Ishod Wair, first black SOTY. That image you see in the background will be on a t-shirt. You know you want one.
Omar Salazar and Jason Jesse with Ishod Wair. This is just a small sample of the skateboard superstars that were in attendance for the SOTY Party.
Wes Kramer and Ben Gore just got back from a trip to Japan. Looking forward to seeing that footage.
Ghoul played one hell of a show.
SOTY is forever. Jake Phelps presenting the Skate of the Year trophy to Ishod Wair as the media captures the moment.
Jake Smith from Volcom and David Jurusik from Transworld were in attendance.
This is the last photo on my camera and from the looks of it, Ishod had a good time. Who will be next year's SOTY? Only time will tell.

Instagram is killing off the significance of skateboard magazines. It became apparent a few days ago while I was taking a poop. There I was in my bathroom—which should look like your bathroom with a pile of skate mags next to the toilet—scrolling away on Instagram.
Everything from Ishod is the Best
11/20/2013
Wow, that frontside pivot to fakie on the big deck-less quarter makes you shift in your seat. Scary. Street League has the best of Ishod for you. What from Ishod isn't the best, though? Did I already say that about the last Street League edit. Yep, they got a lot of my favorites in there. The ender is a straight up OMG.

Thrasher's Full Edit: SOTY Naawwsty
3/30/2014
Thrasher just put the entire SOTY Naawwsty video up. For some reason, these things stick out in my mind: Grant Taylor's switch flip, the unreal casual skateboarding stuntery of Cory Kennedy, and wondering how much of a production it must be getting that crew from point A to point B while on that tour. Catch Koston, Ishod, Brock, and more in this one.
