'11 Platty's

The statues are in the mail.

Here I go again, but not on my own. Thanks to the handful of people that gave input on what to do with the 2011 Platty's, the arbitrary, honorable mentions this site bestows each year, riffing on Thrasher's T'eddy Awards. Since we're talking awards, Turkey had one of the better quotes regarding this year's SOTY, Grant Taylor, who he called an "80's vert pro that can skate street." Take that as you will. The 2008, 2009 and 2010 Platty's can be found at the previous links.

Finding it is one thing. Question is did you dust it off and ride it yet? Heard the spots in Yemen are harsh.

There's actually a sick manny pad on the corniche in Aden, Yemen. I'd skate it during noon prayer on Fridays--when everyone was in the mosque. Jordan had sick skate spots.
