SOTY thread

That’s got soty written all over it

  • ominous title
  • Dway street clip homage
  • Bam, tony and bob support
  • Nb money
  • Burnett and rhino 1 and 2 in thank yous
  • Some truly shocking skateboarding

Keep in mind he’s also been very active at cool comps this year. If he gets it I’m not surprised.

Still want tj or durao though

This must have felt epic

Fucking hell that was amazing

Am really enjoying this ‘flip no grab’ phase of vert skating.

FS biggie looked amazing. No more spoilers but I said ‘WHAT THE FUCK’ at least 4 times

It can’t be as wtf as Gabbers though

Bob’s trick was the highlight for me.

Very pedestrian edit considering how gnarly all this stuff is.

He’s got it for me. The other part he put out earlier this year was equally if not more jaw dropping. Really enjoyable and I can barley skate a mini ramp let alone skate vert.

First trick without pads was dedication

Yeah by an Irish band with lyrics like “It’s the same old theme, since 1916…” in it. The Easter Rising, an armed insurrection by Irish republicans against British rule in Dublin. But America, huh?

No vert button here. That was soooo good. And I’m always down with the Cranberries.

Tom’s been on one all year.

Would actually make a lot of sense, and it would be nice if as a byproduct of him winning, a scab on Lakai didn’t win it because he did one trick on one spot.

Had to rewatch Baekkel’s last part after Tom Schaar. It’s pretty damn gnarly too especially the last half dozen tricks. But there’s also a few too many drop ins. I think Baekkel might get the Nyjah treatment for his fans.

I still think Durao has another part up his sleeve and the switch 360 flip at wallenberg is the ender. Or at least Thrasher’s dangling the carrot for him to try and land it.

How sick would it be to have a transition skater take Soty.

Hasn’t paid much attention to skate output in the last few years but still feel it’ll be Joslin/TJ.

No no no, not this time

Que? What is this

In recent years it’s gone to a skater with a cover (apart from maybe the Suciu year). So…..

Schaar :white_check_mark:
Joslin :white_check_mark:
Greyson :white_check_mark:
TJ :cross_mark:
Gabbers :cross_mark:
Antonio :cross_mark:
Baekkel :cross_mark:

Joslin.

Crossed the picket line with the other annoying nobodies at Lakai.

How can you not be gunning 110% for TJ?

Schaar is sick though

Man it’s so close this year

Bad time to throw Korean Zombie in the mix? Haha

Because he’s a cartoon character. Great skater but hard to take seriously and not to my taste. Skates like he’s 13. But then Gustav or Eetu are never likely to win it.

Hard to pick a front runner this year - still feels like the race is pretty open.
