Damn shame.. The good die young..
I met him during an almost tour a few years ago and talked heaps about traveling, skateboarding, weed and music. We kept in touch and he gave me lots of advice on traveling. Crazy shit is he just got married too. Hope his family and friends are holding up well. I just watched his ill part in SB Chronicles Vol 1.

really bummed on this, I loved this guys skating, his nollie 360 flips were a thing of beauty!
I want to know what happened.
if this is really true, Rest In Power!

Lewis Marnell former Nike team rider dies of diabetes oooohh that sounds super marketable for Nike I mean he still is under contract right? im not going to feel bad for the dude because by riding for Nike he probably stole the livelihoods of a lot of skaters that were supporting the people that supported them. Nike bought him because he gave off this pure, self conscious image of a guy who wouldn't do something bad and that's the exact opposite of what he actually did and will probably be most known for at his death. Lewis Marnell deceased Nike rider. I can't wait for them to release his unseen footage and slap a Nike logo right in front of it. I don't know exactly how he died but if it would have been a long and costly death, I am quite certain Nike would have dumped him in a heartbeat if they couldn't profit from it. And he, Lewis Marnell, supported people like that and helped them destroy their competitors that probably would help someone in a time of need like that. Good riddance.

A lot of what you are saying isn't even coherent though? and you're being overly-assumptious about this? Low as people burning books so they don't know the truth? You don't know the truth yet though, no one does. There are some people who view the slap forum who in all likelihood will have known Lewis personally at some stage and this is a time of mourning for them. In terms of the thread for skaters who didn't, appreciation. If you haven't got something nice to say in this situation then don't say anything at all?
I don't even know why I'm giving you the time of day, bit it's because you're so thick

Fuck you Snowman you self-righteous piece of shit.

RIP Lewis. I never knew him, but he was an amazing skateboarder. Always sad to see somebody pass away so young.
For anybody concerned, I just banned snowman. Anybody who has anything to share but respect, please don't. You're an awful person if you do.

His switch backside flips were amazing. His skating was amazing in general. RIP Lewis. :-[

Such a bummer, his part in Nothing But The Truth was sooo sick
-
Damn, RIP thats a bummer.

Snowman, I know you're reading this so I'll try articulate it for you as best I can. We are talking about the loss of a human being. You yourself are one of those. It's a fundamental concept, one worth grasping.
RIP Lewis.

LEWIS MARNELL DIES AT 31 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSxoMdidw0k#ws)
sorry, who is this guy, is this you Tate?
-
I met Lewis once at a demo. Even though he was sweaty from skating, he hugged me rather than shake my hand. I suppose there is some sort of metaphor for life in that.
-
I am so happy that snowwoman was banned.
Lewis Marnell was such an amazing skateboarder. Best part in nothing but the truth and best part in the Almost video. I felt a great amount of sadness when hearing this news this morning. No matter if you like one skateboarder or not, we are all connected.
-
Rest in peace old friend
-
This is the worst news to wake up to R.I.P, one of Australias best
Litterally only saw him skating a couple of month ago and he was shredding
so that just makes snowmans comments more stupid
But no one will ever be able to skate a long gap like Lewis and make it look so small

Like I said in the last thread that got deleted, he's shredding with Shane and Bob Marley and Peter Tosh right now.

-
When cheese and crackers came out I watched his bonus part on there a ton, probably close to every day, it was my favorite part for a long time. Loved the lines he does regular then switch at that plaza. so good.
R.I.P. Lewis.

I always loved the dude. Snowman: you seem like a spazz. You have no idea how Nike or the rest of his sponsors are going to handle the situation. Putting out footage of him after he died? I can't see how that would be in bad taste. And saying how riding for Nike steals money from innocent souls? That's called hyperbole.

RIP

Was he from Victoria or NSW?
This fuckin sucks.

Damn. Homie was on a tear as well, putting out those Nike and Almost parts within just a few months of each other a year or so back.
Rest in peace to another ripper, and condolences to any pals on here that might've known him.

