Give it to Nyjah. He literally sacrificed his street league season trying to get clips. He finally paid his dues to the streets and showed real sacrifice

You talk about sacrifice?!

Meanwhile Jeff Carlyle is stealing salad from Jeff Bezos so you can see him back lip into giant hills and get French ladies phone numbers. C'mon...

I'm happy to see Gustav and Nik Stain on the list.

Out of likely contenders though, I think Tfunk might actually have my vote at this point. Generally speaking, I like louies skateboarding more than Tfunks. But I think Tfunk has had a better year.

Assuming Gustav and Nik dont make it to the finals.

Welp, just watched the new Louie part..... That didn't age well.

Louie for SOTY. That part was fucking perfect. When you talk about different skaters strengths/weaknesses Louie needs to be known as the dude with the most PERFECT fucking trick selection. Tech, but tasteful, and he goes big with simple tricks and great style. Like others have said, tfunk will have his time.

This year belongs to Louie.

pretty funny that TJ was on the 9 club and said “absolutely no way that thrasher puts me in the running for SOTY” and they were all like “no way bro you will be on there for sure!!” and then they didn’t until people called them out
i don't want to link to the channel because is promotes athiesm.

That Louie part was great and I think he has a decent claim for best skater in the world. But that part was more on the level of Ishods 9 minute part earlier this year. It was great but it was kinda expected. I think he should have won the year West End came out.

 TFunk can’t really go back and NBD China Banks so this is his year or never. Same with Nyjah- I don’t think even he is insane enough to put together that much footy ever again. I think Louie gets it in like 2035, AVE style.

They put way too many people on these lists. Give us the real list then maybe an honorable mention list.

Tyshawn and T Funk blew minds this year. Louie not so much, as good as he is. A skater that’s completely in his own league is rare, and that’s Tyshawn. He fucked it up just like he did in 2018.

It’s called a long list.  Wednesday is the short list.    Winner probably announced Friday

If we are just talking based on footage, I'm voting for Louie. If we factor everything in, I'm voting TJ Rogers.

Im fine with Louie winning for the SOTY trip footage alone. Plus maybe Jake Anderson will do a SOTY push now that it wont get in the way of any of his crew.

(Im voting Carlyle tho)

Louie is in the top 3 for skater of the decade and has so much more appeal than Nyjah who has not skated this year.

Give it to LL, TFunk will have his time. Tyshawn has another run in him with the backing of his new board company.

Heads up guys I guess January to august weren't part of 2022 so any thing filmed then doesn't count for this years SOTY.

My SOTY steals from bezos and goes 100mph everywhere

How TF is Nik Stain a “contender”. I don’t mind his skating, but he goes around doing fast manuals and a switch front shuv nose manny or something here and there and he’s somehow a SOTY contender??? FFS

TFunk all the way. That kind of instability is what thrasher is about. Even Louie's death defying shit didn't hold a candle to TFunk's. Tyshawn and Louie never look like theyre gonna slam or have slammed to get their trick  and something about that bothers me.

Could you imagine if they actually gave it to Fred this year of all years.  That could cause nyjah to have a mental breakdown though. 


Who on this list that won’t win is most likely to win in the future?

My guess is kader.

I think in comparison to his SOTY run; Tyshawn's highlights & output are largely more impressive & accessible this year. Hell, I really think Burnett (& even Phelps if he were alive) is stoked that he went back & re-did his ender properly.

But that said, he was already a recent SOTY & I don't think the social media world is doing him any favors.

So, it's probably between Louie & TFunk. Having seen all the parts, I'm more enamored by Louie's footage but experience a more guttural "holy shit" response to TFunk's. I really really really want it to be Louie, more than any of the other years he was a contender. But I just don't see it happening with Thrasher being Thrasher.

Give it to tyshawn and he’d probably retire

If T-Funk wins he could bring Jeff Carlyle and the whole GX crew on a low-budget Tent City style trip to somewhere with massive hills and they would make the sickest SOTY trip video ever, he doesn't even need a shoe contract... But it does feel like Louie is going to get it still because he's more entwined with Thrasher.

If louie didn’t win it in 2017 I don’t think he’ll get it this year either

That would be so sick.  I think this is the best case for a TFunk win yet.

Yup. Tfunk skated like his life depended on it and hauled ass on everything. I’ve watched his parts several times now and like em more every time. I hope he gets it.
