Heath definitely should have won it after Mind Field.

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



...and? It's skater of the year. As in, skater whose level of skating was unrivaled in that one particular year. Not the 'skater who skated the worst spots twelve years ago... of the year' award.

If Daveed filmed 100% of his footage in Columbia and 0% in Cali your point would be valid, but instead it's completely irrelevant.

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.

Seriously, not sure how this is even something to debate upon.

Arto was born and raised in fucking Finland. That place makes the East Coast US look like a tropical holiday.

But what if his part was filmed in Cali, Columbia?

westgate and Dennis both getting overlooked is infuriating.
gravette being overlooked confusing


PRod (and on a lesser but similar page nyjah) not being on the list reminds me that its thrasher's award and is pretty arbitrary.

Dennis really should have won it in 2011 especially after killing Tampa pro like he did and his "Since day one part".
SOTY at this point really wouldn't do him justice.
I also feel like Templeton should have won it at some point in the early 90's after he won damn near everything and did demos non stop.

also didnt ed say he only got the cover of the 3 major mags once in the 90's too and never had another cover? that in itself is a injustice right there

I don't think PJ turned pro until 2003 and Thrasher probably didn't want to have an am as their SOTY. He probably could of added his WHL footage to his really sorry part and stole the ender and SOTY from Appleyard

He probably would have still been on Element if that part  didn't come out
