Never met him, but his bit in Gravity's Flow where he cross-steps as he's grinding in a miniramp is permanently burned into my memory. Stylish is right! Thank you, Brad, for everything you did for skateboarding, and rest in peace! |

Got to know Brad, seeing him at events & having him stop by to pick up wheels from me. As great a skater as he was, he was an equally great person. Always had a smile, friendly with everyone & a great attitude.
He was one of the most versatile skaters there ever was. He could skate everything & do it with great style, all on a longboard!
He will be missed.

He was just out here in AZ not too long ago with Aaron Astorga building a wood bowl.
We had so much fun that week. Skated 2 parks and Frank Atwater rolled through town and we all skated a crusty (but fun) pool and we all got our grinds. We had dinner at this English meatpie restaurant in Mesa with Colby Carter that week too. Had some killer pizza in Tempe and burritos in Chandler as well. We had beers, we had safety meetings and we skated our asses off.
Every time I hung out with Brad it was always pure fucking stoke. Many sessions and many beers with him and he never showed up without a smile. |

He came up to MA to settle his grandmother's estate a few years back and I was lucky enough to get to know and skate with him. He was such a great guy. Always stoked and up to skate or surf anytime. He even came by with my other buddy unannounced and helped me demo a brick staircase in my house. We will miss you so much bro... |

@slavadov - YES! That 50/50 cross step from Flow blew my mind as well when I first saw it. |
