in addition to what everyone else said, his skating was so special. was he a new yorker or an SF guy? yes. always loved his approach to skating. had such a great style and the perfect trick selection. in the 9 club he talked about it - they just skated all day and whatever spots they found, they skated. not to mention HUF as a brand basically reinvigorated the movement that we are seeing now for smaller brands being able to be successful. RIP to a legend. thoughts are with his family and friends. fuck!

He was originally from New York I believe. He used to skate with Keenan before he moved to San Fran.

yea! what i meant was that he fit both of those cities so well to the point where you didnt think of him as one or the other. not a lot of people can pull that off. i think somebody else mentioned but his footage never looked like a "summer vacation to SF". his approach felt so natural wherever he was.

Wonder if this is why they pulled the pin on the shoe program. He probably wanted to do it to his best ability and couldn't see it happening because of obvious reasons. I hope he didn't cop too much grief over that.
Respect.

It was so dope how he would give kids jobs so many kids who went on to create very prominent brands and careers I would love to see a family tree of HUF influence. RIP and condolences to his family and friends and supporters

fucking heavy. fuck cancer and fuck 2020

edit: it took me a while to really start appreciating skaters like HUF - choosing power over the sheer quantity of tricks. if I were to start my life over, I would definitely want to skate like HUF

Great video parts aside, he showed the world that there was a life outside being a pro skater having run a successful shoe and lifestyle brand. I'm probably getting the dates mixed up but I always remember HUF shoes as being simple, functional yet elegant. His brand proved that an independent brand could thrive and laid the groundwork for bespoke board and shoe companies.

Him skating to Heart in Real to Reel will always be etched in my heart. RIP Huf, you're shredding with angels now.

The Real to Reel-era Real had a lasting impact for me as a skateboarder.

Just the name "KEITH HUFNAGEL" alone sounded so damn cool so we were magnetized towards his skating. Like for many others, anytime Crazy on You plays, first thing that comes to mind is "Huf, Real to Reel."

RIP.

Found the mag (Nov 94), got to the Real ad and...


The pic had already found a new place somewhere.. Weirdly poetic.

Such a big loss.
On a trip to the US around 96 I bought Non Fiction on VHS. I brought it back with me to Europe and it was a bitch to convert, cause European VHS format was different. I finally managed to convert it and his part was the one I watched the most by far. Even though quality was shitty because of converting.
RIP, my thoughts go out to his family.
I really want to watch that 9 club itw but if he was already sick....gonna be a hard watch.

(these sad news got me going through my old Slap mag collection....and I found this Fun ad)

RIP to a Real skateboarder, I think it's a good time for us to exhalt his genius.

Not a trend follower, sticked to his great style.

He showed how to transition correctly from Pro Skateboarder to Entrepreneur

Into fashion but never too kooky

Pushed hard on Weed marketing, and made a huge profit of of it

Started a successful shoe brand which stood greatly next to the big corpo brands.



Hats off Keith, you were a true one, you'll be missed.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

My best friend is currently fighting brain cancer, so this is hitting me especially hard. Even with all the best treatments, the prognosis is really bad. He had a gran mal seizure about a year ago and they found a massive tumor. He was told he may only have a few years. It still hasn’t sunk in for me.

Skimming through pictures, you can see the scar over his right temporal lobe from the tumor removal in lookbacklibrary’s photo from a couple years back. Listening to his 9 Club episode, it didn’t really impact speech/memory so much. That was a real blessing for his family.

Fuck man, best dude. Met him a few times at the height of weedsocks when I was running DQM. Hearing him talk about how funny it was he was making all that weed sock money was great. Absolute legend. Rest in paradise buddy.

Never thought about till now how many incredible photos he had in magazines in the early 2000's. Crazy to think that he almost got Uncle Freddy on Real. His NYC roots are just the icing on the cake.
