Nyjah with the rail gnar, Tyshawn with the inhuman pop, T-Funk with the out of this world speed, and Louie with that overall style, this is a tough battle !

im at work but this more important

I appreciate how often he smiles after landing a trick. Such creative use of marginal spots.

Whether louie gets soty or not, he'll always be one of the greats. Year after year he always comes through with beautiful, interesting and insane skating. One of a kind

The huge difference between Louie compared to Nyjah and Tyshawn is creativity and style. Honestly, Louie's just more fun to watch on a skateboard. This part was insanely well crafted, and the skating was incredible. I hate that I'm making this a conversation about SOTY, but I truly hope he gets it this year. Louie deserves it.

Ahhh this is so good. Out of all the contenders for soty, Louie has the best edited parts IMO. Us as the skate community has won this year. Thanks all 🙌🏼

Louies variety of spots, trick selection, control, style, work output, thrasher covers, creativity, etc. etc. He deserves SOTY in my opinion.

i loved tjs footy, i really really do, but louis has it ALLLL. no weakness anywhere in his game. he put out like 4 parts too, hes did it all: big rails, big gaps, technical spots, ledge wizardry, tasteful trick selection, perfect style, jedi board control, hillbombs, thrasher covers, switch game go crazy, gritty spots dont faze him, no cliche bullshit, multiple deadly/life threatening spots(that front feeble pop out made me scream), legendary spots that somehow are not blown out, good fits and imo the songs were different and cooler than most any other predictable vid w rap or rock. he made a part just at one university and stuck an nbd in it, nobody is doing that besides him. WHAT DIDNT HE DO and do perfectly? the other contenders suffer from being too easily comfortable sticking to one thing they do well, like nyjah and big rails, but louis stands out. louie mannnnn, louie is the best he can do anything sotyyyyyyy

Watching Lou go from a little kid to a grown man has been an amazing journey. He deserves SOTY and he already has the respekt of the entire skate world.

Wow I did not want Louie's part to end.

Oh man… Louie got my vote, the trick selection was so dope

Please give this man Louie SOTY please

Louies first line was all we need to see to know it was gonna be fucking sick.

Nyjah, Tyshawn, Louie and T-Funk, This race for Soty is Insane

I think I gotta change my SOTY pick to Louie after this part. He’s been so consistently good for longer than most pro’s careers. Love how he clearly keeps the uniqueness of each spot in mind when skating.

Louie and T-Funk are the only ones that look like they just have fun. That's what makes me want to go skate.

SOTY is now settled. thank you very much Louie for making everyone else think they even had a chance.

Louie is the SOTY imo, his skating is seriously a work of art, and the amount of passion he has for it really shows in his parts.

Louie and Erik make we wanna go skate. much love!

Louie might just be the most versatile skater on earth. I think him and Ishod are a league of their own when it comes to being able to skate every style (handrails, gaps, transition, tech, Manny, etc).

This is what a classic skate video looks like.

Karl Watson is smiling about that that f/s noseslide pretzel. The most proper one done since KW's at Hubba.

this is a certified hood classic

One of the most insane parts I’ve seen in recent time

The best thing about Louie is he makes you want to go skate. He makes you want to go outside and be creative on the board and that is what makes him the best. Tyshawn is sick, but we watch his part thinking "damn he is so so good, I'd never be able to pop that high." With Louie you sit there and think "not only is this guy amazingly talented, but he is so creative and now I want to go to my local spot and try something funky." Nyjah, let's not go there. Louie has been killing it for years, and not a bad word is said about Louie. Thrasher give the man his prize!

Louies style is unbelievable

erik has been so consistent this year. not really enough variety in his tricks to contend for soty yet but he’s still getting better. deserves love for his overall year though.

Such a fan of Erik Herrera, Louie’s great, everyone killed it

Louie creative man, skating new spots and doing new shit on em

Eriks fakie Tre down the set around 3 minutes was such. a. masterpiece.

Louie's skating is pure poetry

Louie is the peoples' soty... this man has FUN and pushes skateboarding not just by doing the hardest stuff, but by approaching everything he does creatively and in a fresh way. Majority of skaters aren't skating because they wanna go pro or do the craziest trick, its because it's fun- it is an escape and an art form... Louie embodies that and does it better than all. Louie for sotyyyy

Ive never even worn a pair of converse shoes before, but I got mad respect to any company that puts out quality videos like this 🔥

toughest SOTY decision in such a long time Louie's style is just so nice I love Louie and I think he's got it this year.

Louie is by far my soty. All the other front runners are amazing but Louie just looks so good on a board. Just a natural. His trick selection and spots he skates are splendid. I enjoy every trick he does in a part unlike some other skaters parts. He is my favorite skater ever

Can we please appreciate how beautifully the music fits to the kickflip and the landing at 15:23 !

Louie is the whole package, style, creativity, technical ability, gnar…Nyjah is pushing the envelope with stunt tricks but Louie is progressing skateboarding AND is fun to watch/looks good on a skateboard. Louie for SOTY!

Louie Lopez steady smashin, always stylish trick selection unpredictable

The way Louie Lopez skates, how he effortlessly interacts with the streets/obstacles is like the pinnacle of how we've all fantasized about skateboarding when we "get that good."

Mannnn the style and control that Louie has is unmatched. Makes everything look so damn good and has for years. Has to be SOTY 🎉

Style is king

I'm convinced. Louie Lopez for SOTY. He just has it all

This is why I love this time of year

Think we found our answers

skating will never die to me.. still the coolest shit no matter what year it is

How did he not get SOTY? That last song was one of the best song selection plus skating I've seen in a long time. Part was ridiculous.

