And the title goes to...

[DonVigo]

The second coming of the Gonz. Wasn't my vote, but I don't begrudge the kid or anyone who voted for him. He's got bigger balls than Oprah.

David Gonzalez, SOTY 2012. Kinda makes you wonder what next year will be like.

not really surprised,but if pretty sweet came out maybe a month sooner i think guy would've bagged it.

[Monk]

that cop was classic! the look on his face.

[InsideManager]

I voted Gonz based on his pure desire to go balls out and lay down gnarly tricks for us, but like m said, if pretty sweet hadn't been delayed so much, would've possibly changed things, not sure though, happy for Gonz either way.

I hate this dude he's a prick

[thesignguy]

I was really hoping that cop was a stripper. Whata jip

Agree, wasn't really fair for guy imo but oh well

[Ayreon]

how many times did that guy at the end say "fuckin"?

It was a three-way tie this year between Figgy, Mariano, and Gonzalez..with Jaws a distant 4th. But there can be only one.
I feel bad for Mariano considering his career and where he's at right now--its hard to say he'll have another chance at it. And Figgy has been the most prominent skater in the mag this year doing everything that SOTY is supposed to do, but he and those younger guys will have plenty of time and opportunity to win it.
I guess I was pulling for Guy Mariano, although David Gonzalez earned it on sheer gnar-factor alone which embodies Thrasher more ideally, I guess. Maybe one of the other mags can give Mariano his dues..And theres always next year for Figgy.

Nice to see my vote helped him win.
