Or like helmet+eskate=

I’m really glad I saw this post. I will admit I have been quite stupid in the past riding without a helmet. Never again. My condolences to his family. I have shared the go fund me page with a few more friends in hopes they will also support his family.

RIP

I miss Miurskate. I’m hoping for a comeback one day but I doubt it

Not that I really want anyone to get hurt. But I hope when this happens to him it’s going to be a bigger hit because he might end up saying something along the lines of scar are memories like my tattoos.

How about just putting a little helmet on the “8” in eSK8? Even a half helmet would do to get the point across.

saved me last week. nailed a corner at about 45km/hr just misjudged the line

Mikenopolis · May 31, 2018, 10:38pm

ouch. prime example of why full face helmets are recommended. But then again, plenty of examples of why we should ride fully armored like Ironman

655 clicks and only $1248 ! If everyone had have just given $5 we would have doubled that.

Makes you wonder about human compassion huh? We spend stupid amounts on this and that. A small donation shouldn’t be an issue. But that’s people for ya. We all give in different ways.

he said something on instagram about working on some kind of reincarnation. i wonder what that’s going to be.

And yet sometimes I feel like the only one… Although with more and more of my local crew riding with me around 30mph, it’s a complete 180 to last year. There’s only a couple that don’t have spine protectors, but otherwise covered head to toe like me.

my minimal armors

Not California, But Canada. Esk8er on an Evolve CGT has died from a hit and run.

Remember to wear your safety gear, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get injured or killed. Hit & Run or not, he probably would’ve died. Be careful out there, slow it down and pay attention, because it’s not always you who has the control over the terrain or traffic. Dumba$$es often seem to have the upper hand for some reason

Battosaii · October 8, 2018, 11:20pm

That’s terrible

I don’t think he had any lights. Lights are extremely important at night not for you to see the road but for drivers to see you!

I have front and rear deck lights and a flashing red light on my back pack. I also usually ride at night in a group, brings down the risk but anything can happen.

1:15 AM and serious head injury. Hit and run is wrong but I do wonder if he was wearing a helmet which could’ve had a different outcome.

I used to test my boards at around 1 AM when there’s no one on the road here. Thinking back, it there was a hit and run I’ll probably lay there (possibly dead) for hours before anyone finds me.

OMG this is so cruel. All my prayers go out to his beloved family. This is not the way it should be.I didn’t know this guy, but Im sharing the sadness. Rest in peace pilgrim.
