SL... ohhh... T... whY 2024 tracker

Disclaimer: Viewer discretion is advised for this thread. Slams can be brutal and life changing (for the worst). Proceed with caution.


Didn't want to give anyone anxiety by placing the letters OTY too close to the letter S, but it's been a while since a Slam of the Year was put together.

Instead of waiting until the last month of the year and forcing us all to dig deep into our fried memory banks, why not just keep bumping this thread with the latest contenders?

2024
To kick things off and honor the inspiration for running it, the person in red combining two of the most painful ways to go down seems to be the current leader. Anyone know their name? Video credits to Pocket Skate Mag / Cristian Navarrete:




Ducky


Joseph Camps - FA / Shocking Moments Caught On Video


Unknown - Slappy Trucks Never Heard of Em




2023

Evan Wasser


Tony Willy


If you've got contenders, share a link and I'll add them here.

I think guy broke both his femurs on that thing last year

[Candied cigarettes]

[Texas_Tone]

Holy shit

[wax poetic]

That was absolute worst case scenario!  Fucking brutal

[SquintinTarantino]

Joseph Campos had a gnarly slam off that roof drop in. I'm old, so I don't know how to make gifs.

[banksandledges]

And, we have a winner!

I was hoping for the “zoom to the shoes, zoom to the face” effect per Mr. Bill’s legacy.

No matter how many times I reload this page it just loops at the moment his trucks slap down (considering the context I’m assuming he doesn’t lock in. Maybe it’s a sign that I shouldn’t see it. But my curiosity is killing me. Plz describe what happens.

Trucks slide out in front of him, and his heels clip the fence, causing him to do a backwards somersault and land on his head while his body folds over itself like a lawn chair. Looks like it was an immediate K.O.

It's not that gnarly if he got up right away.  Which is a good thing...

Checked this thread out to see what Tracker trucks was up to in 2024 and am leaving disappointed.

very well described. I would add that there's an ominous limpness to his final resting position (face down on the sidewalk) that suggests cerebral trauma and the aforementioned ko.

I said “oof” when I read that , so thanks for that.
But I went into a few other threads before coming back here- and it finally loaded. I feel slightly sick after seeing that.

ETA: who is this? And is he alright?

 He wears jorts now

[Texas_Tone]

Dude basically got powerbombed onto concrete from the top ropes

[theoriginalgoon]

exactly what i was thinking. shit was fucked.

[Mongo Lloyd]

That Evan Wasser slam is horrific.

He’s lucky to not be paralyzed or to have hyper extended his neck.

This made my day

[Baswell Cerry]

I'm of watching life changing injuries

[Cuban_Lynx]

That Wasserman part came out in 2023, but it was definitely the slam of last year. So far, Tyshawn seems to be the top contender for 2024.

[apport]

the wasser slam is so brutal, it's funny seeing something that nightmarish in a frog edit

[ohtight]

in that Evan Wasser slam theres a little tuft of hair that gets ripped off after he hits his hair. i wonder if he's bald in that spot now.

Speaking of slams from last year, I thought this was the aforementioned roof slam

[ok boomer]

RIP

[tkp]

sheesh, that evan wasser slam is terrible. forgot all about tony willie's fall from the roof. added those as 2023 contenders and added some to 2024 (ducky's thrasher cover and joseph campo's roof drop in, unknown skater from slappy trucks recent video (anyone know who this is?))

not sure if tyshawn getting assaulted should be included since it's not a skate slam.
