Chris Cole is Thrasher’s SOTY again and I must say that bums me out.  Not that it really matters, but it just seems ridiculous.  Sure, Cole may have won the most contests this year, but really?  I don’t see him influencing skaters and his style is hideous.  He looked so bad at BATB2 that I started routing for PRod.  And that’s saying a lot!  My pick would have been Busenitz.  He may have not “done anything for the mag”, but he has started a whole new wave of all terrain fast as hell complete destruction warriors.  To me Busenitz fits the whole Thrasher “Skate and Destroy” motto way better than Mr Cole’s robotic and boring style.  Once again, I don’t really care that much, but I’ve seen Chris Cole skate in person and it was absolutely nothing special.  I have also seen Busenitz skate in person and it hyped me up to skate for weeks.  So to see Chris Cole get such a distinguished award twice while the best skater ever goes unnoticed, it bums me out a little.
