As someone who read every Thrasher disuse since 2001. I can tell you video parts had almost zero to do with the award. You need to think about it. Thrasher didn’t put out videos, they put out ads and articles. So for all the awards from 2000-2010, you would notice a skater in the magazine build up steam throughout the year. Seeing massive tricks in ads and story’s done about them. Usually because they were filing for a part. I remember thinking Mark Appleyard was in every single Ad in 2002 which is why I wasn’t surprised he won. Then when that skaters video part came out the year after they won, you would finally see all the tricks in video that you saw throughout the pages of Thrasher that year. Wasn’t til this decade that it flipped
I beg to differ. Koston-mouse,reynolds-the end,BA-jump off a building, arto-menikmati,tnt-in bloom, apples-really sorry,Danny way-d c video,Chris Cole-new blood, daewon-skate more,Marc johnson-fully flared.... and on and on and on. Even if their video part was released the year before these skaters won,they were still riding off the heat they produced. Having interviews and ads in the mag definitely solidified their wins.
@@nicolasbaker9601 - the skateboard community is small. And the year Chris Cole won the second time it was obvious the whole year he was going to win. This wasn’t because of the video part itself. Each of those tricks were done the years leading up to it. And he seemed to have a banger in every issue. I still remember the thrasher spread of Back to the Berg. And seeing his 270 lip in a sequence. The way to win in prior years was to always be in the mind of the skate community. Posting tricks in the mag as often as possible. Which then can lead to a sick video part in the end. But it’s not the video that cemented it. Pre - UA-cam, the only way to see up to date skating was in magazines.

Hopefully though they will be able to reschedule those dope ones and get those done.
I started skateboarding in the ozark mountains of in fayette ville Arkansas which there were a lot of killer hills to bomb that was in the late 90s even back then there a lot of ba r.c ed r.c
Maybe because Nick was from Real / SF Area? (I'm not sure). But what wasn't mentioned in the video is Daewon's part in DVS Skate More, main reason I believe.
The Thrasher cover Tyshawn got right before his SOTY cover is so sick. That was when he did the flat subway stairwell gap into the street and landing his back wheels on the curb. I mean it doesn’t get much more NY grimey skating than that.
Maybe he don't play nice with others and is unrelatable to average skaters now. Look at how vert fell off in the early 90s. I feel like big rail skating lost its appeal. Imo maybe if nyjah stepped out into the east coast more and not skate only big rails in perfect cali school yards he may have a chance. And honestly I'm over guys crapping out parts a month before the polls open. It's skater of THE YEAR not Skater of THE MONTH.
Nah. Man, he got robbed last year. Nyjah's "need that" should've won it but you know how cruel this universe can be. Its like he was in a gauntlet boxing match, and everyone had brass knuckles in their gloves.
how the fuck has heath Kirchart never won soty his emerica parts to mindfield and dude back 3 the mega as a street skater fuck that heath is SOTY in my eyes.
It's interesting as how Arto Saari was the first non us skater to be soty. Before 1998 videos where difficult to get in europe. You could only get vhs through skateshops or ordering through magazine. First east and west usa and then japan Europe australia and so... Long life to street skating.
GREAT work! Something to also consider is that there will never be another skater to win SOTY two times again. We have so many talented skaters all over the world that Danny and Chris's x2 SOTY wins will remain in history the only two skaters to achieve achieve such a feat.
Sorry to break it to you, but The Boss has come out and said it was his kick flip over the Berce 4 or 5 block that got him SOTY. He said Phelps told him he saw the picture or the footy and said "I'm giving SOTY to that guy!"

