I am a huge fan of tater tots. My mother unfortunately only cooks from scratch. I never had a tater tot heated in my days of growing up. I would like to take this time to thank my mother for cooking me good food when all I wanted was garbage. Shalom

Tom Knox was not a real contender for 2020 SOTY.

Croquet temper · « **Reply #95 on:** January 06, 2021, 06:55:10 AM »

Because you can’t give it to Knox a year after you denied Suciu. It makes absolutely no sense.

Even though pushing away into the street after landing something big annoys me, Nick Boserio in my opinion gets a pass because it oddly looks good and suits his style. His skating always looks like he’s pushing away from some foreseeable doom.

JimGeko · « **Reply #97 on:** January 06, 2021, 07:13:18 AM »

SOTY is total bullshit. Skateboarding is so subjective that it is impossible to chose one "best".

Everybody wins. Well done everyone.

Skating away as fast as he can after beating up the elderly

Elijah Berle’s Vans part is an instant classic

Sure, if we're talking about the Propeller part, maybe even No Other Way.

Based on what criteria? It obviously isn't "quantity" or "quality."

SOTY isn't about quantity or quality, is about gnarlyness and hellride.

Tom Knox is more "Thrasher" than Mark Suciu, as well.

How so?

Which is why we all knw Tom Knox wasn’t really being considered, it’s more of a “hey dude, that part was cool”. Suciu was on another level IMO and was pretty worthy.

Filming skateboard tricks and putting them out into the world is ultimately just showing off.

By this metric filming lines is unconscionable.

Murge · « **Reply #108 on:** January 06, 2021, 11:11:54 AM »

To echo a few things. Kader ain’t as good as he’s hyped to be. Tom Knox part was not soty material. Skateboarding is subjective. SOTY is dumb.

Tom Knox could never be Thrasher's SOTY, and I prefer him that way.

ballintoohard · « **Reply #111 on:** January 06, 2021, 07:01:34 PM »

If it wasn’t for Instagram I wouldn’t even really know about Kader’s skating since he’s for sure done some cool shit, but none of his parts are memorable.

I just can't agree with this one. I know he hasn't released a substantial part yet, but just from the clips I've seen on IG and shit he seems to have a limitless ceiling. Didn't he like casually hurricane the Hollywood 16?

Atlantic Drift is a Thrasher series. I'm not sure of the actual ownership or financing but it's always been featured on the site kinda like Bru Ray was P-Stones but also Thrasher. Same thing with Rye Beres Homies series. Tom Knox is plenty Thrasher

Jerrys Kid · « **Reply #117 on:** January 07, 2021, 11:31:54 AM »

Historically, SOTY typically favored quantity over quality. You're better off winning if you have tons of clips in the tour videos on the site and coverage in the mag than having a single awesome part and not much else that year. They have to be top of mind in all the media that gets forgotten throughout the year.

It makes it harder to justify why someone won after the fact, but that's the pattern I've seen over the past 20 years.

Absolutely. Idk how people weren't juiced on his jawn. Lines are the superior flex. I dig hammers too but I'll take tasty lines-manship all day.
