wow

wow, drehobl got snffed again... this a bummer!

DREHOBL!

Drehobl is sick, but MJ ripped it hard this year.

corpsey deservse this shit man. he dedicated his life to the creed. i think all the bay area skaters know who the real peoples champ is. dan drehobl 2oo7 shreder for the people!

it's about fucking time!

dude has been ruling with the best style for ages now.

sikkk, sikkk, sikkk....dude'z got killer steez and a bald head for days...congrats to the man!
now for the real question: will he make out w/hsu on stage?

long time comin but better late than never?

yep corpsey got robbed again. MJ is sick but really SOTY I didnt see that coming at all.

long over due

I've got to agree Drehobl should have got it. BTW I don't think MJ had one photo in thrasher all year that wasn't an add.

Dude, how are you honestly gonna say that Drehobl should have gotten it over MJ. Drehobl is sick, but MJ is king.

i'm really shocked. this is ridiculous!!!!


i was positive ryan sheckler was going to be soty 2007.

haven't seen it, but i guarantee that MJ's scenes in furry frared are much better then dan unbuttoning his shirt in brack and brue vorume two.

drehobl got robbed again!!!

I think you should re-tally the votes. If you're going just off the Lakai video, you got to give it to Guy.

MJ is amazing, but Drehobl has been repping Thrasher for over a decade and has been killing it.

I usually don't care about the skateboarder popularity contest but... Drehobl may be my personal fav. because he is a heap of shit that I can relate to, but MJ is also a heap of shit that constantly surprises me with with what he can do with a skateboard.

just look at the way he lands his stuff... never losing speed and poised for the next thing coming up. only a couple of dudes have this natural grace, ruczick(however you spell his name), silas, dan d., carrol. I love watching how they simply compose themselves while they are riding.

Marc: a true genius who will probably hate all of the attention and drink himself to death just to cope with our ceaseless unforgiving gaze.

dude is amazing and i hope that he will keep on progressing even with all of this bullshit added pressure.

I didn't know Marc Johnson got skater of the year.With that coverage,what a suprize.Hope Sheckler gets a normal woman.
Lets go to the beach and watch Palmer rip the waves.Tuanec?
Sheffler?Hosoi.

dude, it's about time he fuckin won. Congrats Marc, you've always been the shit!

I see what direction Thrasher is going in. Daewon wins last year. MJ steals his 6 year old tricks for Fully Flared and wins this year. Interesting. He didn't even have a part besides Fully Flared this year which almost nobody has seen yet (although I have) and wins. It makes no sense. Obviously he rips, that's a given but I guess they just decided to give it to someone who could have won any year since they didn't have a solid canidate. Maybe Jerry Hsu will get his due next year.

i like marc havent seen that much from him but it was surprising to see his win i think its rad

i like drehobel to dang

but i think hewitt needs to get skater of the year someday

Så jävla på tiden!!

what did mj do this year?

is this a joke?

3 songs of footage and the ender of the Lakai video. Enough said.

Chongo Mota 60/40 bitches.

Marc is a rad skater and all, but how does it slip by Duffel? Two sick and different parts in cataclysmic abyss and feed the need and they came out so close together. johnson gets one part and he's got it? doesn't really make sense, but congrats anways marc, enjoy it!

Anyone else been able to find the interview on the website? The mag says "go to the website for the complete interview" but it's nowhere to be found.

both MJ and Drehobl are in my top 5. i'm stoked for MJ


Seems to be payment for the years of ripping.

But isn't he part of the San Jose dudes that are banned by Phelps?

guess not.

Im a Dan fan as well but Marc is an incredible skater.

i voted for busenitz but i think MJ probably deserved it more.

Fuck yeah, i voted for Dan but shit marc mos def earned it.

It's about damn time......MJ has influenced skating in so many ways....

(I'll say that again, next year, when Corpsey wins too..)

WTF???Drehobl needs to do some faggy tech street shit to get it??? WTF I rip out all the gay ass duffel adds in the mag now,now I got to start ripping out johnson adds.After all this I got a' page left,is he on Blind? NO!!! did he win any contest's?? not that I heard.... I voted for Jake Brown.. and in MY book Brown is the SOTY!!

One trick for Jake Brown and it was a slam. CGHegland-you're a mark bro. Dumbest comment you've made. Drehobl don't need to do nothing, he's already done it. MJ ended the video of the decade-enough said. No disrespect to Jake Brown, but PLEASE!

kooks.

The fake sensation of movie cinema madness.Yeah,dude,I feel like kicking some ass,right now,Yeah.(Preston,you're just like Josh,"No,no,no,hey,I read the book too".).Caveman to fakie.

i called this shit like a year ago

Marc shoul've won after his part in seven steps to heaven...12 years later Phelps pulls his head out of his ass.

Mutha fuckin haters wait till you see fully flared MJ killed it!

