Ross Rogers is amazing. So bummed to hear this. Worked with him a bunch of years ago (what up, Smiggles). Dude was so stoked at all times. Just amazing. He put a sticker on the windshield of my car, but facing inward. I said, "Dude, that's just gonna look blank from the outside" and he said, "Yeah, it's so whoever's in the passenger seat gets psyched." Testament to his instantaneous energy and own unending bemusement.

Best thing I ever heard him say, and completely seriously: "I love lesbians so much--why can't they love me?!?"

RIP Ross, tomorrow's sesh is for you.

Always present at the Chatham County Showdown. Dude brought good vibes and plenty of stoke to my life for the last 7 or 8 years. Always had a floor for my sleeping bag or yard for my tent on Wilmington trips. On behalf of the skate community in central Cacka, "you will be missed". Ride on bro.

Always loved getting Pink Crack or a Print Exchange photo from him- just knew him in 'zine trade/pen pal form, but
that's really all it took to realize he was an amazing person.  RIP.

Here are a couple clips I filmed of him back in 07 at a pool on the outer banks. I still can't believe he's gone.