One of the best
RIP
my deepest sympathies to his family and friends
-
Damn.
Volcom part was the first time I saw him. I was amazed by his skating and style, could not believe he was like 15-16 years old when he filmed that stuff.
-
Never met him but the news still makes me incredibly sad
I'm kind of bummed Nike SB hasn't put up anything on their site, dudes been repping the swoosh before prod. I'm sure they will soon though.
I always viewed him as one of the blue collar skate video heroes. Consistently put out quality 3 min parts for his sponsors every year.
I hope people don't take this the wrong way, but to me, this further creates this eery aura around 'Let's Live' that makes the viewer feel privileged to be witnessing these amazingly talented and rad dudes that are no longer with us in probably their happiest youthful years. It's been my personal favorite video ever since it came out.
I once asked Wes Kremer who had his favorite part in Let's Live and he said Lewis
Again, RIP Lewis. As a fan, I appreciate for how you represented yourself as a skateboarder.
-
RIP and condolences to his friends and family.
-
R.I.P. Lewis...
Dude was hella cool. So damn good too. Sad.
-
:'( :'( :'( :'( Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk
RIP man, i love you
-
He was one of my favorite skaters just because he looked so at ease when skating the biggest shit.
RIP to Lewis.
Condolences to his family and friends.
-
Damn.
Volcom part was the first time I saw him. I was amazed by his skating and style, could not believe he was like 15-16 years old when he filmed that stuff.
exactly.
real fucking bummer
dollin brought him up, he was definitely one of the only guys to just keep it to ledges, gaps, flatground and not get bored seeing him. deep bag of tricks with every single one properly executed and popped
always killing it in dunk highs
somewhere lewis isn't taking insulin shots anymore while blazing it with homie shane cross and listening to the dopest live reggae
hell yeah
-
Fuck... I remember the first thing I saw from him was (I think) his "welcome to almost ad" or something on the back of an old transworld. That sequence of him switch bs flipping over a picnic table is burned into my brain, it's SOOO fucked up. Never met him, but saw him at a demo he was on a killing spree. Such a bummer. Dude was a fucking workhorse and seemed to have a kind welcoming personality. R.I.P. man.
-
was so hyped on his firing line this past summer, still such a shock. truly a legend.
-
rip... the really weird thing about this for me is that my dad just told me that lewis is his boss's godson...
-
Didn't he marry someone a little while ago? I feel so sorry for her..
Skateboarding lost a rather big icon. I remember the first time watching his nike part and I was doubting whether he was reg or goofy for minute. He was so good at skating both normal and switch.
RIP!
-
Fuck this.. :'( Remember first time i was in Stockholm, and there was this buzz about a kid from Australia who just moved to sweden, who was hooked up by Kareem. Lewis was the first skater together with Ali, who presented skateboarding to me as something really extraordinary, like super skaters, pro?s. And they where just kids. But they where sooo good, and unreachable talented.
Lewis ended up showing me and some friends around the city, and i stayed at his hotel for a few days where he lived until he was getting a flat in Sweden. Dudes was soo short, so cocky, and unbelievable talented. We crossed paths a lot of times over the years, and when i moved to Stockholm we started skating together more often, me and him skating during the days when other people where working. Its been a gift to having seen him grown from this superkid to one of the most humble and talented skaters out there.
Lewis have a lof of friends in Sweden, and wont be forgotten. Miss you pal.
Vila i frid Lewis & Johan.

so, so sad.
may you rest in peace, Lewis.
-
Horrible news! I actually watched the sb chronicles yesterday, his nollie tre over that picnic table is legendary. R.I.P. Lewis your skating will always inspire me!
-
I remember meeting him while he was smoking a joint at Brooklyn Banks years ago. And as some may know, it's right next to One Police Plaza. Homie's a true G.
It's always really sad to hear about a fellow skater passing, more so than any celebrity or any other athlete. Rest in paradise dude.
-
Had the privilege of knowing Lewis for 10+ years.
Amazing Person.
Deepily saddened by this.
I will say I am so proud of him for achieving so much in his life.
-
This fakie hardflip is for you Lewis. RIP. you will be missed
-
Ugh, this is disheartening.
rest in peace.:-[
-
thats terrible. i never met him or anything but his parts always stood out to me. from what i heard he was a super rad dude. its really sad whenever something like this happens.
-
Shred in peace.
It's always sad to lose a fellow skater.
-
rest in piece, he was easily one of my favorites when I first started skating.

