A friend's death, and a new skateboard

A couple of things today.

First, a skateboarding friend of mine was found dead in his camper-van, up on a mountain in Montana. Apparently carbon monoxide poisoning from the heater he had in there, or so I’m told. I wrote this thing on my other blog. www.concretelunch.info/a-friend-…

Second, compelled by the news of his death for some reason I set up this new board. I’ve had the deck and wheels sitting around for a while, and was moved to assemble them - one might say I was called to do so. Looking forward to riding this with Frank in my memory. 🛹