Duffle?

Damn, Congrats mj, now you just need to get off of BUSTED ASS MATIX. Get on some good shits not owned by some frat boys. Merry christmas to all and to all buy fully flared.

whohh! "judge Ito" you probably like TWS!! your "street steez nigerish wana-be shit is WEAK!! I wana see you bail like that!! one vid like EVERYONE ELSE SAID.....EVERYONE WHO GIVES A FUCK SAID!! ENDER or not!! MJ is NOT SOTY material!!!!!!!!!!! by FAR... has johnson done the mega ramp!!! ??? tell us know it all!! tell me!! I got a real banger!! justin Smolinski!! he did it before it caved in!! I live in illinois!! and I know this... and DID YOU FORGET THE 720 over the gap????? go skate that kickflip on the 1 foot tall ledge for the rest of your life!!

Thrasher I'm sick of the weak one-time street skater on here blowing there horn!! go skate with Nolan Johnson AND GET SHOWN UP!!! nolan should have a better chance then mark!! I met Braydon SZAFRANSKI this year!! At least he came to MY TOWN!!

I got the video of the decade!! DC VIDEO!! you can't get nbo world record for being FAKE!! oh wait you own it!

now step!

Duffle needs to wear some mens pants before any one will take him seriously. what shoes is he wearing? are you serious's ? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Trashy Honky's have to get paid. Might as well take the euro midget's money. Oh yeah, and mj should leave matix.

Mark Johnson should not have won SOTY unless he's got a conglomerate over voting for him!! Nolan Johnson ripped and got ripped in the pro-tec...I hate to say it...sheckler won the DEW tour..
Skater of the year should be... a skater who travel around the world and is not on viva-la bam...TRUE??

noway duffel bitch wins!! noway!!!or brandon "wigger "beibel... I don't care if he blast's his first air on vert!!! WEAK!! he should have no sponcers!!

maybe raven turshay... or that lil gonzalez from flip!! he rips..

hahaha how come people are capable to talk shit over MJ???? bunch of nerds, go skate and if u can put more than 21 minutes of sick footage for ONE video only like he did, then u should be chosen the next SOTY.

im not tring to be a dick, marc is sick but did he have a video part or anything here besides the lakai video cyz most people didnt even see that

Have fun Marc.

YEAH, i don't see the fagfest of movie premiere's I SKATE!!! FUCK HOW EVERLONG MJ's wana-be footage is!!! fuck him!! i don't care!! it's WEAK!!.... does kickflip in whatever out!! Whatever to whatever out!! GETS OLD!!!SAME SHIT!!!!!!!

AND HE WON!!

i do not approve...

I approve...

does anyone care what any of you shitwads think besides yourselves? end the comments page already schmitty, people like myself are seriously sick of reading this drivel.

i really think JANOSKI owns 2007..I was expecting marc for next year..But anyway, MJ's a maniac on a board..end of story..

on second thought...

nail my dick to a board schmitty because i am pissed off at all of these cocks f*cking my tender and ravaged anus.

pour some cum into my pillaged eyesockets after i banged my mum and killed my father.

I SHOULD HAVE WON YOU BITCHES!

Finally a really deserved award to one of skateboarding's most incredible technical talents!
Congrats MJ and be sure to come back to Portugal someday.

thankyou, bout time this guy got some recognition, sooo good, congratsssss

I voted for my wiener to win SOTY, WTF. It should have won by a landslide, and all of you know it. Besides isn't this what skateboarding is all about my wiener?

dear dickinuranus,

hey buddy, I hope that you are recovering from that rugged anal action that we shared the other morning. I can still smell you on my fingers.

you are my bro, and I can relate to you because you are keeping it so real by telling these kids what's what.

seriously good job dickinuranus, we are thinking about hiring you onto the editorial staff to help us with quality control. just give me a call, I wrote my number on your lower back with a Sharpie marker.

thanks again from all of us at Thrasher for helping us weed out the wheat from the chaff.

tender regards,
Schmitty

Marc... Marc.... MARK ASS BITCHES KEEP HATING ON MJ. He's better than all of you kooks.

Love and Sloppy Kisses,

Aaron

WHAT!!! I wanted Duffel to win...he should have won by far!!! Duffel was awesome this year. I'm so disappointed. Duffel needs to win a skater of the year!!! MJ's good but I don't think he should have won. What did he do besides the Lakai video? We haven't even seen it yet!

are you kidding me? MJ is the man. he has had amazing shit for years and i don't think he even tries to film. i doubt any trick list has ever been made he just stomps when he is around. he filmed 3 parts for the Lakai vid.