Battle of the GOATS ! LOUIE/TYSHAWN/NYJAH/TJ all BADASS!!!! Such a great time to be alive for skateboarding !

Louie is great to watch! This is dope regardless of SOTY,

The filming at 8:49 is insane. The filmed had to Ollie the double set and get the shot Mad props

Louie is so damn good! This is career-defining.

The skating, style, quickness, wallrides, nosebonks, video editing, music, personality: everything together is SOTY material

HOW THEY HECK ARE THEY GOING TO PICK SOTY NOW ?? Louie is definitely SKATER OF THE STYLE

Louie's part got me goosebumps, he has reached such a level of mastery, he is now one with the object, that's crazy.. his style, tricks selection and the way of how he uses the spots shows quite a rare maturity, his game has never stop upgrading, damn.. That really is a skateboarding god

The ease that Louie skates with is so satisfying to watch.

Too dope, I can't cope... Erik is sick, and Louie is dropping hammers like Home Depot is having a sale.

My pick for SOTY, so stylish and amazing trick selection, unique spots, makes me want to skate!

Louie Lopez, Killing Joke and excellent filming and editing. One of my favourite parts ever.

Louie’s skating is so beautiful! Louie just has that style and overall finesse and fun feeling to his skating that inspires me to skate so he’s SOTY in my eyes! Thank You Louie !!!

Louie what heavy 50-50 macabre in the streets of Dracula, your are S.O.T.Y bro

Louie is this generation's Gonz! IMO, his creativity is how you approach skateboarding doing it with a smile on your face or going hella fast like T-Funk!!!!!

Louie is definitely the greatest skater to ever live bro hahaha no way nobody else competes to this man.

December Louie never disappoints each and every year...

huge props to the filmer too. especially the line at 8:48

Man I really want Louie to win. This year is so tough

Eric reminds me of Kenny Anderson in terms of how natural he looks on a board

Erik Herrera is hella underrated. Skating is all about preference but in my opinion he’s got one of the best styles in street.

Erik bringing the shifty back! Oh yea and Louie got my vote. Great film work by Ryan as always.

Louie’s ollie over that bus bench would have been a poster on my wall back in the late 90s.

Mann I didn't want this video to end, so goooddd

Louie!!!

Please make a rough cut of this it's so fucking good 😭

Okay, skating to Killing Joke, I love it 1000% more now

I was thinking Nyjah for SOTY and now I'm on the Louie train for sure.

The music in this is choice! Not to mention the filming and editing. This is such an anticipated masterpiece that did not disappoint in the least. It really compliments all the art they have given us this year

Ryan makes exceptional videos. Louie is turning into a GOAT. I think it’s time for him to be soty. Been my fav skater for a while. So good. Eric killed it tooo

Street skating at its best turns ordinary surroundings into a playground. LL does it with taste, originality, style, and a smile. This is what it's all about.

Louie's style is so effortless. So sick!

Pure Class, Louie, Oure Class

Hahaha I was driving the van pulling into the parking lot behind Louie @ 10:48. I was working there that day and saw someone skating and thought "damn, how cool would it be if that was Louie Lopez", so I walk over to see what's going on and low and behold, it was Louie fucking Lopez. Incredible part, hope you get SOTY man.

Louie is on another level. The guy can skate any spot, in wildly creative ways. Good luck for SOTY dude, think you got my vote 🤯

Nyjah, Tyshawn, and Tfunk went hard but Louie will ALWAYS have my vote. Style, spot selection, and trick selection always unmatched

That was some of the best trick selection I've seen in many parts, thank you

The real SOTY 2022

give this man the soty award now, he has everything the tech shit, rail, stairs. Full on combo mode. Dope part, Erick killed it too

Grind to grind? Hip to hip? So much speed? Louie’s got ya. Bonkers!!!

Love the edit and the vibe ! nice work ! #LOPEZOTY

Louie

Louie marked everything off the checklist ! Def SOTY material

LOUEI WAS ROBBEDDDDD

Louie’s part was effing incredible. It’s between Nyjah, T Funk and Louie. I don’t think Tyshawn breaks into this top 3. If it were me: Louie would get “Skater’s Favorite Skater award”, T-Funk would get “Thrasher of the Year” and Nyjah would get soty. Maybe TJ for “Pop of the Year”

This filming recalibrated my eyes after the damage done by the supreme video.

Ngl, this feels like proper street skating by Louie. Def tech in the tricks, but doesn't lose the spirit of what skating the street is all about.

Bro louies Ender is literally attempted suicide wtf haha

Here’s the difference I feel that makes me say Nyjah, I felt the same about T-Funk.. there was never a dull moment, I was in constant anticipation, excitement and a little fear for them. I love Louie, been a fan since his hair was as long as he was, but isn’t something like SOTY suppose to give you such feeling and even emotion. This was incredible but I’m just talking out loud here.

Love watching Louie kill spots and always drops INSANE parts and still remember him when he was young skating the Hawthorne park and glad to see how far he's come and living his dream and proud of him.

I’m voting for Louie ❤❤ for that blunt slide in Indianapolis ❤

All the cons homies really showed out! Louie went full annihilation protocol, every clip was either cover or replay worthy 🤯

Erik's style is unique and classy! Deserved promotion to the professional ranks!

YEAH Louie!!! definitely my pick for soty, all round style and creative, spots selection on point and diverse, love it!!!

My pick for SOTY, so stylish and amazing trick selection, unique spots, makes me want to skate!!!
