I remember a friend of mine in high school in the early 2000s had a few Arto skating mag photos stuck on his bedroom wall, and I don't think I'm totally imagining this but I see one as being a bs blunt on a square handrail while smoking a cigarette. Probably all black outfit.
Maybe that page or maybe an other one but there was a quote from the interview and it mentioned having a heart....maybe not attack but a heart issue while skating.
I hope I didn't make this up because I this isn't the first time I've talked about it to people.

Arto would have been a cardiologist but he didn't have the heart

Might be an unpopular opinion but Mind Field is my favorite Arto part. A punch to the gut. The song, the skating, the editing. So powerful.
