R.I.P. Carlos

Carlos Sanchez, hardflip

Carlos Sanchez was a young ripper. I remember him teaching me hardflips downtown when I first came home from up north. Then he and Tony Peoples snagged some HotPockets from the store and microwaved them at my crib on the beach. Carlos died in a car accident six months later.

“Carlos had the best inward-heelflips,” Tony remembered recently, over an afternoon game of SKATE.
