RIP IN PEACE: Lewis Marnell
1/19/2013
As skateboarders we bond together as one true global family. When one of us passes, we all feel the pain. Anyone will tell you that Lewis Marnell was a great person, both on and off his board. We miss him way too much already, but we won't forget.

RIP IN PEACE: Josh Marlowe
Skateboarding lost a legend with the passing of Josh "The Bomb King" Marlowe, one of the most powerful skaters to come out of Ocean City, MD and the East Coast vertical scene of the 1980s. His grinds were long, his airs soaring and his handplants tweaked as all hell. Josh Marlowe paved the way. -
