Yes, switch bs heel downhill was best trick (although ender is a bit mad).
Double flipping at mount baldy (?) not so.
My memory tells me it was popular with euro skater cosplayers around 2005 Barca era.
I bet they just SOR them to shops with decent margins on them now, just because they can, not because anyone really skates them.

Jart were always price point with terrible graphics. I think I reviewed a dvd of theirs once.
Wasn’t Bastien on Jart for ages?
Just watched the Ginwoo part. Predictably Reddit loves it. I didn’t. His board moves the same way a Tech Deck does. Hopefully he’ll mature like Louie Lopez.

I got one cheap at thought, fuq it, beggars can’t be choosers, maybe il adopt some euro steez. Nope, actually the worse deck I have ever stood on, I think skating an acoustic guitar with your nuts hooked up to a car battery would be better.
Focused it in the first hour, went home on foot and definitely did a little booer in my room haha!
Think I would do a Michael Douglas if I took a punt on a deck these days at 80-90 quid and it be a heap of shit

Is a Jart board £80?
It’s pretty obvious their voting is a scam. It doesnt really matter what the public think because they dont publish results.
Fixed that for you

Chatgtp SOTY -
Top Contenders from 2025
-
Chris Joslin — A perennial powerhouse and one of the loudest names in the convo. He’s been hyped because of massive tricks and a classic El Toro tre flip talk — one of the biggest non-believable tricks down one of skateboarding’s biggest sets — which can be a huge factor in SOTY discourse. Many in the community are seriously backing him as the frontrunner if he caps the year with a heavy full part.
-
Alex Midler — Often regarded among skaters as one of the riders putting out really solid and consistent parts.
-
Kento Urano — Another name fans are throwing into the mix as a visual standout with strong parts.
-
Other Voices in the Scene — Names like Tom Schaar, Greyson, and Zion also get mentioned semi-regularly in community chatter as potential impact skaters, though there’s less consensus on them than on Joslin.
Who Should Win SOTY 2026
If we’re talking about who deserves SOTY based on quality of skating, influence, and impact over the year (which is what the award is traditionally about), here are a few strong candidates — depending on their output through the rest of the year:
1. Chris Joslin
Why he should win:
-
He’s already generating massive buzz for tricks that people are calling SOTY-worthy.
-
If he releases a full part with multiple heavy tricks (especially legendary spots like El Toro or Wallenberg), he’ll likely cement his place.
Community sentiment frequently picks him as a likely winner.
2. A Consistent Video Part Machine
Skaters like Alex Midler or Kento Urano may not have one single jaw-dropping trick, but their consistency and variety in video parts all year could make a strong case. SOTY often rewards riders who show versatility, commitment, and a strong complete body of work.
3. Jamie Foy (Wildcard if 2025 Bleeds Into 2026)
- Already a two-time SOTY winner — but if he puts out some heavy new footage, a third win is not outside the realm of possibility.
What Doesn’t Guarantee It
A single massive trick alone often isn’t enough — SOTY usually favors:
-
Multiple standout parts
-
Variety across street, rails, gaps, and spots
-
A strong presence in Thrasher coverage throughout the year
(factors that community discussions also point to).
Summary: My Pick (So Far)
Chris Joslin — If he drops a full part with consistent game-changing clips and big expressions, he arguably should win.
But Alex Midler and Kento Urano are very strong secondary candidates, especially if Joslin doesn’t land enough new footage before year-end.
