One of skateboarding’s top amateurs and soon to be pro passed away on Friday. One of Wastell’s sponsors, Matix Clothing, made the following statement, “On Friday Sept. 5th, Van Wastell fell from a Berlin hotel window to his death. This is devastating news for all of us here at Matix, as Van was our friend, our team rider and a close homie of mine.”
Matix continues, “I don’t know what else to say other than we will miss the fuck out Van, he will continue his journey in mind and spirit. Our hearts goes out to the Wastell family during this time of confusion and sadness. WE ALREADY MISS YOU MUCH VAN…”
Wastell was 24 years old and sponsored by Krooked, Vans, Independent, Spitfire, Matix Clothing and IG Boardshop. Thanks for the memories Van…
