first off RIP P-Stone

cory blew a 0.10 - 0.11 thats like 5 beers MAX and if hes as big of a pile as everyone seems to make him out to be 5 beers isnt going to effect him like it would someone who doesnt normally drink, im not saying its right or justified at all but i mean shit its obvious P-Stone liked to drink maybe more than a "normal" person does so its possible he was WAY more intoxicated than cory so cory feeling okay (1 beer over the LEGAL limit) decided to drive, im just going to assume both of them have been in this situation tons of times before (only because personally i have been on both sides of this more times than i can remember), if you think this is the first time cory drove after drinking or pstone got in a car with someone who had been drinking youre delusional. if cory was the one who died im sure all of you would be calling pstone a drunk. this whole thing sucks, its a shame that one bad decision can turn into something so tragic

I respectfully disagree. I have a pretty high tolerance but definitely feel distracted at 0.05 (the legal limit in Australia).  I also don't think Cory could be anywhere near as much of a drunkard he's made out to be when he still rips as hard as anyone. I don't really recall his drinking to be something that sponsors or even editorial articles focussed on or glorified. He just always looks wicked happy which is often associated with booziness. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)  A few beers at a sesh does not a piled out drunkard make. As was said, this was a MISTAKE not an accident. Drink driving is horrendous and I every time I've done it, which is not often, I have felt a brutal sense of shame and regret in the sober light of day. That's without hurting, let alone being responsible for the death of anyone.

R.I.P-Stone. Good luck Cory.

I hate to argue this but .05 is like half a light beer

Dunno what happened with my post. You may be thinking of alcohol content in the beer, not in your bloodstream. .05 Is 2-3 standard drinks (10 grams of alcohol, regular size glass of wine, less than a can of full strength beer) in an hour depending on your size/weight etc.

Unless other drugs were involved it seems like plain old bad/distracted driving is the main culprit, coupled with the alcohol in his system.

For comparison I blew a .24 when I was younger and it felt like I was only starting to reach the beginning stages of getting drunk. I would never even drink 2 beers and drive for fear of going over the .08 limit.

Nope. Buy a breathalyzer. I did for shots and giggles. Or use an app like alchodroid

2 beer in 2 hours is about the the max then you need to chill Abit before driving.

2 beer is nothing to me but I still won't drive. Got pulled over hammered when I was 17, no license or fuck all. Luckily for me I got a warning and an escort home. Never drank and drove again

It's way Stoopid and gnarly

Last summer my homie hopped in a car with two intoxicated girls and tried to go an hour or so away. Girl missed a corner, went through a guard rail and off about a 15 ft drop into the lake. Both girls drowned. My buddy broke his back and kneck. Adrenaline I guess but he tried to free them twice.

He's almost physically recovered but he is no longer normal. He's super depressed and that's all he talks about. He's a mess mentally

Such a bummer all around. I know many people keep talking about alcohol but with Washington's legalization of weed, they have cracked down on marijuana in your system. In the article they mentioned he got his blood drawn. The current WA weed DUI system is fucked and you can still fail it nearly three days after smoking but they need a reason to suspect you are high to drug test you. This could be a real intense legal battle.

A lot of drunk driving apologists already, bummer. Please imagine being pulled over and telling the cop, "I'm not drunk, I've only had five beers!" It sounds like bullshit because it is.

I am not saying that Cory is an evil villain, I feel bad for him too, but it is ridiculous to claim he should shoulder no blame. He drank a significant amount, he drove, and now his friend is dead. He needs to deal with that, and it needs to be acknowledged, out of respect for his friend if nothing else. Beyond that, when you say the fact his blood was .10% alcohol is irrelevant it suggests driving under that condition is fine. It isn't. It sucks what happened, for Cory, but way more for Preston and his family. Please don't detract from the severity of what happened by pretending it was just a random accident.

I don't want to get into my bad habits, or pretend I'm a safe person. But alcohol is really easy to detect by police and just not worth it from a legal standpoint to get a DUI over a few beers.

This is horrible for P-Stones family and this is horrible for Cory.  Maybe let's be sad that someone is dead and that someone else's  life is irreperally damaged, and maybe let's not pretend that a 45 year old heavy drinker never got in a car with with an impaired driver before last night.

I've blown just under .08 and I felt totally sober but thats me, someone else may have felt buzzed.

The legal limit was .08 at the time, its .05 now. It's just not worth drinking at all if you have to drive. Just stay home if you can't help but drink, the legal ramifications are serious if you are involved in an accident no matter if it's your fault or not.

I've known a few dudes that felt sober but have been pulled over and had the book thrown at them.

