You can bet, without a doubt, that they will. Typically there's a morality clause worked into contracts with big companies like these.

Dude DA's are starting to crack down on DUI related stuff, been charging people with 1st degree murder and shit. I'm not saying that will happen here. But vehicular homicide is not involuntary manslaughter at all.
-
Condolences to his poor family. Dude seemed like a great person.
-
RIP, the grill will never be the same.
-
Holy shit this is terrible news RIP
-
Well this is fucking terrible news all round.
If he's convicted of vehicular homicide it's a minimum of 15-20 months in WA, but could be significantly more. WA is one of the toughest states on DUI crimes. Hopefully it turns out to be untrue or misteported...
RIP P Stone.

if the rumors are true, this is a dark, dark day for professional skateboarding.

holy fuck....

Damn... I've been driving across the country and have seen endless "don't drive drunk" signs.
Always a bummer to lose a fellow skater. RIP P-Stone. Pretty sure I met him at Tampa AM way back in the early 2000s for my first gig as a filmer, he taught me how to time code footage / tricks. Would see him around SF all the time, always with a smile.
Crazy his last Insta post was of Cory blasting an air:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYbedbagoFB/?hl=en&taken-by=pstonebru (https://www.instagram.com/p/BYbedbagoFB/?hl=en&taken-by=pstonebru) (that's Cory right?)

looks like corys bail was denied also..
-
Rip man, this sounds unbelievable, is it wrong for me to feel sympathetic towards Cory? One person is gone and another has to sit in a cell in an awful situation that could happen to almost anyone.
-
Rest peacfull P-Stone and wow, prayers and positive thoughts to all the family and friends
Awful, awful news
-
Holy shit - terrible..

Rip man, this sounds unbelievable, is it wrong for me to feel sympathetic towards Cory? One person is gone and another has to sit in a cell in an awful situation that could happen to almost anyone.
Absolutely not. One person is not alive anymore, the other just got life turned into a living hell. It was an accident, and could've happen to anyone who's an irresponsible drinker (like me).

Goddamn skateboarding lost one of its special characters RIP

Yeah I think it's a natural reaction when someone you like (at least on the superficial level of enjoying their skateboarding) goes astray for whatever reason. You know he's not a bad guy overall, he just made a really bad decision and now he's going to pay for it.
Mostly though I feel sorry for P-Stone's kids.
-
Fuck, never thought i would feel so horrible over someone that i personally never met but this is truly heartbreaking. I'm seriously in shock at how much dejavu this gave me since i still remember the day i heard about the Shane/Ali thing go down. I feel so bad for Cory because i feel he will probably get the same treatment Ali got all those years when he was shamed in the skateboard world. This is truly devastating all around.
-
I hope the third passenger is ok.

I don't even know what to say. Rest in Peace.

I hope the third passenger is ok.
no kidding. I wonder who it was.

I was initially disgusted with Cory, but I realized the situation, as terrible as it is, almost speaks more to the rampant problem of substance abuse in the skateboard industry, and how it's really only discussed when a Keenan/Shane/P-stone occurs. Had last night not happened, would there have been a moment when Cory's sponsors spoke to him out of concern for his wellbeing, or would they have continued to market his partying as harmless and benefit off it?
Side note: I know times are changing and I know certain companies do this for their riders, but it should be a mainstay by this point.
And yeah, those poor fucking kids and that third passenger...

P stone was the fucking shit though man. Straight beers bowls and barneys. He was the fuckin best.

I've never met P-Stone in my life, but from the way he laughed in a lot of his Bru Ray footage, how he cheered everyone on and brought so much stoke and good vibes, I could feel this guy's good energy through the screen. I'm tearing up right now thinking about how many people are absolutely stunned by this, especially his children and wife. This is so tragic and unexpected, it doesn't seem real. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this. Love you P-Stone, may you rest in peace...
-
Fuuuuuck man. Drinking and driving is so fucked. Coming from an idiot whos crashed his car while blacked out. Thank god nobody was in the car with me. Sad as shit man.

RIP. Feel for his family and friends. I'll be looking out for the gofundme page.
Someday skaters will quit glorifying drinking so much, how many more are these have to happen?

This loss hurt all the way to my soul.
Such a nice guy. He was probably the best thing about modern day Thrasher.
I really hope that there is some kind of epic road trip or session in his honor. Lots of grilling, camping and laughter with the crew.

Two kiddos without a daddy, and a career/life totally fucked. NOT WORTH IT. Gutted for P-Stone's family and for Cory. I can't imagine losing my spouse and having to deal with the grief, while also taking care of my kid. Truly horrible. My (much) older half brother killed two friends rolling a Jeep down a hill while drunk back in the day, and it basically ruined his life and scarred my father forever. This story is as old as cars and it just keeps happening over and over.

Always loved how he would cut to random babes in his vids. He honestly inspired me to be a better griller. :'(

i wonder if the other passenger was Manchild? looking at insta, it seems like those three were traveling together.
-
I'll save my feelings and comments on DUIs. I have one, and I'm grateful nobody got hurt and wouldn't put anyone I love in that position again. I met p-stone once. He came into my work to buy a sandwich and I fanned the fuck out on him. I even asked for a pic and he obliged. Instead of just brushing me off (I was almost 30 years old when this happened) he invited me outside to meet the whole Real team that he was with. He was so fucking nice and genuine, I was/am a forever fan. Rest easy big dog. We all will miss you.

This is shocking...he was the type of person skateboarding was lucky to have, funny, down to earth, smart...absolutely destructive for everyone involved.
One of my friends was driving drunk and hit another car with a family inside. Killed them and himself as well. It was a nightmare. Don't drive if you're intoxicated, period.

I wasn't on my phone for a few hours,and then start scrolling instagram and see the posts, and just can't help but feel bad for everyone involved,PStone's family, the other passengers....Bruray brought the stoke and he was THE MAN. Such an inspiration as a filmer, BBQr, liver of life and just being a rad person. Corey has a long road ahead of him no doubt,which ever sponsors stay with him in the aftermath get a tip of the hat. Horrible day for skateboarding all around.

R.I.P. P-Stone.
And I have no sympathy for CK. Don't fucking drive drunk.

Looks like people are already giving Cory the Boulala treatment on his insta. I don't understand that.

Yes it is. We all make choices. And when your drunk you tend to make fucking stupid ones. Cory is obviously at fault here but to condemn a man for making a horrible choice that he's going to have to face the ultimate consequence of (Knowing he killed his friend) is fucking whack as shit. All I have to say about that is think about how you would act if it was your brother or sister who was the one driving the car? How would you treat them? That's how we should all treat each other.

Whats the prison sentence for drink driving in the US?
According to the internet, for Washington, if it's to be trusted:
"Now, the sentencing range for vehicular homicide is between 78 and 102 months - the same as First Degree Manslaughter."
Obviously, this could go a lot of ways - plea to a lesser charge being the most common probably. The ability to hire a good attorney helps, and the rumors were always that Cory's parents were rich so that might come into play.

Don't be a dick, that's not victim blaming. He wasn't raped or murdered, it was an accident. A terrible, awful, tragic accident.

Theres variables invovled,my friend hit a tree with passengers drunk driving and one dude broke his leg. No pressed charges while he was facing manslaughter charges amongst the dui charges,only had to serve 12 days in jail(that he worked out on weekends mostly)a shitload of fines and community service and classes. Had someone pressed charges he said he was looking at 18 months. As far as I know every state is different too,this was in CA over 10 years ago compared to present day...I'll say minimum 3/5 years just based off of the fact this incident is similar to the Boulala/Cross situation. It's terrible
Edit: bandwayrules has a proper answer

Man this is terrible, fuck drinking. Not the first not the last...

Washington is really starting to crack down hard on DUI's too. So we'll see what happens but I'm guessing he gets hit with vehicular manslaughter + DUI at the very least.

Agree. Some people either haven't experienced enough stuff to give them some empathy, or else they're so dense that the world can only exist in black and white, good and bad terms. Life is lumpy and grey and we shouldn't be so fucking lame to each other. As tragedies like this illustrate.
-
So tragic and sad. Shit. I want to get mad but before I put the bottle down (thank you Reynolds for showing how it's done) I definitely pulled as regular shit. I cannot imagine how Corey feels. I'm upset, but humans make mistakes. I was quietly wondering the extent of his partying.
Stay safe y'all, and if anybody feela they wanna not drink always feel free to PM me. I'm not advocating temperance btw, just saying if somebody's time is up I'm happy to help. Otherwise do your thing and please be responsible

