Rest in Peace Henry Gartland.

Todays blog sadly comes in with a heavy heart, another young man coming up in his skateboard career once again has been pulled from our arms too early. I don't really have a lot to say about Henry, his skateboarding was amazing, the kid could take a slam, it's not like I knew him and he sure wasn't a skateboarder I would choose to watch before a session to get hyped either, but he still was a skateboarder and part of this weird, crazy fucked up family we have with brothers and sister spanning all across the face of the earth. 

Henry took his own life and we all know too well he isn't the first of us to do so. I guess the point of this is to remind people that it's ok not to be ok, and there are people out there who love you and appreciate you, you do not have to suffer in silence and if you really, really can't bring yourself to talk to a friend or family member please call (if you are in the UK) Samaritans (or if you are in the USA) call National suicide hotline 1-800-273-TALK.

Remember we're all in this together and not just the people in your immediate friendship group look after all your brothers and sisters in the skateboard community. Rest in power Henry, you're with our other fallen brothers and sisters and today we push for you!