Enjoy your next skate for him, I'm sure that's what he'd have wanted.

-
I remember first seeing him in Chicagof. Another ripper taken too soon. RIP.
Me too. I remember being blown away. There's a line in that part where he switch crooks a bench and then switch hardflip's a stair set. I was amazed. So good. Such talent.
R.I.P. You're gonna missed by all.
My thoughts go out to his wife and family.
-
just watched like every second of footage tonight of Lewis on the internet. Dont even know/met/seen/glanced at '''';;; the guy and this news seriously bums me out.. Just seen like a really good dude and fucking killed it on a skateboard. way too young:(
anyways R.I.P:(
-
Chicagof was one of the main videos I watched growing up, always loved the line where he is filming Dollin and they switch.
RIP, and hoping that his family and friends make it through all this okay.

You could tell so early with Lewis that he was going to be a force in the skateboarding community; he just had whatever "it" is. The style and fluidity of his skating always spoke volumes to me, it looked so natural and unforced: it just made you want to go get some. Ever since Chichagof came out I just wanted more. I can remember being so excited to see Lewis finally getting hooked up proper from his sponsors and waited eagerly for literally anything from the man. It could have been just one trick in a montage, but I just remember anything from him would get me so psyched. The man gave a lot of joy to me personally through his skateboarding, as I'm sure it resonated with many others here, and I'm sure he would appreciate all the love and positive support being generated in this tragic time. Although he may be gone, like many of our countless other fallen brothers, his skating will live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who were affected by it. Thank you so much Lewis for the memories and all that you gave to the collective skateboarding whole.
-
R.I.P :(, it was just yesterday that I watched his 5 incher part. Dude killed it

From Lewis' Mum
"FYI and to clear up any quandries relating to Lewis' s sad & untimely passing, he had a massive hypoglycemic reaction which did not respond to ingested glucose. He was at home and was discovered by his wife around 6.30 on Friday night Melb time. It was not possible to resuscitate him and we are all still trying to come to terms with this tragedy. We ask everybody to send out thoughts and prayers of love and comfort. Please keep his memory alive and let this not be a terrible waste"

Well, I'm a Type 1 Diabetic since I was 9 years old - and I know there are some other Slap Pals that are diabetics aswell -, and seriously a severe hypoglycemia was the only scenario of diabetes related happening that could explain the death of a young person such as Lewis.
It's really not a complication of the illness but a straight accident - and, worst of all, an accident that take place due to a convergence of circumstances: an hypoglycemia is an abnormally diminished content of glucose in the blood and it could be restored as easily as ingesting anything sugary - in a matter of two minutes you feel the effects of your sugar levels going back to normal, or more exactly, you could feel the effects of being low going away.
This is a common thing in a diabetic life and you learn to easily detect when you're going down on glucose 'cause your body tells you loud and clear. But sometimes and due to a mix of factors - you're also tired, sleepy, had to much of a physical exercise that steadily consume your glucose levels and you're not able to fight it eating more carbs, or your last insulin dose was higher than the planned eating pattern... -, the hypoglycemia could get severe to the point that you'll need more than a simple sugar cube and an orange juice.
An average person maintain glucose levels between 90-120 mg/dl.
An hypoglycemia happens below 72 mg/dl.
A human body may lost consciousness due to an hypoglycemia below 35 mg/dl. but it depends on the person situation.
I've never had lost consciousness due to an hypoglycemia but I've been around the 37 mark in a pair of occasions in my life due to mistaking the symptoms to just being fatigued and lagged eating and, both times, was my wife who recognize my dopey behavior and took care.
That's why Lewis' death it's even a sadder thing 'cause it probably involves a mix of really unfortunate little things that could easily have been fixed pre-unconsciousness or even during the unconscious state with an in-time shot of Glucagon or the intervention of paramedics. But I guess it all was too late.
I'm really feeling for his wife.
Rest In Peace Lewis.

