Thrasher Magazine

Mason Silva and Louie Lopez tear through the new mag alongside a special guest who’s also named Louie.

Take a seat, settle in, and prepare yourself for a long haul of heavy skating. Louie is on another level. Can’t wait for the Cons video...

A star-studded lineup loads up into the Wanderlodge and barges across the United States. As you would imagine, the result is a heavy-duty vid!

The Volcom Wanderlodge video is straight-up gnar! Now check the RV article from the January '18 issue of the mag to see the snaps and hear the tales behind the triumphs. Human skate stoppers suck!

When you pack this many rippers into an RV and hit the highway for a few months, the result is pretty obvious: absolute spot desecration! The full rampage rolls out on Monday.

Louie's West End part was an absolute barn burner! Check the photos and read the words from the man himself. Hey, he's buddies with Keanu Reeves! He's worth listening to!

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!

They can kickflip, handplant and switch back tail better than the rest of us, but can they select the perfect SOTY? Check out who the pros want to win the only award that matters!

We’ve watched him shred since he was knee high to Arto Saari. Three feet and a haircut later, Louie Lopez has emerged as one of the most gifted, versatile and beloved skaters alive. Silky gnar, perfect feet and with an endless arsenal of tricks on all terrain, this part captures a world-class ripper at the top of his game. He might just be the perfect skateboarder. Thank you, Louie!
