Another year, another S.O.T.Y. chase, another hangover trying to make sense of it all.
As always, we try to steer towards what our nebulous blob of a QS social circle talked about the most, but we’d be remiss to say that the #1 on these each year doesn’t try to capture where the ~zeitgeist~ landed during that particular time. And like Michael Jordan famously said, “Every ~zeitgeist~ gets the 360 flip down El Toro that it deserves.” 🫡
Maybe your circle didn’t talk about a beautiful front noseslide pop-out or a 80mph dive into mulch from the street, and that’s totally fine! That’s cool you have friends and they have opinions on things. We legit thought Tom Schaar was going to get crowned S.O.T.Y. this year, but when it came time to log this, we simply had to acknowledge that our enterprise is partial to stuff that Coles, Ben and Jasper did.
Thanks everyone for watching this year, but more importantly, thanks everyone for stacking, filming, editing, submitting and …dropping in off high things into sideways propped flatbars. ❤️

Tre flip feels woefully out of place but noted on your comments above.
Sometimes you have to throw the chuds a bone and 2025 was the year of the chud.
I feel like eetu’s ender from the passport part deserved a spot. That’s me tho I appreciate the effort that goes into these vids regardless.