His skating was always on point...

Rip In Paradise Lewis Marnell, Never knew you but its just sad to see another one of our brothers from the skate world go.

Fuck. Diabetes is no joke.
-
As I said in the other thread I met Lewis a few years ago and we such a nice, humble, and genuinely good human being. His death happened under tragic circumstances, and I send out good thoughts and positive vibes to his family and friends.
Rest in Peace Lewis.
I also find it sadly ironic that the song in his most recent part was called "Crying Time"
-
I skated yesterday in memory of Lewis. Even though it was an off day for me and I ended up with swellbow and two very bruised fingers, I just had to keep going because I felt I had to.
As I said in the last thread, I never watched a part of his that I didn't like. Shane and Lewis are skating doubles in the ether.
-
R.I.P. Lewis
Another fallen brother, in the wake of a tragedy like this it really does bring the skate community together, it's just a shame it takes such a tragedy like this for people to come together.

RIP. Still can't believe this. Seriously a great person.

So sad. I remember this ad blew my mind.

Rip Marnell! blessed be your journey.
This makes you think of life that is so fragile. makes you want to be a better person makes you want to live the time you have and enjoy the moments you have. I hope he had a good life, he was always smiling and he got to do what he most loved.
one great man lost but not forgotten.
all prays to his family and wife.

Wow, I don't typically post on slap I usually come for the rest of the story on isues like this but this is censorship as far as I'm concerned,
This Snowman guy sucks but he doesnt speak for anyone other than his own dumb ass. With respect to the decesed, I think you (ADMIN) should reconsider CENSORING, ,
isn't that the reason people read slap for a safe place to give opinions and be truthful??

There's a difference between being a disrespectful kook and giving an opinion/being truthful.

And your argument is that disrespectful kooks aren't part of skateboarding, because I can think of plenty.
It does not really matter who says what but that there is an even grounded place to say it, whether you agree or not, censoring Snow Man is taking away that voice for any one, you or these (ADMINS) don't agree with ,defeating the purpose of SLAP,,
Integrity of SLAP is the only reason I think this matters and by censoring it shows SLAP doesn't practice what they preach so adamantly.
-
This feels so strange, I didn't even know the guy but because I watched some videos of him while growing up and skating I feel like I've lost a friend from ages back. Whatever, if that sounds stupid fuck it. I hope his family are keeping well and can take some comfort in the fact that hundreds/thousands of skaters all over appreciated Lewis' skating and are also truly sad to see him go so soon.
Rest In Peace
-
Really devastated :(
Every interaction I ever had with Lewis, I'd always end up smiling after. Always.
-
RIP
-
Such shitty news. Skateboarding has suffered a huge loss, especially the Australian skate scene. I'm also bummed for Chima and Dustin, those guys must be so hurt, first Shane, now this. I remember watching his part in the bonus section of Round 3 when it first came out and I fucking loved him ever since. Rest In Power Lewis.

Wow, I don't typically post on slap I usually come for the rest of the story on isues like this but this is censorship as far as I'm concerned,
This Snowman guy sucks but he doesnt speak for anyone other than his own dumb ass. With respect to the decesed, I think you (ADMIN) should reconsider CENSORING, ,
isn't that the reason people read slap for a safe place to give opinions and be truthful??
And your argument is that disrespectful kooks aren't part of skateboarding, because I can think of plenty.
It does not really matter who says what but that there is an even grounded �place to say it, whether you agree or not, censoring Snow Man is taking away that voice for any one, you or these (ADMINS) don't agree with ,defeating the purpose of SLAP,,
Integrity of SLAP is the only reason I think this matters and by censoring it shows SLAP doesn't practice what they preach so adamantly.
That isn't my argument at all. What I'm trying to say is that this is a very touchy subject and to come here and slander the man after he has passed away. Have some respect for those who have fallen. Place yourself this situation, someone who you are very close to has just passed away then some inconsiderate person comes in and starts slandering them while you are trying to mourn for the loss of your loved one. This is that situation. Have some compassion for another human life.

