Sad to hear.

That front blunt across and down at the Ladner or Delta park or whatever was so clean.

The front blunt back 180 is one of the 20shot sequences in the beginning of the video. It's my favourite Vancouver clip of all time. Definitely remember Sam as a skinny little teen in a megadeath who would do blunt to 50-50 on the vert ramp, he grew into a force....I wish there was more minramp footage of him because it was nuts, big shifty to fakies, and neck high back disasters and the first guy I saw to do a big backside noseblunt, dive bomber style.

Always a shame when a fellow skater dies too young. Did he live his life in Vancouver? I haven't heard anything about in many years.

I'm a northern Ontario native...I visited Vancouver for the first time in the mid-90s. I was hoping for a Sam Devlin encounter and I received it! I went to a contest in Port Coquitlam...Sammy was there...killing it! Witnessing him skating was a highlight of that trip. R.I.P. Mega!

One of the skaters to represent Vancouver the hardest.

I was just thinking about how much I hate getting older the other day, RIP.

Cool clip. A very Canadian place to have obstacles in a hockey rink, eh!

Nope.

The only obstacles I recall are a couple of big quarters and a launch ramp next to a scrap yard car. But it was in a hockey arena!

Same! I bought Goat on cassette after seeing Sam's Trilogy part. Devlin was like an all terrain Joey Bast.

rest easy, condolences to his loved ones.
