It isn’t just that Shane can do the tricks we dream about in our sleep, it’s that he does them even better than our dreams! Crazy what he and his bros came up with after a few days in China...

Too many shredders? Glaring omissions? Looming conspiracies? All part of the SOTY experience! One thing’s for sure – the dudes on this list all kicked skateboarding’s ass in 2017. Read the stats, watch the videos and cast your vote who YOU think should get the little man in shorts. Congrats to all our contenders and everyone who ripped this year!

As another year comes to a close, the caliber of incredible skateboarding continues to blow our minds. Here’s our hot list of SOTY Contenders for 2017. Who’s got your vote?

Shane O'Neill's "Levels", Sebo Walker, Jaws Mouth harp and more in today's episode of Skateline.

The internet-breaker is back. Shane is on another level, and that’s no hyperbole. 

Cyril Jackson's "Afterburner" part, Luan Oliveira, the new Shane O'Neil, Johan Stuckey's WKND part and more in today's episode of Skateline.

Shane spent nine days in Melbourne filming lines with a VX in the middle of summer. No single tricks, just mind-melting lines executed with the kind of precision only he commands. Hell YES. The Skate Gods must be pleased.

This ain't your average double set, and the triple is straight up colossal. Bust or Bail was beyond heavy. Skate and Destroy forever.

The video is coming soon, but for now feast your eyes on photos from yesterday's skating-con-carnage!
