That’s heavy, especially considering they doing the right thing with all the equipment.
RIP Fellow shredders. I hope the guy who survived is going to be alright, that’s a big loss.

Thoughts go out to the YES. snowboards crew for the loss of a family member - especially to David and Megan for the loss of a brother-in-law, and Boardworld member/supporter/sponsor Amine for the loss of a friend. RIP Joe Timlin.
