I need to watch the video. I've read the article in Thrasher. Mostly.

I like their view that they want to see the best skating from a skater without getting too picky about terrain.

It's a strange thing to think that skateboarding has fans who don't skate. That fanbase has been around for a while, but that doesn't normalize it to me. At the same time, a lot of who watch football, hockey or whatever, haven't played those sports either so there is a precedent. Contests also were social events without much money so that was a more important aspect back in the day.

I think you've got until the mid 40s to really go for it.
