The baddest in The Bay (and Colin McKay!) rolled through for the biggest bash of the year. Join Joslin and gang as we hand off Rusty and set the night on fire. —Ted Schmitz

You thought those titanium Indys were the only big trucks he rides? Nah, the SOTY arrives in style

Stars align, we got the whole McClung roster: Taylor, Trevor and Trent

First, a stop at the warehouse to finish his Christmas shopping

And Bublitz is packin' boxes?! Takes a village

Life imitates art. Right, Neck?

SOTYs in stereo! Look for that TNT interview in the upcoming mag

Lookin' to lace up half of Orange County. The perks of bein' our pick. Now, let's head over to the venue  

Over at the Great Northern, High Speed family members Darcy and Ewan hit the coat check before the crowd 

Our first lineup of lensmen, Adam Anorga, Izzy Garcia and our guy TJ Gaskill. Might be too soon to be Awaysted, but we'll check in later

This is OUR City, remember?

Wheatberry's in the building. I repeat, Wheatberry is in the building!

Been on the road with Thrasher? You know 'em! Dylan, Rye, Burnett, Atiba and Neck

Pointers and pointees, Atiba and the Sterlings make a Zumiez sandwich. Couldn't think of a good couch joke 

Yeah, there's a dress code at every SOTY party

Mike and Ryan been holdin' down The Bay for decades. Stop into Atlas next time you're around

Good cheer was in the air

No hate in this game, Jim and Gavin distribute the LOVE

Dan's got the flick and Tanner's got the clip. We'll see you at Mason Street next year

GX alumni, Nile and Chris, still thick as thieves

Industry insiders everywhere! Shrewgie and Holly

This Thrasher shit's for life: Nile, Alán and our former music editor Jordan still hang

Our tech god Nick, he just likes to kick it with some stylish homies

Santa Commute! That was a shitty pun. Whatever, Kendall made the long drive up and linked with Renos

FINALLY! VIPs in the building! Colin, Chris, Tony and Big Devin

Dave and Kelly came through

Dan, you look different. Oh well, as long as you know how to work that thing

Devin's happy about it

You can only say it once per blog: MASTERLENSMEN! Thrasher's own Brendan Bill, Matt Bublitz and TJ Gaskill. Alright, fuck it, you too, Adam  

That turns the flash on and the other button makes it a long exposure

I think Hustle wore this shirt to get a photo in the blog. Sir, I respect your game

The best smiles in the building, Kevin and and Zoee

Point to the dude who's always on the deck of the ramp

Band name suggestion, take it or leave it: Maddie and the Baddies

Who's Hongry?! Our guy between Rye and Neck, duh

Oh shit, Sarah and Raney are on the dance floor!

You got any Mac Dre?

Looks like it

One of these girls can fight, but I'm not snitchin'

From the streets to the SOTY party, Pizzle and Nile lock it down

Beautiful people everywhere

Game recognize game

The photobooth is always a hit

It works! 

The party blog trifecta: Dan and Joe shot by Atiba

Remember the dress code? Ian and company abide

Ross is the boss, and don't you forget it

Pointers up!

Gregson gets his first break from the Mega Ramp and mega stairs. Congrats on a killer year

Neck's a celebrity at these things

Mixed signals, everywhere!

Alright, fellas, look hard as fuck. Well done

Poe's fan club came through

High Speed is a family business

Case in point. Gwynn and Tony V, our top brass

The evolution of the smile, Will Grayson starts it off with Dan and Doug

Right back atcha, buddy!

Jerome and Dylan talk shop with Deluxe's hard goods god Elliot

Dynamic duo, Devin and Dilo

Come on, not in front of Elmo

That's more like it

Break Free bosses, Hongry and Raney

Need to know how this game works? Ask Noah, Kendall and Taylor 

GOATS! Ellie and Alán lock down their spots for the first act

Which is our returning gods of thrash, STONE VENGEANCE! 

The brothers Beres fire it up

Fuck yeah, Rye. Who needs a tailbone anyway?

Till your fuckin' ears bleed

Now, you guys! Phenomenal set, once again

What do you think? About that time?

Our captain captivates the crowd with a few words of gratitude for everyone who rolls with us

Then Nasty Neck takes the mic to officially do the honors

Come and get it!

Chris...

...motherfuckin'...

...JOSLIN!!!

All those push-ups paid off

Heavier than it looks

Colin knows another SOTY!

You know Stone Vengeance was hyped

As raw as it gets

For the ones who can't

G-Ma's lookin' down proud

You better have at least four parts in the chamber if you wanna hold one of those up, Trevor

Weird way to hold it

There we go. Another worthy addition to the history books

Get ready for the hard post. But first...

...it's MISTAH FAB! 

Givin' props to his favorite skater, Chris "Jackson"  

Get yo thizz face ready

Fabby Davis Jr had to get Sactown OG Apollo Cutts up there

The streets know, just what this is!

Best night of the year

And the post is live! Thank you to Chris Joslin, his crew, everyone who rides with us and the good people at G-Shock and the Great Northern. What a fuckin' year! We'll see you on the road