I hadn't seen this reported elsewhere and while the main message from this should be to never drink and drive. Another that needs to be mentioned is that you should always wear your seatbelt. I hadn't seen it said anywhere else, but the Sheriff when talking to a local media outlet made this statement.

http://www.kiro7.com/news/local/suspected-dui-crash-on-vashon-island-leaves-1-dead-1-injured/601835097

Now, drinking and driving obviously played a part in this, even if he was only slightly above the limit. But, it seems that reckless driving/speed and not wearing a seatbelt may have also played a major part. Not trying to victim blame at all here, but having lost a good friend in an accident almost entirely because he didn't wear a seatbelt, I thought this point should be emphasized.

He was granted bail on his on his own recognizance.

Let us be critical thinkers here man. If that happened sober would there be blame on variable x? Or is it easy to blame a factor of it on alcohol as it is an easy target to throw the dart at. No one here was in that car that night. Let the people who lived speak upon before anyone chimes in with an opinion worth its weight in internet anonymity. The educated will wait to hear it, the average will jump to conclusions, and the fools will shout now. 
Its a fucked situation. I feel horrible for anyone who turns this into a match of pointer fingers and blame. Grief to the families of all involved, fear for the futures of those who cast shame here.

I'm not trying to jump to conclusions, to overly blame Cory. Was more pointing out there were multiple factors at play and not wearing your seatbelt could be a major one. Tons of people have died from otherwise minor crashes due to this. Although, I don't think anything that lessens your reaction skills would have helped in this situation. Speed and not wearing a seatbelt could be the major contributing factors, maybe a tire blew. If there was no alcohol, then many would probably blame speed, the lack of a seatbelt or just general reckless driving. But, people would clearly be much more forgiving and sympathetic towards Cory.

So, yes, it is unfair to speculate and weight which each action did. So my statement of obviously might be an overstatement, but it is a factor to consider. For all we know, the seatbelt might not have mattered either, as classicly, when a driver is spinning out they tend to naturally try to avoid impact on their side, putting the passenger at greater risk.

Either way, RIP P-Stone, and my deepest condolences to his wife and family.

I used to live in the highest policed part of the western world when it comes to drink driving and can tell you that 2 average strength bottled beers in the first hour and you're on .05 give or take for your size, weight, other activity and no matter your "tolerance" you are still impaired. Just because you do it all the time and and you "feel sober" doesn't make you a better driver.

The place I do most of my driving now is in Sweden where the limit is .02 and they are considering dropping that to zero. I won't even consider driving after one beer and I sure as fuck won't drive the next morning if I tied one on the night before.

Ghostface and Julz sound like misinformed teenagers trying to argue around the fact that any intoxicants impair your driving. Sure the road can be dark, winding, have poor surface and whole bunch of other factors but if you were at the wheel after "only five beers" and your friend died are you gonna stand in front of everyone and say "Hey guys it was only five beers and I have a high tolerance because I drink all the time, chill out"?

RIP P-Stone.

I don't mean to take away from the tragedy but I'll offer my 2 cents:

Those who are severely impaired are a danger to others - however I know that statistically they are about as much danger to the public as people who drive tired. Driving while sleep impaired, or talking on the phone, or with kids, or after having consumed a medication that causes drowsiness, or anything else that provides similar impairment - should have the same legal penalty. However we don't put the same fault on any of these incidents as we do for drunk driving.

There are certain rules that could be put in place to curb irresponsible drinking choices- holding the bar that served them alcohol partly liable if not entirely. I remember when my wife first came to the states and we left NYC to visit the small town I'm from in MS. She was perplexed all these bars had parking lots. This is perhaps mostly determined by the USA's infrastructure and how easy it is to get a car/license but people need to understand that driving is a privilege, not a right.

Drinking and driving is a horrible choice that can end with irreversible tragedy. You can drink, you can drive, but do not mix the two. Legal consequences aside, do you really want to spend the rest of your life picturing the people you killed? I think we've had enough tragedies in skateboarding to pull together and learn from other's mistakes.

Feeling for all involved.

Drinking and driving is terrible, ruins lives everytime.
Preston and Cory both lived the wild life, both took that risk that night.
Both made a mistake and and now they're paying.
One instantly, one in the long run.
More than once person had a chance to say/do something to stop them from getting in A car, that's the downside of partying.
Cory will be doing some time, no way around that.
And when he gets out the amazing life he built will be gone.

 

pretty much exactly my thoughts on this. a real tragedy. most people have tossed the dice on this at least once in their life. p-stone being a family man makes it all that much more tragic. i kind of feel that corey isn't necessarily completely fucked and could still have an opportunity for redemption depending on how he handles what's coming his way. he's going to have some heavy demons to deal with and his life will never be the same but i've known people who've recovered from similar situations.

