You know what time it is! Here are the contenders for SOTY 2019. Now cast your vote!

Famous for Arto's back lip over a decade ago, the spot has seen only over-the-rail action in recent years after the kinker was knobbed. The school granted us permission to hack off the skate-stoppers for just one day, and the rest is history. Big ups to everyone who BUSTED, especially Alex Midler and his game-changing kicky back lip. Boom!

The original and greatest raw street contest roared back to life at an undisclosed California kinker last weekend. From Mark Suciu to Jamie Foy and every rail ripper in between, this was one for the history books. And Alex Midler… you’re nuts!

This part is a good warm up to prepare you for what Clive has coming down the pipeline. Check it out.

Vans threw a big contest last weekend with a bunch of skaters you don’t usually associate with the words “organized competition.” Tyler Bledsoe, Breana Geering, Taylor Kirby, Austyn Gillette, Simon Bannerot, Mason Silva and hella more throw down the gauntlet for some fun in the OC sun.

Oklahoma City’s favorite son knows his roots and will never forget where he came from. Kyle Walker was formally honored with his own day by the city and this annual session keeps the good times rolling.

After an unbelievably hot week of sunup to sundown days, the shredding and shenanigans continue as K-Walks and the gang close out an epic trip at a brand new park in Oklahoma City for the 3rd annual Kyle Walker Day.

It would be hard to assemble a more savage squad than this group right here. Foy, Ramirez, Ducky, Axel, Clive, Winkowski and Delfino do damage in the South.

Cutting off skate stoppers, sparking fireworks, getting buck in Chick-fil-A drive-thrus, yelling at frat bros and sorority sisters and skating churches and schools until three in the morning, Bronson survives the South. From the Aug '19 issue of the mag.