This is fucking terrible. My deepest condolences to P-Stone's friends and family.
As for Cory? He's probably one of my favorite skaters of the new breed and this is an insanely stupid mistake that cost him a friend, most likely his career, and his freedom. I have empathy for him, and I hope others learn from his mistake.
His career with Nike is pretty clearly done and I wouldn't be surprised if he's off Girl. He is facing significant jail time (as he should be) and unless he somehow wasn't drunk (highly unlikely given he has already been charged), I can't see how he will not lose a couple years of freedom.
I don't want to blame the victim, but remember, P-Stone got in a car with a drunk Cory. I would have significantly less empathy for Cory if he killed an innocent kid crossing the street. I don't know if that is the correct way to view it, but I do.
I had a friend who killed another friend in a car accident when we were 17. They weren't drunk but they weren't wearing seatbelts. This is something Cory will never forget and haunt him for the rest of his life. He doesn't need assholes commenting on his IG like that. Long term, everywhere he goes, this is what people will associate with him, and that is a very heavy burden to carry. He is going to wake up many days for the rest of his life wishing it was him and not P-Stone.
-
First, I can't understate my feelings for P stone's family.Also i loved him/his work etc..
I feel so bad for CORY, people will hate, but he accidentally killed one of his best friends, it will kill him inside for a long time if not forever. The spark he had in his eye may never comeback, look at Boulala he never got that light back. Cory will probably want to spend every day possible in that prison. I feel horrible for him. P Stone loved Cory and would be bummed at everyone hating on Cory. They were partying together and this tragedy happened. P Stone would want us all to support Cory through his horrible journey he will have to make.
In one recent Thrasher Cory said to Phelper something like "all my friends are dead or in jail" I know Cory was self medicating through lots of internal sadness just based of that quote.
I wish we could give P Stone back to his family and to all of skateboarding, but it can't be so. I wish we could give Cory back to skateboarding and back to his happy ways, but I fear it won't be. I feel for Grant and Da'an and a few others who were so close to Preston and who looked up to him in a father figure type way. Those that know those guys should keep a watchful eye on them and their consumption in the coming months we don't want to loose more people, Preston would be crushed, he had such a love for all those guys and for all of the skateboarding audience and foremost his family. Great guy, his great laugh or chuckle during filming comes to mind over and over. I will miss Re_Brew episodes so much, Thrasher should compile them all onto hard copies, that would be a treasure and permanent memorial for him to be remembered.
RIP Preston
RIP

I was never a fan of P-stone's filming but his run and gun approach was respectable and people enjoyed it so as a fellow filmer my opinion doesn't really mean shit.
I feel some of the shit that went down when he was behind the camera should have been documented better. I'll catch heat but w/e.
On a positive note he was obviously a moral boost for everyone on said trip / filming mission. A person that can provoke people to produce is very beneficial. This whole situation is so fucked and will definitely shake up the industry.
I'm curious to see how this plays out with punishment / time served since CK's family is obviously well off. Isn't he a descendent of JFK?
CK puts off the vibe that he can do what ever he wants due to his skill / image. I.E. riding AntiHero boards blatantly in front of Rick and Mike.
Everyone here knows the code and this is concerning (you should respect your boss). It's rich kid behavior. IMHO he needs a taste of the real world, but we can't place blame until he goes to trial.
Below is a screen shot to verify.

Huge loss for skating. RIP P Stone. Skating has a drinking problem and it really needs addressed :(
Humanity has a substance problem. It's not like skating is any different than any other group of people.

Wow, this is so tragic. Condolences to pstones family, friends and the whole skateboard industry.
If these rumors are true, (remember guys, nothing is confirmed at this time) I can only imagine the agony Cory is in mentally and physically right now. This will be a pill that's almost impossible to swallow.
Rest In Peace to an amazing human.

Wonder if Ali will be reaching out. Not the greatest thing to bond over, but he is one of the only people that understands that position along with the scope/pressure the skate industry will have on the situation.

people are such fucking idiots. how many of us have driven intoxicated at least once in our lives? i think most people that drink have driven drunk. that doesn't make it right or okay but it's not like cory was trying to intentionally hurt his friend or put him in danger from the way it sounds. everyone brings up shane and ali so on that note, remember when they said shane was begging ali to let him jump on the back of that bike? well, what if p stone drank too much last night and asked cory to drive? you never know. it's not like he was in the car against his will, if anything it sounds like a night of drinking and laughing with the boys that took a wrong turn, a fatal one at that.. it's very sad with the kids and wife being involved and my heart and condolences go out to them heavily. nobody ever knows the real story behind these things besides the people involved yet everyone wants to point a finger at the guy who is probably already living in a literal world of shit (prison time and being the person at blame for one of your best friends death aren't exactly comforting feelings i'd imagine). and once again.. on the note of shane or keenan or anyone in the skate industry that went too young, those guys were in their 20s, they had the world ahead of them and hadn't really even peaked persay or accomplished all that they could... p stone had a wife and kids and was a dude in his mid 40s that everyone knew and loved. not saying it's any less tragic, i'm just saying in this death we should also give appreciation and thanks to the guy for being such a good human being and really giving something to this world, whether it be what he did with a grill or what he did behind a lens (even though everyone likes to bitch about that) he made his mark and we should salute him for that (or pour out a brew). i didn't know the guy but it's obvious he impacted the skate world and was a very likeable guy so i just thought i'd pay tribute. gonna go pour one out and then shotgun one for the master lensman, pstone.
rest in peach big dog.

I feel so bad for CORY, people will hate, but he accidentally killed one of his best friends, it will kill him inside for a long time if not forever. The spark he had in his eye may never comeback, look at Boulala he never got that light back. Cory will probably want to spend every day possible in that prison. I feel horrible for him. P Stone loved Cory and would be bummed at everyone hating on Cory. They were partying together and this tragedy happened. P Stone would want us all to support Cory through his horrible journey he will have to make.
In one recent Thrasher Cory said to Phelper something like "all my friends are dead or in jail" I know Cory was self medicating through lots of internal sadness just based of that quote.

I do not agree. His families lawyers will go to bat for him. CK1 is very privileged. This stunt will be a huge wake up call for him.
He's facing a minimum of 6 and 1/2 years, which maybe with good behavior gets him out in 2 and a 1/8th. Who knows what he can plead down to, but if his blood tested above the limit or for other substances, he's probably fucked. This will probably ruin his life and career. It is a fair consequence for his actions, but I don't think it's right to rag on him just because he grew up wealthy. People of all walks of life make this stupid mistake. Whether it is from a culture of entitlement, rooted in substance abuse issues probably isn't fair to speculate at this time. All 99% of this forum know about him are his interviews, footage and maybe a small interaction at a demo or something.
No matter how good his lawyers are, unless they find some loophole that will get blood evidence thrown out, he is probably fucked.

Prayers go to all families involved. I stopped drinking 4 years ago and every time I watch a video that has partying or drunk antics I just get bummed. I guess it's hard for me to let go of all the bad that came with drinking even though I no longer drink. This I can't even describe. Rest well Preston.

Keep getting sick every time I try to type. My best friend hung himself in jail two days after after something very similar. And now that I've got a young child, this all just breaks my heart. Painful doesn't come close

Agreed that Thrasher should put all the Bru Ray edits together as a DVD (as well as all the other videos P-Stone has done) and give all the proceeds to his family.

I am sure we will see a bunch of things done to help his family. The DVD is a great idea. I'd also fully expect an Anti-Hero board issue and a gofundme. Maybe do an auction with signed boards by his friends and auction them off or sell them. Jim T really is about helping people out, as seen by previous things he has done.
I hope his wife has a very strong support network. That will be needed in a time like this.

I was never a fan of P-stone's filming but his run and gun approach was respectable and people enjoyed it so as a fellow filmer my opinion doesn't really mean shit.
I feel some of the shit that went down when he was behind the camera should have been documented better. I'll catch heat but w/e.
On a positive note he was obviously a moral boost for everyone on said trip / filming mission. A person that can provoke people to produce is very beneficial. This whole situation is so fucked and will definitely shake up the industry.
I'm curious to see how this plays out with punishment / time served since CK's family is obviously well off. Isn't he a descendent of JFK?
CK puts off the vibe that he can do what ever he wants due to his skill / image. I.E. riding AntiHero boards blatantly in front of Rick and Mike.
Everyone here knows the code and this is concerning (you should respect your boss). It's rich kid behavior. IMHO he needs a taste of the real world, but we can't place blame until he goes to trial.
Below is a screen shot to verify.

Hardy the forum to criticise his filming.
RIP.
Cory's life will be in ruins. The whole thing's tragic, awful and FUCKED.
If you have anything constructive to add please share.
Well I wasn't exactly �shitting on you, just saying I don't think this is place. �It seems like you really want set him constructive though so here. Someone has just died. �Someone who brought great joy to many. Emphasise the positive .

Any family with money to blow is going to spend it to cover their ass. This is going to end up hairy.
That speaks to the imbalance of the United States judicial system in regards to how rich defendants are treated. Anybody with money would get the best defense team possible. But, that doesn't make Cory feel any less terrible or a reason to lack empathy for someone who made a terrible mistake. Whether he was rich or poor, he still is probably suicidal right now, and will need a lot of emotional and psychological support to get over this unless he is a sociopath.
His family's economic situation or the boards he chose to ride really make no difference to his current emotional state or whether he is worthy of empathy. He will most likely go to jail, which is a fair punishment for his actions. He may also be sued for his culpability in this, which is also a fair action to be taken by a woman who lost her husband with 2 kids to raise due to Cory's irresponsibility.
I had a friend who was well off and killed another one of our friends in a car accident due to reckless driving (no DUI though) and was charged with vehicular manslaughter. He was a minor and was able to plead out and avoid jail time. It has still left him with demons he is facing 12 years later and has caused him many other problems (substance abuse, etc) due to the guilt. Maybe seeing this happen first hand has given me more sympathy and understanding. But, Cory has a lot of shit on his plate, and while having good lawyers may help him, his life is permanently scarred.

