Every year Thrasher Magazine holds the Skater of the Year (SOTY) awards in San Francisco. All of the greats have won the prestigous prize. Last year was Chris Cole who won every major skate contest in the past couple years and was the only other person to win SOTY twice aside from Danny Way. Other winners include Tony Hawk, Mike Caroll, Eric Koston, Brian Anderson with numerous others.
This year i predicted Paul Rodriguez who just dropped a new video part which has a total of 3 tricks that i can do not too mention one of the best street skaters alive. Another selection i had was Torey Pudwell who had an amazing year with a insane video part in TransWorlds "Halleujah". However i predict that the man who is gonna take it this year is the Australlian rookie Shane O'neil. This man not only came in as a wild card in the Battle of the Berrics beating the likes of tech giants Eric Koston and then defeating last years BATB winner Chris Cole. Next he won the last stop of Rob Dyrdeks Street League in Las Vegas beating Nyjah Houston, Ryan Sheckler, Greg Lutzka, Cole and Prod. Shane came out of nowhere and murdered the skate scene with his smooth effortless style and crazy tech skillz.
peep game!
