Sure Shot.
Tiago has been on quite the roll lately by churning out three full parts of his high tech street skateboarding and scoring the cover of Thrasher. I like that he skated some handrails to add variety to the expected tall ledges. I wanted to find an ad of him on either Listen or BLVD, but that might have been a lot of time spent searching for something that didn't exist so I went with Primitive instead. I think Tiago was still sponsored by DC Shoes in 2019. In a perfect world, he should probably win SOTY this year, but I don't really see that happening. Thrasher needs to impose a one and done rule for the trophy going forward.

Superb photo! I don't understand what you mean by 'one and done' re SOTY - can you say a bit more?
That once you win, you can't win it a 2nd time (like D. Way, C.Cole, Tyshawn J.)
And yes, he's got the DC Legacy on and a DC USA shirt. Going for those photo incentives
Ah - ok - so, putting that together, there's someone who's already won SOTY previously who's expected to win it this year?
Yeah, Jamie Foy will probably be doubling down.
I'm of the mindset that if you win SOTY once then you shouldn't be eligible to win it again. I almost think that was how the award was created back in 1990, but who knows? Things change over time, too. Danny Way is an exception because of the mega ramp. Tyshawn winning it again was fine. Cole didn't need it a second time.
