The SOTY trophy comes alive (thanks to Cody Green) to let AVE know he's our guy for 2015!

We'll be announcing the 2015 Skater of the Year very soon, but until then check out our top 13 finalists and let us know who YOU think should take the only award that matters.

We cast a wide net to start the 2014 SOTY debate. Check the stats and help us whittle it down. Who do YOU think should win the only award that matters?

Sometimes a video is so gnarly it defies an appropriate caption. Let's keep it simple: the skating here is absolutely incredible and you've got to watch this. Featuring David Gonzalez, Grant Taylor, and crew.

'Tis the season of SOTY. A lot of dudes went Rambo this year, so we're gonna need your help to sort this thing out. We'll start with a broad list of contenders and narrow down the finalists in the upcoming weeks. Let the VOTING begin!

King of the Road is over. Now it's time for the only thing left to give away: the Skater of the Year trophy. Rusty wants to party.

In honor of Chris Cole's amazing year we gathered up sequences featuring the 2009 SOTY.
