This show is made by gay ppl so I can't watch due I do not support home sexuality if you find it interesting you may be gay lol this is not about skateboarding this is about a dudes private life. I am just bringing awareness to the community it's all I'm not trying to offend anyone we are all different but being family oriented is what we need in this nation I strongly believe any ways I'm out of here.
This is by far THE best episode of Epicly Later'd. Coming up during the late 90's/early 2000's skate era was truly magical and I remember receiving the Photosynthesis VHS through a subscription to SLAP mag. I must have worn that video out because I don't know how many times I've watched it back to back, especially AVE's part and the Habitat section. AVE was one of the skater I looked up to because of his powerful, fast skating, along with Donny Barley and John Rattray. So glad to see him doing well and still shredding. God bless you AVE, I hope you keep it going as long as you're able to. I still watch your parts non-stop, and wish I could turn back the time to relive that era once again.
Yes I'm sure it was a lot of work finding the relative clips to put in the background and not just clips of other people talking about the star and memories of them they shared together but instead this a great story and really puts you in the shoes of them all, obviously a legendary skater but most Epicly later'd i have watched for 10 15 min and click off, this one brought out emotions I didnt know i had or needed and i just got done skating but i want to go back out and explore now after having watched this and saving it to my playlist. Best by far
There was no better feeling than waking up on a Saturday morning, getting gassed up on skate videos, and going out to ride with the boys. Only thing that's come close for me is playing music.
@@ronniecreager2585Is this the real Ronnie Creager or are you just weird enough to use his name? No skater on earth with a functioning brain could watch his Gravis video and have the word underrated come to mind🤡
This is one of the best episodes of Epicly Later'd. Period. This got really real. I'm 51 years old and have been skating since I was 12. I still skate as much as I can to this day. I had many good years skating and was sponsored a couple times but I knew it was never something I could make a living from. I've known sponsored and pro skaters since I started skating, and have been around the industry for decades. I even had my own company for ten years. I've seen what skating can do to people. It eats some people up and spits them out, while other people can ride the wave forever. I have massive respect for those who dedicate their lives to this thing that we love, and who don't quit. I have always worried about the skaters who don't seem to have anything else. You have to find that balance between skating and everything else. I hope Anthony finds that.
It made smile that you included Dylan in this episode - may he rest in peace ❤. AVE, your dedication inspires us all. Thank you for everything you do, both on and off the board!
So inspiring, SOTY at 36 while I’m here 28 complaining that I can’t do it no more I need to put in the work like him. I’m so motivated to skate this weekend.
I met AVE at The DC Video premiere in Sydney - I was standing at the bar next to the VIP section when all the team riders started coming in.. It was super busy so they paused for a bit and AVE ended up standing right in front of me.. The dude next to me started fanning out for a bit and when it was time, he turned to keep going but it was still too crowded to move.. He glanced over and I held my beer up - we clinked bottles as the crowd cleared and he made his way through.. Funny thing was, we spotted each other at the after party - just clinked beers again, had a laugh and a nod and kept going - no words needed 😄
Wow, I’m in tears oddly enough watching this because I’ve had the same struggles for a long time. I’m in my thirties and this is the first time I’m actively seeking help and have decided I can’t do this alone anymore. If anyone else is going through this, you’re not alone but u need strength that can only be found in others. Seeking answers outside of our own solitary pride and ego and trying to understand that it’s okay to need help and to get it
Im with you man. Not a skater (into Moto) but have spent my adult life (41 now) hooked on pills/H/Suboxone and cant get free from it no matter how bad i want it or how many rehabs i go to. Hope you work through it.
God bless you. 20 year heroin addict with almost a year and a half off heroin now. Incredibly tough but beyond worth it. And women actually talk to me now instead of trying to avoid me 🙏
He’s definitely intimidating haha, I went up to him at our local park and told him his bunt episode was sick. He gave me knuckles and asked for my name, he is super cool .
Skating is one of those great metaphors for life. I’m not a skateboarder, I grew up in combat sports, but I’ve always dug skateboarding as an outsider, the idea of failing a million times just to land it once is very metaphorical for life.
