Number 4 on the list is easily the best skateboarding interview in the last 10 years: AVE's road to recovery, April 09.
“It’s a story that needs to be told.”
A very different Anthony Van Engelen re-emerges from the Mind Field
and comes clean about getting clean in his second Spotlight. Never one
for nonsense, this is AVE pulling no punches as he describes his descent
into a world where most never comeback. An inspiring read.

Saved this issue and look back at AVE's interview often. Easily in my top 5 list.
'Waiting for the man'? The romanticism of the subject is a huge contradiction. Devote fan of Black Sabbath AND God fan? Its like ku klux watching the Cosbys. AVE's skating is sick though. No disputing that.
Anonymous, you're not very smart.
Ran into AVE at house of blues for a NOFX show...I was all "your mind field part was sick." He just rolled his eyes and got all pissy. FUCK AVE! I only know him as the cry baby throwing his shoes in Feedback and as the blonde guy with cornrows who rode for the workshop. He's skating doesn't stand out to me. When I think AVE I only think Dill's sidekick. Kooker
For the record he's mind field part was ok. I was just trying to be nice and give him some props. Last time I'll do that
