Well, it’s official. Anthony Van Engelen, the 37-year-old founder of skateboarding’s two most nihilistic new brands in Fucking Awesome and Hockey; owner of last part in the year’s biggest video; and one our personal favorite skaters ever, is the 2015 SOTY… and all we can say is that we wish it had come sooner. Not because AVE has deserved it for awhile (though he has) and not because he’s a certified legend with a moving narrative of redemption (and one hell of a switch tre), but because now, in the year 2015, where hoverboards are real, everyone and their second cousin is on Nike flow, and Wallenberg hammers get dropped on Insta, Skater of the Year simply doesn’t matter anymore.

When Jason Park first exploded onto the skate scene, no one was sure whether or not he was a parlor trick or the real deal.

If that seems like high praise, that's because it is, but trust us: Jason's new Sometimes Skateboards part backs it up. Check it out and prepare to have your mind blown once again.