The magazine Rowley is showing at the beginning wasn't thrasher, it was early photos of GR in a British skate mag. I think we are talking 91. So I think it's either skateboard magazine, or it could have been sk8 action. Also, rad magazine, tho I think that came later. But he was in the other 2 around 91. Pics from Liverpool streets when they were a lot grottier, rougher and darker places to be.
6:28 I think Phelps meant nowadays (i.e. the last couple of years/last decade), not directly after winning the award. He was still very prominent in the skate business for a while after that. Phelps's attitude is very much "skate for life" and Senn's obviously isn't (check out his Free Lunch episode). 8:23 It was released in 1998, believe me. But Phelps said he gave it to Andrew after seeing him kickflip the Bercy 5 block. It probably wasn't, but he did make it sound like an emotional decision :-D

quick question but wasn't rodney mullen 2002 skater of the year? and if not where is he because he said in an interview that he was named skater of the year but when he got the award it didn't mean as much to him as it did before. it's like a tombstone because you don't achieve anything higher in life - then later came the Hall of Fame - funny guy but where is he? can someone help me with the answer? no time to see the whole video - Thanks
PJ Ladd got robbed in 2002, ever heard of this video called Pj Ladds wonderful horrible life?!?!??! Greatest debut ever! I mean if we're going off video parts he should have won every year after that Strictly off that colleseum video.
Rodney Mullen, Muska Yuto and Nyjah all should have one also Paul Rodriguez. Be cool if Andy Amderson got one, no not a joke. I don't know who has gotten them since 2022, Jeager Eaton also comes to mind. Glad Bob Burnquest got one. I had his helmet I remember, also had P Rods autograph on it and Jeremy Rodgers when I skated with them the day before a Girl demo, Boston was in the demo, but I never went to the demo so just skated with them the night before.
Crazy I didn’t even know who tyshawn jones was until this video. I’m from the city and I just realized I was at Washington square park trying to bomb the fountain 🤯. I was just sparking up with the homie didn’t realize I was witnessing greatness 😂
I have never skated and prior to Epicly Later'd popping up in my feed (because I watched plenty of other Vice stuff) I had never watched or been interested in skating AT ALL. Digging this stuff now, though.
omg thanks for this video, so insightful ! Can't believe you haven't covered King Of The Road. I think this could be a really cool idea for a Dumb Data video!!! I used to watch so much of these videos, but sadly it wen't downhill in 2000 something. It was really cool though, but was getting really ridiculous with the nasty Jaws poop footage.

@@dumbdata34 I do believe if they hit the right octave at the same time it would awaken the great ones and transcend humanity into the next plane of existence.
Good vid, but you didn’t touch on the year tyshawn won, that SOTY was meant to go to someone else but they turned it down. Pretty sure it was Evan smith
That early 2000's Flip team has to be one of the greatest of all time. For Rowley to win SOTY and become the 1st European to ever win it and then Arto, another European, to win it the very next year is epic enough but for Appleyard to win it for them for the 3rd time and Tom Penny to not even get a mention is just mind-blowing the talent they had on their books. They made me proud to be British .... even though Arto and Appleyard are not British, lol. It's crazy too because the 1st non-American to win SOTY (other than Eric Koston who was born in Thailand but with an American dad and was then totally raised in America and learned all his skating there), Bob Burnquist in 1997, was on Anti-Hero at the time but was then on that Flip team too by 2005. I know David Gonzalez was technically on the team too in that 2000-2009 era but he was still very young and didn't win SOTY until 2012 so I probably can't include him when talking about Flip's domination in those early post-millennium years. It's pretty crazy that there have been only 6 genuinely non-American winners of SOTY (8 if you include Daewon Song and Eric Koston, both of whom were pretty much raised in America) and of those 6, 5 have ridden for Flip and 4 were riding for Flip when they actually won. Insane really - us non-Americans really owe a LOT to that 1 company.
i heard jake say that if a pro loose there pay checks and stop skating they are not real skaters, i feel like that comment in some ways (even tho its harsh) kinda explains where he comes from when he said what he said about senn. he dont want people that dont have a real strong passion for skateboarding.
excellent, excellent, excellent review! i wanna say Chris Senn is an awesome skater which when seen live is even more impressive and who put all the hard work for many years. (oh, and who is perfectly right to choose what he wants to do next or when or how...) but i understand there is room for multiple interpretations as SOTY is a very subjective thing.
I could b wrong...but I dont think I am. That sure looks like Tom Penny sticking 1 of his iconic 180° kickflip (or frontside kickflip back in my day) and not Andrew Reynolds. I absolutely could b wrong about that...but I dont think I am
I don’t think there should really be a term such as robbed, in the skating world that is...its about recognition not competition, every skater is different and some do make bigger impressions faster,but I’d find it hard to chose nowadays especially. There should just be a vote or somthing.. if they wanna label it fairly, or just don’t leave it up to one magazines opinion
I've never cared that much about s o t y because it all just seems biased. Obviously from the Phelps interviews you can see they have a certain bias. Obviously all of them are great, but I feel like it's an impossible task to choose one skater who takes the year

