Shane Cross

[dave_uninc]

It's crazy to think that three years ago today, Shane Cross Died on the back of Ali Boulala's bike...
I had met the guy at a demo the year before, such a nice guy. He had such a great impact on skateboarding as an AM for Flip for such a short time... too short.

anyways... vibes to his friends and family! His spirit lives on in every skateboarder!

Skating aint the same without shane!!!

rip

 

[dave_uninc]

dude... what?

 

[Shaky_Jake]

really?? it's gone by that fast or is he getting out early due to cooperation?

 

[sander_h]

must be. I can't imagine the guy being a bad prisoner. They were great friends and i'm sure he deals with the grief every day.

 

[Shaky_Jake]

I don't doubt it at all, it's like unintentionally killing your best friend. I bet he feels pretty shitty about it. Does anyone know if he was dropped by his sponsors?

 

[dave_uninc]

Flip stands by him thats for sure! don't know about his other sponsors though...

 

[Reverend_Steeze]

hell yeah they do, they even put a part for him in extremely sorry! haha

But yeah, Im pretty sure that all of his other sponsors have dropped him.

 

[Ben.]

good. i wish flip would too.

 

[grilledsteezeyo]

RIP shanehe killed it so hard

 

[Swervasaurus]

He nosegrinded El ToroRIP Shane

 

[Ben.]

first try too i think. so burly

 

[KellyK]

god dam it. i feel like you and i have gotten into this argument before... people fuck up dude, let it go. shane wouldn't hold a grudge.

 

[JakeAssBeatClap]

word dude shane cross was all about increase the peace dude so yeah shane is a champ threw down more tricks down el toro than anyone else and was one of the dopest skaters of our time no doubt

 

[Ben.]

i just hate that people are ignoring the cause of this. they did the same thing when keenan passed. its sad it happens but ignoring why it did isnt doing any good to any one.

 

[Hi.Phi.]

Boulalas sponsors shouldn't have dropped him, the guilt was punishment enough

 

[KellyK]

agreed 100%. i'm just saying, don't wish any more bad fortune on ali. can you even imagine what it would be like to kill your best friend, and live with that for the rest of your life? people fuck up. i guarantee you he learned his lesson....

 

[Ben.]

ill give you that, the guilt is im sure awful.

i just feel like no one is learning from others mistakes.

 

[Ben.]

true. but sadly shane cant learn from his mistake. he already paid the ultimate price

 

[dave_uninc]

[Zent33zy]

i looked up to that kid before he died and i still do

RIP Shane Cross

 

[Shaky_Jake]

What is great about Shane and Ali is that they were great at skateboarding and were sponsored but thats not why they skated. They skate(d) because they love to, they made it art work.

RIP Shane and I hope Ali picks up the skateboard when he gets out

 

[Big.L]

anyone who does a nosegrind down el toro is obviously the man, RIP

 

[Reverend_Steeze]

WOAH! is boulala out now!??!

tomorrow, i bet he is stoked

 

[Reverend_Steeze]

ayyyeeeeeoooowwww! Im soo stoked! he better pick up skating again.

 

[Shaky_Jake]

Hopefully he won't have to take to long to get reacquainted with a board. Though I would just give him a few months to being back to his weird hippy/gypsy skating self
