Awful Truth

Skatopia's Brewce Martin was seriously injured with major head trauma in a freak accident at a tire shop near Skatopia. Apparently, he was standing next to the tire mounting machine and it exploded. All we know at the present time is that he's in surgery to relieve pressure on his brain.

no way. the gnarliest man alive gets taken out by an exploding tire mount? irony (considering his treatment of cars) and tragedy of the worst kind. i hope to hell he pulls through like the champ he is.

I am obsessed with news clippings that feature someone being wounded or killed by something exploding. Here are some good ones "A Collinsville woman said she was making Christmas cookies and cakes with her great nieces — a family tradition — when an appliance exploded in the kitchen and the house exploded." then there is this "On Jan. 9, astronomers used a NASA X-ray satellite to spy on a star already well into its death throes, when another star in the same galaxy started to explode." then there is this "A man's hands were burned by a chemical this morning when he tried to clean out the residue left behind by a device that exploded in his mailbox" and this too "Robbins was riding the mower when it exploded and burst into flames." So this one naturally has to go into the collection. Anyways get well supposed gnarly skateboarder guy, whoever you are.

This bums me out bad.  He's the only pro/famous skater person I've ever got to watch skate in person.  Him and his son and someone else were at our old park completely destroying the bowl.  My sister had a pretty bad car wreck many years ago and she had to have pressure relieved from her brain and I know what affects it can have potentially on his life.  Majorly bummed  :(

Brewce is a legend and one of my favorite people on board. He seems so indestructible, I can't believe he's in the shape that he's in... get well SOON! This is fuckin' horrible... that dude is Skatopia in the flesh... the greatest DIY'er of all time.

I actually went to skatopia around last summer and me and my friends were like the only people there with him and his friends and family and it was fucking tight. the fastest ive ever seen anyone go on a skateboard in person was him in his barnyard bowl. and if you've seen it or been there its fucking gnarly to even try to pump that thing. i had brain surgery awhile back to, and shits no joke. i only hope the best for him.
Maybe I'm just so cool I wanna die.

sorry to double post, but if you look on the skatopiamovie site posted and watch the video that has "Shred" on it, you'll see Brewce skating the bowl I mentioned. its fucking insane. if you try to ride into the deepend, the roll in is so steep, that if you try to go straight down it the middle of your board will get hung up.
Maybe I'm just so cool I wanna die.

Aside from having to undergo brain surgery, I seriously envy you, having never been to Skatopia to see him and his son ride that shit in real life. I've heard so many stories about that bowl... some pretty gnarly dudes have backed off of that shit. Big brother did a great job of covering Brewce and Skatopia back in the day.

My brain surgery wasnt super serious or anything. kept me from skating a whole summer last year, but im back to 100% now.
But it really is amazing. Hellskull can rip the concrete section to like its noone's business. Brewce was telling us how he does mctwists in the barn bowl.
 and the fact we just got to pretty much bro down with them one on one and talk to them about shit you probably couldnt if there was some huge party was really cool. He said he could tell we were real skaters when we walked in and shit. He said he could distinguish guys that were there to skate from guys that just came to drink holding boards in there hands.
But if you do ever go, we brought two cases of PBR. and as soon as we got that out of the way he showed us his house which doubles as his muesum which awesome too. it was definately an a great experience. if and when brewce gets better id recommend going to anyone.

There was an article in Rolling Stone like a year ago about Brewce and Skatopia and it just seemed so insane; like burning cars and blowing stuff up, all while getting hammered and shredding all the time, but also they really have like a structure there and it is kind of like a community, at least from the way it was portrayed in that article. Redhatchet, did you just go and show up there or did you have a friend or something like that there?
