2021 SLOTY (Slam of the Year)

[tkp]

Thoughts?

Kanaan Dern in Zero's Painkiller seems like it checks the "is this shit big?" and "does it hurt for days afterwards?" boxes:


Reggie Kelly's contortion distortion was embedded in my brain, bodies ain't made to buck back that way.


Chima Ferguson's kick out of doom in his Vans Nice To See You Raw Files.


Ronnie Sandoval rolling off a roof, into a steep as bank, to a head smasher makes my back ache:


Additions from comments:

Lizzie Armanto - Wile E Coyote  - (happened in 2020, footy released 2021)


Auguste Bouznad - Knee gnar - Mind Goblin


Mike Arnold - Neck check - Mind Goblin


Kader - Slide slide slippity-slide - Mind Goblin


Figgy - Emerica "This"


Pedro Delfino - Deathwish "UNCROSSED"


If you have any contenders, post em up because my memory can only remember the last few months of footage.

Shouts to the 2012 SLOTY thread and that one of a kind Chris Gentry soundtrack.

[Youoverthere]

Reggie Kelly for sure.

[Massivebellend]

That reggie one makes me feel sick!!

[GardenSkater77]

The guy who blew his knee out in Mind Goblin is still feeling it.

[SR ACF]

Gotta be Lizzie Armanto

[Logic]

Damn, I'll have to give that Zero video a watch later.

Jack O’Grady had a pretty nasty one in his pro part where he tries to ollie a gap to 50-50.
That dude that tweaked his knee in the latest supreme video made me relive the pain of fucking up my own, probably one of the nastier knee injuries I've seen.

I'd link the respective parts but mobile has proved hit and miss for me when it comes to that.

[SatanicPanic]

Gotta be Lizzie Armanto

The video didn’t come out til this year but the slam was last year

[everythingisgreat]

Reggie Kelly for sure.

Yes Reggie took some time off his career with that one. Ouch!!!!!

[keepthefunkalive]

Reggie Kelly's just looks so unnatural for the body. Hope it wasn't too serious for him. That's my pick. Makes me uncomfortable more than any other I've seen this year

[conqueso]

everything about that says his leg should have snapped in half 

[ok boomer]

Reggie

Added. what's this dude's name? His knee straight sling shotted him backwards. Ouch. Ligaments ain't stoked on that.

While searching through Mind Goblin, the dude who neck checked the curved ledge and Kader's boardslide slam stood out.

Gotta be Lizzie Armanto

Oh yea, that was worst case scenario for real. Added based on footy release date of this year.

[Easy Slider]

What about that wee girl in Tony Hawks halfpipe.

Auguste Bouznad

the Neck Check one is Mike Arnold

100%! poor guy.  i had a similar slam in June and here we are 6 months later awaiting an ACL reconstruction

[Shrinedescender]

Figgy’s in the opening of “This” probably looks so much more gnarly without the slow-mo. Dude nailed his face and got right back up.

2:34

Sky Brown? That footy out in 2020 (source). Conflicted on adding. It looked like a bad one. Filmer missed the actual slam (made the better call of what appears to be trying to save Sky).

Thanks, updated.

Ooh, yea. Tough to watch that one and not feel the pain.

[TastyBurrito]

Damn. Reggie Kelly's body crumpled like in the Thrasher Video game.

Also, Lizzie for me as well. I know it was last year, but damn, she hit a wall at full speed.

[Lord Viper Scorpion]

auguste's knee gnar is the one i can't stand to look at the most

[vhsfisheye]

I gotta go with Lizzie never has a slam shocked me more than her hitting a wall at like 15mph and then fell 10 feet. The cry she makes afterwards too is legit haunting

[Allez_Jambon]

Reggies makes me recoil the most but kanaan derns looks fucked because he doesn’t get up.

[Eric Dolphy]

Can someone link Lizzie's slam?

[Hedgehog In Da Fog]

I hate watching slams. I’ve noticed that a lot of people who don’t skate love watching slams. They get some kind of sadistic pleasure out of it 🧜🏿

Depends on the type of slam for me, knocks to the head and ligament injuries make me physically cringe. Some slams are just enjoyable to watch though, especially when it's Clive Dixon -

[deathturd]

I love Reggie Kelly's skating, making that horrendous contortion all the more awful to watch.

A little light could have been added to that situation. For instance, an Aarto pun..


"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Reggie's part was cut short...
Zero Apologies"

[WideFeet]

Lizzie for sure. Did anyone else on that list have to be rushed to the hospital?

[somefucker]

yikes that knee tweak from mind goblin got me. tore my pcl and mcl, fractured my knee cap from a similar slam.

[listentoaheartbeat]

I want to unsee those gifs.

[so HSU me]

auguste's knee gnar is the one i can't stand to look at the most

watching him grab it in pain gives me that weird feeling in my stomach.
reggie's is absolutely brutal, but we just watch the slam and have to wonder how fucked he got, but in the mind goblin guy one we see his reaction which makes me feel worse overall.

[tkp]

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Reggie's part was cut short...
Zero Apologies"

well done.

I think Pedro Delfino had some gnarly ones in that Deathwish video

ooh, correct. just rewatched that part. that shit was gnarly. added one of his slams to the list.
