Speaking of SF skating, and to keep this thread going. This is my roomie, best friend, much more than that brother I never had, David Abair last part! Friends since back in Vermont and major reason I moved out to SF 16yrs ago and def stayed was cuz of him our brother hood. He put out a lot of sick parts over the years but this last one extra special. Love and miss him everyday. -
@meatmarketdenim1 super sick skating man. I love those infamous SF bomber run outs after a gap trick or the like.
Did something happen to your buddy Dave?

Thank you man, keep our memories going rest of my life.Heres pic of all his pro boards ever on this company called scum co hanging up in my apartment. He always gave me one to hang, ones to skate etc Gear wheels and all that. He also Said I was only person to have them all. The last 2 bottom right side came out after. Anyway hope not too sad/bummer of a post. Just wanted share his part for the skate thread and since taking about SF. -
@meatmarketdenim1 Oh bro...such a sad story. Sorry to hear things turned out like they did. Sounds like he was a rad dude who was loved dearly.
I have a sadly, similar story myself. My buddy Ross. Since we were both 18, we skated together every single day. As we grew older, we continued to skate and go through our young party years. We were best friends for 15 years until we sort of grew apart. I pursued education and matured, he seemed stuck in his adolescence and rutted out.
The saddest part of the story, he always wanted to start his own skate company. He talked about it all the time in all our years skating together. He finally got his shit together and somehow got it off the ground. He moved to Vegas and made it happen! He started a company called Colonial and they were doing great!
One night coming home from a party he crashed his motorcycle and it all came to an end. I too have his boards as momentos and keep them on the wall.
Thanks for sharing your story man. And thanks for letting me share mine. Our brothers will live on forever this way!