HAha wow now your accusing me of not having compassion for human life, way to avoid the entire argument altogether, and appealing to emotions does not carry an argument,,
Do you like spouting off your witty remarks and gracing all of us with your hilarious commentary, well what if one day you said something the (ADMIN) thought was out of line.. BAM! you're deleted, it doesn't matter how regular you or anyone else is on here
WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY WHAT WE WANT, otherwise this is a futile self serving skate-masterbatory web site that can go get f-d like the rest of the dumb ass censoring corporate thugs out there..

Who in Jesus fucking shitballs christ is offended by the silencing of the shit snowman said? Let it be known that I, and the other moderators rarely ever delete posts. The only instances I ever delete posts are spam, pirated links, direct sexual references toward a minor, and the post snowman made. Even when somebody does post something offensive like a gangrene-ridden butthole or a racist slur toward a user, I'll give them a temporary ban with a warning rather than flat out deleting the post. The level of tolerability on SLAP is huge. Hell, I didn't even delete the material other posters quoted from snowman.
I'd also like to add that what sets SLAP apart from most other online communities is the strong presence of intelligent conversation, and this is in part due to regulation of what people post. Consider Youtube comments, online gaming voice chat, 4chan, etc. When there's no regulation, any attention starved kid like snowman will overwhelm the conversation with garbage and turn it to shit. Online communities need moderation to minimize that input and keep the real conversation going.
I assure you that SLAP is not in danger of totalitarian regulation. We didn't delete the "Nyjah sex tape" thread when his sponsors asked us to, we didn't delete the "Ben Raemers sister" thread when his sponsors asked us to, we don't monitor PMs for links when Infamous Entertainment asks us to, and so on. Mindlessly blasting a conversation grieving the death of somebody that many people on this forum know personally is crossing the line in the worst way and absolutely within reason of deletion.

This is a sad day for sure. I remember looking in a Swedish skate magazine called funsport from like 1998. And there was this trick tip by lewis doing hardflip, he was so young and there was alot of talk about how good he was. And then when he came up and pulled it of in the volcon video I knew thid guy was no joke. For sure one of my favorites. Loved when I saw an almost clip on transworlds site and the song they used was an Ebba Gr?n song (swedish punkband).
RIP
From three guys travelling through America.

so sad.. I vividly remember seeing his shared part with dollin in chicagof for the first time and being blown away, not knowing who he was.. and his part in that digital video to marvin gaye was the best.. the only part i really remember from that video.. rest in peace lewis
-
RIP to Lewis. I remember he had a switch flip photo down a pretty big set of stairs in an old TWS article (I think it was a "Time to Shine" Australia article) and I've been a fan ever since. When I think of switch flips, that's the pic I remember. I was also a huge fan of his Chicagof and Cheese and Crackers parts.

I used to skate his second-hand Dunks via. a mutual friend at city park many years ago. My strength and condolences to those close to him. I know the Melbourne scene is hurting now. Here's hoping someone puts up a memorial piece at Prahran or Fitzroy. Vale Lewis Marnell. RIP.
-
i remember when i was like 10 or 11 at citypark melbourne, seeing lewis, dollin, chima and there crew skating and it was amazing. just before they left me and my mate spoke to lewis for like 10-15 minutes just asking random questions as young kids would yet he still responed so positively to all of them. r.i.p lewis!
-
This is tragic. I always looked forward to this guys skating, never skipped his parts in any videos I watched, always good vibes and dope skating done right. Rest in peace, homie.

Shame, dude was hard as fuck

Wow, just heard of this today, got me really bummed, so unexpected, I never knew him personally but a loss in skateboarding is a collective one. RIP
-
Are you fucking serious? This isn't really happening is it? Holy hell...
-
Saw him in NYC a few years ago skating at Thompkins with a Baker board. I think there was a kicker that day and he was doing head high kick flips and front flips. I was like, 'who is this white boy with dreads killin' it?'. The same dude that had gotten on Almost months later.
Man, he had so much epic skating left in him to show the world.
R.I.P. bro.

