He stomped the shit out of his opening nose grind in the DC video.

Damn, RIP. I was first introduced to him in Yeah Right! Great style and trick selection. This last Nine Club Experience is going to be a bummer

I always wish his part had the lyrics in his Yeah Reah part. So many damn people dying this year and we’re not even in April.

Rest In Peace. Fantastic skateboarder and while I never he met him, he always seemed like a great guy. Also seemed like a great cook! As someone from Mexico City, it's always a pleasure to see Americans do tacos al pastor justice

That was shocking opening up SLAP to see this news. I feel like we were talking about his chrome ball interview:

He came across like a real nice guy. Damn shame.

Gab · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2023, 10:26:29 PM »

Aw wtf! Condolences to his friends and family. Rip Robbie

commander jameson · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2023, 11:15:31 PM »

Terrible news!
He was very stylish skateboarder that people still talk about to this day.
Condolences to family and friends.

RoaryMcTwang · « **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2023, 11:30:45 PM »

That is terrible news. Condolences to all who knew and loved him. That one nollie flip off a loading dock has been stuck in my mind since I first saw it many many years ago.

Dark Knight · « **Reply #18 on:** March 29, 2023, 01:54:02 AM »

This is horrible. RIP
Condolences to James Craig and Chris Roberts and everyone I’m tripping here

DCLOVE · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2023, 02:03:14 AM »

Wtf . Man RIP. Second the girl memorial board.

Dark Knight · « **Reply #20 on:** March 29, 2023, 02:19:01 AM »

Dude, I’m actually really torn up about this. Skated with him quite a bit at Fullerton High, and the manny pads across the street; during the Society/bLind days. Then the Ponds, then Venice, and then the Courthouse on the weekends. This shit hurts. I’m sorry, Cliff.

Jim and Dan · « **Reply #21 on:** March 29, 2023, 04:20:43 AM »

Condolences to everyone whose lives he touched through skateboarding and life. Never felt like he got his fair dues with the whole DC/Girl deal, the world missed out on more years of smooth operation.

RIP Bob McCrooks.

His footage was always fun to watch.

GrayCellGreen · « **Reply #26 on:** March 29, 2023, 05:47:30 AM »

I saw that someone mentioned something about this last night but I didn’t find anything online about it and was hoping it wasn’t true. This is a bummer. My heart goes out to his friends and family 😞

finecojeffe · « **Reply #27 on:** March 29, 2023, 06:14:07 AM »

Sad to hear of this. I sat next to him often in class at the art institute and would joke around a lot. He was usually quiet but definitely a fun person and talented.

DannyDee · « **Reply #28 on:** March 29, 2023, 06:28:00 AM »

wow, RIP. Terrible to hear. I can't count how many times I re-watched Yeah Right and DC Video growing up. Condolences to his family and friends.

Madam, I'm Adam · « **Reply #29 on:** March 29, 2023, 06:31:29 AM »

Rest in peace. Had that solid, classic style, and great trick selection. When I was a kid, I was always hyped to see his footage. Left an indelible mark on street skating for sure.