This is horrible. Fuck. In January 2013 my cousin was killed because she was the passenger of a drunk and needlessly reckless driver who was into some racing shit, trying to show off for her, 125 mph on some winding KY back roads,etc.. they literally floated up into a fucking tree, she essentially vaporized, he became a quardraplegic, and is doing the prison thing.

I have zero tolerance towards drunk driving, it's a guarantee for something bad to happen. It's a chain of bad decisions that lead to this terrible accident. Whatever legal charges Cory is facing, he already got the ultimate punishment of losing his friend. I feel terrible for him.
Alcohol is a terrible poison.

Dane Barker absolutely didn't get kooked off Passport for not drinking. He chose to skate for Doom Sayers because he's tight with Omar and Passport was bummed but understood. Callum Paul, who is an absolute dropkick, made a stupid comment about Dane not fitting on an Aussie team anyway because he doesn't drink beer, probably completely in jest but mentioned by Dane in an interview and misunderstood, kicking off a bunch of shit talk.

well then, excuse me. as i said before.. i'm not making light of the situation or drunk driving. i'm only saying that it's something that i have regrettably done in the past. sometimes you just get stuck in that situation where you make a bad decision. it seems like that's what happened here. maybe these guys weren't even hammered? the legal limit is .08 it only takes maybe 3 drinks to blow over the limit. regardless if cory was hammered or if he was slightly buzzed, he gets the same sentence and the same amount of hate from the public. shit, a deer could have ran in the middle of his lane and made him swerve off the road, nobody saw the wreck or knows or has even spoken on it yet as far as we know? all we've heard is that a lady heard it from inside her house. and everyone may say it's irrelevant but once again, there's no one to blame. it's a bunch of friends having a night out drinking and having fun together and it ended tragically. it reminds us all and reopens our eyes to the danger in drunk driving and how horrible it can be. all i meant was people shouldn't be so hard on this dude for making a bad choice. it could have been the other way around. like i said, what if pstone was too drunk and told cory to drive? what if the situation was reverse and pstone had drove and wrecked and killed cory? what it comes down to is these dudes were homies and they made a choice to go out together and get drunk and let one of them drive home and the one they chose and trusted to drive ended up wrecking. it's the worst thing ever but it's all of their faults mutually if anything and not just one dudes fault for fucking up. it's just a tragic event all around. everyone hated ali forever until they saw the fucking epicly laterd and felt bad. well, learn from that and realize that accidents happen. it doesn't excuse it or make it okay, but he shouldn't be shamed for being involved in a group accident. he will already live the rest of his life in shame, guilt and sorrow. do you see a guy like cory kennedy doing very well in a federal state prison...? give him a break.

If you drink and drive then fucking quick drinking. There is no excuse to drink and drive. Leave your fucking car at home if you're going to drink. I'm 100% regular and out of control when I drink, but I don't go near a driver seat.

Are people on here really defending drinking and driving?
I don't think I've seen anyone actually defend it. Some have acknowledged making that mistake or feel most people have gotten in a car with a drunk driver, knowing that driver is drunk or impaired. A bunch of people are just saying that it is alright to feel bad for Cory, despite the fact he made a horrific decision with horrific consequences. Some people want to hate and vilify Cory for it, which is fine, but others understand the road ahead for Cory and have empathy for him. Not that the two viewpoints are mutually exclusive. One extremely stupid decision is going to define a significant portion of his life with huge implications costing him, his friends life, his freedom and probably his career.
P-Stone and his family obviously lost a hell of a lot more. He lost his life. His wife lost a husband and his kid's a father. People should go re-watch Ali's epicaly later'd. We should absolutely vilify Cory's and previously Ali's actions, but he did something that a significant portion of society has done once in their life, unfortunately for all involved, his had terrible ramifications. Hate the action, not the person.
Being rich may help him reduce his sentence if he isn't a previous offender. But, I don't think being from a rich ass white family takes away any of the guilt he will carry with him the rest of his life or the living hell the next couple of his years will most likely be like.

I got a DUI when I was 19, one of the worst experiences of my life..
-
Feel remorse for all involved.. fuck.. the specifics don't matter.
-
Mourn with those that mourn. They are all incredible human beings that deserves our unconditional love. Rest in peace P-Stone and get well soon CK!

Huge loss for skating. RIP P Stone. Skating has a drinking problem and it really needs addressed :(
Humanity has a substance problem. It's not like skating is any different than any other group of people.
I disagree. Not only are pro skaters in a perpetual state of adolescence, but the industry itself benefits off the party image.

This is a fucking tragic turn of events. Thoughts and prayers with the p stone family and cory�s too. This is a turning point for all of them and no going back. Fuck.

First, I can't understate my feelings for P stone's family.Also i loved him/his work etc..
I feel so bad for CORY, people will hate, but he accidentally killed one of his best friends, it will kill him inside for a long time if not forever. The spark he had in his eye may never comeback, look at Boulala he never got that light back. Cory will probably want to spend every day possible in that prison. I feel horrible for him. P Stone loved Cory and would be bummed at everyone hating on Cory. They were partying together and this tragedy happened. P Stone would want us all to support Cory through his horrible journey he will have to make.
In one recent Thrasher Cory said to Phelper something like "all my friends are dead or in jail" I know Cory was self medicating through lots of internal sadness just based of that quote.
I wish we could give P Stone back to his family and to all of skateboarding, but it can't be so. I wish we could give Cory back to skateboarding and back to his happy ways, but I fear it won't be. I feel for Grant and Da'an and a few others who were so close to Preston and who looked up to him in a father figure type way. Those that know those guys should keep a watchful eye on them and their consumption in the coming months we don't want to loose more people, Preston would be crushed, he had such a love for all those guys and for all of the skateboarding audience and foremost his family. Great guy, his great laugh or chuckle during filming comes to mind over and over. I will miss Re_Brew episodes so much, Thrasher should compile them all onto hard copies, that would be a treasure and permanent memorial for him to be remembered.
RIP Preston
RIP
I forgot about that. That was in the last issue. Such a dark heavy quote. Poor dude's probably feeling suicidal right now. Whole thing is so fucked.
He may have been quoting that Josh Prine song. Also I feel like that quote is in a famous movie as well.
-
I've walked away from a lot of questionable behavior without a scratch. I'm very fortunate. I wish that fortune for my kids. I wish that for all of you.
Tragically, it didn't happen for those involved here. Just awful. RIP P-Stone. Get better CK.
-
rewatched the boulala epicly later'd to try and make some sense of this. one of the reynolds quotes spoke to me:
"when everyone is drinking and blacking out, anyone could die at any point. it could have easily been him"
obviously anyone who makes it out on the other side of this is gonna have a really hard road...
-
Whenever a Bru-Ray video popped up on Thrasher or Youtube it would bring a smile to my face. I knew I was in for a few minutes of stoke and all that was because of P-Stone. I never got to meet the guy, but he brought joy and happiness to me whenever his videos popped up.
Thank you, P-Stone.
-
Even if you guys don't drink, pay attention when your driving. Driving is serious. If the conspiracy about the government holding back technology for citizens is true, I understand because we can barely handle having cars.
-
Dont drive drunk, it's that simple. RIP P-Stone.
Cory is a rich ass white dude with a rich ass white family so I doubt he will be in prison long. Its a struggle to be sympathetic to such foolishness when I know he's going to have it better than most people.
-
^You guys needa stop with that bullshit. Its shitty that he needs to, but good legal aid should always be used if one can afford it no matter what the situation is. You don't need to be sympathetic, but please think like an adult about the situation.
-
Are people on here really defending drinking and driving?
some shitheads on here were encouraging and defending Ali drinking cos he had just been through a lot and got out of jail. probably just a bunch of overweight slash dogs who scream "yip" at the local tranny spot and think a trick is better if there is bud heavy involved. Those are the people who claim "it's totally normal and hey we all do it". morons.
Despite all that I'd hope we can put our pitchforks away (most have) CK1 is probably close suicidal right now and that is not something i'd put on on my worst enemy.
-
A young guys ruins his life, and a man with a family is gone.
I haven't posted in ages - but my friend just told me he saw some shit on instagram, and here I am coming back to Slap to find out what happened.
P Stone answered one of my questions once when we did a Q&A on Slap here, it was about how long he went without taking a shower on roap trips I think.
Skateboarding is funny like that, you've seen these guys in print/photo/media for ages and you feel connected to them. Guys like P-Stone were a rare breed - you could see how he loved skateboarding and was loyal to his friends and family. He wasn't afraid to get dirty, work hard and make a great product we all could enjoy - shit like that will always be worth something to me. Guy could fashion a grill out of basically anything too...just a resourceful cool dude.
RIP to an original. Sad Day man...

condolences to his family and friends.� so sorry to hear this
this is the appropriate response. there really is not much more to say other than sharing some memories and good thoughts. whoever had that DVD idea good call. the amount of misinformation on cory's current situation is appalling. let the cards play out before calling the hand.

RIP P-Stone. I loved your videos.
I think I'm done with drinking for good now. This is just too heavy.

