Gabriel Rodriguez - RIP IN PEACE
8/12/2019
“On August 9th, 2019 we lost a true legend. He not only inspired me when I first met him, he inspired the world with his amazing talent. Words can’t describe the loss—he was a true brother. The fact that we came from the same neighborhood, living only blocks away as kids and got to experience the skate life together was a true miracle and always a great source of conversation between us. In his last days we assured him of his impact and influence. He was at peace with that and his soon-to-be passing. He now rests in peace. See you on the other side, my man. I love you, Gabe. I will miss you dearly and never forget you, brother.” –Rudy Johnson

RIP IN PEACE: Jon Comer
Jon was a pioneering champion for disabled skaters and practically made his invisible with an attitude and attack on the board true to his Texas roots. He knew there were others in way worse situations. Glad to have had some great sessions with you. Our deepest condolences to the Comer family. –Sam Hitz -

RIP IN PEACE: Mark "Monk" Hubbard
My friend Roger Mark Hubbard died June 8, 2018. Talk about skateboard legends, this dude saw his destiny. Marty was a true skateboard pioneer. Talk about doing it yourself, this dude did it all. He’s gone but his legend will live forever. I miss him, and there ain’t nobody like him. Once again, rest in peace. Roger Mark Hubbard 1970-2018.–Jake Phelps -

RIP IN PEACE: Dylan Rieder
Born to ride a skateboard? It’s a seemingly silly concept when you think about it, but Dylan Rieder made us believe it. That man was absolutely, positively, a gift. Power, style, grace - he had it all. Our thoughts are with his family and friends in this difficult time. Rest in Peace, Dylan Rieder. We will all miss you, each day more than the next. -
