When I first saw this interview, I thought that Ben was going to get the 2013 Thrasher Skater of the Year award. Every trick in this interview is really gnarly, and he also had the cover with an Indy air off the top and into the largest wall at Burnside (posted below). Most of the tricks appeared in his New Ground and Raybourn Identity parts from that same year. Two full parts, a cover and a feature interview in the mag. I thought he had it in the bag.
Ishod Wair ended up getting the award, and deservedly so because he also had a mind-blowing year of content. But I still think it would have also been a good decision if Ben Raybourn had gotten SOTY.
The interview and photos for the interview were done by Rhino, except Burnett took the portrait of Ben with his dyed hair.
