Burnout: SOTY TIME

Skater of the Year 2013, the party


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Well look who showed up!

Burnout: SOTY TIME
Yep, still wearing shorts.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
The wizards behind the scenes, prepping the launch codes.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Tensions high.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
'Can you raise your chin up a little more, please?'


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Here comes the reinforcements!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Always a smile.

And a tale of travel outrage.

The SFC.

Fig and Dave, pre-pre-party.

No, Sally is not naked under there! Whatever gave you that idea?!!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
En route to the pre-party.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
And there he is ...


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Meza's been at everyone of these since Agah, right?


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Tough guys, together.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Add some more meat to that sandwich!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
A soty's caress. Priceless.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
'No way! Is that Ed Duff?!!'


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Cheers!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Smyth mourns his city, unable to provide skateboarding a single indigenous street star.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Sunny holds court in the round.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
City Boyz, everywhere.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
And this was just the warm up!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
SF-area SOTYs. Shityeah!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Later, at the arena.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
A clutching, squirming kind of bro-ness.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Tightened up, momentarily.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Meza don't wanna go side-by-side with Ali Mills' chin. Can't blame him.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Up in this muffukka, V-I-P!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Habitat's Brennan Conroy with Philly's Dom Travis. Thanks for making the trek, boys!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Be careful in that booth!


Burnout: SOTY TIME

Weird shit happens in there!

Burnout: SOTY TIME
Brad.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
The ladies and the Gut.


Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME
Double date! Damn!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
The first musical act.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
All eyes on the stage.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Floridians, everywhere.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Bring your beard, if you got one.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
This kind of excitement never died in the City by the Bay.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Hundreds had hella nice hair.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Crowd was feelin' him, for sure.


Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME
Yep.

That's as close to a thumbs up as Phelper gets.

Pyramid Country.


Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME
This middrift brought to you by the great taste of Monster Energy.

Water out, water in.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
One-fifth of the O'Side Rhoadeses. Thanks for coming bros!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Yes, it was swanky. And Christmassy.

Burnout: SOTY TIME

And then ... a rumble in the Bronx.

Burnout: SOTY TIME
Burnout: SOTY TIME
Ghoul!!!!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
If you were ready to rock, this was your cue.


Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME
Pit of swirling fury!

Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME

P-Stone!


Burnout: SOTY TIME
This kind of horseplay, not a good idea with the Big Dog.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Yep.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Things headed downtown pretty quickly.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Forced back to the stage by a fuckin' robot.


Burnout: SOTY TIME

Burnout: SOTY TIME
And a teddy bear barbarian thing.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Quite a show, but it was surprising that, for all Ghoul's stage craft, their patter was lifted straight from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Which is great, just not especially evil.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Go time.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Neither was long for speechifying this year.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
Short, sweet. Awesome.


Burnout: SOTY TIME
This was a tough fuckin' year and Ishod is a great SOTY.

'Thank you, skateboarding!'
