Thousands and thousands of votes have been cast for SOTY, but what do the pros have to say? Who are the big dogs punching on their ballot?

The skate world descended upon the Orpheum Theater in LA last night for the premiere of LRG's  "1947" video. 

Torey Pudwill battles a trick and has an unexpected encounter in this clip from Plan B.

The Canary Islands off the coast of Africa were a unique travel choice for SOTY 2014 Wes Kremer. This absolutely ripping edit shows these guys had non-stop fun the whole time. Also featuring Torey Pudwill, Marius Syvanen, Madars Apse, T-Funk, Tyler Surrey, and many more.

After winning SOTY, Wes could pick wherever in the world he wanted to go and whoever he wanted to join him. This video is gonna be a total blast. Premieres here this Friday.

The SOTY party went off Saturday night. Birdhouse was crowned KOTR champs and Wes Kremer took top honors. Check out some photos of the madness here.

Torey gave Loud headphones some sequences from his Barcelona trip while filming for the Plan B video.

We'll be announcing the 2014 Skater of the Year this Saturday night, but until then check our top 8 finalists and let us know who YOU think should take the only title that matters. Congratulations to all our contenders. What an amazing year!

Torey has the skills, and he has heart. He put it all on the line this year to produce one of the most groundbreaking video parts of all-time.
