UK SOTY 2024 Nominations

1

Now that Thrasher have selected their choice, we can get down to the real question: which British skaters has skated the best this year?

Quite a tough one this year. Has there been any stand outs?

Please provide three nominations below, and I will then put the most popular suggestions into a poll in a few days. Don’t worry about repeating nominations others have suggested. Provide some sort of justification if you want.

My choices:

  • Dougie George - stuff in Butter Goods and Asics edits.
  • Chris Collins - banging end section in one of the standout UK videos of the year (Debris).
  • Matlock Bennett Jones - end part in Soul Crusher (although I think a lot of this footage might have been older because he’s been coming back from a knee injury this year).

Yeah, definitely. Was avoiding him because Baker has a Deathwish 2 was right at the start of the year. But he had stuff in the AD Vienna/Budapest edit and Nike Quickstrike vid.

We can call it UK and Ireland SOTY. Jamie Griffin was in the poll a few years ago, and he’s Irish.