I had the opportunity to film him one day and I know people exaggerate the positive aspects of peoples character when they pass away, but he truly was one of the nicest people I ever met. He was so thankful that I filmed him even though I was just some random kid who was there because my friend had me along. We talked for a long time even though he had a huge crew of Aussies with him and really was just a great guy. Here are the 2 clips he got that day, which are awesome. RIP Lewis Marnell.

I hope someone posts his first interview in Slam where he does a Nollie front heel at Melbourne Museum. From 2003 I think.
-
RIP Lewis, another terrible shock in the Aus skate scene.
-
Lewis Marnell and Luke Croker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJc0u7-AdkYn#) Great clip of two amazing skaters... Lewis, roll in piece you gnarly shreder !
-
Holy shit...what a sad thing to find on returning to work today. I initially judged him because of his dreadlocks...then his attitude, kindness (from what I could tell) and skating won me over. Yet another lesson in the fact that I tend to be wrong 99% of the time when I judge people on outward appearances.
So sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with his friends, family and wife.
-
R.I.P Lewis, i was super bummed when i heard about this. Started with Rob Brinks instagram post then went from there.
I got to meet him in Chicago when SB were at wilson, I also had dreads then and was growing them for 2 years, so we got into dread talk and he has his for 5 at that point. He was a really cool guy and maybe ill post the pictures of that day on here. But if anyones from chicago here, he kickflip FS tailslid the bump to ledge on the pyramid and i think it might have been first try. It was amazing to see someone skate that smooth and consistant, hes one of those guys you could just tell he skated "Pro" level just chilling.
Im glad i got to run into him and see how sick a person he is.
-
Very sad, condolences to his friends and family.
I just saw the nollie 360-flip over the picnic table (Almost sequence) again a few days ago, he was truly a professional, always surprisingly good and inspiring.
-
If he has enough footage for a new part please dont disrespect it the way they did with Shane in Extremely Sorry.

Who are you to say that Shane's memory was disrespected in Extremely Sorry?
The over-editing.

I'm just a fan of skateboarding. They didnt disrespect his memory but they disrespected the clips he worked for by drawing bats and fireballs all over it. Maybe that's what he wanted, I dont know, but it seemed whack to me.

Shane cross extremely sorry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De17HnpLgSw#)
meh.. I don't see anything wrong with it; It's kinda psychedelic. I don't know Shane, but I bet the guys over at Flip probably did. And I'm guessing they had an idea of what Shane would have liked/not liked.

RIP to an amazing skater. Bummed to hear this.

This really happened?
We didn't delete the "Nyjah sex tape" thread when his sponsors asked us to, we didn't delete the "Ben Raemers sister" thread when his sponsors asked us to

Really bummed on this, met Lewis once and he was cool as fuck!
He was one of those guys who could get pretty tech but still look great doing it.
I remember being blown away by his nbtt nike part, I was super hyped on the song and read-up about Lee Perry. He has been on the player along with loads of other reggae and dub ever since. Even went to see his show a few months back, probably thanks to Lewis using him in that part.
I have a good friend whose brother is type 1 diabetic so I know a little about it. His brother started using heroin about a year ago and he told me he was terrified about him just getting high and forgetting to take care of of his insulin levels. He also thought the fact he was spending all his money on dope would stop him from eating properly which seems to be essential when diabetic. Pretty scary that a relatively healthy person like Lewis can pass away like this!

Somehow I imagined the people at the Element offices stressing out and making calls trying to stop one thing and - at the same time - the people at the enjoi offices laughing their asses off and making calls trying to blow the other thing out of proportion.

RIP LEWIS MARNELL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXMbEOEc3s4&feature=player_embedded#)
''I briefly met Lewis for the fist time around 1997 when he was in Stockholm, and we filmed a trick for 411. Then we came to Melbourne in 2003 with the Clich? team to film for Bon App?tit, and him and Dustin Dollin took really good care of us, bringing us to their super good spots. Lucas and Lewis clicked together pretty good. There was a bunch of tricks Lucas wanted to do, but Dustin was always "no Lewis already did it on that spot!"'' - French Fred

This will forever be my laptop background.

You will be remembered as long as skateboarding stays alive.