Brutal. Rest in peace Preston.

Feeling for his family and Cory as well. Big mistake, hopefully he can pull through and redeem himself.


Call a cab, crash on a couch, walk. Do what you gotta do, don't drive.

This is too heavy in general. P-Stone was responsible for some pretty legendary videos and was a clearly beloved guy. This is a fragile life we live. While drunk driving is inexcusable and should be condemned, I don't really believe in witch hunting in this context. The damage is done, and Cory's life will never be the same. This situation sucks and it's understandable to have lots of negative emotions in response, but I think it's best to just let his loved ones grieve and take to heart the positivity that came from his work and his life. A bunch of dudes on the internet going after Cory isn't going to make anybody feel better.

I saw that the crash site is less than a mile from his house in his neighborhood. Based on direction from report they were almost to his house.

If Nike really dropped him they are hypocrites for having no problem cashing in on his piling out image.

first off RIP P-Stone

cory blew a 0.10 - 0.11 thats like 5 beers MAX and if hes as big of a pile as everyone seems to make him out to be 5 beers isnt going to effect him like it would someone who doesnt normally drink, im not saying its right or justified at all but i mean shit its obvious P-Stone liked to drink maybe more than a "normal" person does so its possible he was WAY more intoxicated than cory so cory feeling okay (1 beer over the LEGAL limit) decided to drive, im just going to assume both of them have been in this situation tons of times before (only because personally i have been on both sides of this more times than i can remember), if you think this is the first time cory drove after drinking or pstone got in a car with someone who had been drinking youre delusional. if cory was the one who died im sure all of you would be calling pstone a drunk. this whole thing sucks, its a shame that one bad decision can turn into something so tragic

Indeed, a 0.11 is pretty much more a distraction than drunk driving.

I respectfully disagree. I have a pretty high tolerance but definitely feel distracted at 0.05 (the legal limit in Australia). �I also don't think Cory could be anywhere near as much of a drunkard he's made out to be when he still rips as hard as anyone. I don't really recall his drinking to be something that sponsors or even editorial articles focussed on or glorified. He just always looks wicked happy which is often associated with booziness. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) �A few beers at a sesh does not a piled out drunkard make. As was said, this was a MISTAKE not an accident. Drink driving is horrendous and I every time I've done it, which is not often, I have felt a brutal sense of shame and regret in the sober light of day. That's without hurting, let alone being responsible for the death of anyone.

R.I.P-Stone. Good luck Cory.

I hate to argue this but .05 is like half a light beer

Dunno what happened above. You're thinking of alcohol content in the beer, not in your bloodstream.

Nope. Buy a breathalyzer. I did for shots and giggles. Or use an app like alchodroid

2 beer in 2 hours is about the the max then you need to chill Abit before driving.

2 beer is nothing to me but I still won't drive. Got pulled over hammered when I was 17, no license or fuck all. Luckily for me I got a warning and an escort home. Never drank and drove again

It's way Stoopid and gnarly

Last summer my homie hopped in a car with two intoxicated girls and tried to go an hour or so away. Girl missed a corner, went through a guard rail and off about a 15 ft drop into the lake. Both girls drowned. My buddy broke his back and kneck. Adrenaline I guess but he tried to free them twice.

He's almost physically recovered but he is no longer normal. He's super depressed and that's all he talks about. He's a mess mentally

I used to live in the highest policed part of the western world when it comes to drink driving and can tell you that 2 average strength bottled beers in the first hour and you're on .05 give or take for your size, weight, other activity and no matter your "tolerance" you are still impaired. Just because you do it all the time and and you "feel sober" doesn't make you a better driver.

The place I do most of my driving now is in Sweden where the limit is .02 and they are considering dropping that to zero. I won't even consider driving after one beer and I sure as fuck won't drive the next morning if I tied one on the night before.

Ghostface and Julz sound like misinformed teenagers trying to argue around the fact that any intoxicants impair your driving. Sure the road can be dark, winding, have poor surface and whole bunch of other factors but if you were at the wheel after "only five beers" and your friend died are you gonna stand in front of everyone and say "Hey guys it was only five beers and I have a high tolerance because I drink all the time, chill out"?

I agree that there should be 0 in your system.

What most idiots here don't understand is that tons of people die on the roads with no alcohol involved. I mean, have you seen the morons behind the wheel? Texting, paying no attention, don't use turn signals, don't know even the basic rules.

Who gives a shit if you "feel sober"? If that is your main point, you are probably a danger on the road as it is.

That's were a lot of people crash, your brain hits autopilot when you get close to a familiar destination. A friend drove into someones living room 2 houses down from his.
