love that ave still skates more and is better then 75% of his teams

Seeing AVE do a reg stance big flip was <3
Ave and Guy ripping that curved metal bench was sick but I wish Dill got a trick on it too (Mosaic line style).
This video warmed me up towards Aiden's skating a bit more.

That was good. AVE’s footage is amazing. Kevin was dope, nice to see a decent chunk of skating from him again. And I never thought I’d be defending Aiden but I find it funny how people complain about him only skating.. the way he does i.e. in dirt, crazy manuals etc. Would you prefer his approach to skating didn’t exist and he skated the same way as most other people? I tend to take it for what it is. I’m not a die hard fan but he’s sick.

I love Aiden
[close]

Do you mind me asking why?

He is unique character with his own set of tricks

He is the Sherminator.

I'm a boring grown-up and prefer my fix of AVE footage without the vhs filter, please and thank you.

Amazing skating though, even from K-Rod.

Ave’s sw tre at the end of that line was so fast it was just plain silly

Lukabrazi · « **Reply #37 on:** October 14, 2020, 12:47:54 PM »

really don't understand the Aiden hate. dude rips crazy spots, has unique trick selection, skates fast as fuck and doesn't care about getting destroyed.

he's also got good style on the board imo and I really fuck with his long manuals , fakie / switch , down city blocks, or the one from the road into the dirt hill was fucking incredible.

Francis Xavier · « **Reply #38 on:** October 14, 2020, 12:53:10 PM »

Krod had his best shit in here (from what I've seen of him)

Aiden did a manny down a dirt hill,shine on buddy.

AVE made me feel like I was a kid watching Photo for the first time again. Everything he did was magnificent

Don't mind the filter, but I will when there's a whole Supreme Strobeck zoom edit.

Coastal Fever · « **Reply #39 on:** October 14, 2020, 12:54:39 PM »

These guys all skate like they need a hug.

Skating was good. AVE was great. All the faux punk pants are pretty bad.

Can someone explain the aesthetic differences between FA and Hockey to me?
[close]
If you liked nu metal in high school you like Hockey, if you talked to girls you like FA.

and i loved girls that looked like fred durst, so i like them both

Aidan gets hate because like most people on FA/Hockey he went “pro” without putting any serious work and time in.

DMH · « **Reply #44 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:23:32 PM »

He had some great tricks in Propeller, but that was AVE's best part since Mindfield in my opinion. Got me feeling really hyped up. What an awesome surprise for this year.

That filter, however, did absolutely nothing to improve this video, and I just kept waiting for it to end. Kind of a shame to do that over all this great footage (especially AVE's). Maybe they'll release raw stuff without it. Not gonna hold my breath on that, though.

coldbrew · « **Reply #45 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:24:22 PM »

AVE is timeless. That big flip out of the curb cut going mach 10 was insane. everything about that was great.

rupertspupkin · « **Reply #46 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:38:02 PM »

This is definitely Kevin's best footage.
Ave is still the best.
I almost puked at 10:24

who cares dawg, they turned pro because Dill felt like it. It's his company, there's other companies where people put in time, effort, and work to go pro. i get where you're coming from, but not every company is gonna operate the same.

WarmUpZone · « **Reply #48 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:40:41 PM »

That was really, really good. I tend to like most anything Hockey release does but this was a lot of fun. AVE is showing everyone how it's to be done. This was the most entertained I've ever been by Aiden and K-Rod. Aiden's seems to always be skating way out of his depth, which gives a lot of his trick more tension.

I'm not sure about the filter. It didn't ruin it, which it certainly could've. I wonder if I would have felt this footage was as raw without it, though. And I wasn't thrilled about AVE's song, but then again it didn't ruin it.

I'm gonna go watch it again.

Cuban_Lynx · « **Reply #49 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:43:19 PM »

AVE turns 42 next month, how is he still skating like this?

screen/filter thing is probably an artistic "statement" not worth deciphering. its all too conceivable to me that young impressionable hvx-owners will start doing this to their footage though. would be dope to see the ave stuff raw

Seems to be a sort of film-out process, but with tape(?) Probably no statement to decipher, just an aesthetic choice. Honestly, I'm a fan of how the footage looks. Gain the texture of tape and some pretty distortion in the color. cool.

Stu Pickles · « **Reply #51 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:51:03 PM »

all the skating was dope and I liked em all.

but if i have to watch a strobeck zoom face into the shins again for a trick where all the style is lost in a dumb fucking angle for vibes and aesthetic im gonna mail the dude a catalogue of fisheyes. vx1000 would also give that VHS look without it feeling contrived

again dope skating, AVE is an inspiration

nwgrandpapa · « **Reply #52 on:** October 14, 2020, 01:53:03 PM »

skating was sick, but fuck that filter. if you want that aesthetic get a fuckin hi-8 camera and do it right. the fake grain made it feel like some stupid instagram shit.

stephop · « **Reply #53 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:07:35 PM »

AVE good. The rest eh. That dudes tailslide 270 out was perfect though..

ChronicBluntSlider · « **Reply #54 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:07:44 PM »

Crazy how AVE’s whole section was pretty much at the same (high) speed. Such a good like pace to it.

urbneathme · « **Reply #55 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:09:08 PM »

hate that i felt like i just watched closed circuit tv but otherwise i loved it. ave footage was psycho, especially how fast he was going on that downhill switch tre. aidan's pants notwithstanding, kid is interesting to watch and at least punk enough to pick the forgotten said of the faith/void split, so respect for that. he's also one of the few pros currently doing it that slams that hard and also skates reg, nollie and switch. also i think it's neat that every hockey sountrack features clearly broken cymbals

Idk · « **Reply #56 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:19:33 PM »

The filter won’t be so bad if it’s a one time thing. But many many kids are gonna copy it to the extreme.

Ave footage was so great. Loved guys trick too

Glurmpz · « **Reply #58 on:** October 14, 2020, 02:24:26 PM »

I really don't think that's a "filter", I think they filmed another screen to get that effect - that's exactly what footage looks like when you film your viewfinder with your phone. It's not a VHS look, it's the look you get when you film pixels with another camera.

Regardless, it was a terrible artistic decision.