No doubt about it, this is the best Epicly Later'd episode to date! AVE's always been so gnarly, but also was like an enigma in the eyes of the skate media. But to hear his whole story, the trials, tribulations and fucking hard fought victories.... and to see where he's at now. Good job!
In my experience, skateboarding is that perfect little feeling that everybody needs at one point in their life. Whether you’re crap at it, get really good at it, end up doing it as a career or just moving on to being a respectful spectator. It still holds a special place in all of us. All of us separated by thousands of miles, taste in music, moral compass, fashion style, political opinions, age, financial class, literally anything and everything separates us all but we all have this thing that we held on to and gives us joy and also unites all of us. For all the crap we’ve all put up with from people outside of the circle, it’s nice to feel such a sense of undying community in a sport that’s designed to be done solo. Love to all the skateboard family! 👊
“This is what we’re gonna do”…. That part sent some serious chills down my spine. I literally cheered out loud when AVE said it. Keep this sentiment in mind when doing what you love folks
I’ve spent most of my life skateboarding. He and Dill were part of the elite during those late 90s and some of my favorites. I had no idea about all of this. It was suspected from Dill but I didn’t know anything about AVEs struggles. I’m so glad he decided to share his story. He’s still one of my all time favorites and the main reason my switch crooked is one of my go to weapons. Between him and Andrew Reynolds, Erik Ellington and others all getting sober and still skating to this day is so fucking awesome and inspiring.
I had the same realization when I was doing pain pills for 11 years. Nothing happened I just woke up and looked in the mirror and was over it. Haven’t been high since
Man how did you do it though? Been on/off pills/H/Suboxone all my adult life (41 now) and cant get past that "feeling". Stuck on subs now and no matter how bad i want it, i cant walk away from it. Good for you but damn, i cant seem to let go.
@@iansteward4708 I was on methadone for like 3 years. I was dosing down when I stopped. I was at like 35mg and just started going every other day. Once I did that the clinic would not dose me down cause I was compliant. But I had a real drug counselor that told me to keep doing what I’m doing. He told me methadone/suboxone is a trap. It’s away for everyone to make money and keep you coming back. So I just quit and dealt with the sickness. It took 3-4 weeks of the worst sickness I’ve been through but at the end it’s worth it. Just keep fighting brother. Your not alone
@@iansteward4708you will if you keep at it. You have to want it. All of the money you've been wasting, every chance you could have gotten caught, and went to jail, the stress behind it. The overdoses. I was so sick of being sick. I would take a pill and cry. Waking up every morning going through withdrawals. That's when you won't want them anymore
Watching epiclylater'd since it first came out its the most powerful documentary work dealing with addiction and sobriety out there, truly powerful stuff
Ever since the Guy Mariano and Dylan Rieder episode I’ve been waiting for Patrick to do one on AVE! After hearing Patrick’s introduction I can understand why I took so long, and makes sense. I’m just excited we finally got one!
I remember skating with the homie years ago @ LA High one day & some of the FA team where there skating including AVE & it tripped me out to see them all skating there having a normal sesh. I’ll never forget that day…
every single epicly later'd is fantastic... Patrick has curated probably the best set of Skateboarders to feature in his documentaries. The Documentaries themselves are just incredibly well put together... Cheers to them for knocking it out of the park yet again.
I met Anthony in 2008 or ‘09 in Albuquerque, he was very nice. I have more respect for him now knowing what he’s been through and coming out clean, sober, and stronger. Definitely one of my favorites. Good style, good tricks, still ripping!
People in the skate world dont realize that some of the best skating was done on speed. Hosoi doing 9 foot high airs 4 feet higher than anyone else on a shitty board? It was pervasive in the 80-90s. Different times.
Side note, when kalis 360 flipped the trash can, the 4 people on the ledge are my friend Greg, Jim and i with Ryan Gee i believe taking the picture that would end up on Kalis first pro shoebox art for dc. That was such a fun day, I'll never forget it, also AVE and some of the 23 crew came to an indoor park in nj a very long time ago. Ave was doing switch 360 flips on a steep ass bank with cornrows . Another memory I'll never forget.