Maybe Boulalala will contact Corey and kind of help guide him through this. I can never imagine being responsible for the death of a friend due to my mistake. I'll admit to drinking and driving, I'll admit it's not a good idea, but shitting on a man who just lost everything is not the right thing at this time. We've all seen Corey's antics and just thought they were funny but looking back and realizing we werent watching a guy have carefree fun but actually self destructing is sobering. Talk to your friends about their substance abuse issues. Condolences to P-Stone and to what could have been an all-time great career
-

To be fair, I am under the assumption that Cory Kennedy will get a slap on the wrist due to his perfect storm of all things that will usually get you off in court (Trust fund rich, white, athlete, has a fanbase, first time offender). To think about his consequences as if this could happen to us or our friends is a bit of a stretch. But I dont really know the situation, im just bummed about it.
I also see hypocrisy with being so sympayhetic to him when our society blames victims for far less shady shit. Even within the skateboarding community we were quick to shit on Mikemo when all he did was fuck his ankle up (and we later find out he wasnt even drunk). I dont know man the whole thing is fucked...
But again RIP P-Stone.
-
P Stone was very nice and gracious and he will be missed
Don't drink and drive. Ever. It's not worth it. No one is 'good' at it. Just don't do it. How many times does someone have to die for the lesson to sink in? We have cabs, Uber, Lyft, there is no reason to drink and drive
This right here guys. I've driven drunk and ridden with drunk drivers in the past and its not something I'm proud of, but we now live in an age where drinking and driving is so easily avoidable that there's absolutely no excuse. Some of us, myself included, have been very lucky that nothing like this has happened in our lives. Don't let it happen.
That being said, I don't want to pass judgement on anyone, but this is one of the saddest things you can see when you first open up slap. RIP P-Stone.
-
My condolences go out to his friends and family during this tragic time. I don't have any experience with him personally, or much insight into his personality other than the occasional video edits online. There was definitely a different vibe to those videos he was a part of and that must speak to his character to some degree. The news has obviously hit the industry hard, and I'm proud to be part of a community that mourns together in times like this.

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.

I just want people to realize, especially the younger ones that driving is serous and needs to be respected. Treat someone who drives recklessly sober and speeds dangerously sober the same as a person who just drank 12 beers. Tell them to stop, if you feel you need to, get out and get a uber home. Lifes to precious to be fucking around like that.
The shit P stone captured molded my mind into what skateboarding meant to me ever since I seen beers bowls and barneys as a youth, super grateful for what he did.

Well said Bawtawd.
This is a pretty heavy and overall devastating situation all around. My deepest sympathies to those lucky enough to have known Preston, and those whose lives he no doubt touched whether it be directly or indirectly.
It's incredibly unfortunate that things come to this of course, but I hope it's a bit of a wake-up call for those who sometimes seem to think their actions can go without consequence. Not a dig at anyone or Cory directly by any means, more of just a general notion.

Probably the most God-awful skate family news to wake up to. Cory's life is changed forever and P-Stone is gone.
And most of us have been there, "the soberest drunk of the bunch drives" everyone gets in, and sometimes the Reaper
does too. Tragic loss for skateboarding and condolences to the families involved.

No. I bet more people in the US have drove home drunk as in above the legal limit than haven't. Unless you live in a part of the country where people don't drive as much. Of course you could probably never get an honest statistic on that. Nobody's saying drinking and driving is okay. People are just putting there self in someone elses shoes. You know, being empathetic.

Never personally knew the guy, but everything he brought to the table was gold. Good person, good grilling, and good videos. I was actually watching one of the Bru-ray videos on my phone, then opened instagram to find the Thrasher post. So unreal that life changing events like this can happen so quick without notice.
Anyone who is talking badly about this situation is posting without thinking. This is a terrible, terrible tragedy... But speaking of it with any bit of negativity is just plain stupid. Let the courts handle Cory because that's their job. Our job is to remember and praise a dude who loved skateboarding.

Fair enough. Not to belabor the point "but at least here in WA", it's pretty easy to knock back a couple 7%+ craft brews and a bowl, feel great, appear normal, but be over the .08% limit and technically drunk. But this isn't the thread for finger pointing and one of my favorite clips of the zillion things I've watched in Skateboarding is P-Stone's blunt battle in the pool for a keg of PBR. RIP in Peace and by that I mean rip.

terrible day all around. like people said previously, yes ck1 made a mistake, but treat him as if it was your sibling that was in his shoes. Preston was the essence of skating, food, camping and having a good time. never met the guy, but I could watch pstone edits all day long. I've been wanting to put the bottle down for good as of recent, this might just be what helps.

Yes being empathetic is when you put your self in somebody elses shoes. I'm not crucifying anybody unless they murder someone. As somebody above quoted. When everybody is blacking out anybody can die. It's tragic on all fronts. Drinking and driving is fucking stupid and there is no excuse for it these days with Uber, Lyft and just having a cell phone period. He 100% needs to face what ever punishment the legal system throws his way and he's never going to be the same person again. He's probably suicidal right now and will live with these demons every time he looks at any of his friends. As I said earlier, how would you feel if it was your brother, sister, or best friend. You should be mad, but you shouldn't condemn them.

Fuck! Jesus. This literally doesn't get better. I just got married this past summer. What a fucking bummer to literally have this happen months before your wedding. I feel super bad for their family.
And the whole CK1 thing....the guilt he's experiencing is enough rather than having others tarnish his name. I've been in a car accident with my girlfriend and she got taken away on a stretcher and it's a fucking terrible feeling to see that. Thankfully she only had some whiplash but I can only imagine if she got even more hurt. This is a total traumatizing experience that will literally change Cory's life forever. Being rich and getting through the courts doesn't take that away from him. I am even sure he feels the jail time is deserving.

I had a few beers last night, was a bit stoned and figured I'd check slap just before heading off to sleep.
I saw this thread and it didn't register at all, I kept looking through for the post that would say it was just a bad mistake... Today it doesn't make any more sense. R.I.P. P-Stone. So sad to hear about this. Thanks for catching a zillion rad moments on film for the rest of us. And I hope Cory is able to keep in mind that his friend wouldn't want him to spend the rest of his life hating himself. That's no way to honor a friend.

It's pretty jacked to place any blame on CK. I lost 4 friends in a drunk driving accident last year. 2 of them were lifelong homies. If the girl driving would have lived we'd of never made her feel guilty about it. The fucked up thing is I was supposed to be in the car with them. My homie showed up about 10 min before we were leaving and wanted to go skate so I chose that over floating the river with them. So in a way skateboarding actually saved my life. I hope CK is able to find away to live with it. And RIP to PStone. Dude seemed like one of the coolest

You're also neglecting the fact that Antuan is a notorious alcoholic and has been a repeat offender how many times? Hasn't he been to jail 5 times? Antuans a bad example to use if you want to bring up the race card. I 100% get your point, but You just chose the wrong person for your example.

Bruh, isn't that why people are mad at Cory Kennedy?
The only people mad at Cory is people that have a childs mind. Twuan crimes had intent to cause harm, Corys was an accident. This comparison is completly stupid though anyway. You guys that want Cory to burn because of his race and financial situation are complete idiots, and I'm sure the ones that are saying these things are the ones that say they hate racism the most too. Get outta here with that bullshit state of mind.

This is all pretty crazy especially after cory's crail couch where he talked about bailing raven outta jail for a dui and saying that he was partially to blame.

Ah Man this is terrible. Love to everyone effected by this tragedy.
i feel like the skate scene and lifestyle is gonna be impacted by this. P-stone is a role model. he lived a lifestyle that is skateboarding. he showed lot of people how to be and whats important in a skaters life. friends, family, travels, community, food. he was an example of a lifelong commitment to skateboarding with out being a huge asshole or cocky pick. i feel bad for the 18/bobs/potrero crews. who do they have to look up to now, andy roy? and who is gonna film the 18 dudes now. Nobody is gonna be able to fill his shoes and roll with that crew the way he did. you cant just show up and film those dudes and what they do. they wont just let you in the clubhouse. you gotta be in the crew before you can bust out your camera at Bobs. 18 dudes are gonna get less coverage and appear less in skate media with no Pstone filming them. Today i gonna constantly have a beer in hand, and ill film some shit long lens in honor of P-Stone!

Horrible news, nobody wins.
RIP and best of luck to P-Stones family. I got two kids and raising them alone wouldnt be easy, and they wont have a dad.

Check my comments, I dont want him to burn because his money or race (black skaters hating white people is like being an otaku that hates asians btw). I think the combination in addition to being a popular athlete will help him in court. I also think the idea of believing an alleged drunk driver commiting vehicular manslaughter is somehow beyond criticism is plain regular.
I think the antwuan comparison is a bit weak myself tbh, but I get whar he was saying.

I hope there's a grill in heaven. RIP Preston... FUCK! One of my favorite personalities.. such a positive ball of energy. Again, the specifics shouldn't matter to us.. leave all that crap up to the judge.. pray for CK, Preston and their families.
Also, this 'rich white boy' shit needs to stop, we lost a legend, Cory's background shouldn't be questioned by strangers, that's an immature, inappropriate angle.. don't be as toxic as people claim SLAP tends to be...

