Damn. I’ve been away from the comp for a while, and a bunch o crazy ish happens… I’ll start with the bad news first… If you haven’t heard, we’ve lost a couple of the finer skateboarders in the pro ranks… Shane Cross was in an unfortunate (although probably preventable) accident with Ali Boulala which proved to be fatal for Shane, and left Ali in critical condition in a hospital in Australia… And Ben Pappas was also found dead under unexplained circumstances, only a week after his girlfriend was also found dead. Madness.
Common Ground team rider Ben Davis was friggin hit by a car whilst plank riding in Kensington Market outside Adrift… The motorist was not found at fault for the incident even though this video footage surfaced, and it was featured on the news… Ben, however, recieved a fine for skating on the road… Definitely brings up some issues about motorists and skateboarders, hopefully it goes in our favor, cause we all know that they look for incidents like this to point a finger at us. Just read some of the ignorant comments left, and you’ll understand.
On a brighter note, 3 new video clips have surfaced of old Common Ground footage, edited by Cephas Benson and filmed by Sebastian Lymann and Tomas Morrison. RESPECT!
