Shit is wack, but I’m not surprised. Seems nobody has noticed that Ave follows Trump, RFK Jr. and the US Border Patrol among others on Instagram. His interests are questionable, to say the least.

How does his political opinion have anything to do with making a terrible app service

In my opinion, anyone supporting the current US administration displays a fundamental lack of morality along with the inability to make well-informed decisions.
Dude’s voting against the interests of the kids FA loves to fetishize (and every non-billionaire!).
I guess what I’m saying is I don’t trust him and he won’t get my money, which sucks, he is in my top ten.

Cool, time to throw out my AVE shoes. I have a bit too many anwyay

[DirtCat]

AVE sucks and he definitely got talked into investing in someones vibecoded streaming app once they pivoted to skate videos so now he has to defend it to save face

Terrible person = Terrible app

Yeah, sorry but similar to what the poster said above I have zero tolerance to anyone following or supporting the horrible shit going on right now. Also pretty sure AVE lives in Huntington Beach which is MAGA central, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Fuck this

[layzieyez]

In light of this news, I retract my previous comment. No, I would not buy anything from Ave. Never again.

He really should have named his brand Hokey. What a maroon.

Just because someone follows a social media account doesn't mean they back those people. I hate Fox News but watch it once in a while to see for myself what shit and hate they spew. Just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I can hate-watch Fox News, but I don't follow them...

[Burton Ernie]

it appears there are currently about 12 videos available (Girl/Choc, Vinyl, and Kevin Perez releases) and the only way to watch is by installing the iOS app via TestFlight, as it's not in the Public App Store yet.

Trying to watch any of the 12 videos on the site from a web browser results in 404 errors.

Questionable tech and political ideals aside, it's way too soon to allow people to pay money for the service. The current functionality warrants free sign-ups and use until everything works. You could at least stress-test and build some momentum that way.

Asking for paid subscribers without a working website is nuts.

The new Google . FA HOCKEY struggling and retirement plan test. Erik Ellington was wise with Tech Deck….

Care to elaborate? What does Ellington have to do with Tech Deck? Is he some kind of investor? I'm a big fan of the brand so I'm genuinely curious.

You could argue that normally but buddy is following two separate RFK accounts.

I don't remember where I saw something about it, but I believe he invented hand boards or at least pitched the idea?

yeah that does sound nuts...If the videos were 1080p upscaled somehow through AI...maybe I'd check them out but paying to watch something in 480p or the older 4:3 aspect ratios

[Idk]

This is crazy, like

[GardenSkater77]

Skateboard Lookalikes




White nationalist 5 fingerheaded MFers…

Edit: cosplaying MFers…

[TheWineClub]

Lets just say I can see AVE rocking an Iron Cross Independent shirt very soon

[bokchoy]

[Sandwich Marty]

Noooooooooo

i remember reading an interview where he said he still liked ted nugent's music, even though he hated his politics. but that's neither here nor there

wonder what dill thinks

[lowline]

ooooh boy i just scrolled past tucker carlson on his following list. that one genuinely hurts

[bluntfullofmid]

ooooh boy i just scrolled past tucker carlson on his following list. that one genuinely hurts

started scrollin thru his follows after seeing this and first two people i saw after the mutuals were RFK and Bill Maher. eventually saw he followed Trumpito and stopped after that cause i didnt need to see anything else

part of me isnt surprised by who he follows or his *potential* political mindset because he's a big harley/biker gang dude and also has strong ties to 1010 (aside from being homies he used a pic of him for an old FA graphic circa 2015)

[Atiba Applebum]

I always get weird vibes when I see skaters post themselves doing BJJ at the Gracie gym with their giant Blue Lives Matter flags and other paraphernalia on the walls.   Gyms are the breeding grounds for the dumbest political people

[Mount St. Hermdog]

I changed my mind, fuck yourself AVE youre a bitch

yeah i guess i'm not totally surprised since he's always had this california motorcycle guy image but i figured hanging out with super woke dill for so many years would of had an effect? maybe not

i'm sure he's hit his head a bunch of times also and that's definitely sent a few people i know down the right wing pipeline. sure it only gets worse with age

Nah go watch old parts he was trying to be fresh. Doesn’t matter though, the white hip hop guy to conservative douchebag pipeline is also a thing.

[lowline]

oh shit how could i forget about the cornrows

[funeral_tuxedo]

Goddamnit, AVE. Not you too.
