Not SOTY

Who were you most disappointed with this year?

Who didn’t make your expectations?

Was there a certain skater who didn’t step up in 2021 but you’re hoping they will in 2022 and beyond?

Now is your chance to speak your mind. We’re listening.

Without a doubt.  Continues to be a waste.

Agreed. So talented but just doesn't produce shit. I'll throw in Jake Donnely too

Once again, I'm sure he's pinching the air because of all the bad style parts that were put out this year

[Coastal Fever]

Not that he didn’t put out lots of amazing footage this year, but I really thought Louie was going to drop a couple more banger parts after the FA one and make a serious run at it. 

Seems kind of odd in general that nobody besides Dilo and Yuto really made an obvious push.  Almost like the industry got together and decided “Okay so Mark really wants it this year and wrote up a really convincing proposal in support of his plea.  Everyone else take the year off and stay away from the 6 stair rail behind the JC Penney Outlet.”

Fred Gall should've at least been a nominee

I'm an out of the loop Euro skater, what's up with the Fred Gall meme here?

Fred put out some heavy footy this year. A couple cameos in Brian Anderson’s NSFW BDSM part that dropped.  Also his jenkem piece.  Really hard to understand how he was left out.  Not 4 full parts like Sucui but an amazing body…. And an amazing body of work.

He got sober and cleaned himself up, started building DIYs all around the New Jersey home he inherited from his grandmother. He has re-ingratiated himself to skateboarding via his very positive Instagram feed and people love him for it.

My memory isn't accurate enough... but did Tiago put out a part this year? I know he skated all year, put clips on insta, MACBA, etc, but don't think he had an actual part drop. Hopefully he's going to throw out a ton of footy next year.

Also didn't see much from Yuri Facchini, maybe in Jan?

Another year gone and no legit luan part. Obviously the sun is setting upon his career and he really snuck in as the most beloved contest pro ever.

This is exactly why I wish he would've been on the list. This year he's embodied what it really means to be a skateboarder.

He’s been raving hard all year though. Saw that he was partying at Club Space in Miami at 10am. Sender of the year?

It’s funny, lots of skaters have used the pandemic as a motivator to skate more and party less.

Nyjah has done the complete opposite.

That's why I thought Burnett might give him the nod as well. Uncle Freddy has done more for Habitat than Mark ever could.

Suciu was shitting his diapers while Fred saved monks from a burning building

I get what you're trying to say but Mark was born in '92, it's more accurate to say he was shitting his diapers when Fred was filming for Sub Zero Real Life
