Above is last years SOTY predictions by a handful of homies that frequent Supra on Friday afternoons and so on. In total we had nine people throw three guesses each into the mix with a cost of $10.00 per entrant.
Although this was done pre-Stay Gold, the predictions were pretty safe, with a few hilarious candidates thrown in to make it interesting. No Disrespect intended to any of the obvious no chancers, but you know they were never in the running.
So heres how it breaks down:
Big Osk:
- Brandon Westgate
- Leo Romero
- Grant taylor.
Sean Mo:
- Heath
- Leo
- Busenitz
Nathan Olokun:
- Chris Pfanner
- Busenitz
- Leo
Jeff Comber:
- Pfanner
- Leo
- Torey
Justin Czank:
- Eli Reed
- Torey
- Heath
Geoff Smith:
- Busentiz
- Leo
- Baxter-neil
Mikey Wenham:
- Torey
- Sheckler
- Shane O'Neil
Greg Boudreau:
- Leo
- Torey
- Heath
Marco Feller:
- Vincent Alvarez
- Andrew Allen
- Sean Malto
So its pretty clear most of us knew who was up in the mix to win it. Some of us were really far off, Justins pick of Eli Reed no matter how well intentioned is an unlikely winner. I don't think an AM has ever gotten a SOTY, so Chris Pfanner is pretty far fetched. Silas getting a second SOTY? thats a crazy one, dunno how you came up with that one Geoff. Mikeys Sheckler is also controversial but this was selected when there was a chance to PlanB video was gonna be released, so I think he was trying to be strategic. Noticeably missing was no P-Rod, no one thought he was good enough to win a SOTY?
In the end everyone was supposed to put in $10.00 and if one of your three won SOTY you got a piece of the pot, well nine people played at $10.00 a person, six selected Leo so there is $15 owed, however no one actually paid.
We are gonna do it again this year with bets opening up June 1st. I'll put my early predictions up in February cause I don't give a rats ass.
