For sure, and tbh Mark doesn’t fit the image and probably won’t win either :roflmao:
Thrasher and Hi-speed are a much bigger business than most people realize. Gotta protect the brand!


Nyjah hasn’t put out enough footage to win anything this year though.


SF skate scene is kind of shitty but SC, SJ and rest of bay are awesome. Good supportive community, some sweet diys been going up in Sj lately too.

This was a legendary ramp when I was a kid. The mush ramp!!
My friend Danny Ha's older brother Pete and his buddy Dave Carnie built it. Sat in a wooded creek area .Us groms were all scared when the sessions were in full effect. Got some old gold

@teeroi I talked to Mike Cottrell today about you. He said you guys met skating in Hawaii. This thread reminded me of the conversation and just wanted to let you know. You guys remind me of each other. If not easy to rip on a skate and rip on a surfboard and both of you do! Two totally different activities even though people think they are similar. :)

nyjah aint a contender.

my vote is for Yuto after that spitfire part but till be a close race. that hollywood 16 aint no joke and he just stomped that like it was 3 stair.
Yup! I've been there. The rail isnt low either. Yuto should totally get SOTY.

Probably dropping in on you, California
not discounting Yuto who I think rips with a super casual style BUT Phelper would never have cosigned SOTY for an olympian.
completely agree.. just my opinion afterall, but Yuto's done enough in the streets this year - plus first olympics winner for the sport is not nothing and should really just cement what is already his. Sucius fkn killed it too - its a close one.

Met Mike at the Cholo Bowl on the NS. I don’t think he knew Steve the owner but hechad a mutual friend , TA maybe, call Steve beforehand to ask if he could skate there. It was kinda the early days when a lot of heads wanted to skate there so we all had our guard up. Met a lot of cool people cause of that Bowl and a few dicks.

When Steve introduced me I thought he said Cantrell and Steve goes yeah he’s Dave Cantrell’s brother. I just go Really? Mike laughs and goes Cottrell. Yeah you’re a little light to be Daves brother. Haha.

Yeah Mike was super cool. I think Omar was riding for Quik at the time and he paid for a bbq and we had a session and Mike ripped. Power skater, sick tail blocks.

He’d come to the NS during the winter season and I’d see him if he skated the weekend evening sessions at Cholos.

Rob used to send me skate stuff. He’d send me pink Roskopps as a joke so I’d exchange them at the shop I worked. Haha.

Took him surfing at a top secret Eastside left and a couple other spots. Set him up on a date with a future late 80’s porn star. Kascha. She went by Allison back then.
