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.
You do realize David is from a third world country, he wasn't surrounded by perfect spots and parks
Maggie you are really far away to make a good point. Davidcito lives in California since hes ten years old, back then he was sponsored by Vans and Hawk Clothing. He was skating Tampa Am in 2004 when he was 13. He was traveling the world with Globe/Volcom and he wasnt 18 years old. We all know how he was really poor, he talks in the past how he was the guy making money for his whole family at a very young age but he had something special and he was there with the top guns at a really young age surrounded by perfect Cali spots and parks.
Arto was a young boy that lived in Seinajoki when he just started to won the heavy euro contests when at 16 years old, just like that. Then he went to Cali and no many years later he was SOTY. I know Finland is far far far away to be a third world country but the point is that he wasnt surrounded by perfect spots and parks. Instead he was surrounded by really old churchs, forests and snow.
2009 was the worst SOTY decision ever. We made it clear some months ago with a thread exacly like this but instead of just naming people it was about specific about years and people that get "robbed" the award.
