Author Topic: Can u really win SOTY with footage from the past 3 years? (Read 2348 times)

I notice Mason has been leading the SOTY 2020 run with a couple parts that have a lot of old footage in it. I always wondered if SOTY shouldn’t be given to a skater who does the most during that current year, and with this COVID outbreak it’s gonna be interesting to see who puts more footage out filmed in 2020 alone.

In the other hand, fuck SOTY. I’ll never be ok with David over Guy.

Mason winning would be horrendous. Just give it to Ishod again if no one else is worthy.

While I do agree with the sentiment, Guy got robbed.

Most parts take time. Ave had worked on the propeller part for 5 years. People stack up footy.

Why? He's clearly been earmarked for it and has the sponsors to really push it. He'd be a much worthy winner than Milton.

Phelps used to award it for “services rendered”

Oscars/Grammys/et al aren’t won for things only created and executed within that calendar year, just off the release date

No one post 2000 has probably ever won with footage just from the year they won.

I wouldn’t put it past Thrasher to turn SOTY into something similar to KOTR some day. Some “on your mark, get so, go film as much as you can in one year!” type shit.

SneakySecrets · « **Reply #7 on:** July 22, 2020, 06:20:37 PM »

I don’t know the answer to this, but I’m going to be writing Thrasher the mother of all angry letters if he wins
or if he doesn’t.

So you think Mason’s 2020 part - in which he primarily skates Real and DLX boards - has three-year-old footage in it, despite the fact that anything he filmed in 2017 would have gone towards his Red Balloon part, 2018, his Element part? Probably the smartest thing you’ve ever posted.

If that were the case then todd falcon would be a front runner every year with this timeless masterpiece

As others mentioned, release date is what truly matters.

Yonnycage · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2020, 08:55:47 PM »

Cory Kennedy shoulda won for Beware of Sasquatch alone that year. Not to mention he tore KOTR a new asshole. SOTY seems like it’s chosen based off who has Thrasher’s dick deeper down their throat anyway

Yeah, Mason is an example of the opposite of OPs point. He is constantly putting out fresh new stuff.

i only want SOTYs that put out footage from the future. none of this from past BS copout stuff.

DannyDee · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2020, 09:22:17 PM »

Then a bunch of people should have their SOTY's taken away. You think Ave's or MJ's part footage was primarily from the years Propellor and Fully Flared were released? Hell, Jamie Foy got it primarily off the fact he killed it on KOTR on Vice which was filmed the year prior.

As @Atiba Applebum said, view it like the Grammy's or Oscar's, it is about year of release.

Monkey_Mcpott · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2020, 09:28:04 PM »

Mason hasn’t stopped and is still out filming right now. He’s got my vote.

Well Rowley did win his SOTY for his Sorry! part like 1-2 years before it ever came out.

Maybe Cobra’s second win in 2009. He just had a handful of tricks in that shared part with Asta. Other than that, he won from Berrics clips and that Wallenberg competition.

It’s so wild he got his second win the year Mindfield came out.

Heath and Ave were the only likely candidates from that (SOTY never goes to a JJ type intro part). I could imagine Heath turned it down like Evan Smith was rumored to

Jon Dickson or Mason should get SOTY imo

I didn't know there were people who thought anyone but Milton could have gotten SOTY last year. Also no one is even close to Mason at this point.

Busenitz was robbed, no question.

If you could only win SOTY with footage filmed in that calendar year then the list of recipients would look very different

Mason as of right now deserves to be SOTY... OP was just spewing hogwash... nothing more

Im all for Mason but to be fair he was definitely riding an element board in that cab flip clip at the end of his new Nike part.

True... but as other posters have mentioned above, it's completely common place to stack clips and then release them in a banging part when you feel ready. So what's the problem?
