SOTY Party 2019 Photos
Unless you’ve been living underneath a rotting mini ramp in the woods, you undoubtedly already know that Milton Martinez is our 2019 Skater of the Year. We celebrated his win this past Friday with a bangin'-ass party in The City by the Bay. Didn’t make it? There’s always 2020, homies! Live vicariously ’til then…
Nothing unusual about a cold, wet Dec evening in SF
Good thing the party was heating up inside! Damn right he’s still watchin’

Wheels o’ steel

Hongry and Spider, into the pit
Guzman, Figgy and DAF Noah, always stoked
Stone Vengeance totally ripped shit up
The pit got progressively gnarlier
Not just dudes in the house
Real question from earlier in the night: “Is that Tom Grom?”
Duffy, Wez and Wes—Tres leyendas
Meanwhile…
Somewhat patiently awaiting…
Mark Gonzales brought the SOTY trophy (and some bunny ears) onstage for Burnett
There it is
“Ooo-ga boo-ga…”
Rapid dance moves. We should all be so lucky
Our reluctant hero appears
“Mil-Ton, Mil-Ton!”
Hey, you need this, Milton
Speech!
I just wanna say…
One thing…
“SMOOOKES!”
It’s a family affair
A man of few words, our ’19 SOTY lets his skating do the talking
Then Tommy Wright III took the stage
And closed the party the F down!
Congrats, Milton, on your 2019 SOTY win—the streets never knew what hit ‘em! Excited to see your upcoming SOTY trip victory lap—the stoke never sleeps! Who’s your bet for 2020?!

The Horror
Pain, regret, embarrassment? What horrible shame do Jamie Thomas, Slash, Svitak, Garrett Hill, McCrank, Gravette, J Casanova and Rattray all have in common? Is it that time of the year again already? -

Hall Of Meat: Burning Dan
On any skate roadtrip, the slams add up until you're just a walking bruise. Drehobl and friends paid their dues on this one. "You're doing it wrong!"
