Poor guy …
-
This sucks. He’s been on the wrong end of some rough shit in his life. Sending good vibes his way.
-
Always been a fan. I wish dude went farther in skating. Was he on 60/40? Heal up fast. I wonder what the scenirao was. I hope he has insurance. That set up looks expensive.
-
Hoping he comes through OK and gets back to his regular life with relative ease. He's definitely had some shit luck over the years
-
He definitely was on the wrong side of things but he turned his life 180 degrees around a few years ago: Was clean had a steady and good job, was positive etc.
He was doing great and was ALWAYS a stand up and friendly guy when I spoke to him …
Terrible news …

He was on ATM Click, then 60/40 right before Menace. Had one dope pro model on 60/40.
Met the dude and he was incredibly cool. Really nice guy. Good vibes his way.
And for reference:

This is heartbreaking. I communicate with him on a regular basis after meeting him in NYC some years back and he took me to his peoples in Sunset park. He is a very open and good person. A raw skate rat, coming from really hard background and has turned his life around. I am praying for him. Very sad news.

This is fucked. I hope he has a speedy recovery. Always been a fan. He’s helped some of my friends in the past. Didn’t know he was driving trucks. That’s a hard job. Dangerous too. Be safe out there everyone. The world can be a harsh place.
-
Fuckin horrible shit, hope he heals up, guy's a legend
-
Why the fuck man. Steven is a good dude and always was nice when we see each other at LA skate he gave me a Harold hunter sticker :(
-
Dude had a really tough life right from the get go and now this. Ughhhhh. Seems like he cleaned himself up and got a legit job, now this nonsense happens to him. Hope he fully recovers and whoever hurt him is brought to justice.
-
Hope he makes a full recovery, sending good thoughts and vibes his way
-
It's so shitty to hear this especially since in the last year or so he has really gotten his life together. Snacks was always super chill with me when we were kids and I've had nothing but love for this man. Hoping he gets well soon

really sucks.

terrible to hear, hope he makes a full recovery.
-
Horrible news. Hope he is ok.
-
He’s a fighter
-
Jesus christ. So sickening what was done to him. Donated
-
fucked up and sad. Hope he pulls through

Sometimes people just get stuck with that, and it’s not their fault. Ya know dudes just wanna beat up and steal from random people sometimes, and it sucks. At least he wasn’t a big name dude who rides a board and invented shit like Rodney Mullen, targeting someone like that would just be heinous. This is why police are needed, but rarely can do anything about it.

Yes, someone's quality of life should be entirely determined by what they've invented on a skateboard. World class fucking analysis right here.

Not what I meant at all. Just saying that Rodney Mullen is a high profile celebrity who basically invented modern skateboarding. There’s a difference between someone randomly jacking up Steven Cales on the street, and someone stalking the celebrity of someone like Mullen. Ya know ones like aggravated assault, while the other one is premeditated.
-
Yeah man delete your shit and start over, you don’t get to redo first impressions
-
Got no clue what dude was going on about but cales always seemed like a solid dude, I’m wishing him all the best

You don't know that it was random. No one does at this point. I'm not sure logic is your friend either.

Here is the link, so anyone on Slap can make a donation. I just donated a little bit. It's great to see all the love he is receiving on the gofundme page.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/recovery-fund-for-steven-cales?utm_source=fb_copy_link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp%20share-sheet&fbclid=IwAR29aoubkRE4KlR3tHqe1mhXYrmU3Fz_ODQ_D0ZPiCDPbaLTYYPrQv2zVQI
Here is the text from the go fund me, with a little more information on that evil assault he has experienced. Shit is so disgusting.
"I need everyone to pray for my dearest friend right now, on Monday morning Steven Cales was brutally assaulted and robbed in Indiana after his truck broke down. We know several people he was last with and there’s a police investigation to catch the people who did this to him.
His ear was torn off, his lung is collapsed, jaw wired, he sustained injuries from being struck repeatedly with a blunt force object, both of his hands were broken (bc if you know Steven you know he put up the fight of his life)…
He just came out of his second reconstructive surgery and his vital signs are good, Miraculously regardless of the massive head injuries, he has no signs of brain injury.
I will keep everyone updated as we find out the next steps towards his recovery.
Steven is the love of my life; he was on a good path and he’s a true Warrior Spirit. These cowards left him for dead.
His immediate family and I are raising money to help with the costs of his bills as he has a long road to recovery.
Right now we need PVO only and everyone’s prayers."

I think I get what your saying, but who the fuck says something like this? It’s heinous no matter what and just because you would care more if it was Rodney doesn’t mean other people would. Also, you might want to rethink the way you value people’s lives. The death might affect you different, but that doesn’t change how horrible a loss of life is (we can talk about the morality of killing another time).
I hope Steven is doing well. These things shouldn’t happen.
-
get well soon
-
Goal almost reached. Huge amounts were donated
-
in Indiana? what the hell
I know you can get rolled anywhere but unless you are in Gary it seems fairly unlikely

On the gofundme there is a girlfriend who has just made some updates on his health. The new pictures are hard to watch. Let's hope for a speedy recovery.

You're right, those are tough to watch. Imagine willingly doing this to someone. Poor guy.
He easily could have been beaten to death ...

As a nonviolent person, I can't comprehend why a stranger like Steven Cales was to these people, had done to deserve such a sickening treatment.
I hope they find them and get a proper sentence.

Those are wild pics. I had brain surgery last year from a bike accident. Although it wasn't as intense as Cales's injury, the body does heal and I was even able to make a full recovery. Hopefully he can do the same.
-
from the gofundme: "Miraculously regardless of the massive head injuries, he has no signs of brain injury." thank god.
-
very fucked up, sending positive vibes and hope it's not life threatening.
-
Good lord thats horrific, fucking animals.
Nice to see the community come together and cover his recovery in part (i'm guessing) lets keep that number rising!
-
Just got a DM from Steven, so hopefully that means things are looking up.

The people who attacked him really almost killed him … gnarly injuries
-
They were trying to kill him, no doubt. That’s a savage attack and I wonder if he even knew the perpetrators. He’s a tough motherfucker, he’s going to pull through. Crazy he didn’t have any brain injuries considering how many times he was hit over the head. Those pics are heart wrenching.
-
Hang in there, Brother Cales. More of us out here rooting for you than you can possibly ever know.
Hold fast. Stay true. Skateboarding needs more people like you.

Gnarly, seems a tough MF!

Fuck , this is heartbreaking. Dude was so dope. Hand picked for 60/40 by the Gonz. Loved his skating and I’ll never forget the Venture ad where he’s skating in bred 4’s. Hope the people are caught and get some real jail time.

That’s the Supreme guy.

Yeah that was James. They also gave £50,000 to the Long Live Southbank campaign and didn't tell anybody.
-
From reading the initial post it’s amazing to see his progress. His spirit is strong. Hope he’s able to get through everything
-
It is absolutely astounding that there was no traumatic brain injury when looking at those photos. Karma is one hell of a thing. Whoever was responsible for this has lots of bad things coming their way.
-
lock those guys up for attempted murder and throw away the key
-
Holy shit man. That photo of him sitting all swollen fucked me up. Lucky to be alive, fuck man.
In 2013 he moved back to NY and it turned out we had some mutual friends. Dude treated me like I was another one of his boys from the 90s, nothing but respect.

He just posted a pic on his story showing him standing looking fresh. Good to see. Dudes tough and I don’t know many people who would be able to be walking around after something like that. Happy to see him getting better.
-
he also got shot in the face and walked that off too. top rudeboy.
