RIP Victor Earhart; the skater grandpa

We have lost a valuable ambassador of skateboarding. Victor Earhart enjoyed riding downhill and even off-road, and worked many years building skateboards. He is known mostly for showing us that you can keep riding well into old age (and that infamous "I'd give a f*ck, but I already gave it to your grandmother last night" meme.) Victor passed away in a motorcycle accident on November 28, 2016. He is an inspiration to everyone who dreams of building a life around their passion and joy, and to everyone that hopes to skate for as long as possible. Thanks for all the stoke, Victor! Rest in peace.
