Cadence King except what old heads can’t seem to understand is you can’t touch the ground with anything but your wheels during a trick in a game of skate so no he wouldn’t be giving out letters, he would be eliminated in the first round by real skaters who know how to do viable tournament tricks.

A long stretch of no failures in tricks is so amazing. This video is so exhilarating.
These two are going to go down as legends. I grew up watching Cole. To see them rip off so many tricks with such ease goes to show how professional they are and how much time they have put into their craft. Skating has come a very long way.
The way they catch the board makes it looks so much easier than it actually is
Cannot believe how many tricks these dudes can land first try. They are both amazing
Seeing those tricks being done was amazing.

still a lot of money. As a skater you are finished with age, lets say 35 to 38 you're done. So Cole needs to keep the family provided for and thats why they need to build reserves for later times and invest. 10 K is a good grab for a few hours of work. When you grow up you realize it's about being able to provide for a family and you do a lot to achieve that.
@TheRickyp83

What's 10k to them? It's an extra 10k they didn't have before. I think Nyjah honestly just enjoys competition but someone like Cole who is married with kids in his 30s, $10,000 for one competition in one day can go a long ways. One day of "work" and you've got a huge portion of savings for your kid to go to college.
