It's with very heavy hearts we share the passing of our brother Blake Cole Smith.
Blake was a truly kind soul and shining light to everyone around him.
He never lost sight of keeping skateboarding fun, and he put his friends above all else.
Blake joined Madrid in early 2021, and was featured prominently in our latest team video released this summer.
We ask that you keep Blake's family in your thoughts while navigating this difficult time; and honor his memory by focusing on what matters most in this truly fleeting life we all inhabit.
Rest in power Blake. 🖤