How you not gonna show Tyshawn nollie flipping the trash can on flat
I done flubbed it huh. Tbh his flatground tres are otherworldly
i heard jake say that if a pro loose there pay checks and stop skating they are not real skaters, i feel like that comment in some ways (even tho its harsh) kinda explains where he comes from when he said what he said about senn. he dont want people that dont have a real strong passion for skateboarding.
“I’m here on a 5 day trip” 😂
The end was released before 2000 I know that because I watched it before I moved in the beginning of 2000
Buying thrasher and Transworld was an exciting and mind blowing ritual during the 80’s when I was a little kid. ❤
“Tony Hawk, famous for being on the John Rohan podcast”😂
Excellent topic and video:)
Thank you!!
9:47 WTF the board literally bounced on the rail !!!!!
#JustSotyThings
He was trying to frontside noseslide. The fs crooks apparently was also a mistake.
Chris Cole is just so smooth man
great video mate!
just got home from a nice sesh, and have a very pleasant video to watch. priceless
You should put Tony in the " vurt pioneer" catigory and more
Dude... How didn't p rod win after me myself and I? How'd nyjah never win? Or even Smith?
Chris senn soty por vida! I loved hearing that!
Also The End definitely came out in 1998.
Geoff Rowley ftw. He stuns me. I was kid like 12 yrs old watching him in 2003.
He's still killing it all these years later.
11:50 "[NFT] sold for $169 and 420 cents." Seems oddly priced at $173.20
Great video!
excellent, excellent, excellent review!
i wanna say Chris Senn is an awesome skater which when seen live is even more impressive and who put all the hard work for many years. (oh, and who is perfectly right to choose what he wants to do next or when or how...) but i understand there is room for multiple interpretations as SOTY is a very subjective thing.
It started as vert skating and hilighted street along the way , and became all about street after the early 90s,,fk
What about nyjah?
My buddy Jesse was skater of the year one year. Not Thrasher Mag Skater of the Year. Ballplay, Alabama Skater of the Year 2013.
Great breakdown
Chris Roberts gets hungry on it.
WE NEED MORE
Thanks brother!
Did you just pronounce Geoff ROWLEY as Jeff Rollie? Lol
danny way sonning that karen forever goat moment
happy 20k😙
I could b wrong...but I dont think I am. That sure looks like Tom Penny sticking 1 of his iconic 180° kickflip (or frontside kickflip back in my day) and not Andrew Reynolds. I absolutely could b wrong about that...but I dont think I am
its so sunny out but i dont have to worry with all this shade. 10/10 roast would recommend
SOTY 95 PENNY!?
Thanks for the research!
I don’t think there should really be a term such as robbed, in the skating world that is...its about recognition not competition, every skater is different and some do make bigger impressions faster,but I’d find it hard to chose nowadays especially. There should just be a vote or somthing.. if they wanna label it fairly, or just don’t leave it up to one magazines opinion
Evan Smith got robbed after his legendary performance in KotR
"I'M HERE ON A FIVE DAY TRIP." Goodness, that guys voice really is low!
I've never cared that much about s o t y because it all just seems biased. Obviously from the Phelps interviews you can see they have a certain bias. Obviously all of them are great, but I feel like it's an impossible task to choose one skater who takes the year
