The only Skater of the Year to win the award twice ('til now). This week's Classics is Danny Way's part from our S.O.T.Y. video.

In 1992, a young John Cardiel stepped on stage and took the world by storm with a SOTY award. Skateboarding has never been the same. This part was excerpted from our S.O.T.Y. video.

Mark Gonzales has the intro, but Phelps says it best: "Look up ripper in the dictionary, and you'll see Tony Trujillo. He'll go to your fuckin' park and blow your joint out." Tony Trujillo, 2002 S.O.T.Y.

Still no word on who the 2009 Skater of the Year is, but we do have this prediction from 2002 S.O.T.Y. Tony Trujillo.
