RIP JIMY "BACKWOODS" BENNETT

[Rudie Weatherman]

I lurk here but only post when my closest homies die. Jimy Bennett was the biggest skate rat; respected and emulated by so many rippers from Missouri and Florida, in particular. He passed on October 23, 2017, due to complications from drinking. One of the most stylish skaters and beloved persons this world ever knew.

My bad, he passed last month (2017). Don't know why I had 2003 in my head. It's been a rough year.

Sorry to hear man, stay positive!

Sorry to hear about that man.  Stay up.  It's been a hard year for a lot of us it seems.

Hang in the mate.

I'm bumping this thread because there's a tribute to Jimy in the March issue of Thrasher. 



Also, I re-uploaded Jimy's part from FCB Deuce:

Kortez is lurking in the pic so I uploaded his part too:

RIP Jimy B
