Anybody who's ever skated transition knows it takes a lot of balls to go at it the way he does let alone do it with style. Not to mention he skates street with that same intensity. To me the best skaters are the ones that make me want to skate not the ones that make me feel inferior- and this skating is universal. When you were a kid you didn't think, "I want to do a switch flip back tail" you thought, "I want to launch off of a huge ramp going really really fast."
So I don't understand how you can not appreciate this. I enjoy watching and attempting to skate all the disciplines and pool skating is like the soul of skating- without it skating would still be associated with the hula hoop.
To those who keep saying Brandon is the street version of Grant. Grant can skate street! You clearly haven't seen much of his footage. He likes transition better. Who could blame him? It's really fun. Sometimes the streets can get boring for some skaters.
@coliseum2 Fuck yeah it is dude, skating is about riding with power, presence and style... not about how you can flick your board around all small and technical-like
It IS about free will. All those who label it are just another kid phasing it, or stuck in there stubborn ways and with that we leave them be just as so
I can relate to all the people who disagree with him winning SOTY. But seriously, Nyjah will probably win Transworld SOTY so yall quit bitching. GT is sick. Okay Nyjah 270 boardslid hollywood high 16 and then kickflip backliped it right after. Amazing, Seen it on street league before though. Nothing new.
some body please give me video proof of why this guy is SOTY material. i havent seen any footage of him that shows he should be anything more then an am. i see am skaters every day do bigger and better things...unless every trick he has ever done on video is switch i dont understand all the credit he is getting. then again. SOTY has almost always been a hack job popularity contest.
i guess alot of old school guys would want him soty out of nostalgia for the time before around 10 out of 13 skaters were street skaters but i think nyjah huston might be a little better not that he isnt good
grant taylors sick and all no doubt, but people jock way too hard. How many times is a fs air going to be sick? i already knew before i watched this that there were going to be a shit load of fs airs and 5-0s... c'mon, skater of the year? is this really what people think is the best?
SOTY??? WHY??? just cuz he does big airs and stuff?? not a single damn flip trick!! he's definitely awesome, but there are so many other skaters that deserve SOTY. his Nike part BETTER WRECK SHIT, cmon man! CHANGE MY MIND!

It IS about free will. All those who label it are just another kid phasing it, or stuck in there stubborn ways and with that we leave them be just as so
The sickest thing about Grant is that he shred on transition, and in the streets. Doesn't matter.
fuuuuuuuck, I want to skate like that !!!!!
WTF Is he doing at 1:51 ??
god
Free will doesn't exist. Skating should be about expressing our desire for freedom.
After every trick, someone screams.
So much better without music, just the sound of skating is enough...
fools got board control and power like no other
He fucking rips, and that's all there is to it. Go watch his SOTY video. He skates everything dude and that's what skating is. Skate and Destroy!!!