If you're saying "I get it, but antwon is a bad example," you really don't get it.
Insta has been flooded, as it should be, but every time I see that family pic with the 2 kids I get angry. It takes any sympathy I had for Cory and throws it out the window. Those kids lost their father. Yea, Cory is fucked, and might have a hard time dealing with what happened, etc, etc, but that family was just destroyed and those kids were robbed of their father. How do explain to a toddler that their father is dead?
edit; I know it was an accident, and nobody held a gun to anyones head to ride in that car, but it still evokes anger because this was all preventable.

IDK but it doesn't feel right discussing it right now. I'm not saying I disagree with you because I don't condemn antwuan for his shit at all. But I think even us arguing, me included, about all of this dui shit is stupid right now. This should just be about remembering P-Stone and all of his greatness.

We've lost so many precious people back to back all too soon.
Only can look to better days and keep striving.
P-Stone left a legendary mark.
Rest easy P-Stone.
Keep your head up Cory.

Fly high P-Stone. My thoughts are with his family and friends, especially his wife and kids.
I hate that it takes an accident like this for some people to realize that you should never, ever get behind the wheel of a vehicle when you have been drinking. It's all fun and hijinks until someone ends up dead or seriously injured.
If you're saying "I get it, but antwon is a bad example," you really don't get it.

CKs not really anymore of a 'rich kid' than anyone else in his area. His house is worth more than his folks. He's an adult so his parents will not be involved with this financially, and they would be smart to avoid helping him out. It will just be a money black hole. He will likely have to sell his house to pay for the initial legal bills, go to jail for 2-6 years, then spend the rest of his life having his wages garnished to pay for the rest of the legal bills. Don't drink and drive.
-
I'm a drunk degenerate, not an alcoholic, but I love my drinks and can keep it under control.
The fact is this, and I don't intend to demonize CK, but it's been apparent he's needed to fix his shit for some time now. It's a shame that didn't happen before someone else was dragged into his downfall.
A shame for a loss of life, A shame for a family without a father and a husband, a shame for skateboarding for one of it's greatest talents being forever damaged.
-
Of course the industry is looking away as usual. Nike should have forced this guy into rehab years ago instead of marketing his alcohol fueled antics.�
not sure nike or anyone else could've done anything to change him but he's been a gigantic pile for years now and it was clearly going nowhere good.
skateboarding really could lay off the kegger vibes overall.

Seeing an orchestrated tour video where people let loose and have no responsibilities is far from the reality of their everyday lives.
you're seeing a glimpse into his world. Cory lives a quiet life on a small island, he's done a lot for the community on the island and helped with the small skatepark they have.
I understand that they put themselves on display and we think we really know their mannerisms, but we don't.
Yes he parties, and probably went over board on multiple occasions publicly and maybe made a bad decision, but all that being said we really have no idea exactly what happened and shouldn't jump to the worst possible scenario immediately.

Exactly. ? Fuck bringing personal politics into this to hijack what SHOULD be a thread that's about a real fucking tragedy, not "What's wrong with America in 2017". ? Seriously, not everything has to be a personal soapbox to gripe about unrelated shit. ? It's almost as if some people here can't go a single day without bitching about the dumbest shit any chance they can.
RIP to P-Stone, sorry that CK will be forever screwed by this accident (that could, of course, have been prevented with better judgment, but that's neither here nor there at this pint), and fuck off to anything else being talked about that has nothing to do with this.
-
Man this is fucking awful. The Bru Ray segments are probably the best on the entire Thrasher site. Really bummed on Cory too because I love his skating. God. This is gonna be another Shane cross ordeal. Deepest condolences out to P-Stone's family. Nobody deserves this.
-
This is all horrible. Thoughts go out to P-Stone's family. I loved the fact he left reactions, laughter, and commentary into the Bru Ray edits. I also loved the Beauty and the Beast tour footage and his friendly ribbing of O'Dell. I can't imagine the guilt that Cory must be going through. I think back to all of the times in my life where I've gotten in the car with a drunk driver and how awry the situation could've gone.
I will add this too... When I was 25, I got accepted to a music school that had long been on my radar. A band that I was formerly involved with was also playing their last local show. Between the acceptance letter, and the good hang with friends I'd spent the last 5 years of my life touring with, I went overboard with the celebratory drinking. A car had parked extremely close to my passenger side, and when I was leaving I backed out and clipped it turning out of my spot. Being in the heart of downtown in a college town, before I got my car into drive, there was a flashlight shining through my driver side window. I got an OWI (Operating While Intoxicated here in Michigan), spent the night in jail, and paid around 4K (savings for the move out east for school) in lawyer fees and court costs.
I'm so fortunate that I didn't get any farther than that or injure/kill someone, and it definitely scared me straight as far as getting behind the wheel with any semblance of a buzz. I'm so grateful that no one was hurt or dead as a result of my own stupidity. Obviously Cory wouldn't have done that if he knew what would transpire. Drunk driving is the worst thing you can do short of blatantly murdering or raping someone.
-
Sad situation, and Cory convicted already in a lot of eyes, wow

I'm right there with you man. Two DUIs both me hitting parked cars (nice parked cars too for some reason. A brand new dodge Charger and some russian guys BMW that was his baby) blowing .24 I finally learned my lesson after the second one. I think I was to young on the first one for it to really sink in. I'm just soooo soooo lucky I hit empty cars with nobody as my passenger and I only harmed myself.

Seeing that pic with his kids and knowing he was about to get married is truly heartbreaking. I have multiple people in my life who lost parents at a young age. Cory does have a long road ahead, and I can still feel empathy for him as someone who's made my own mistakes,
but it's nothing compared to what those boys have to live through. I can only imagine that someone with such a huge heart and personality like Preston must have been like a superhero to his boys.
I do hope the industry will do some soul-searching around substance abuse and how it's promoted/dealt with. Buuut I also know who buys the most skateboards and I know what I was about between the ages of 13-21. I guess I just hope conscience prevails for some heads.
Rest In Peace Preston!!! condolences to his family and friends. Hope everything works out for Cory.
Life is short, go skate today for these two and everyone who got their trip cut short!

update on the news article..
so sad
http://www.vashonbeachcomber.com/news/one-dead-one-injured-after-suspected-dui-crash-wednesday-night/ (http://www.vashonbeachcomber.com/news/one-dead-one-injured-after-suspected-dui-crash-wednesday-night/)
I think this article puts a good perspective on the whole issue. These were two good people who were involved in this accident. One happened to be behind the wheel and one was in the passenger seat. Judging by every tribute and post about P-Stone (which might be a little tacky timing wise) he likes to drink and have a good time with the people he's with. Unfortunately one of those moments ended as horribly as possible. I think it's safe to assume Cory (and let's be honest, it could have been anyone) had no malicious intent and everyone in the car has a sliver of complicity in being in that car after a day spent drinking and skating. The real tragedy would have been if their car caused an accident to another car or innocent bystander and hurt them.
There are lives that will be forever changed because we forget something like this can happen to anyone. It doesn't matter race, wealth, sponsors, or any of that. Reynolds' Piss Drunx days ended after he almost died hitting a tree while driving drunk IIRC and there are so many other instance where the worst can happen and it doesn't. Substance abuse should be acknowledged and confronted before it becomes something that just "affects your skating" and skaters who have gone sober should be a little more outspoken about the dangers and not take the Ellington stance of acknowledging it but not wanting to tell anyone how to live their lives (he has said this in past interviews, not sure if this is still his own stance).
I get that Cory is an obvious target of blame because people need to point fingers but I don't think he was some alcoholic wild child pulling a Vince Neil here
-
I don't think anyone should vilify Cory as I hope none of you know what it's like to endanger someone and/or kill them. No amount of weed or therapy will rid someone of the guilt of ending someone's life when you truly cared about them. It's a fucked up scenario and we need to acknowledge that the Baker2G lifestyle doesn't fucking fly anymore. Put Uber on your fucking homescreen and make sure you have a linked card before you go out. Know your limits. Please.
And stop saying that because he is rich everything's gonna work out for him. It just makes you look like superficial assholes.

P-Stone seemed to embody everything skateboarding is all about, and will be deadly missed. It would be rad if Thrasher put out a tribute photo annual if just his stuff. I'm sure he'll be forever listed in the opening page with the other lost heroes.

Thank you. Well said. Like I said earlier. Ive had my DUIs while I crashed and thank god nobody was hurt. I know if I had hurt anybody I would probably have killed myself. Do not condemn anyone for their actions unless it was cold blooded rape or murder. He made a mistake (It wasn't an accident he made the choice to drive, it was a mistake) millions of us have made but he just so happened to have a passenger with him and his family paid the ultimate price. It's seriously so fucking sad. and I'm drunk as fuck right now because of it. I'm not blaming my own problems on this situation but it definitely triggered me. I don't believe in god but let the universe please look after P-Stones family and Cory's family. I've never had a death of somebody I don't know effect me so bad. Probably part of growing up.

Drinking and driving has destroyed so many lives it's fucked. My childhood neighbor lost his legs to it, my friend lost his brother to it, almost lost my father to it when I was 8 years old.... This shit will keep on goin' as long as cars are manually driven.
Can't blame anyone in this incident. I can't count the amount of times I've sat shotgun next to a drunk driver while being the obnoxious co-pilot putting music on blast and offering everyone in the car some more brews.

