There was no wire. Clark's planet needed him.

Video was definitely bitter sweet and good to see they are trying to do something positive from such a tragedy. Will also scoop up his decks.

very touching and definitely will be buying one of his boards. much respect to SC for fully consulting with Henry's family about what they should (or should not) do and how they should go about doing it.

Can’t figure out how to post the screenshot but the Henry board looks sick. Can’t wait to grab one.

RIP Henry, can't still believe it.

Lost an old friend couple days ago to suicide. I wanna remind everyone to talk those who are close to you or seek professional help if it's too hard to talk to your friends and family. Or even here. As much as industry wants to point fingers towards SLAP always in a negative way, this forum has helped me through some lonely times.

I second this.

RIP Henry. Lots of people fight battles deep inside we have no idea about. It's ok to ask for help.

RIP Henry.  Was looking forward to seeing what other local spots he was going to destroy.  Tell your friends you love them.

That was rad. He had a lot of skill and talent and he was so light-footed. Some Jon Allie/Chris Wimer type flicks in there.. He had a penchant for big rails, but you can tell he was an atv.

I really hope it wasn't suicide. I can't lie I watched his footage and got teary eyed. Much love to his family and friends.

R.I.P. Henry

I'm not even exaggerating, I had him pegged as the next GT style great one and I was positive he was going to be all over mag covers and shoe ads for the next decade at least. He fucking RIPPED and had great style and just that certain charisma to his skating that always made me want to watch more. I actually credit him (and to a lesser extent Jake Wooten) with completely changing my perception of Santa Cruz just with how fuckin cool he looked skating for them. I guess he was one of those Minnesota skate rats that basically spent his winters locked in 3rd lair learning and mastering shit then once the weather broke he'd take it to the streets and do it even better than he did in the park.

I took it kinda hard back then and this stirs those feelings up for sure. It's one of those situations where you wish someone could see themselves the same way others see them...So much love and respect for the kid, and while he's hopefully at peace I selfishly wish I could see what amazing stuff he was going to do on his board. RIP Henry.
