Huge loss for skateboarding and the Minneapolis skate scene. I'm still processing this..
I wanted to post this Jed Anderson interview that came out just a couple days ago, as I think there's a lot of overlap in dialogue, and I think both cultures have the opportunity to grow, learn and strengthen their communities at a time like this.
https://tormentmag.com/the-jed-interview/I had only talked to Henry a couple of times, but have a number of friends that were closer with him, and let me tell you its difficult to watch your friends grieve and struggle through feeling like they could've been there more, or done something different.
I know SLAP isn't the greatest place to talk about mental health, but I hope one day people can feel comfortable expressing themselves if they need the help, or can at least be redirected to the proper resources.
Hoping this can be the first step in a number of many for our community and culture. Be good to each other! ❤️
