Louie is good but he's not creative at all, if you would see a silouette of the guys tricks it could be like 5 different (really good) guys. his tricks selection is just the same tricks everybody else does. That being said SOTY should be called TSOTY (T for Thrasher) because it's not about who changed the game but who hung out with Phelps more obviously.
And the fools above me who are dissing my man Tiago should get permanently banned from skateboarding.
Oh come on, you're just talking out your ass at this point.
1. I'm a fan of both Louie and Tiago, but what exactly is mind-numbingly creative about Tiago's skating as compared to Louie's?
2. A silhouette of Louie would be instantly recognizable. He's got grace while doing unbelievable shit, to the point where it works against his favor. Any trick in that last section would be an ender elsewhere.
3. Who the fuck else is doing frontside hurricane half cab flip out on bank to rail, gap out to wallrides over twelve stairs, and shove it rewinds over tables, among more low-key shit like manual backside 180s to start lines and back noseblunt front shove to end lines?
I like Tiago, his skating is nuts and he seems to have a good head on his shoulders, and I'm rooting for him for SOTY, but the dickriding around here is getting a little much. It seems like everyone goes out of their way to point out that he's "better" than anyone else in any given thread now.
