Biggest rail of the year will make one more SOTY: Gonzales, Walker.
[close]

won't this year. people have figured out how to lock into rails on that feeble shit and can surf x amount of feet now.

tiago foy and louie are all pretty fucking eligible but if you've met Phelps in person you realize how much of a loose cannon dude is, and is on some dictator shit regardless of who actually killed it the most.

and politics which thrasher is supposed to be above re: Guy
[close]
David killed it and deserved it that year. Stop crying about it, Guy even cosigned the decision.


I could see Foy winning it along with Tiago. Louie still hasn't done anything notable. Don't give me winning Tampa Pro- somebody wins that shit every year, and they seldom also get SOTY for it. If his part that premiered last night is insane, I'll give him credit, but right now he just comes off as an industry insider golden boy

Signed,
Me

Proper trick selection, aside from the heelflip crooks, which seems oddly out of place.

Great part! Not enough to win soty though. Tiago and Foy still are the frontrunners in my mind

wow. imo, most enjoyable part out of the 3 frontrunners.

tiago has the most "wtf" clips like when you see the height of the ssbsts and the noseslide on a wall. jamie foy and louie make you say "ooo shit" with the 5050 shove pop over and the hurricane halfcab flip.

I feel that his parts will stand the test of time. His spot selection is usually interesting, he has a neat style that isn't too robotic (in my opinion), and he dresses modestly. There's nothing gimmicky about him. What a nice boy.

I have been all Tiago this year, but this part really looks like a soty part.  Louie has had a great year, no doubt 2017 is fully stacked with great contenders though: Louie, Tiago, Jaime foy, Miles.

That was gnarly, wasn't expecting that ender. Im still rooting for Foy! But it looks like that flat earth video doesn't come out till the 12th of December. Would be a shame if SOTY was announced before then and ruin his chance all because they were trying to wait to the very end. Either way Tiago or Louie winning would be well deserved.

Do people really think Thrasher is waiting on a Ty Evans helicopter video to decide SOTY?

Came here to say these two things!

Also I feel as amazing as this part is, in a few years he can pull off a career defining part like Dylan's Gravis part.

So I realize Im probably in the minority here, but I feel like SOTY is for ATV guys who crush whatever is in front of them.  Tiago and Louie are both nuts, but I kinda think this award should go to Ishod continually until someone else gets on his level.

Get Louie, Tiago and Foy together for some Thrasher SOTY challenges and Give it to whoever can land a 360 flip in high heels first.

Out of the 3 guys people consider the front-runners, I'd say this is the most enjoyable part, and I'll probably end up re-watching the Louie Lopez footage from this year, more than either Tiago's or Foy's. Louie skates fast and smooth, with a great selection of tricks. That ender was also fucked.

I will add though, I think Shane had the most mind-melting part this year in regards to holy shit, what the fuck. But, he hasn't dropped anything since summer, but between his 10 days in Melbourne part and his Nike part, I would personally give it to him, but he seems to have no traction.

Yo, Louie, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but Tiago had one of the tallest noseslides of all time!

I was thinking Louie was mentioned in the SOTY conversation from the amount of footage (not saying it wasnt quality), but this part definitely has him holding the trophy. Great fucking part

booooooooooo fuck all that SOTY race bullshit people dumping footage in November for Thrasher parts. Ain't even tryin to be slick dropping it for a video or anything. Fuckin dumb award too. Its literally just one dude's opinion, which is probably super arbitrary.

(Not that this wasn't amazing) Heath gap got destroyed this year.

This was a great part. His style is smooth and unique while doing some really gnarly shit. With that being said, I can't say that he's necessarily brought anything new to skateboarding with his parts this year. Tiago is out here doing the hardest tricks on ledges most of us wouldn't even consider an actual spot let alone attempt a trick on. That being said it has been proven in the past that Thrasher doesn't really give a fuck about actual progression so I guess we might as well start guessing who Phelps is going to pick next year. 2018 will be Jamie Foy's first full year as a professional, so I expect we are going to see a shit ton of content from him this year, and I'm looking forward to it.

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

Yeah SOTY has kind of become a big deal hasn't it? In years past there was no poll, no video drop, you'd just get January's issue with the SOTY on the cover and an interview. It's getting a little out of control. But I guess there's good sides to it being so big too - the SOTY trip videos are usually epic.

That was a good damn good video! like 2min in and told myself, fuck the movies I'm going skating after work. Every 2 trick line, the first trick was done fucking beautifully. The lipslide on to the white bump was so smooth I could watch all day.

didn't enjoy this part too much to be honest. i still think that tiago should be soty, louie is an amazing skateboarder but the music was god awful and the whole part was boring for me, too many wallrides i guess
