RIP P-Stone

[Pigeon]

RIP

Hopefully, there's a Gofundme or something, so we can help with funeral costs.

Not most. Just you drunkards.

No. I bet more people in the US have drove home drunk as in above the legal limit than haven't. Unless you live in a part of the country where people don't drive as much. Of course you could probably never get an honest statistic on that. Nobody's saying drinking and driving is okay. People are just putting there self in someone elses shoes. You know, being empathetic.

You're not being empathetic, you're making stupid assumptions based on no knowledge whatsoever.

Heartbreaking on all fronts :/ Condolences to P Stone's family.

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

i dont know what to say other than cory's drinking seemed like it was becoming a problem a few years ago.

p-stone seemed eternal. rest in peace to a good one. will be missed.

[CINCINNATI]

terrible day all around. like people said previously, yes ck1 made a mistake, but treat him as if it was your sibling that was in his shoes. Preston was the essence of skating, food, camping and having a good time. never met the guy, but I could watch pstone edits all day long. I've been wanting to put the bottle down for good as of recent, this might just be what helps.

Yes being empathetic is when you put your self in somebody elses shoes. I'm not crucifying anybody unless they murder someone. As somebody above quoted. When everybody is blacking out anybody can die. It's tragic on all fronts. Drinking and driving is fucking stupid and there is no excuse for it these days with Uber, Lyft and just having a cell phone period. He 100% needs to face what ever punishment the legal system throws his way and he's never going to be the same person again. He's probably suicidal right now and will live with these demons every time he looks at any of his friends. As I said earlier, how would you feel if it was your brother, sister, or best friend. You should be mad, but you shouldn't condemn them.

[wheelies]

We shouldnt demonize the suds too much, he seemed to love his beer, sometimes shit happens.

P STONE!!!

Fair enough. �Not to belabor the point "but at least here in WA", it's pretty easy to knock back a couple 7%+ craft brews and a bowl, �feel great, appear normal, but be over the .08% limit and technically drunk. �But this isn't the thread for finger pointing and one of my favorite clips of the zillion things I've watched in Skateboarding is P-Stone's blunt battle in the pool for a keg of PBR. �RIP in Peace and by that I mean rip.

Can you post a link? I searched to no avail.

[Fongstarr.]

Damn, I just googled his name and saw he was supposed to get married in Feb 2018.

https://www.zola.com/registry/prestonandanna

Fuck! Jesus. This literally doesn't get better. I just got married this past summer. What a fucking bummer to literally have this happen months before your wedding. I feel super bad for their family.



And the whole CK1 thing....the guilt he's experiencing is enough rather than having others tarnish his name. I've been in a car accident with my girlfriend and she got taken away on a stretcher and it's a fucking terrible feeling to see that. Thankfully she only had some whiplash but I can only imagine if she got even more hurt. This is a total traumatizing experience that will literally change Cory's life forever. Being rich and getting through the courts doesn't take that away from him. I am even sure he feels the jail time is deserving.

God this is terrible 
I had a few beers last night, was a bit stoned and figured I'd check slap just before heading off to sleep.
I saw this thread and it didn't register at all, I kept looking through for the post that would say it was just a bad mistake... Today it doesn't make any more sense. R.I.P. P-Stone. So sad to hear about this. Thanks for catching a zillion rad moments on film for the rest of us. And I hope Cory is able to keep in mind that his friend wouldn't want him to spend the rest of his life hating himself. That's no way to honor a friend.

[TheDraught]

Of course the industry is looking away as usual. Nike should have forced this guy into rehab years ago instead of marketing his alcohol fueled antics. 

[BacksideWallride]

RIP. Anti Hero edits will never be the same

[Maggie]

I hope there's a grill in heaven. RIP Preston... FUCK! One of my favorite personalities.. such a positive ball of energy. Again, the specifics shouldn't matter to us.. leave all that crap up to the judge.. pray for CK, Preston and their families.

Also, this 'rich white boy' shit needs to stop, we lost a legend, Cory's background shouldn't be questioned by strangers, that's an immature, inappropriate angle..  don't be as toxic as people claim SLAP tends to be...

First, I can't understate my feelings for P stone's family.Also i loved him/his work etc..
 I feel so bad for CORY, people will hate, but he accidentally killed one of his best friends, it will kill him inside for a long time if not forever. The spark he had in his eye may never comeback, look at Boulala he never got that light back. Cory will probably want to spend every day possible in that prison. I feel horrible for him. P Stone loved Cory and would be bummed at everyone hating on Cory. They were partying together and this tragedy happened. P Stone would want us all to support Cory through his horrible journey he will have to make.
 In one recent Thrasher Cory said to Phelper something like "all my friends are dead or in jail" I know Cory was self medicating through lots of internal sadness just based of that quote.
 I wish we could give P Stone back to his family and to all of skateboarding, but it can't be so. I wish we could give Cory back to skateboarding and back to his happy ways, but I fear it won't be. I feel for Grant and Da'an and a few others who were so close to Preston and who looked up to him in a father figure type way. Those that know those guys should keep a watchful eye on them and their consumption in the coming months we don't want to loose more people, Preston would be crushed, he had such a love for all those guys and for all of the skateboarding audience and foremost his family. Great guy, his great laugh or chuckle during filming comes to mind over and over. I will miss Re_Brew episodes so much, Thrasher should compile them all onto hard copies, that would be a treasure and permanent memorial for him to be remembered.
  RIP Preston

I forgot about that. That was in the last issue. Such a dark heavy quote. Poor dude's probably feeling suicidal right now. Whole thing is so fucked.

He may have been quoting that Josh Prine song. Also I feel like that quote is in a famous movie as well.

John Prine, and I doubt it

I would love to see them push not drinking and driving in a way that doesnt condem cory. Alas this probably wont happen

[underknowledge]

RIP His edits are the shit but. why is everyone talking like they know the details. eveyone is just assuming and starting rumors .

[decoi1]

It's pretty jacked to place any blame on CK. I lost 4 friends in a drunk driving accident last year. 2 of them were lifelong homies. If the girl driving would have lived we'd of never made her feel guilty about it. The fucked up thing is I was supposed to be in the car with them. My homie showed up about 10 min before we were leaving and wanted to go skate so I chose that over floating the river with them. So in a way skateboarding actually saved my life. I hope CK is able to find away to live with it. And RIP to PStone. Dude seemed like one of the coolest

this is the turn the accident happened on

for whatever reason you can't get a street view

[jonnysheen]

Such a shock, never saw anything like this happening again.  RIP P-stone.   My heart goes out to his family.

If Cory was driving I feel for him.   The party boy, crazy clown image that his sponsors pushed is over with i'm guessing.

While I totally agree on the lack of racial equality in this country, please let's just share good stories of preston and raise awareness for the dangers of drunk driving.