Any seasoned drunk knows five is too many. Obviously his tolerance didn't increase as he just wrecked and killed a guy.
Dude shouldn't be drinking away from home at all on that island, there's no cabs or Uber out there.

Apparently the crash was right around the corner from Cory's house. Weird that he wouldn't recognize that sharp turn. Especially at 0.11. They also must have been hauling ass. I looked at the maps at the road from the article. He probably made that corner 1000 or more times.
Distracted driving was probably a major contributor here.

dude wtf are you talking about 5 is nothing any SEASONED drunk wakes up a drinks 5 before driving to work to stop withdrawals and then a pint or more on the way home. tolerance has nothing to do with this, we dont know any of the circumstances this very well could have happened the same way with zero alcohol involved like dude said distraction was prob a bigger part than actual intoxication

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.

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.

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

What a sad state of affairs. There's no villains here. Only victims.
I feel genuinely gutted for everyone involved.

I disagree. You get behind the wheel intoxicated you ARE at fault

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.
-
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.
Who the fuck are you and where is the real Bawtawd?
-
fuck
-
Intoxicated or not, if you kill someone behind the wheel your at fault and the one to blame. We all know this. No ones defending drunk driving.

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.
-
There's no debate since we'll never know the true story.
Appreciate life.

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.

man. Looking at all of these photos. He really enjoyed live to the fullest. Never got the chance to meet him but from what I have heard, he was the greatest to be around.

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 (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.
Shred on playboy. Too many cool people dying these days.

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.
-
RIP P Stone. nothing else needs to be said right now.

He seemed like he lived multiple lifetimes in his one life. He was more seasoned than some veteran pros. Not a lot of people get to leave as big of a legacy and as large of an impact on skating as he will. It's a real shame that skateboarding lost another legend

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 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.

Sorry if this has already been posted but the Vashon newspaper's story was updated again last night. It quotes multiple Vashon Islanders who describes Cory as a super humble guy who was involved in the local skate scene: http://www.vashonbeachcomber.com/news/one-dead-one-injured-after-suspected-dui-crash-wednesday-night/ (http://www.vashonbeachcomber.com/news/one-dead-one-injured-after-suspected-dui-crash-wednesday-night/)
She said Kennedy has always seemed happy to hang out and goof around with the kids.
?He was just always really accessible to the kids. It was never, ?I am too cool for you,?? she said. ?He was a happy go lucky guy, like a big kid himself. He is a pro skateboarder, so surprise, surprise.?
She recalled that during one really hot day in the summer of 2015, Kennedy went to Raab?s Lagoon with several island families to swim and cool off. That was the first day he started to talking about moving to Vashon. She said news of the crash and the grieving process is surreal in part because of how well known Kennedy is in the skating world, but not not known to many islanders.
...
Marc Brown, an island father of two teenage boys who skate at BARC regularly, said Kennedy has been?just really nice and really giving? and would often hang out and skate with the teens. He would bring extra shoes from his Nike sponsorship down to the bowl and give them to Brown?s son Matt, who has the same size feet as Kennedy.
?It was jaw-dropping for my kids because here?s this pro skater that they see in magazines and videos hanging out at the skate park and skating with them,? he said. ?He was involved with the kids. He wasn?t this standoff pro athlete doing his own thing. He skated with them. There was no attitude to the kid.?

Pretty much sums up up my point. And 2 beer (which can be altered by numerous factors) will take at least 2 hours to be clear of the system

0 limit is so stupid and impractical, sorry... these guys were way, way over that.
when thinking about limits and saying just take a cab or uber you are forgetting that that is only a city thing. in rural areas moderation is often the only choice. most people are perfectly capable of driving safe within the legal limits which is why they were set a those levels.

Someone drunk drove into my parents' living room, which was right next to my bedroom, while I was sleeping. They got away with it because, despite having a very unique tree from their yard stuck in the front of the fucking car, they couldn't pursue DUI charges because the car backed out and parked at their house two doors down before the cops arrived.

According to the Seattle Times he was released on Friday on personal recognizance and he has not been charged. Is that common in the US, is it good news in legal terms?
PR bond is the same as being released on bail but without having to actually pay bail. It doesn't make a difference in whether he will get charged or not. He likely got a PR bond because this is his first major offense and the judge is confident that he isn't going to skip town. It happens all the time here in the U.S.; I see it mostly with people who committed very minor first offenses and can't afford bail. I've also seen people with gun and drug charges get it as well; it really boils down to the individual circumstances of the case and how the judge is feeling that day.
-
PR bond isn't too common where I live, sheeeyit. People who get it though are usually dealt with less harshly. He lives on a small island too and is a pretty big community figure, so hes got a lot of good stuff going for him so far.
Thrasher got a lot stories about P stone on their site. Sounds like he was one of the best dudes ever.

Yeah, all of the local articles are full of praise for him. The original article has been updated and almost has more praise for Cory and his contribution to the community than information about the actual incident. Seems like everyone there is getting behind him.

Finally finished reading this all, so fucking sad, bur-rays were my personal favourite on thrasher i still watch them often. RIP P-stone condolences to his family and for what cory has to go through the rest of his life.

The news article says .10-.11 meaning there is some wiggle room in whatever measuring device they used.
I won't argue that he wasn't impaired but it may have been only a hair over the old legal standard so it's not as though he was falling down drunk.
It sounds like speed was a factor and although the article didn't specify what kind of Audi it was, this wouldn't be the first time somebody lost control of some kind of sporty eurocar.
Everything about this is just so sad.

No. They test you several times at different intervals and take a medium. They test to see if you're going up or down depending on when you had you last drink.

One of the most recent articles posted on here mentioned that he was the only one not wearing a seatbelt in the car, which was going too fast, and hit a tree on the side he was sitting on. I know that gets into the icky territory of victim blaming, but things happened and the worst possible result occurred

things look different a couple days later. by the time they did the blood test (what they count for actual offense?) he likely dropped even lower than the already low .1-.11% alcohol factor now way down. the outstanding reasons for the fatality being an accident and no seat belt which is...
i feel more bad for ck as this progresses.

That really depends on when they stopped drinking. Alcohol tends to take 50 minutes to 3 hours to be absorbed. So it could just as easily rise. Either way, it is a terrible situation.

Apparently the crash was right around the corner from Cory's house. Weird that he wouldn't recognize that sharp turn. Especially at 0.11. They also must have been hauling ass. I looked at the maps at the road from the article. He probably made that corner 1000 or more times.
Distracted driving was probably a major contributor here.
Most accidents happen within five miles of the home. People get too comfortable.
-
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.
Sorry, but when were they cashing in on his 'piling out' image? Because I've never seen any of that

I've been thinking about this quite a lot, there's a million variables we don't know, could've just accidentally came off the side of the rode and lost control, could've been a blow out, could've been a car malfunction, the thing that sucks is cuz he was drinking all of those will be thrown out the window and it's gonna be cuz he was drunk driving in a court of law. So I was talking to a friend about the .11, a friend who ruined a part of his life cuz of drunk driving, and he said the .11 really doesn't mean anything cuz of an accident like that he probably didn't blow in a breathlizer till he was at the hospital, so all we can ascertain is that he was legally drunk, his level may have been much higher at the time of the accident. Regardless everything is fucked, and Cory will be persecuted for his party boy lifestyle. We should all think like adults here and just understand multiple lives were ruined and bethankful that no one else that just happened to be around got hurt. Think if the situation was reversed we'd all be condemning P Stone for killing Cory Kennedy cuz his party lifestyle was out there also.

It says they also took his blood which is way more accurate so they'll probably use that in court

I read all of those and I envy a person who is able to touch so many people so deeply.
One time I was stoned and looking at a book about Bruce Lee while listening to Jimi Hendrix and I thought, "Maybe those guys just figured out life so superlatively that they were whisked away to the next level?"
I'm not a religious or spiritual person but I'd like to think that was the case with P-Stone, too.

Yeah this is bullshit. A lot of people seem to be clinging to the idea of Cory pulling a Vince Neil as a way to let their own grudges against him fly. It's particularly weird esp in light of P-Stone's image with drinking seen in a positive light before and after this horrible accident.

as someone who has been through it, i once blew a breathalyzer level of .13 like four hours after i drank 1 tall can of malt liquour. i wasnt driving crazy, i literally took a girl and had sex with her behind a supermarket in my car, and the cops thought we were trying to rob the market. i was arrested and refused to take a second breathalyzer test instead got a blood test. after 1 night in jail and months of just constant worrying before my court date, it turned out my blood contained 0.0% alcohol level, and my case was thrown out. breathalyzers are bullshit.
-
Bru-ray was and is my favorite Thrasher segment...
Rest in peace to a fellow skateboarder.
:(

This whole thing is so sad. I saw a photo of him with his wife and two kids and they were such a beautiful family. I started to cry a tiny bit, and I've never even known him. I think a lot of it just has to do with how good of a person he was. He touched so many lives it's incalculable. P-Stone is just one of those types of people that are so rare and help us realize we all have the potential to spread good vibes into the world by the way we socialize and look out for one another...if only we tried harder. The world will never be able to replace P-Stone but we can learn to let his energy live through us.

