An impossible question but in an alternate universe: The Chief, Hsu, Guy, Oyola, Dennis, Gonz, Gall, Penny, Heath, Westgate.
Definitely agree on Muska, Duffy and Wray, too.

Totally absurd, but I wish: Fowler and Markovich. Split award to Kalis/Stevie

I could name like 50 more but it's futile. Too many legends.

Foggy was insanely ripped off. Davids part was awesome but that one part didn't add up to how much foggy put out that year.

Hey maybe you should keep in mind David wasn't born and raised in fucking southern California

Where you come from has nothing to do with it. The skating speaks for itself. Foggy put out way more coverage for thrasher that year.

Just noticed autocorrect has changed Figgy to Foggy.

Amount of coverage doesnt either ie. AVE

If it was based on amount of coverage I would have to say Suicu was ripped off.

Natas was an excellent addition! Amazing he never received one. Not that he needs it, most of us are aware

David's part was greater than all of Figgy's footage that year. Don't be regular.

Salabanzi in the Sorry/Real Sorry era. At one point he even had a 30 page interview (well mostly insane skating) in Thrasher)

Imho should have been him instead of TNT in 2002.

That's why trophies and competition in general are stupid. There should be 5 skaters of the year.

Gall. Busenitz. Wray. And I'm just gonna sat Connor Champion for no reason other than I really like his style

So what? David's skating was groundbreaking and a thousand times gnarlier than anything Figgy has ever done. Even his made 2 shit doesn't even match it years later. And this idea that getting more tricks in the mag means you skated better is so fucking dumb. Get the fuck over it. David shredded harder. It was his year.

I don't disagree, but we all know TNT has Thrasher written all over him, style and sponsor-wise.
Funnily, he won in 2002, when his TRANSWORLD "In Bloom" part came out...

If Salabanzi had won in 2002, then it would have been the third consecutive year that a Flip rider won the SOTY, after Geoff and Arto in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Not to mention that Mark Appleyard won in 2003, the year that Really Sorry came out.

Take from that what you will. Salabanzi is a personal favourite, TNT had a great year too.

You do realize David is from a third world country, he wasn't surrounded by perfect spots and parks
