Here's my Top 10 Skate Stories of 2008 in no particular order. It is only my personal opinion, if you disagree tell me about it. Referring to the first one, I know he won those awards for his part in a video released in 2007, it's just Transworld ran their award show pretty far into the year, whereas Thrasher picks a S.O.T.Y at the end of that year. That's why Guy is on here and MJ is not. Photo: MORINformed
