People in the running who will get on the long-list but won’t get it: Rob Pace, Leo Romero, John Shanahanahan, Curren Caples, Dick Rizzo, Ryassa Leal, Austyn Gillette.
People in the actual running: Miles Silvas, Jack O’Grady, Tom Knox, Yuto, maybe Cyrus.
Thrasher cover for a start and a pro shoe edit, plus Atlantic Drift (anything I’m forgetting with Krooked?). Another edit and he’d definitely be in the mix.
Oh yeah for sure. He’s deffo put stuff out including a couple of parts but personally I don’t think it has been at the normal level we’ve come to expect from Knox.
Could the same be said for Yuto? What’s he put out this year, one full part, clips in the April vid and then that other thing that came out the other day (which I haven’t watched). Has he had a cover as well?
Compared to Mason’s year, or Nyjah last year for example, I’d be expecting another full part from him, given the level he’s at.
Of course it matters to skaters but Thrasher ain’t looking at SLS wins or where somebody placed at Tampa etc. Surely that’s obvious in the fact they give it no attention at all throughout the year?
