RIP Bubblegum Tate

[planman]

Damn what the fuck...We been losing too many PALS this year. Probably the nicest dude who I've had the pleasure of sharing the boards with over the years, and his expertise in the shoe game was unmatched. If you had any footwear-related inquiries he could pretty much always answer your questions, and on the rare occasion he couldn't, he'd at least point you in the direction of someone who could.

Know it's been said many times but the entire Shoes & Gear forum will straight up never be the same. RIP Tate, hope you're somewhere catching a sesh with the rest of our fallen PALS.

Come out to Shoreview this Sunday, it’ll be a good time. Also, if you haven’t signed that skate plaza gofundme change.org page, please do.

I put in a ticket for the admin in the name change section. I also tagged Alan just to show that it has the Mods blessing. Haven’t heard back about my request.

Only seeing this now, fuck me, breaks my heart, any new thread, any new video Tate had posted it, he saw everything before everyone and shared it, I can’t believe he’s gone, can’t believe I’m only finding out now, been off slap a couple months and came back for a lurk and read this shit, fuck me

[feedmeastraysat]

RIP to the humblest, nicest dude.

[Uncle Flea]

I chose our first spot. I been thinking about where I put these carefully.

I want the world to know you know. I want maximum eyes and longevity.

Much love to the Pals. Up with us ....

RIP Lester Legarda, Bubblegum Tate, Loaf (what Atlas and San Mateo homies would call him 🥺)

Back when I started skating Shoreview in San Mateo, CA, I noticed this super nice dude being genuinely nice to all the youth at the park. Making jokes, keeping everyone lighthearted, giving out product to local kids like Eduardo (who makes horror tik toks now according to niki), Juan, and this dude who had a rly dope style who moved to Mexico.

A decade later I’d start working at atlas, and he would post up to hang and shop around. I was looking forward to seeing him a lot more, but a day after he visited, I had heard the news.

I was in total shock. Just goes to show that life is so precious, anything could happen at any given moment. Your presence is definitely missed—from the Atlas team, Bay Area skate community, and slap.

Mods - what happened to paying homage to Tate with a rename of either the Upcoming Shoes thread (where I feel he really made his mark) or just the whole Shoes and Gear board?

If you are on the main menu underneath Shoes & Gear it says “Tate’s Corner.” Sorta like a sub-heading where the description would typically be. Ex. under Useless Wooden Toy Banter it says “News, gossip and general skate talk.”

ah gotcha. I typically just use the "Jump to" quick menu on the lower right side and bounce between boards that way.
