Uncle Freddy's gonna get it

Yuto would get robbed like Shane ONeill did when the DLX/High Speed homie KWalks grinded one rail amd got SOTY.
-
It's gonna be Alexis.
-
would love to see Cookie win
-
I'll probably vote for Cookie, regardless of whatever else gets put out by anyone else because I like him.
-
It's gotta be jack 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
-
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?
-
ishod.
hopefully drops a part with the shoe release
-
Jack O' Grady definitely fits the mold for the Thrasher SOTY winner.
If he came out with a FDR & Burnside transition part...he's got it. The dude is like a young Cards
-
O'Grady
Yuto
Nyjah (doc, gold medal?, big part)
Dashawn (my pick)
-
I think this year is Bams year
-
the only reason this is even a discussion is because kevin bradley doesn’t care enough to try
we need a KB thrasher part.
-
My heart wants Cookie but I know they won’t give it to him
Cookie is the Slappers favorite. It’s gonna be just like two years ago when everyone here wanted Suciu even though we all knew it was going to be Milton.
-
Glad people are saying Louie as this is my part of the year ;-)

Legit though, such a rad part.

Also Glass Carousel came out so late last year that it should be considered

If kridler still rode for Real and followed the righteous path of DLX he would be SOTY'd.
Cookie just posted on IG about a new Birthday Cake Mountain Dew flavor --- I mean I get that his name is Cookie, but chill with all the dessert stuff...

Crazy to think that three of the best mini-ramp skaters I've ever seen were all on the same team at one time, this is very good, but let's be honest it's no Cheese & Crackers
-
JOEY O'BRIEN
-
Cookie!
-
I want to see someone get it for not only being gnarly, but for also having good style and tasteful trick selection. If Louie makes a run for it that’s my pick.
If not then yeah, just give it to Jack for doing the most fucked up rails. Would respect that more than Cookie.
-
Gonna be hard for anyone to film parts when they have all these Gogurt and Chipotle commercials to get done

Dustin Henry

Dustin Henry
The best arms in skateboarding. Amazing in the ET and Dustin video. Hopefully more dustin footy to come he's so amazing

Once twice and then the den but you don’t find out until closing begins the huddle. Joey O’Brien if the the business is casual

Mike Anderson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd4co_Fiwtw
Manderson's part was one of the best I have seen in ages! Powerful, stylish, and really creative. Wish they gave it to him
-
Manderson and Jack O were two glaring omissions on my list.
Something about Manderson seems like he's a 1 part a year kinda guy.

Franky Villani...

So far O‘Grady, Villani and Westgate dropped the heaviest parts this year but I am waiting for Delfino to drop some heat.
-
Joey O'Brien. However, i would be very hyped if Mike Anderson got it tho.
-
I'd love to see Felipe Nunez get it.
-
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.

I just watched Silas Baxter-Neal’s “Open Sequence” part and was blown away.
Straight up skated to Heatmiser too. I was floored
Give it to him again, or Frederick Gall

did anyone catch the “congratulations, yuto!” nike sb ad in the tfunk thrasher? was that them fuckin up or just a reeeeeally late olympics congrats?

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.
-
If Fred Gall puts out one of those hinted at parts before the end of the year he's got it in the bag.
-
Freddys B Day today. Burnout probably sneaking skate royalty and Tibetan monks into Jodys Spot for the Soty announcement as we speak! Long live Freddy, HBD!

Honestly, Nick Michel has been doing the most in my eyes. Think he might be a little off the radar to win it, but he’a got my vote

You are correct
-
Tiago’s been my contender since 2015 and it’s my soty everyfuckingyear from that point on
Fuck you thrasher
-
Im going Suciu...I think he will drop another part soon

Uncle Freddy!!!

none of these people, besides yuto deserve to win

Mark Suciu, Chris Colburn, Mackenzie Eisenhour, Uncle Fred Gall

Steve Berra

10-15 minute Fred Gall part should be the nail in the coffin.

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!
-
Tiago’s been my contender since 2015 and it’s my soty everyfuckingyear from that point on

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

Louie

Highly unlikely but hasn’t tom k put out three parts this year? He’s my pick.
-
ChaDD Sinclair
-

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

Cookie

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.

I duno past 5 years the people who have won soty have all released there footage at the end of the year.

