I'd love to see a masters video series, or some shit, but if I want to see old dudes fucking around on small obstacles without the benefit of editing, I'll just turn the camera on myself.
Besides, if I head to any regularly occurring curb session, I likely to run into a bunch of "Masters" age former pros anyways.
In short, good luck getting up a sizable enough viewing audience to make such an endeavor financially viable.
I am in favor of the idea, though.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Bank, quarter pipe (for speed), manual pad, ledge and maybe a flat bar. Small/low Hubba.
I would watch if you could get dudes like Lotti to participate

Doubtful. It is a lot easier to get air/boot out of a bowl than it is to get a a decent amount of pop when you are out of your prime. Less technical bowl/vert skating is way more exciting to watch than someone skating a 6 inch flat bar or a 3 stair. If it happens it will just be a slappy contest.

Tommy Guerrero was asked about this in an interview and basically said no one wants to watch old guys struggling on small street obstacles especially the veteran pros themselves.

I kinda do, that’s why I brought it up. I was stoked on Ron Allen being at Tampa, he’s older than TG.

^^ Ron Allen's run was about the best part of that Tampa for me.

Any legend contest would be dominated by Ray.

Major League Baseball has these fantasy camps where a bunch of middle-aged dweebs fork over some serious dough to have a bunch of retired baseball players pretend to be their friends for a week.

These older pros should try to do the same thing.  I bet there’s a lot of Jonah Hill types that would gladly drop $5,000 to have Guy Mariano pretend to be impressed by their front shoves.
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

They already have this, it's called the Tampa Pro Team Manager and Industry VIP Contest.

Middle-aged dweeb: How'd you like that shuv?

Guy: Reminds me of my spiral into drug addiction.

Middle-aged dweeb: Nice.

I guess 50 and over would work....I have a feeling there are some dudes no one cares about ripping super hard with all the parks out there....40 and over makes no sense since its dudes like AVE....

Street exponentially advanced where bowl didn't.....so combi works...

I back it.  I fully enjoyed Ron Allen's run at the last Tampa Pro and would love to see 50+ dudes on the streets.  Hensley just turned 50 so someone make this happen
