Never saw a more solid, professional and constant skater then Frolich….. He doesn’t need to man up…. He’s the man.
kid is good! but he hasnt even put out a proper full lenght video part, unlinke others here on the list! that work their asses off not only on contest and web clips!
Madars is the fucking badman, lanky as a giraffe with the grace of a hummingbird hahah
its his time
Perus 4 life
Two sick parts in one year? Check. Positive behaviour 24/7? Check. Powerslides and polejams on lock? Check. That Northern charm? Check! Europe`s SOTY has it all, Ladies and Gentlemen…Madars Apse!
But Madars is not from the north, he’s from eastern europe…
Same boreal forests as in Scandinavia and pretty much the same weather.
You know what they say: if it aint dutch, it aint much… Nassim for president!!!
Madar mees pa teeev!
)
Tim Zom! we skated together now and.then.in his first two years of skating when i was already in my twenties and he was a grom. i could tell he used his skating as an outlet for some n
negative influences. he attacked everything like a young bull, constantly trying to slay everything and everyone in his path. he did good.
I voted for Youness. You should too.
Aren’t you forgeting someone? Where’s Lucas? The amount of footage he put up this year wasn’t enough???
Jesus and willow r the only pros on this list. I like video parts but only the true pros push the limits of sk8ing usually during their prime. Jesus just has the ill steez. Everyone else on the list is way behind in that department. I could watch Jesus do switch flips all day and do. None of the others would be getting official sponsors if it weren’t for pioneers like the fuckin Jesus. Sorry boys. Jesus is only real man on this list.
You really are a class A clueless helmet… That’s nothing against Jesus by the way, just your idiotic attitude.
Tim Zom for the wiin! A crazy ass skater but one of the best people i ever met when he came to Cyprus and i toured him around the island! had an amazing time chillin skating drinking and amazed us every spot he skated! yeee homieeee hope u get it!
Vote for Youness!
Motivation, energy, love and soul in skateboarding. Always himself, no matter what. Thats what skating is about. By one word, stylish!!!
josef scott jatta
albert nyberg should be here !
Chris Pfanner has a bitchy ass pop
Bringing European skateboarding to a world wide recognition, including a Transworld cover/interview – that shit ain’t coming for free and without doing a great job – no matter what the poll says in the end – ESOTY – Chris Pfanner!!!
ESOTY should Be Nassim !
jesus for europe president..!!!
where is lucas puig?
where is lem villemin?
Pontus Alv! The two Polar promos were really good, but I’m a dumb American so what do I know?
Willow!!! For the Ueberstumpf Parts!
YOUNESS, the homie has mad skills

