AVE on free pass?
« on: November 24, 2021, 01:06:40 PM »
AVE has been dragging around that green curved bench for a while. It has made an appearance in multiple parts of his. I believe he has an interview where talks about saving/stealing it from some spot.

Pals would tear apart most skaters if they did that.

Why does he get a pass?

Edit* I’ve been an AVE fan since dc/alien days.

I think you kinda answered your own question.

That quartersnacks video does a pretty good job at explaining not only its historical significance in skateboarding, but the freaky circumstances in which it resurfaced and the subsequent oddities that ensued. I won't spoil it, its a good watch.

That bench has a lot of stories, seems like what AVE is doing is pretty fucking sweet in my opinion.

Because it makes up a small portion of his content.
Also his content is God Levels
Also, it’s AVE.

This is a pretty fair question to ask, not sure why people are getting so butthurt. He probably gets a pass because aside from this he's a legend. He's still putting out top tier footy in his older age, which is rare for any skater, let alone street skaters. The history of the bench kinda helps his case too. If he was doing a bunch of other kooky shit, he'd probably be getting tore up for this, but he's pretty universally loved.

Saving and stealing are completely different allegations. your thread sucks.

watch that quartersnacks video so you can understand the context of something before you post something this stupid.

Trying to think of other instances where a pro skateboarder assumed guardianship of a c-ledge for his entire career.

I don’t care if someone skates the same spot throughout their entire career if the footage is good.

I remember a while back Jerry saying in an interview that he was thinking of filming an entire part at one spot (I’m assuming it was LA high). Who wouldn’t want to see that?

I mean how many times did people move around benches and stuff in school yards? I equate it more to that than filming a trick in a park and tying to pass it off as a spot or building a flatbar and bringing it to a spot.

.....Nah
Daewons best years were basically all fake spots.

I get really obsessive about ideas and things and years ago I got really into how a spot should be real or at least appear to be real. Even shit like putting a bin on its side bothered me. Like why would a bin be on its side? That's dumb. Or a table down stairs is stupid, it has to look real. Eventually my brain broke tho because it would mean Daewon was wrong and berra was right and that just can't be.

Yeah the “passing it off” part is what I meant by “fake spot.” AVE isn’t deceiving people and neither was Daewon, however you feel about stacking benches. Painting fucking fake bricks onto a box you made is in its own league of lameness.

From what I remember he put the original at Tompkins and kept the recreated one.
