2023 SOTY Contenders

[Off Grid Skater]

Unironically, Beatrice Dummond.

[lurkluke]

Sheckler, right?

He blew his load all in one go. Part, doco, my war in the space of like, a week? Keep a little back Sheckles

Plus nine club interview, and Ira Ingram shouting him out - obviously not video part content but he should have scheduled it after the part to keep his name forefront a bit longer.

Probably && for doing 1000 front foot impossibles in 1 year.

[formula420]

Akwasi……

I hope he goes pro this year and makes a real go next year

[mattchew]

Rizzo is easily one of my favorite contemporary skaters but there’s a less than zero chance he would get SOTY.

Also, fuck off man it’s August.

[leafman4000]

not sure who but itll be someone from sci fi fantasy

Seriously tho, I would love to see more footy from everyone in the sci fi camp

Well he’s definitely not gonna win YouTuber of the year with the lack of content

Dick Rizzo is a good contender.

Had a part in the latest quasi video "simulation", another part in the new Huf video coming out in a couple weeks and then another part in the Bronze X Thrasher TV edit.

Wait, what the hell happened to this? There was a premiere and then… nothing. When will it be posted?

music rights purgatory. it's an amazing part, hopefully it's live soon

[cookiecuttersuburb]

Burberry Erry 🧛‍♂️

[Trashcon]

[Changes]

I’m voting sheckler just because

[switchfakie]

BDK

[Sizzle]

Sheckler is cool and I respect his skating but wanting him to win soty is fried.

[Lou Strux]

Obvs.
And frankly, I’m surprised it took until page two for Tio Federico to be mentioned.
The burden of collective shame is ours to bear.

Also…

Burberry Erry 🧛‍♂️

Teh fuh ever happened to this pan-flash mo’fukka?
Seemt like his IG been scrubbed & sanitized: only a couple/few posties up on there. 🤷🏽‍♂️
Nuts to him & his idolatry of fascist symbolism: blatant rehashing of an already long fatigued trope.
Yawns.

[radcunt]

Give it to Shecks just to piss Nyjah off

[Benevenstanciano]

Jack-O

[AllisonChalmers]

It's 2023 and anyone with half a chance of being nominated for SOTY doesn't show their cards until *after* Black Friday.

[roba]

not trying to toot my own horn but i’ve been doing some shit this year

[Atiba Applebum]

Durao has the trick of the year (which was a thrasher cover) and an upcoming part. Don’t think he’s a flashy enough name to sell magazines though   

[BALARGUE]

If Louie loses again i riot

for real

but at this point : Jack O'Grady

Soty thread in August, wtf am i doing here

[dirty ivanov]

Hoping for Jack O'Grady at the moment

Was almost going to say Eetu Toropainen, but I think he's gonna need a couple of more years to compete for the title. He went fucking sick boy on the nike 7-ball video, but he's not even pro yet so can't put him down as a real contender yet.

I'm predicting that hes gonna get SOTY during the next 5 years

[TheDraught]

Gustav.

Or Daan if he starts or is filming again.

[brucewillis]

I heard through the grapevine that Berle has done some crazy shit. Maybe him, but i'll root for O'Grady.

[Stevezahn]

Rick Sebak.

The Mon, The Al, & The O

[Newphone]

Cookies sick for #1 but he's on NB so it's a hard NOPE!

We gotta sick to the rules!
It's more important than ever in 2024. We can't do it.

Sing it with me like you're channeling Tina Turner. The greatest singer/performer to ever live.

No no no no nah nah..... NOOOOOOOOOOOO.... oh woah oooooooooooooh!
You you can't win it's against the core values of skatebloarding.

I hope that Tyshawn just drops a fuck ton of hammersand sweeps it up again.

I'm on bloard for a 3-peat.
Fuckin anyone on adidas or cons will do this year.

Or

We should all be able to write in Elissa Steamer if we don't like the choices.
She should be Soty every year just for breathing.
Elissa is the Spirit of Skatebloarding Future Past and Present.

They got miles of gold chains a rattling behind them.
Old team mates and acquaintances are caught up in the Cuban links like dolphins in dragnets.
See their arms sticking out scrambling for crumbs of sustenance and accidentally discarded purple nugs of greatness as they blow down Sunset like in Beagle's video vision.

Lucky bastards and bishes They lay on the edge of dying but so live so closely to the light they cannot. They are ensnared to the true everliving core of skating that they get just enough life from the light to be dragged on forever and eva buy the undying Spirit of Elissa.

No NB# bullshit allowed gdmit

I know you’ve got a whole shtick on here, but it’s confusing that you’re pro adidas and anti new balance.  And from Boston right?
