Grindline the Band is really bad.
Emmanuel Guzman was fucking charging in the initial heats!

Because I just saw this huge contest held at a DIY spot built by a crew of people led by an antihero pro and filled with antihero skaters, that was won by a pro for antihero and cheered on by a bunch of guys who skate for antihero.

I quit skating for a time due to piling out
That makes more sense, but I feel like you are miscategorizing Raney. Dude lived with Andy Roy and cracked his skull skating on a roadtrip. He fits perfectly within the Antihero tradition, even if the tradition is more commodified now.
