I doubt anyone would be that petty, I don't see how someone would figure that as an option, that sucks

I'm seriously bummed right now

Wow, RIP Van Wastell.

2 months back Van, Trapasso, Ramirez, and somebody else came with Vans to Baton Rouge and had a few of my friends bring them to skate around the city.
I wish I could have been there.

At least Van seemed to enjoy himself skateboarding, you got to respect him for that.
ThomasRolinger
I feel dumb because I've never heard of this dude. I guess I am not that current.
TimothyKelly
I do not want to believe this. Right after he went pro?
inkoso
^^didnt go pro, was going to this month

tell me if im wrong but i think he was about to go pro this month
special_K
wtf dude. this is crazy. he just turned pro too. unsure.gif

R.I.P.
Broffesional
I think you're officially pro once it's announced which it has. So he made it.
Candymachine
Terrible news. I remembered him from my 2003 am issue. I dug it up for the occasion.

"Ever since I've met him, he's been way too buttery. He's just real calm and he's got tons of pop. It's funny because a couple of years ago he wasn't even concerned with getting sponsored. [laughs] He would do stuff like hike in the woods by himself after school. Then one day it clicked in him that he wanted to go for it, and now he's just blowing up." - Paul Rodriguez

RIP Van Wastell. A true shredder.
aLuthier
i am beyond sad.

Hi i´m from germany, a filmer from berlin just gave us some information:
He is/was touriuide for the vans team during their stay in Berlin. Van asked him for painkillers, after a couple of slams on his hip, plus he had a jetlag and some additional pain because of his once broken arm ( i think because of this arm wrestling thing, you might know from his joe krolick part). Anyhow they got him some painkiller-gel, but he still wanted to find a hospital. He spend the rest of the day drinking some beers, weed not excluded... Then it must have been happened...

Damn i liked his skating so much... RIP
JacobSeaton
man that sucks, he was sick
Curtis.
So fucking bummed. I loved his part in Krooked Khronicles and was really hyped to finally hear about him turning pro. I can't believe this...

RIP.
