Still no statement from KA.
This is incredibly disappointing, KA was my favorite skateboarder and I would suck up any footage of him whether skating or not. I looked up to him as a skateboarder with impeccable style and trick selection, and also as just a nice fucking guy. I loved how he was someone who put out quality footage and not quantity, also being half-Japanese myself I guess it was cool seeing someone that comes from a similar ethnic dynamic.
Hell I was talking about how much I loved this skater to my gf a week before this happened. I can separate the art from the artist, but this time I liked the artist as much as the art. Hope he does the right thing and addresses everything, hope the women can work past this trauma and get the closure and support they need.
