AVE’s on another level still as demonstrated in Dancing on Thin Ice. When Guy or Reynolds drop another full length part (especially with Reynolds’ new lower impact, more manual/ledge-based trick selection which I like a lot) I’m sure they’ll both shoot back up to the AVE tier of older pros in my mind.
I know he gets clowned on here for various things, but Chris Cole’s descent from relevance still blows my mind. He was skating at such a high level in his early/mid-thirties I really expected him to be someone who would push his progression into his 40’s. Now he’s disappeared into a sea of CBD and tactical knife ads. I was hoping the return to Zero would come with a full length street part but that still hasn’t happened…