Madars Turaas !
Josef Scott Jatta fore sure!
Madars & Jesus!
Josef is the most kind person you can find.
To live his life, he has done everything to be a good skater. He deserves to win this price.
1. JESUS FERNANDES
2. SEWA KROETKOV
3. LUCAS PUIG
Good point. 2 of the top 3 pros in Europe aren’t on this list. And how did Raul Navarro, Anthony Lopez or Enrique Lorenzo or Danny Brady or Luke Jensen or chewy cannon not make it. Man 80% of these guys haven’t even paid dudes most won’t last in the industry 3-4 years later
You obviously have a very warped perception about European skateboarding and have not been paying attention to what has actually gone on in the past 12 months. Take a look before you make such obviously uneducated comments. It’s not about who you’re favorite skater is… It’s about productivity, style and overall attitude towards life in general… Who the fuck is Luke Jenson dickhead?
everybody with jesus from spain
they all win !
madars.
Give it to Jesus, he had the best part in pretty sweet. He might not have the chance to win again later, so you should give it to him this year! People like madars and nassim are killing it, but they have many years to win it. Vote Jesus!!!!
Nothing to say ESOTY- MADARS APSE!!!
froelich maaan!! Nobody skates and kills it EVERY DAY but him! nobody produces that much amazing footage on any sort of terrain except manuals maybe haha! jesus is the best, but i think he only filmed like 2 months total for his part, which is mind blowing still. but when it comes to skating, nobody is out there with more passion than mark, and thats what the readers choice soty should be about!!! mark frölich!!!
Jesus for Euro SOTY obviously. The guy has been skating and killing before some of the other nominees was born, a true legend! He has brought so much amazing and dope shit to the scene, it’s incredible. Nobody fucks with the Jesus, as simple as that. And this guy feserves this!!! Oh and Bcn shi, come on filming his Pretty sweet part in 2 months, first of: impossible, second not true! This guy skates and works hard every day to get footage and clips. And on top of that he is just the nicest guy in the world. Anyone who ever met him even just 5 minutes would agree!!!! Jesus euro soty 2012!
SIEMPRE apoyando el producto NACIONAL !!!
Mi voto para Jesús Fernandez.Excelente skater !! Gran apuesta de Stance.
Un saludo a todos y Skate or Die.
Jesús is a Beautifull person.
This kind of list is the worst thing you can do. The freedom of skateboard is apart from this – champion/ looser mode. You would not try to imitate the sad soccer or basket rankings. You are transforming skateboard into a competitive shit.
All this dudes are great skaters…. But Jesús is on the video of the year. Who needs more reasons to vote him? Lets do this! Fernández is the man!
Willow has fucking deserved it. he gives german skaters an ideal and a reason for starting skateboarding.
Nobody fuck with the Jesus!!
vamos Jesus!!!!!your skating is the best,you are the beast
Vamos Fer danos una alegria
Jesus Fernandez
Jesus Fernandez
My uncle Jesus Fernandez has to win !!!!!!!
Jesus Fernandez is the obvious choice here!! This guy deserves it!!
Have you seen the Pretty Sweet video? Do you have any questions? Jesus rules!!!
Jesus es la polla!!
PONTUS!!!
I voted for bastien Salabanzi because he went to street league and did it fantastic there. and his part in the jart movie was off the hook! and he is always so fucking nice to everybody!!
Madars. Good riding style, skills and attitude on riding
madars fucking firecracked the eltoro…what more do you want!
Madars has had a really good year getting awesome footage but, how many years Jesus has been there? And who else on the list can do that technical tricks? Jesus really deserves it, he is the man.
Jesus Fernandez
Jesus Fernandez!!!
It´s weird that the last day of voting Madars gained more than 350 votes. You Knwow? More than words.
You know, you are so right!! It’s the Thrasher Soty all over again…
Oh and I don’t mean this as a good thing! This title will hopefully belong to Jesus Fernandez.
You fools SOTY shouldn’t be giving as a gift thing to the person who’s og and been long enough around, to show respect. Nevertheless if the person has been killing at the constant level for years, if there was another guy killing slightly better, the other one should get. Otherwise it’s like ” better give the og soty while you can, because he might not have another chance”. That’s mislead meaning of this title. It means who was the actual ripper at that time(year). So the award in my opinion should go to the Madars Apse. Anyone thinking suspicious or “Thrasher SOTY” all over again, face it. I liked Guy better, but everyone was so butthurt, because this might have been his last chance and he never got one. That sounds truely like “we have to show our respect to this guy and he’s been skating forever and as he doesn’t have one AND THAT’S WHY he deserves it(yeah, read the whole sentence from beginning and think-skating’s not primary here, but respect(which I support, but not for this title)), let’s give him”, while Gonzalez was as good but in different level risking his butt (that kind of choice I don’t prefer, but facts are facts and putting your health on the line probably has the advantage)
Madars Apse
If there’s any justice amongst the Skate Gods, this title will be Jesus’. Come on let’s face it, anything else is not the right choice! His Pretty Sweet part blew the minds of so many people, it will be – and already is -a legendary part! Nothing against the other nominees, who all rip like crazy. It’s just as simple as Jesus is a true legend, and this title needs to make up for the Thrasher choice!! It’s time to pay some respect to the OG’s, the ones that inspired the younger generation and who we all have so much to thank for.. Jesus IS euro SOTY 2012.
Just one thing, if Jesus doesn’t get this title:
****Electoral fraud****
willow
Nassim guamaz , he killed it this year !! And his so sick!
All the guys killed it this year. Definite coin toss between Madars and Pfanner.
This vote seems like Banana Republic. Element-Billabong pay then Madars win, is logic. But everybody kwows who is the best.
The people is not stupid. This vote has been totally manipulated. Respecto to Madars but Jesus smashed heads with his part in Pretty Sweet.
For sure! It’s just really fucked up that it can even happen. It’s Europe, it’s 2013, Kingpin should not allow such an obvious scheme.
Madars Apse
Jesus fernandez enough said
jesus fernandez for euro soty
willow
chris pfanner. best cab in the game.
Madars
Josef Scott Jatta!
Willow was my choice haven’t paid a lot of attention to the other guys but i have always liked willow he always seems happy and has good style in my opinion but yeah willow for sure..

BASTIEN FOR PRESIDENT
WILLOW for sure! i think people forgot that he put out TWO freakin gnarly full length video parts! and he turned PRO this year! mad respect to the others but willow just deserved it this year. VOTE FOR WILLOW!
Lakai. Fully Flared. Jesus. What more can be said?
Jesus Fernandez!!!! Dopest skater for 20 years! His Pretty Sweet part is INSANE! ESOTY JESUS FERNANDEZ

I’m still taking notes for my speech if anyone’s got anything more to say! Some interesting opinions and points on here! Not much coarse language though! Fuck’s sake!
SALABANZI !!!
i think the best skate is salabanzi c’est dommage kil nest pas es assez mediatise il avait pas mal d’energie et de style dommage kil ne soi plus chez flip on a pa su pourkoi il envoie kan meme de bon tricks mais on est loin de ces flip front board tran,sfert chez jart sa a lair de passe pas mal mais c’eest dommage en tou cas je pense ke c’est lui ki merite la place de european skater parcontre si vous voulez du mike mo capladi j’ai battu son record je ne sai pa si vous voulez me valoriser ou mediatise vous pouvez voir ma video sur youtube j’en fais 7 c’eatit un essai je vous le fait en vrai kan tu veu ya de la competition entre jeunes et de l’intouchable si vous etes cho ale a+ les gens
