what video part was the song even used in?
Who would you guys pick for soty then?
I like Jeff Carlyle
T Funk, Sean Greene, Carlyle, Louie seem to be the frontrunners in my mind right now. I think T Funk has the advantage with the generational Thrasher cover. I can't think of a cover that memorable since Tyshawn's subway ollie, and that got him SOTY.
Its a bit wild to me Sean Greene isn't getting as much heat as Carlyle, they both fucking killed it.
I say this without any sarcasm but Carlyle's beard makes him stand out. Sometimes that extra memorable trait can boost a skater's notoriety.
it’s crazy he’s looked the same since he was a kid. like 12 years ago he had the beard and looked 40 but he was in high school
Jeff Carlyle soty would be dope.
If Phelps were still around I could picture him giving it to him or tfunk. They did some unreal shit in SF
Good point. I don't think T-Funk can win SOTY in today's day and age, but in the Phelps era I could totally see Jake Phelps arbitrarily deciding to give it to him after the ollie at China Banks went down.
I can hear the slurred rant about "San Fran-motherfucking-cisco kid. It don't get any more real than than that. Coco Santiago, Phil Shao, big love" etc as he gives the award to Funkhouser.
Haha. I miss his presence in the skateboarding world. A good elder statesman for us, warts, foibles, and all.
