Dennis Busenitz, Bobby Worrest, Stefan Janoski

its so close between these 3, all equally killing it this year..maybe janoski with the edge cause the 2 parts, tons of coverage as of late and he won best trick at tampa pro..

and i refuse to read any thread regarding the lakai video, so maybe my opinion will change after i see it.

Dennis Busenitz, Bobby Worrest, Stefan Janoski

those are the top guys I would say deserve it if we are going by the way its worked in the past and how skater of the year represents the year, one of these guys has done it with the video partst and keeping their name in conversation throughout the year.

If Guys footage had been shown BEFORE late November, I'd obviously think it would be him and his comeback...but it didnt happen that way. Hopefully he can last through 08 and win it then.

Reynolds and Koston are both contenders, but winning twice seems unlikely. Reynolds has had 2 jaw dropping covers and Koston won Tampa in the early part of the year, as well as a cover later on and then the Lakai part.

overall, im going with Busenitz. If not him, itll be a Lakai guy.

agreed....  worrest had tonnes of coverage this year....  i just hope it doesnt end up with duffel...

[bothersome]

worrest will probably win rookie.
as much as i'd like to nominate guy id have to say busenitz and stefan have both done a lot this year.
it's been a great year for a lot of people.

[Larry David]

I hope Mariano wins it.
He's been around forever and never won. He definitely deserves it.
I'd be hyped if MJ or Busenitz won it though, but if Marino wins, that'll be the best choice.

lol, best qb to never win a super bowl.

and i just watched worrest's eSpecial part for the 75th time, im leaning towards him now.

[NickDagger]

Damn this is a tough call, even though I already made a topic about this, which was on page 8 or some shit.

Anywayz.

Lots of dudes have been killing this year, but mainly Ali and Ben Pappas.

[thomas84]

Ryan Sheckler is obviously going to win...










kidding.

[Orgone]

[swissenheights]

mj or worrest

[toque]

i don't really care much about the award "skater of the year" besides the fact that you get to read an interview with somebody good,  in wich case most of the names mentioned would be great.......i just hope it isn't corey duffle.  he always has interviews and coverage polluting magazines and stuff......

i hope its marc johnson just to see some good photos of him......

[parkingblockdog]

Robert Worrest should win it hands down he has had so much fucking coverage all of which was sick, there might be some good parts in the Lakai video, but I will not support any of the skaters for SOTY until I get to see the video and unless Lakai leaks it online that will be after I vote for SOTY.  Corey Duffel should get some kind of lifetime achievement award for skating the most rollerblading spots and looking like a rollerblader, but doing so not on a pair of Rollerblades.

I am at work rambaling on about my hate for Corey Duffel, my comment was kind of stupid though.  My point was just that most of the spots he skates could be taken straight out of a rollerblading video.  I don't know, his whole approach toward skating is just reminiscent of a rollerblader to me, he just wants to throw himself down rails with no creativity or style.

Its ok I have the worst post on here.

[I SUCK!]

It's MJ.

[monster network]

mariano filmed his part in prety much just under 2 years. alot of the rest of the lakai team did theirs in 4-5. thats a two song part, in 2 years, all of it killer. i hope it's mariano. other than that busenitz or worrest would be great too

[thumbhead]

It's MJ.

oh really.
so what'd you think of Fully Flared?

Yeah MJ photos are pretty rare. On the topic of interviews, the last MJ "interview" I remember, was just random ramblings by him. I remember being super-stoked getting the mag, like, "Yes, Marc Johnson" and being really let down by the article. Sick photos but I actually enjoy reading interviews.

[pher]

guy mariano for sure. he had alot of coverage, the comeback thing, and his part in fully flared was too good. im sayin him.

I'm only assuming MJ will have a barrage of coverage coming out and his 3 song part was ridiculous.

The Lakai video was the gnarliest thing I've seen since Questionable.
It blew away my expectations.

ironically, only a rollerblader would be unable to realize how good corey duffel is at skateboarding.