Going to miss P-stone yelling in the back of video clips

A .10 really isn't much. Even if you assume it was a little higher... from the time of the accident to the time he actually got his blood taken. That's why lawyers prefer a blood test, gives a short amount of time to come down a couple tenths

First, I can't understate my feelings for P stone's family.Also i loved him/his work etc..
I feel so bad for CORY, people will hate, but he accidentally killed one of his best friends, it will kill him inside for a long time if not forever. The spark he had in his eye may never comeback, look at Boulala he never got that light back. Cory will probably want to spend every day possible in that prison. I feel horrible for him. P Stone loved Cory and would be bummed at everyone hating on Cory. They were partying together and this tragedy happened. P Stone would want us all to support Cory through his horrible journey he will have to make.
In one recent Thrasher Cory said to Phelper something like "all my friends are dead or in jail" I know Cory was self medicating through lots of internal sadness just based of that quote.
I wish we could give P Stone back to his family and to all of skateboarding, but it can't be so. I wish we could give Cory back to skateboarding and back to his happy ways, but I fear it won't be. I feel for Grant and Da'an and a few others who were so close to Preston and who looked up to him in a father figure type way. Those that know those guys should keep a watchful eye on them and their consumption in the coming months we don't want to loose more people, Preston would be crushed, he had such a love for all those guys and for all of the skateboarding audience and foremost his family. Great guy, his great laugh or chuckle during filming comes to mind over and over. I will miss Re_Brew episodes so much, Thrasher should compile them all onto hard copies, that would be a treasure and permanent memorial for him to be remembered.
RIP Preston
RIP
I forgot about that. That was in the last issue. Such a dark heavy quote. Poor dude's probably feeling suicidal right now. Whole thing is so fucked.
He may have been quoting that Josh Prine song. Also I feel like that quote is in a famous movie as well.
The quote in the mag actually reads ''every one of his friends is either dead or in fucking rehab''

I mean, Nike showed him having a good time, but I don't think he was ever piling out. He may not have been as tech as he was in his early days but he was still pumping out footage. Nike's kept Gino on for years who has been to jail for multiple DUI's.
He made a terrible decision with horrifying consequences. It cost him at a minimum one of his best friends. Just feel bad for what happened, its fucking horrible. Let's not start blaming people for enabling him and such. Respect to Girl for staying they will stand behind him, I doubt Nike will.

0 limit is so stupid and impractical, sorry... these guys were way, way over that.
when thinking about limits and saying just take a cab or uber you are forgetting that that is only a city thing. in rural areas moderation is often the only choice. most people are perfectly capable of driving safe within the legal limits which is why they were set a those levels.
bullshit! any alcohol in you, do not drive. no ifs or buts. I live 1 hour away from the nearest city, if im drinkin I aint driving and vice versa. I dont want to kill anyone.
I truly hope you do not have a drivers license. you sound like a liability

you don't need alcohol to drive like a reckless idiot.

True , I fell a sleep during the day behind the wheel and had a terrible accident (without alcohol).
Point of the story drunk or not you are always a danger when you are in a car, so be always careful
-
All you retards who think you can drive with a .1 should fucking burn your license and never go near anything with wheels including a skateboard.
Here is a list of things that are impaird with a BAC of .1:
- Awareness
- Being able to make decisions
- Coordination
- Concentration
- Reflexes
- Though process
- Depth perception
- Distance assessment
- Sexual performance
In other words, a .1 is fucking wasted. It's basically my BAC at 1am on a Sunday.

I mean I agree with you that you shouldn't drive at .1 but a .1 is not fucking wasted. Unless your somebody that never drinks .15 would probably be closer to where a normal person that drinks occasionally would be wasted. That's why when you go past .15 in Washington it becomes a worse level of DUI. Now a piece of shit like me isn't wasted until .2 or so.

human chemistry isn't that cut and dry. a grown man who's been drinking his whole life is going to have a differ experience than a younger kid. a lot of times it's also not just alcohol that's at play, being .1 and faded and took some pills is a whole lot different than drank some beers and watched the game. also factors like if you ate and many others can affect it. they've set the limit intentionally low enough account for the worst case. really some people can handle it, some people cant. it's like what jim jefferies said in his gun rant. the laws are written to the lowest common denominator.

Alcohol is a weird CNS depressant, slows brain activity but can make you more hyper and shit, bad combo for driving. I personally don't think the alcohol was the biggest factor in the crash, but were gonna have to wait and see what cory says, if he even chooses to speak publicly about it.
Almost all laws exist for human preservation, if you want the best chances to live, obey all the laws.

I'm just as guilty as anyone, but maybe we ought to stop bickering about blood alcohol content, who should shoulder the blame, etc. By all accounts it was an extremely good man that died, and someone a massive part of whatever skateboarding community there is. Let's not be stereotypical Slap for a bit eh? Raise one up for P-Stone, be it a beer or a glass of water, and say farewell to one of the good ones. Legends never die!

The way I interpreted it is that it is the skate industry reaping what they have sown with the way they promote the party lifestyle?

Something I always think about when watching tour videos or KOTR is how fucking lame it is to have booze in the van. I'm sure a multitude of people will disagree with me, but I feel like passengers drinking in the van is just a straight up bad call, even if the driver is stone sober...it still sends out a mixed message, I think. Same shit with all of the alcohol-related challenges in KOTR.
I dunno, call me a Debbie Downer for all I care, this shit is just a bummer and alcohol is a wretched substance for those who cannot moderate themselves, which seems to be a lot of skaters.

The way your comment reads, you sound a little proud of your DUI and drug-induced crash. It's not a badge of honour, it's not an exclusive club, and you probably would have benefited from heeding the warnings of someone who would never find themselves in your situation.

0 limit is so stupid and impractical
well actually no it isn't, I live a country with a 0 limit and guess what? there's less instances of drunk driving across the board. this zero tolerance can actually affect your job here too so (the majority of) people understand that it's a stupid thing to do for a number of reasons. I used to live in a pretty rural area and the locals ran these taxi businesses where two of them would come and one would drive your car home so you can drive to the pub, drink, catch a cab home and still have your car parked in your driveway in the morning.

big dog in chestnut hill http://youtu.be/Pfo3rp_rX5Y?t=4m12s
the dude had so much knowledge, wisdom and experience about life. so thrifty and resourceful, a clever guy. I remember the slap interview where he said he graduated from Boston College with a bachelors in Econ. I cant wait to see a good edit of his best moments.
P-Stone inspired me and probably most of us to be a better person, more caring, more generous, and to embrace the spontaneity and excitement that is skateboarding. he showed what being down for the cause was really like, living that out in the day-to-day moments.
although i never met him, i will fucking miss this man's energy and charisma and what he brought to skateboarding. let all of us carry on what we loved best about him. i'm working on my grill game, for one.

Read that P-Stone and his family had just finished moving to Vashon (possibly Cory's house). Poor family, to have to deal with his death on top of having to live there...

Some Boulala/Shane level sadness right here...
So sad for the family and people that are left behind.
Sure, this is hard on Cory as well.
But crawling behind the wheel knowing that you're intoxicated?
There's no excuse good enough to try and justify that...

Crawling, really? Even if he was, can you imagine being in a situation like this, and feeling the driver has any sort of responsibility for what happens to you? I can't. I took that ride. (Not talking legally here, of course.)

Probably, but it is what they've labeled it. The reason it is probably labeled homicide and not manslaughter is that another criminal act was involved. Whereas vehicular manslaughter may be if it was caused by reckless driving infractions, but not an actual criminal offense. It's quite excessive and hopefully, he has good enough lawyers that it can be pleaded down to something with minimal jail time.
It's a very punitive punishment, but it is meant as a deterrent more than an adequate punishment. The big thing is, the law doesn't judge the difference between killing your own passenger who wasn't wearing a seatbelt while impaired but not blackout and the idiot who is 3 times over the limit and kills a kid crossing the road. Most people here would probably that 8 1/2 to 10 years is a fair punishment for the latter. I would also guess on average you are only likely to face a 1/3rd of your sentence behind bars with good behavior as a non-violent offender with this being their first major offense.

Vehicular homicide is criminal negligence in driving (real not self-appointed lawyer please chime in). Something like Cory slamming on the gas around that curve when he knew it was there and was too fast and it predictably resulting in a fatal accident even though the wasn't like "hey let's crash". Could be that with whatever he had in his system mixed with knowing how that road was and knowing he was driving too fast made him criminally negligent at taking the corner at that speed. I think it would be pretty hard to prosecute him on that and it would go down to manslaughter. I have no reason to think that I just do. I am 100% talking out of my ass.

the more this comes out the more i feel like corey got a bad toss of the dice here.
.10 isn't too drunk to drive for someone who drinks as heavy as he does, driving fast is definitely not a bright thing to do in those circumstances but how was p-stone in a car with a guy he knows is drinking, who's known to drive fast and doesn't put his seat belt on? especially for a man with two kids that seems like not the best thinking. kind of feels like if he had put his seat belt on the whole situation could be way less serious and would just be b-roll in a skate video.

the article said that the entire passenger side of the vehicle was gone. no seatbelt would have saved him. you don't need alcohol to drive like a reckless idiot. He was speeding in a 15mph zone and lost control of the car. alcohol or sober he fucked up the alcohol just sealed his fate for a long prison term. There's zero tolerance about that shit. If you're in an accident with injured people, even if you drove like a boss and it was completely not your fault and you're under the influence you'll be fucked.

