Escape From SOTY Island

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, Collin Provost, Pedro Barros, Louie Lopez, and Geoff Rowley.

[@DamCrooksta]

[@TheSkatestreamuk]

[@mpchocolatejuice]

Aerials with pretty much style, plain tricks and pure will to skate as ever. i got so many chills while I was watching it.

[@streetbeers6536]

Is it just me or does David Gonzalez have the greatest crails in the history of skating?

[@gettinnapkins]

it's not just you. he does.

[@punkrockjared8628]

+chris yap zu yu extremely stylish skateboarder. also extremely stupid. probably why he doesn't skate anymore.

[@valskog9352]

[@lelandb123]

[@K91242]

That would be awesome getting all the SOTY dudes together and film the session. Daewon Song, Danny Way, Chris Cole, David Gonz, Tony Hawk, Grant Taylor, Eric Koston, Leo Romero, Andrew Reynolds, Marc Johnson.......that would be an epic vid
