RIP BGT. I’ll miss his posts in shoes and gear. Always with the knowledge and the inside scoop. Heavy news. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and PALS.

Across all of my slap incarnations, this dude was one of the best. Love and respect, G.

Homie deserves a colorway

Would be rad to make tees or stickers in that red SLAP logo that say TATE

RIP to an OG. Condolences to everyone that knew him

May he find eternal rest with G*d. A legend in the game.

Damn. This hurts.
Tate was one of the first posters I took it to the DMs to ask about stuff. Great guy and this is such a bummer.

My condolences to his friends and family.

Gotta pick up some New Balances for the homie.

Damn, I never really go into the shoes and gear section but i remember seeing his name on here since i was just lurking like 10 years ago. RIP

This is most likely real, there's NBA pics on his IG as well.

Sad news. RIP.

For real Tate held it down here. RIP to him. As an avid cyclist and fellow skater/SLAP lurker this hurts to lose another one of us.

Never knew the guy but his threads will live on and respect to him. I wish his family peace and everyone out there gets some skating and cycling in for those that are doing so in the other world.

RIP to an OG

This is hard to fathom. Bubblegum Tate and I rarely ever crossed paths here but he seemed so low key and kind and unflappable. Terrible news. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

assvogel · « **Reply #78 on:** April 11, 2023, 02:33:36 PM »

Damn, saw him posted on many stories today on IG, but didn't make the connection until I saw this topic.

Didn't know him personally, but seeing those stories and this topic, he was obviously loved and respected and always cool here on SLAP.

Rest in Peace Tate.

RIP Tate <3
He was always so thoughtful towards everyone here on Slap
Deepest condolences to his family and friends

Joust Ostrich · « **Reply #80 on:** April 11, 2023, 02:48:40 PM »

Another unnecessary death. RIP Tate. Sad day, again. Too young to be taken out by a stupid driver.

Gab · « **Reply #81 on:** April 11, 2023, 02:51:10 PM »

Rip Tate. Never had a conversation with him but I always saw his posts on here and he is obviously a legend. Condolences to his friends and family.

DAMN. What a bummer. Tate got his share of kooks and roastings way back (“Save on bandwidth”), but he was a super helpful and knowledgeable guy.

RIP to Bubblegum Tate and thanks for everything you did to hold it down in Shoes & Gear and all over.

This is really sad.

Yeah was always amazed by his ability to take teasing in stride and never have to fire back.

Yeah the running joke was that Tate was a bot created to post Street Corner ads. Unflappable, as GAY said, is a great word for him. So sad to only see this fuller picture of him now that he’s gone. I’ve been here 17 years and he has been a fixture throughout. RIP to a true Slap Pal, skate nerd, and by all accounts awesome human.

GardenSkater77 · « **Reply #83 on:** April 11, 2023, 03:05:36 PM »

Here to pay my respect.

I vote Shoes and Gear become Tate’s Corner.

RIP to SLAP’s 2nd greatest poster.

Yeah at least for some time, I was gonna say pin the Nike SB thread for a month…..

eSK3 · « **Reply #85 on:** April 11, 2023, 03:13:36 PM »

RIP. I didn’t know him personally but reading his posts for more than a decade it’s like you did know him. True slap legend.

ramplocal · « **Reply #86 on:** April 11, 2023, 03:15:25 PM »

Absolutely horrible news. Condolences to his family and friends. Stay safe out there guys. RIP Tate

mattdlx · « **Reply #87 on:** April 11, 2023, 03:16:17 PM »

Knew him for a long time through Bay Area skateboarding, but hadn’t put together that he was Bubblegum Tate. Double dose of RIP.
Definitely one of The Good Ones.
