Today Go Skateboarding Day , a great friend and also great longboarder died.
His name is Erick Padilla 15 years old and he’s from Puerto Rico (where I live).
He was practicing downhill longboarding for a contest that is going to be held there this month (Las Piedras , Puerto Rico)
when this guy driving a Ford 450 tried to scare him getting real close with his truck ,
he hitted Erick with the rear-view mirror what made him fall from his skateboard and endend up below the truck,
he died instantaneously. All this events where caugth on film by a friend using a goPro camera.

REST IN PEACE ERICK WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU BRO
