Also why does Sinclair get so much screen time?
Because he's talkative. He also seems to get that there are some things that skaters watching the show will get right away, but people unfamiliar with skating won't really understand and tries to explain them.
I agree with people saying that Raven and Elijah are carrying Chocolate. I know Eldridge was sick, but then do the non-skating challenges. I don't know what Stevie is doing. KOTR is not a new thing at this point. If you agree to do it, you know what you're getting into so if you're not going to try stuff, why say yes? You'd think they'd be kinda like Heath and feel bad for not doing stuff.
I'd throw Johnny in there too as helping to carry Chocolate. He's battling a lot of stuff and even though he's not always riding away, he is still giving it a try and seems down to do non-skating challenges to get points as well. If Thrasher gives Birdhouse that front shove board land challenge, then they had better count that 50-50 where he lands and rides into the planter. I think it would be cool too if he gets that front board kickflip out on one of the last days, not just for the points, but because it seems like he put in a lot of effort for it.
