Yobeat’s Official Awards 2012
By Nick Lipton • Dec 14th, 2012 • Category: Features, Latest, Random
After spending months pouring through the annals of snowboard gossip, history and media, Yobeat has prepared the only 2012 award list that should matter to anyone. It was tough, it took one whole iChat conversation to complete. Tons of people were left out. Actual data was almost completely dismissed as dumb or not very cool. But, after so much effort, so many bad jokes and a few actual moments of awkward silence following terrible jokes at the expense of nice people, we’ve done it; we’ve created the list of lists. So fuck you other magazines, blogs and commentors with shitty opinions. This is the 2012 Yobeat Rider Awards.
Rider of the Year: Sean Genovese
The last two years really paid off, watch DWD for proof.
Readers Choice Rider of the Year: Jed Anderson
Your votes count around here people.
Real Snowboarder of the Year: Xavier de Le Rue
No one can fuck with this guy in his element.
Euro of the Year: Gigi Ruf
He was on Yobeat a lot, got some covers, started some projects and is Gigi Ruf.
Rail Rider of the Year: Jed Anderson
He’s better than anyone so we picked him for another award too.
Contest Rider of the Year: Jamie Anderson
Every bitch died in the X Games, except the non-weed smoking Jamie Anderson.
Female Rider of the Year: Leanne Pelosi
She went fastest in Rat Race, looked good in a ninja suit and made women’s snowboarding look good.
Female Badass of the Year: Desiree Melancon
Best part ever filmed by a lady? Possibly.
Rookie of the Year: Danimals & Brandon Hobush
We couldn’t tell these two scrawny weird dudes apart, so they both win.
Movie of the Year: Dinosaurs Will Die
Finally, the spirit of snowboarding is again caught on film.
Canadian Movie of the Year: Dope 3
Some Canadian told us to do this.

Way to put down the booze long enough to film a part, Dirks!
Cutest Couple of the Year: Ben Rice & Brendan Gerard
Their heartache is real.
Best Wiener of the Year: Cory Grove
Long, sweaty and full of flavor, Cory Grove has the best wiener in the game.
Best Am Team of the Year: K2 Snowboarding
Rail killers, backcountry kids and the freaks n’ geeks that tie it all together.
Largest Am Team of the Year: Nitro Snowboarding
It’s massive, so massive they forgot Josh Parker is still getting free shit.
The 2012 Tedore Award Goes To: Sean Tedore
For being the man, 365 days a year.
Mistake of the Year: The Jibberish Web Series
Shame on you guys.
Corporate Purchase of the Year: Adidas Snowboard Team
Derrick Rose still makes more than all of them combined any day of the week.

What dumb fuck decided someone could score 100?
Best Instagram of the Year: Justin Beiber wearing Poler
Check out more Poler gear in the new “Girls” trailer.
Best Tattoo of the Year: Nate Bozung “Duh Life” Face Tattoo
Branding at its best.
Most Bangable Pro-Mom of the Year: Vera Janssen
Kids chant MILF from the lift.
Ginger of the Year: Colleen Quigley
Her crotch might be on fire, but it’s making so many others hot, hot, hot.
Best Site of the Year: Airblaster
Feels like a friendly place to hangout.
Youngest Person of the Year: Red Gerard
If you don’t count that fetus we found at SIA.
Stupidest Bullshit of the Year: Trying to get sponsored on Facebook
Because no TM on earth gives a fuck about your profile photo.
Industry Intern of the Year: Alex Burton (Poler)
Just try to dispute this award. Alex will stab you and hide you in his van.
Worst Nickname of the Year: Jerm
Second place went to a bum we met in Portland named, “Herp.”
Worst Yobeat Commentor of the Year: ChurrBoy
You’re going to hate your adult life so much. Ps. We miss you, kinda.
Best Commentor of the Year: Jerm’s Mom
Keep it up asshole.
And that’s all she wrote. We’re sure you’ll all argue about these in the comments, so have at it!

Really? Jerm’s mom gets best comments of the year? I thought I made some pretty good comments.
I guess I’m a complete loser. Goodbye Yobeat. Don’t forget to support your local coal productions!

Yobeat you have completely redeemed yourself by going around the readers and making a few nominations. Geno is mos def rider of the year given the choices. Wait to add Xavier to the list. That guy has balls the size of a rhino.