I agree. It lacks... a certain amount of tastefulness
-
Marks probably got another part ready to go after his Habitat part.
-
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
-
I just rewatched Untitled 005 and I think it edges out Jack O Grady's part by just a hair for me.

I can't take SOTY seriously at all since Evan Smith got finessed in 2018. His King of the Road performance alone was legendary.

That spot used to be a strip club and we'd always look at it coming out drunk thinking it'd be sick to ollie. I think Kyle Nicholson ollied it and possible front 180'd it some years ago.

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.

read most of your proposals for contenders and frontrunners.
We can agree 2021 was a fucking strong year with great skateboarding.
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

As of now I'm pulling for Chima. I kind of hope dropping multiple parts in a year doesn't become the SOTY standard.

I'd be surprised if Chima didn't win.

John Dilo dropping another part next week. Seems to be pushing for it?

I'm very curious to see what's in the Primitive video. Carlos had some insanely heavy tricks in the Nike edit, but this probably has a bunch more including the sw bs noseblunt down clipper.

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.
-
how many parts do you think suiciu will drop next year? 5-6 at least i would say.

Joey O'Brien's my soty but I'll settle for Chima, Yuto or Suciu
Felipe Nunes will probably get it though

Yuto or Suciu probably deserve it the most if we're being fair......

Did you skate this year? You are the skater of the year then.

I really feel like it SHOULD be someone like Suciu, Max Palmer or Joey O’Brien
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?
-
I really think it should be max, itd be cool to have a kind of unconventional soty after people like mason and milton won the past couple years
-

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
-
Chima dropping another part this week right? Same with Carlos Ribiero, Louie Lopez. So there still some surprises coming. Add mariano part that has been on ice for a while.

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??
-
Suciu may win SOTY 21', but Fred Gall deserves SOTY

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

Guy making a soty push? ..... what else has he done this year other than a couple cool insta clips? if he didnt get it in 2012 do we really think he's making a push this year?
-
Kinda want someone besides Suciu to get it, only so we keep getting a footage onslaught every couple years.
-
Chima's last part was ridiculous. I don't know how he's going to top that to push him to SOTY.
-
Is this guy part real? If so it would make for a wonderful early Christmas present.
-
if the "guy part" does exist and is not filled to the brim with the most disgusting tricks i've ever seen he could be a contender.
-

yes 2nd to last part and is 2 songs, comeback part for sure
tons of combos and slow mo
-
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.

I thought for sure the part would be to the Jackson five. Guess I’m wrong
-
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.
-
Mark soty confirmed!
Well deserved!!
-
Well it looks like yuto just sealed the deal. Sorry mark.

i feel like Yuto has more coming out
did his Thrasher cover ever get released somewhere?
could see maybe a heavy April part to close out the year

hahaha fuck i didn’t even catch that. got my hopes up

Yuto about to get his fuck on
-
It’s definitely looking like Yuto
-
YUTO YUTO YUTO
no question.
-
john shanahan :D
-
Looked good for Yuto, his part even looked edited specifically to please Thrasher...
But...
Suciu drops yet another part, 8 minutes long:
https://youtu.be/LTGeMZxZ9Tk
-
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 heard from the grapevine that mark suciu is gonna make a run for it, just a rumor, we'll see
-
If it's not Suciu this year then I quit caring
-
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.
-
yea that's definitely not already what everyone does
-
yea that's definitely not already what everyone does
One - two parts? Sure. But the amount of footage Mark dropped in the last two months has to be a record

So he uses the same the same strategy but is just more productive

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.

Would be happy with any of these:
Suciu
Yuto
Jack O'Grady
Chima

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
-
Can we combine the 6 or 7 SOTY threads with the 2021 Unpopular Opinion Thread please
-
SUCIU OR BUST
-
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.
-
“SOTY doesn’t matter, why is he trying so hard to win it? Also, he shouldn’t win because I like someone else better. Did I mention that I don’t care about SOTY?”
-
Chima, leagues

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.
-
it doesn't feel like anyone should be SOTY, just give it to Chris Cole again.

Tommy To

Suciu skated like he deserves it
Chima will get it
Its just life boys

It's probably easier when the spots you skate won't break you for at least 2 weeks.
-
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.
