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?

Barcelona has been blitzed for years, but something about this GX edit makes it feel brand new all over again. 

Cons Ambassador Jake Johnson recently spent some time in Malmö, Sweden where he hooked up with fellow Cons rider Pontus Alv.

The GX squad rips through the streets of London, knowing that the omnipresent eye of CCTV always has a 2nd angle. 

This quick and raw edit gives you a glimpse into the life of one of skating's rad characters. Also includes Stefan Janoski, Jimmy Cao, and others. The drop-in plunge with Jake Johnson at 0:37 is sick.

The streets belong to us, but keep your eyes peeled or pay the price. It's a jungle out there.

There's more emphasis on creative skating than ever before. It sometimes feels forced with others, but Jake has a truly unique approach to skating. His "Mind Field" part is regarded as a modern classic and he adds to his legacy here.

Jake Johnson is not of structure. Listen to him talk about the end of Alien, skating Clipper with the Chief, and tell jokes. Don't quit your day job Jake.

Next time you rant about a lack of spots, take a look at the sidewalk, prop up a grate, and blast over everything in your path. This edit is amazing.
