It's that time of year again. Here are the contenders for SOTY 2020. Finalists announced and voting begins this Friday! 

Vase introduced him to the world, and since the Drift he’s become a household name, but this part elevates Tom to the stars. Skateboarding is a thing of beauty.  

Read how Tom Knox balances being a father of three, globetrotting with the Drifters and maintaining a skate career outside of sunny CA in this interview from the Feb 2020 mag. 

Shane O’Neill gets caught in the Drift and lands in the Mediterranean with Knox, Palmer, Brooker and Stain. School is in session. 

Santa Cruz keeps the spotlight on the Henry Gartland as he ravages the rail game. Cameos from the whole team and full parts from Jesse Noonan and Justin Sommer show the full force of their operation. 

Far from the average "team" section, the star-studded Numeric squad stuff the String Theory dossier with bombshell after bombshell. CASE CLOSED. 

Searching for spots from the top of a double-decker is just part of what makes Tom’s approach to skating unique. Through the rough, wet, cold, crowded streets, the Atlantic Drifter explains how he thrives despite conditions. Watch this before you complain about a crack.

Perhaps we’re biased, but this is one of the best videos you’re ever going to watch. From the breakdown of Tom's epic marathon line, to his dynamic friendship with Jacob Harris, the Atlantic Drift star skillfully maintains the delicate balance between adult life and skateboarding.

The Drifters floated to Moscow to experience joint hallucinations, get mistaken as fugitives and break some Daily Bread. Don’t worry, they found time to street style, too. From the Dec ’19 issue of the mag.