.08 is a legal thing. Its up in the air weather .1 is drunk or not for an individual. Drunk is a subjective ass term too.
His first court date was for purposes to obtain a lawyer, plead guilty, plead not guilty, or get a continuance. Hes probably gonna have a few court dates until he gets a punishment or sentence. I'm guessing hes gonna just get a lengthy probation.
-
^^^Yup, it's a process. I got a DUI. My court date was like 30 days out. I drove with a temp license till then. Once I went to court, I just plead guilty and got the minimum which was $1700 fine, 1 day community service, 3 months of AA school and 7 years on my record. Some people get lawyers and try to fight it which they can win but you end up paying tons of legal fees which sort of means you are paying your way out of a DUI and get a wet reckless charge. Anyways....for something like this, his court dates and things will take time.

drinking is like smoking. a dude that never smoked and just started smoking, if he took one hit tried to skate would not do so well while a guy that's been wake n baking for years could take a hit and not miss a beat.
and sorry but not wearing a seatbelt in a car unrelatable to me. if that whole side of the car got destroyed it's a bit of a moot point but jumping in a car with a driver who's been drinking, who's speeding and through all that not putting your seat belt on is a bit of reckless thing to do especially for a dad. now that i have kids i wear a helmet when i ride my bike if i'm heading down any busy roads which is not something i ever did before having kids. different people have different approaches and priorities to parenting and for me it's hard to relate to taking on that kind of risk as a dad.

Unless he somehow gets the breathalyzer thrown out and is below on the blood tests, I see no way he doesn't spend significant time in jail. At best he might be able to plea it down to something like vehicular assault which is at a minimum 3 to 6 months, but considering he is bargaining down from 8 1/2 to 10 years, I doubt he can get the minimum on a lesser charge.
While committing something like this no matter where is terrible, he picked arguably the worst state in America. It appears Washington has the toughest DUI laws in the country. They have raised what Cory is facing from a 3 1/2 year minimum to an 8 1/2 year in recent years.

In my state the max penalty for first time DUI is 3 days jail, no one knows this though. 3 days in jail is so much better than thousands of dollars and all those bullshit classes you gotta go to for months on end.

Judge has a lot of discretion. I dont know if its mandatory jail time in his state but sentencing guidelines are just guidelines. Its what you COULD face, worst case scenario thing.

I seriously doubt Cory will do any time at all. Heavy fines and community service, probably AA and this will take months to resolve.

VA is pretty tough too. I spent $3k on a lawyer, $1k fine, and $500 on some stupid state alcohol education class (We just watched movies), plus 3 days in jail. Granted I rocked out a .18 in the middle of the day, on my way to the library. I was at home watching some college basketball game and got the text that my book was ready to pick up. I was so dumb. The library is a 15 walk from my house, but it was cold out.
The part about drinking experience is true. I was drinking at full alcoholic level at the time. I took the breathalyzer b/c I thought I was under .08. I did not feel drunk at all. In VA you are guilty if you refuse, but the penalties are a lot less than at my BAC.
Will never drive even after a sip again. VA has a DUI law called, "Two in Five" where if you get two DUIs in five years you are totally fucked.
Still does not excuse what Cory supposedly did. Innocent until proven guilty and all. He'll have to live with the memory for the rest of his life. I am against people who are not dangers to society doing jail time. It costs the tax payers a ton money and doesn't really rehabilitate people. Just scares them. Make him do community service or go work and give 50% of his earnings to the family or something.
I wonder what Nike HQ thinks about all this?

The part about drinking experience is true. I was drinking at full alcoholic level at the time. I took the breathalyzer b/c I thought I was under .08. I did not feel drunk at all. In VA you are guilty if you refuse, but the penalties are a lot less than at my BAC.
Will never drive even after a sip again. VA has a DUI law called, "Two in Five" where if you get two DUIs in five years you are totally fucked.
Still does not excuse what Cory supposedly did. Innocent until proven guilty and all. He'll have to live with the memory for the rest of his life. I am against people who are not dangers to society doing jail time. It costs the tax payers a ton money and doesn't really rehabilitate people. Just scares them. Make him do community service or go work and give 50% of his earnings to the family or something.
I wonder what Nike HQ thinks about all this?
Solid post.

As much as I appreciate SFB talking out his ass about the law (that's a serious statement), I feel like we need Slap's resident lawyer to chime in. Where's tortfeasor at?
I didn't think this was the right thread for the subject

VA is pretty tough too. I spent $3k on a lawyer, $1k fine, and $500 on some stupid state alcohol education class (We just watched movies), plus 3 days in jail.

1. He's rich
--I looked into his attorney and its not some public defender. Hes a top DUI attorney. All the evidence will come into play, but they will push it back for years possibly. He will probably do a 6month stay in a state run treatment program which is like ez jail but imagine 6 months of 7am to 9pm of counseling and treatmen courses. Probably get a felony, which cant be deferred by law in WA. Felony negligent endangerment, possible DUI as well. 10k plus in fines. Extra jail suspended upon completion of treatment, with 3-5 year tail (probation). So if he pisses dirty or gets caught drinking, he sits all the suspended time. Good behavior and probation adherence means 1/2 to 2/3 probation and he's off with good behavior.
2. He's rich
--P stone's family may seek a civil case against corey for the wrongful/negligent death; depending what he makes (contracts, sponsors, etc) and what his assets are (homes, cash, accounts, investments, TRUST FUNDS), could equal millions.
3. The judge/prosecutors will look at the big picture
--his community involvement and other aspects of his past behavior allow the sentencing some discretion.
4. He has to live with his actions for the rest of his life
--No punishment equals his mental battle, he may become suicidal or turn to drugs to numb the pain. HE HAS A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF HIM and the overal prospects of his life look bleak.
5. RIP P Stone

People pointing out that he's rich you going to fucking tell me that if you had that money you wouldn't spend top dollar either and get the best attorney you can afford?
-
^^^Yup, it's a process. I got a DUI. My court date was like 30 days out. I drove with a temp license till then. Once I went to court, I just plead guilty and got the minimum which was $1700 fine, 1 day community service, 3 months of AA school and 7 years on my record. Some people get lawyers and try to fight it which they can win but you end up paying tons of legal fees which sort of means you are paying your way out of a DUI and get a wet reckless charge. Anyways....for something like this, his court dates and things will take time.
Yea I have know some people that have gotten the dui knocked down to a reckless. But I have also heard it isn't cheap either. In the long run you just pay more and more money,

I was happy to see Gary speak out against drunk driving at the end of this weeks skateline.
Through the sadness, we have to confront how easily avoidable tragedies like this are.

Does anyone have links to any new P-Stone edits. Any besides the few that are posted everywhere. Been watching lots of the Bru Ray's. Every time I hear his voice, my thoughts go back to his family.
Also, Has there been any info on services released?

I got a DUI in VA and I'm still paying for it. I accepted a program called "drug court" to get the DUI reduced to a reckless driving upon completion of the program. I've been dealing with this program for the last 2 years and still have 8 months to go. I've taken 3 drug tests a week for the last two years along with a lot of other ridiculous shit. It's literally ruined my life and all the things I had planned for the future. Thing is, I wasn't even drinking. Had an adverse reaction to Zoloft and went into whats called a "dissociative fugue." Don't remember a thing. I've only drank a drove a few times in VA because I just don't believe in it and they are so harsh down here. Cory will probably get off with less than I'm dealing with right now. I've yet to speak to an attorney who could believe I was put into this program for misdemeanor first offense DWI.
I hate to hear all this, but I lost a friend to a drunk driving accident and that has a lot to do with me never doing it. I still think about my homie a lot and that shit eventually catches up with anyone and never turns out good. Hope it works out for Cory, and P.Stone RIP. Also fuck Virginia. This state can suck my dick from the back.

sad to hear about this, because a human loss is always tragic, but who was P-Stone?
RIP to him.

It makes me happy seeing the amount of money raised, atleast for his kids sake. The silver lining to a very dark cloud

Met with Matt and Ray this weekend, Preston's best friends. We are all amazed at every single person's generosity and support. I am personally thanking everyone of you and hope that you are receiving my messages. I had to take our family email off of here because of random strangers asking for money so please share your stories of you good times with Preston at kmaigetter@gmail. com. Also if you have pictures send those too for the book that I am creating for the boys. Love and Light to all of you. Kim Maigetter.
fuck these people

I know this will sound weird, but even though I never met preston, every time I've seen this thread pop up I would purposely ignore it.
I put up the obligatory "rip", but why is this news so much different than just "someone you know". Through skateboarding you connect to people easier, even through video and the written word. It bums me out in a real way, someone I've never even seen in person :(

Just remembering that back when you could comment on Thrasher, P-stones sig was "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone" and I used to think it was a little melodramatic but really it was prophetic.

I was so hyped when I got that “top commenter” flare. It mellowed out a bit when you could only comment via Facebook. I remember Duffel used to comment on every single post even with everyone making fun of him. Now it’s just a bunch of flame emojis on insta.
