It's crazy to think that three years ago today, Shane Cross Died on the back of Ali Boulala's bike...

I had met the guy at a demo the year before, such a nice guy. He had such a great impact on skateboarding as an AM for Flip for such a short time... too short.


anyways... vibes to his friends and family!
His spirit lives on in every skateboarder!

must be. I can't imagine the guy being a bad prisoner. They were great friends and i'm sure he deals with the grief every day.

I don't doubt it at all, it's like unintentionally killing your best friend. I bet he feels pretty shitty about it. Does anyone know if he was dropped by his sponsors?

Boulalas sponsors shouldn't have dropped him, the guilt was punishment enough

agreed 100%. i'm just saying, don't wish any more bad fortune on ali. can you even imagine what it would be like to kill your best friend, and live with that for the rest of your life? people fuck up. i guarantee you he learned his lesson....

What is great about Shane and Ali is that they were great at skateboarding and were sponsored but thats not why they skated. They skate(d) because they love to, they made it art work.

RIP Shane and I hope Ali picks up the skateboard when he gets out

Hopefully he won't have to take to long to get reacquainted with a board. Though I would just give him a few months to being back to his weird hippy/gypsy skating self
