UK SOTY 2025, nominations

1

As Thrasher trudges through its SOTY schedule, perhaps its time we turn our attention to who has been killing it within the geographic bounds of the United Kingdom (plus Ireland) this year.

As per usual, nominate up to 3 skaters each (I will take only your first 3 suggestions), and I’ll put the suggested names into a poll in a week’s time. Then we can vote for da winner! See if you can use your brains to sift through the detritus of the attention economy in order to recall any skating that happened earlier than yesterday, and please justify your choices if you want.

My picks:

  • Jordan Thackeray, mainly for the Lovenskate video
  • Dale Starkie, mainly for his NB exploits
  • Joe Hinson, for going pro and getting a part on Thrasher

@Mike / @franc win Forum SOTY 100%

Mike for the beer ditching and skating as much as he does.

Same with Franc just being out all the time.

Whilst I back your controversial nomination, you cannot win the prestigious UK SOTY title for stuff like this. Otherwise Fos or someone would have won several times over!

Backing Blondey. Went from dislike to instantly watching anything he puts out and actually finding him quite endearing

Let’s not be too hasty mentioning Blondey yet… we haven’t even begun negotiations with his Dad about the level of kickback required yet.

For what it’s worth I’m also backing blondey, which is as much as a surprise to me as anyone.

Did not see that coming given my previous opinion of him.
