Favorite Spot with Aaron Loreth on West Park

🔑 Interview, Intro & Edit by Farran Golding
📹 Principal Footage by Geoff Browne, Benny Maglinao, Logan Lara & Angel Saucedo

The inclusion of skatepark footage in a video part can be a dubious subject, but one with generally agreed upon parameters. For transition skaters, it’s a no-brainer: who would argue a John Cardiel part would be better without ramps? D.I.Y. spots often fly, provided that they’re rough enough around the edges, rather than unsanctioned versions of a conventional skatepark.

🎨 Graphic by Francesco Pini
📊 Ballot Count by 4PLY

The results are in and we have an official, publicly sourced snapshot of 2024 skateboarding, as voted on by hundreds of people. And unlike last year, when the eventual Thrasher S.O.T.Y. winner dropped a part on the day that voting closed, there were no last-minute surprises. There are some new names, and some longtime favorites who have only ranked 20-11 in the past have finally broke into the top ten ❤️

Thanks to everyone who voted, and everyone who did some writing below :)

This ranking was voted on by QS readers from December 9th to December 13th. Editors and contributors can vote, but this is not a selection curated by QS staff. If you’re interested in the methodology, 4PLY broke down how we tally the votes ✨
