David Gonzales..that Possessed to Skate part sealed the deal in my eyes.

David Gonzales..that Possessed to Skate part sealed the deal in my eyes.

yep

[Skatehead]

Did most of you forget?....
Cuz I sure didnt....

[heshfield]

Suciu's part was as close to perfection as one can get, but its going to be really hard to beat the pure gnar-factor of Gonzalez' part--its between him and Figgy.

[bohemian]

agree with hesh, dude flows like a ninja in this masterpiece of a performance. but i thk the superstar factor is somewhat important to phelps, which this kid still lacks. my money is on figgy.

[fallingskyline]

i'll go with austyn gilette for unlimited

best parts about the video and reasons he deserves SOTY:

1: at 1:10 switchflip bsts made ginger girl in background smile
2: frontnose 270 outs like nothing, does them twice
3: the line at 2:20 whoelse would do that?
4: switch treflip like nothing in berlin (3:14)
5: 3:33 nollie bs 180 switch fs 5050 switch bs 180 out the hard way

all you want, lines for days bsflips high as a building and a style like nothing really matters, and the tricks he does are not to shabby either.

[madsser]

I'm with falling. He may not do the gnarlyest shit, but he has the most style of anyone out there right now.
And his unlimited part was absolutely insane.
Austyn Gilette for sure!

[m.seven]

seems it's gonna be a toss up between the gnarliest and the most stylish

[Granka]

I wanna vote after I've seen the Pretty Sweet-video. Does it say somewhere how long you can vote?

[Permy]

I voted for david gonzalez strictly on that young ender shit

fuck him and his skateboard

[knexzor]

I watched Brandon Westgate's shoe release part yesterday, and realized's it's the best part I've ever seen, period. Nyjah's Rise n Shine, P-Rod's nollie lateflip part, T-Puds Big Bang, all of Daewon's crazy parts, Gonzales Possesed, Gilette's Unlimited, Figgy's and Suciu's Cross Continental are all great videos but Westgate's is just right up my alley with the perfect blend of tech-pop-style-insanity...

[MarcoPoloUSN]

The list is long. Without thinking too hard about it, I chose David G.
Yet there's still at least 5 more dudes that deserve that status.
As of 2012, there's a lot of talented mother fuckers to watch. Wow what a year.

[Dead_Head]

GUY OR DENNIS OH GOD WHY HAS IT COME TO THIS

[thesignguy]

I've now seen every video talked about in here and still nothing had the impact for me than that fucking Gonzalas video.
I would have to say that it will be the most compared to over time. It's just got to be

[replicant]

Yup, David all the way on this one.

[TOATISCOMING]

Did most of you forget?....
Cuz I sure didnt....

In my eyes mark will win SOTY and go pro on the spot

[r0ke]

Anyone but Grant Taylor; worst SOTY selection ever.

**edit**

Definitely either between Mark or Austyn's parts with the slightest of nods ever to Mark for that effortless style mixed with difficult tricks in both stances.

[DonVigo]

Going to sleep on this one.

Jaws' ollie cover earlier this year versus Gonz2's recent cover, in my mind at least.

I know Homoki didn't have quite as much hype, but I think the two are equally gnarly and will have to think about this one with my head on the pillow for eight or nine hours.

[knexzor]

Aw shit I just realized Westgate's stuff was from 2011. Time to reconsider... Austin or Mark. Or Gonzalez or Pedro Barros.... Fuck, haven't even seen Pretty Sweet yet.
This is a good year for skateboarding in videos.

[NotedDerk]

Jaws.

[madsser]

Nyjah.....

[fallingskyline]

ryan sheckler

[Wiltzuh]

Pedro Barros
no...David Gonzalez...
...fuck no...can't decide...maybe jawsy...
Tershy !? Can't say yet.

Gonzy is number 1 yet but wanna see pretty sweet before final decision.

[yumpancakes1]

JAWS!

[DonVigo]

Yeah, decided to go with Jaws. David Gonzalez is rad, but I think he's going to sweep it. Gotta pull for the underJaws.

[Fecal Face]

MARK FUCKING SUCIU

Best style ever. East coast mates.


Edit: Fuck...or Jaws. This is SO hard. HM2 was the best indie skate video ever.

[Hitmanx123]

jaws for now

but gunna wait till pretty ugly comes out. its next week anyway fuckers

[Ladd279]

everyone remeber difference between skater of the year and just video part of year lol. alot of skaters on the list have done multiple things this year

[thesignguy]

everyone remeber difference between skater of the year and just video part of year lol. alot of skaters on the list have donbe multiple things this year

If your talking about winning contest just look at history.

[bohemian]

if nyjah or jaws gets it ill stop supporting thrasher
im still on figgy

[Skatehead]

if nyjah or jaws gets it ill stop supporting thrasher

Thrasher is for the kids.

edit......we havent seen VA's pretty sweet part...
I predict it will be the gnar.

[bohemian]

alvarez' part will surely be a treat.. and its only four days away(!)
but soty shouldt be confused with best part, thats another category.

btw thrasher for kids? nah.

[Slamooh]

Dude, when i see Phelps, when i hear him talking, i think Thrasher is at least made by special kids

And i don't understand why people vote for David Gonzales

[bohemian]

special kids lol

[Fecal Face]

if nyjah or jaws gets it ill stop supporting thrasher
im still on figgy

What? Jaws is so homegrown, unlike Nyjah's bitch-ass.

[NotedDerk]

I sense a battle of who is the most underrated skater coming on.

[madsser]

Okay, to be frank, there can be NO denying that nyjah's had the best year. Also, he does some crazy ass tech shit, that no one else does, and he does that shit in tournaments. Don't get my wrong, I am not a nyjah fanboy, but no one, NO ONE, can say that he hasn't had an amazing year, nor that he's not one of the best best best skateboarders right now.
He deserves, as much as any other skateboarder on that list, to be soty, if not more. Yes Gonz, Mark, and Austyn all had amazing parts, probably some of the best parts in skateboarding history, and I personally enjoy seeing them skate FAR MORE than Nyjah's expressionless skateboarding, but he does do some of the best tech skateboarding out there.
There's a reason he won almost every single fucking contest that were possible to win. I believe, for that, he deserves just as much respect than any other skater out there!


/rant

[Hobbs]

Personally i think Chima had an insane year, yet jaws had an amazing one to! i dont know... im gonna go with JAWS

[Dead_Head]

Tbh I don't really see a "contest" skater winning SOTY (i.e. Nyjah, in most of those dudes eyes street league is wack as fuck so I wouldn't be surprised if that docked him a few points.)
I think the biggest forerunners in this are David and Figgy due to their heavy ties with thrasher as of late (figgy has a fucking bobble head with thrasher...)
Still routing for Dennis (who should have gotten it ages ago) and Guy (also should already have been SOTY) though. Guy is going to be much more competition for the other dudes after Pretty Sweet, according to everyone his part is going to be beyond retarded.
