To me there isn&#8217;t one person that is leagues above everyone else.  Here&#8217;s what I think should be looked at:1. Video part(s).  This one is mandatory.  You gotta have at least one bangin&#8217; part.2. Magazine\/internet coverage.3. ContestsAnd you gotta be progressing skateboarding.  Not just upping the stair count by a couple. With that in mine here&#8217;s a few I think could take it:1. <strong>Leo Romero<\/strong>.  Two parts!  I haven&#8217;t seen the Brainwash video yet.  Progressing skateboarding with the up rail stuff, but is it enough?  A bit too much of a hammer kid for me to get overly hyped on.2. <strong>Brandon Westgate<\/strong>.  Best part in the Emerica video. Probably part of the year for me.  Totally pushing ollies over stuff to a new level.3. <strong>Grant Taylor<\/strong>.  Gnarly coverage, but no video part.4. <strong>Cory Kennedy<\/strong>.  Another top part of the year (Sasquatch), KOTR MVP (you know Phelps is hyped on this), tons and tons of internet and magazine coverage, pushing tech\/gnar to a new level, smiles for days.  I could see him getting it next year.5. <strong>Shane O&#8217;Neil<\/strong>.  Sick part, Street League stuff, etc.  I need to get over the Berrics association.6. <strong>P Rod<\/strong>.  He&#8217;s done it all this year and has a video part coming in a week that will probably be insane.  The PR shirts ruin it for me even though he&#8217;s lost a bit of the roboticness.7. <strong>Malto<\/strong>.  Sick coverage, contest stuff, but no video part.8. <strong>Reynolds<\/strong>.  Leading the stair count race and he&#8217;s in his 30s.  I really don&#8217;t like when they give it to someone that has already won SOTY though.9. <strong>Tory Pudwill<\/strong>.  Lots of NBD&#8217;s in his Transworld part, but man, clean up those arms kid.*EDIT* I forgot <strong>Dylan Rieder<\/strong>. \u00a0Lots of people are on his stick after the Burton part. \u00a0I&#8217;m not. \u00a0It&#8217;s got some amazing stuff, but those one footed treflips ruin the part more than a no speed tic tac for me.There&#8217;s probably someone I&#8217;m forgetting.  I seriously don&#8217;t think I can say who I think deserves it.  I just know that Cory Kennedy has probably hyped me up more than anyone else on that list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t figure out who Thrasher will give it to this year.