I thought Busenitz was gonna win it. But yeah it kinda shocked me since, he hasnt gotten much covergae yet, I should check out his fully flared part though.

how can u hate on mj? ur all fucking douchebag haters

MJs good but to give it to him because he has the best part in one video, and no one has seen it. Like the video hasn't been hyped and dragged out enough,that shit was mad gay. Its skater of the year, the whole year, no one has seen any MJ shit all year. It's like no matter what someone in the lakai video is getting it. i find it hard to believe that he got the most votes.

can't wait to see MJ's part, too bad fully flared premiered two weeks ago though, or Haslam would have taken it with his crazy untied by fate moves and momentum promo and his mini ramp skating at the thrasher/globe mini ramp jam.

PETER HEWITT!

psyched for mj.
they need to show mariano some love!

Super!

This prize should have gone to Dyet. He was the man this year.

yo schmitty,
How about hooking up something new in "the crypt"?

its been nearly a month since the last crypt posting!

MJ? Nah. He didn't get the most votes, that I can guarantee, then again, it's not the voting that counts, it's who Phelper lets win who wins, that's patently obvious. I voted for Busenitz, but Corpsy or Hewitt would work too---even Duffel.

leo romero!!! ever seen that guy at a demo? insane, plus hes fukin good

totally deserved it, 15+ years of skating. None of the people you have mentioned have added something substantial to skating like he did. SOTY for sure, congrats, that's what that award is about.

i'm not gonna say much on here... but go here..

skaterhater.blogspot.com

and see why the voters were wrong and why MJ really does deserve SOTY...

New Crypt shite comin' up... Ill try and get something Monday to scan and get it going. Any requests?

Who? What? Seriously! Lame!

I just stabbed myself in the stomach and pulled out my intestines.

MJ banged my mother and I have sworn revenge on him and his bitch ass friends, but this SOTY shit is salt in the wounds.

harikari is the only way to cope with my shame. Thanks jake for ending my pathetic fucking life.

marc johnson is one of the most natural looking skateboarders ive ever seen, congrats. busenitz and cancer dan also killed this year respectively. Thrasher's SOTY is only honorable trophy in skateboarding. to everyone who is butthurt about the results... should remember that skating isnt about being better than somebody else, or winning the Dew cup, its about having fun...happy skateboarding.

Doesnt any of yall dumb shits know shit about style???? No one skates like Marc Johnson, he has the gift of Grace when he skates that compares to no other... he deserves it

marc has been killing it for years, he makes everythhing look too easy on a skateboard, Duffel and Drehbol are debatable for SOTY though

where's jerry's award???

ele merece... merece muito... diserve..so muchhh..

shameless plug... but go here for my thoughts on this... and for any other thoughts on skating...

skaterhater.blogspot.com

peace...

Mj is so sick well deserved SOTY and the public havent even seen Fully Flared yet

mj definately deserves it. double d is one of my favorites but jerry is second for SOTY in my book.

FINALLY

Canny wait for Fully Flared MJ has silently shredded with style for years and deserves this (not doubting any of the skaters mentioned above as they all have a more than good chance of SOTY)

BUSENITZ!!!

if youve seen fully flaired, then you know he deserves it. mj is the greatest

its like this kids i think it should always be a ATV type of skater like cards and TNT who have won it in the past. Cuz thats what thrasher represents.

Yeah corpsy and mj look great on a skateboard and thats all that really matters. Its nice to see style being apart of skating again. fools are ripping these days.

My vote is for guy ( jesus on a skateboard)

Talk about putting some time in the game and taking a 5 or 6 year break and then dropping the hammers hes been dropping.

hes not known as an ATV but that fool can skate anything.
OFF THE CHAINS

DREHOBL!!!

all you haters out there... go and learn some from the old folkes...the most deserved soty since reynolds, all my respect to cole, tnt and all those... i think the tilt mode army has a lot coming...this is the soty for all of those gits... casewll could take it, jHsu... you name it... all you cool dudes go to school and keedp learning. go to san jose and watch how you do it... ask old cab how to do a lien to tail and then go back and tell ur friends that there is more than flip in flip out to offer. mj is like the david bowie on wheels, if you dont have it its not going to happen, the tilt mode has some troops worldwide to go n shut you down, the dirty south force is with all of of ya...can i get a sticker now?

what does atv mean?

all terrain vehicle ( ATV )

I'm a big fan of the tilt mode! i thought jerry should have gotten it awhile back . but then again i think dustin dollin has been a good choice for a couple of years too. if it was the 80's i would say jason jesse . Not hattin just skating.

yeah thats the thing, people spit junk out of their holes on stuff they dont even know about... i think, im just glad someone who has fun on a board takes it home, some peole shoukd just follow through, that is what enjoi and the tilt mode army show in their videos...pressure is evil... go and skate every with your hoes and tear that crap out... dollin is sick, greco too, he is just finding himself out of that emo stuff, he could take it home too. big ups for all the skaterats in the world... and tiltmoders keep fasforwarding cairos part