Damn this was a good one. So sick and inspirational. The gnarly skating, the substance abuse to sobriety…just an epic life that we can all learn some valuable lessons from. Super admirable.
Man when I was younger, I rode my boards till the wheel fell off , I started drinking then doing drugs , I started getting bad real bad , I ventured off riding my board with the same group of guys that did what I did , then one day I left my board in a friends car , he was like here Bro , here is your board , I said naw you keep it “ it was a Eric Dressen from Dogtown” I knew right then and there I would never ride again cause my addiction got me bad , as I got older I still keep up with skateboarding , and at times I’m in tears cause when I rode my board I can honestly say that was the only time I felt FREE🙏🏽💪🏽💯
Just wow. I grew up watching Epicly Latered - Who would’ve thunk i’d have the opportunity to watch a legend like this get his flowers all these years later. The Kelly Slater of Skating.
man...... ive always loved AVEs sk8ing but this really showed what that man is about! as someone who battles alcoholism im gonna take a piece of this for me.
GOD BLESS YOU AVE!!!! I loved his story and it really deep down resonated with me because I've personally been sober for a little over a year now and I did it for the sake of my kids.. I realized that drinking for me was my way to cover up the traumatic experiences and emotions that I had buried deep within myself not realizing that all of these years I was only running from myself this whole entire time.. My 3 amazing kids gave me the motivation to kick it because they deserve at least one sober parent, their mother drinks like a damn fish and it's not okay for both of us waking up hungover and not able to tend to the kids.. Other than that I grew up skateboarding and it's my first love and the DC Video was the first time AVE got on my radar, it was one of the sickest parts I've ever seen of someone doing soo many switch tricks on stuff as a kid!! I can't skate anymore because I have a bad leg so I tend to get my fill now from watching these Epicly Later'd episodes and Thrashers Channel to keep up with the skate news like when I read Transworld Mags to see who did what when I was a teenager.. Anyways thank you VICE for Epicly Later'd & all of these amazing documentaries of our favorite skaters!!! A.V.E. I hope you see this one day brother because you're truly a Legend & an inspiration to me since The DC Video & even now as I'm almost 32!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💯💯💯💯
The inspiration I have gotten from this is impenetrable. I am a blue collar working man 3 kids and I still carry my skateboard wherever I go. Hoping to get a least a few minutes on that thing doesn’t matter how long. As long as my feet are on it everything is okay. ❤️
Thanks so much Patrick for getting AVE. This was an epic epicly later’d! AVE you’re a fucking GOAT. To do all that you’ve done and all you went through. Thank you.
Im 16 years clean from crack, and watching this makes me realize it. Its been so long its like it wasn't really me, just an old movie. I see many traits with AVE that i have. Crazy Great episode
I was at the DC video premier in NYC (I think it was at Roseland Ballroom) and I sat in the back alone because I felt like I wasn't cool or something and I remember AVE and Dill came and sat with me and chopped it up with me and made me feel part of it. I'll never forget it.
I was at that too! And yes it was at Roseland. I sat a few rows back from the very front and when I turned around at the end I saw the ONE and ONLY DANNY WAY was sitting right effing behind me! 🤯
AVE has lived a hell of a life and is still progressing every day. I have a suspicion that this episode will inspire many people to keep putting in the work, no matter their age. "This is what we're going to do". Great work Patrick and Vice, maybe your best episode yet,.
Haha he embraces it for sure. It's rad, instead of trying to look young like most middle aged people and it always looks phony he just goes his own way
Really appreciate this series. Preserving these stories for posterity, celebrating the skaters who were riding so hard for fun and fellowship, long before the real money came into the sport. Fantastic... and even some life lessons imparted without judgement or preaching...
this is why i LOVE skateboarding. people you dont even know personally, you can relate to them so much. its weird how a lot of skaters have lived a similar life.
as a dude in his early 30s I find these older skater dudes so inspiring . I always have. I ride mountain bikes. but still think these cool older guys who still do what they love and have families . so sick.
Laying in my bed with a injury thinking what comes in the future for me, after watching this gave me more confident of keep pushing more and more and I know we going to make it one day

Such an inspiration! His skating inspires me to keep rolling at 48. All Hail AVE!!
