Thrasher SOTY 2022

[tonitonne]

T funk, even though he has bad style he skates fast as fuck and is gnarly. That china banks ollie is insane.

[3D X-Ray Vision]

Also there’s never in the history of skateboarding going to be a better very guy than bob. That’s the ceiling in my opinion

I don't always agree with you dude but that is a very true statement. The fakie 5-0 kickflip out on the soccer goal pretty much shut down vert forever

[Coastal Fever]

Hoban’s recent Bronson clip, and SLS hubba performance, made me think he could get it.  The skill is there, it just needs to be showcased in a memorable and impactful way.  I love Toy videos but they all kind of blend together.  One or two parts with epic song choices could do it for him.

[Roisto]

How about that Jhcarlos dude? He seems to be on a tear. Maybe he’s collecting footy and is gonna release a whole bunch later on in the year to make a run for it? He’d be hell ride enough for Thrasher at least.

[Uncle Flea]

I’m feeling guilty and shit. I can’t just leave with skaters thinking I don’t like them or appreciate their craft.

I don’t hate vert irl. On tv. To can’t see the ramp shake. Does that even still happen?

Euros rise up

Would be a shame if he's not on the first list
Would be a shame if he's not on the short list

Dude is an absolute monster, don't think anyone can come close in terms of productivity and his skating's just so enjoyable to watch. Doubt Thrasher will recognise him but he should get some shine from QS, pretty sure he had the most QS Top 10 appearances last year according to 4PLY

[BALARGUE]

And he is so nice and friendly
He's a filmer too and somewhat accountable for Marseille's skate scene renaissance

Yeah serious legend, Marseille scene is poppin' off right now

[SatanicPanic]

Any females or non-binary that should be considered?

Rayssa? Yeah I know back lip at Hollywood high is abd but not in a woman’s body. If she puts out a banger part she might have a shot.

[Dr Waffles]

With how big of a deal it has become, it's hard to see why they haven't added a few more categories and give out some other awards. Not like an awards show, but they could highlight some people/parts/teams or whatever.

My Top 4 contenders
 1. Louie
 2. Spanky
 3. Kader
 4. T-Funk

[Lou Strux]

I don’t know who’s gonna take Skater of the Year, but I’ve already submitted my entry for Speedo of the Year to the judges in “The Ranch.”
I don’t really have what it takes, but entered the fray on the outside chance that the top candidates pull a P-Rod (yep, I just typed that) & catch COVID at the last second, thus preventing them from making it to the awards ceremony, thereby handing victory to yours truly, by default.
Wish me luck!

I don't understand the Cookie hate personally, dude is so creative and his parts are always fun (this goes for the Worble team in general).

New Worble video coming soon according to their IG...so that can be another notch in his belt.

[IpathCats]

We should just save everyone from all the BS surrounding SOTY and have Ishod and GT just select one on their own.

[sid vicious]

if only Chima put his parts out this year instead

[OldDirtySlappy]

Too bad europros get no recognition would love to see Gustav get some love

I’m the early 2000s (yea a pretty long time ago) a bunch of the flip dudes got it back to back I think and then David Gonzales. Gustav needs to WANT it.

Rowley and Arto are the only two Euro SOTY's, out of 32 since 1990. At one point Salabanzi deserved it for sure but instead they gave him a 30 page "blowout" interview that year.

Every big international who has won SOTY had relocated to the States. Bob, Arto, Rowley, Apples, Milton and Daveed were all living in California. I don't think they've ever given it to someone who didn't reside in the US. I think the guys with the best shots at doing that in recent years were Chima (although he's lived in the states and is stacked sponsor wise) and Tom Knox.

The list of SOTY's who won it while not living in California is probably pretty short. I believe Ishod and Grant won while living in Philly and Atlanta respectively. Tyshawn and Suciu won while living in NYC. I believe Silas won while living in SF, but could have been back in Oregon by then.

Tom Knox really has to be in the running this year. So excited for whatever footage he drops.

The thing about Tom Knox is that the shit he is skating is often so crusty that its more difficult than whatever California spots. To take him out of his element and drop him in California might undersell his unique skillset.

Genuine question, who tf is hating on Cookie? He seems to be universally loved from what I see.
