DAEWON SONG: THRASHER MAGAZINE SKATER OF THE YEAR ::
Daewon Song represents the best things about skateboarding—innovation, dedication, the hunt for new spots, and constantly teetering on the edge of on-board insanity. For over 15 years Daewon has amazed us with his unique approach to both tricks and terrain, and as his mind-melting mini-ramp part in Cheese and Crackers can attest, he shows no signs of slowing. There are only a handful of true legends in skateboarding and even fewer that seem to get better after 10 years as a pro. Daewon is one of them. His creativity and drive is overshadowed only by his fun-loving attitude and generosity. Thrasher magazine is proud to honor Daewon Song as our 2006 Skater of the Year.

I woulda been stoked to see Jerry take it, but you must admit, it's overdue and better than LAST year's decision

kuark · « **Reply #15 on:** October 30, 2006, 06:07:38 PM »

so this means daewon will get like a 20 page interview in the next issue of thrasher.

ctsskate · « **Reply #16 on:** October 30, 2006, 06:14:53 PM »

So he gets it this year to make up for last year? Sounds like the equivalent of a make-up call if you ask me.

illmatic · « **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2006, 06:22:59 PM »

pshhh. should've gotten it a loooong time ago.

SOFT 7 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2006, 06:24:37 PM »

brooklyn brawler · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2006, 06:29:40 PM »

Jerry will win it next year without having to get any coverage and no sense will be made.

Hats off to Dae Won.

oh well. transworld soty?

its not the same.

i opened this and thought well no shit its gunna be jerry hsu and i see daewon and im a little more then upset. besides cheese aand crackers and the little footage he had in the krroked vid he didnt really produce anything this year. jerrys uber part was pretty much the best part out this year.

as for drehobl his krroked part was good but not amazing. except for the 360 judo i come in my pants everytime i see that.

thrasher fucked up. they might of well just given it to danny way again, even though "they cant"

fuckingvegan · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2006, 07:40:30 PM »

Stoked for him, his recent interview was amazing and Cheese and Crackers is beyond gnar.

Mandown · « **Reply #28 on:** October 30, 2006, 08:20:56 PM »

I find it hard to believe more people voted for Daewon over Jerry Hsu...But congratulations to Daewon.

j....soy..... · « **Reply #29 on:** October 30, 2006, 08:53:10 PM »

likely cause most people are like me and don't pay attention to when videos actually come out...it's like... 'yeah..didn't daewon do that dvs video...and actually a tws video a while back....shit..i remember that almost video too....man...that guy should be skater of the year!'