Thanks so much Patrick for getting AVE. This was an epic epicly later’d! AVE you’re a fucking GOAT. To do all that you’ve done and all you went through. Thank you.
Im 16 years clean from crack, and watching this makes me realize it. Its been so long its like it wasn't really me, just an old movie. I see many traits with AVE that i have. Crazy
Great episode
I was at the DC video premier in NYC (I think it was at Roseland Ballroom) and I sat in the back alone because I felt like I wasn't cool or something and I remember AVE and Dill came and sat with me and chopped it up with me and made me feel part of it. I'll never forget it.
I was at that too! And yes it was at Roseland. I sat a few rows back from the very front and when I turned around at the end I saw the ONE and ONLY DANNY WAY was sitting right effing behind me! 🤯
Amazing episode!!
That clip of Dylan talking about him is gold.
Ben casually poppin up in this made my day
that part with Dylan talking about AVE freaking out was amazing.
I like when he said he’s a blue collar skater. Fits him so well. Great episode !
Glad Vice and Patrick are still putting this stuff out. Best thing out of Vice imo.
AVE has lived a hell of a life and is still progressing every day. I have a suspicion that this episode will inspire many people to keep putting in the work, no matter their age. "This is what we're going to do". Great work Patrick and Vice, maybe your best episode yet,.
2:42 i lost it when patrick almost slammed on the throwdown right after talking about slamming
great episode. AVE was after my time, I was a late 80s to mid-90s skater but really enjoyed this.
So happy this series is back
Anthony is the truth. The honesty and candor in this is wonderful. Great piece Patrick. 🎉
Dill looks like he's in his 70s.He looks older than my dad and he's 73.
Haha he embraces it for sure. It's rad, instead of trying to look young like most middle aged people and it always looks phony he just goes his own way
Dill will kickflip back lip your nan!!!
So what?
@@colincharan-kumpula6424 Don't get salty bro, everything's going to be ok.
I legit thought he was in a bad grampa disguise or something. 😁
Really appreciate this series. Preserving these stories for posterity, celebrating the skaters who were riding so hard for fun and fellowship, long before the real money came into the sport. Fantastic... and even some life lessons imparted without judgement or preaching...
this is why i LOVE skateboarding. people you dont even know personally, you can relate to them so much. its weird how a lot of skaters have lived a similar life.
Cutting to pops in a suit is amazing !!
Great episode. AVE skated for my local shop, STYX growing up. It was where i hung out constantly and we'd hear lots of stories about him all the time.
Never heard Greg Hunt speak before. He spoke well and honestly here. Respect
gave me the chills. respect to Ave. thanks for being an example
Inspired💚💪 having a horrible day but this uplifted me🙏
Love how this series keeps evolving.
Patrick skates soo well. Long long time fan. Great to see it
Nailed it VICE. AWESOME. We Need more of these!
Really great episode, one of the best; well done Patrick O'Dell. I could watch this show forever.
as a dude in his early 30s I find these older skater dudes so inspiring . I always have. I ride mountain bikes. but still think these cool older guys who still do what they love and have families . so sick.
“We call him the Sargent cuz he’s our General”:)
Laying in my bed with a injury thinking what comes in the future for me, after watching this gave me more confident of keep pushing more and more and I know we going to make it one day
Been waiting for this one
It was only a matter of time🥳
“I was ready to be uncomfortable to see if something else would work other than what I could up with.” That one fucking got me.
Absolutely amazing episode. Congrats and thank you so much for your work Patrick ❤
I've been a fan of A.V.E. ever since his CH1 days. He's forever a favorite of mine. I'm excited for this episode 🤘🤘
BIG UPS AVE BIG UPS DILL This was really one of my favorite Epicly Later'd joints ever.... NUF RESPECT!
Mind field is a dope video. Combining classics and technical skating. Love it.
Dude, I just thought to myself when the hell did this come out?! I look and it says 15 hours ago. Algorithm, for once, you came through for me.
bring them back, sweet memories
love from Rotterdamn nl
Amazing. Such a great episode
skateboarding is truth. gratitude. so much love. peace
This is what the people have needed.
Was not ready for the Dylan clip. Dylan forever!
