Sad news today: Joshua Waggoner is dead. People from everywhere sent me emails about it, so RIP Joshua ; our thoughts are with your family & friends.

quoting Austin C. :

I thought that it should be announced that Josh Waggoner has passed away today.

Suffered major brain damage wednesday evening around 4pm. This rollerblader had big things coming. Ask anyone in the south. C’mon guys. Ill keep you posted on funeral dates and such if anyone can attend.

quoting John Kelso :

I don’t know if you have heard yet but my good friend Josh Waggoner died last night after hitting his head trying a rail.

He was a dear friend to all of us. I don’t really want to go into all the details…I think people put up details all over be-mag..but he should just be honored here, or in some way…

I guess that was all I wanted to say.

Thanks,
John Kelso.

Update and Info on Josh Waggoner – Erin Hyser 3.27.08
Be-mag Thread.

I am terribly and undescribeably sad. Most of you have seen, met or know very well our dear friend Josh Waggoner. Yesterday afternoon at about 2:30pm Josh fell while street skating. His best friend, Wayne Engeron, was with him. The fall was to his ribs first and then Josh hit his head. He was immediately knocked unconcious. We got the phone call from Richard Williams at about 3:30pm and gathered our kids to head to the hospital for what we thought was a concussion. Upon arriving to the hospital we found out from Josh’s mom, Vicki, the severity of the situation was far worse. I stayed at the hospital with about 100 of Josh’s closest friends and family. We were allowed to visit him 3 at a time. The night dragged on. Spirits began to rise as we all told each other this could not be Josh’s time.

At about 1:00am Josh’s family, Wayne and Josh’s girlfriend were called back to meet with his doctor. There was a devastating silence in the waiting room. Finally, about 10 minutes later a hospital patient representative came into the room and told us the most unfortunate news we never wanted to hear. Josh is not going to make it. His brain was damaged beyond repair. He continues to be on life support while the family makes preparations for organ donation.

Never in a million years did I want to have to write something like this. My heart aches. My eyes sting. My mind cannot seem to wrap around the magnitude of losing such a sweet and loving young person.

We love you Josh!

Post subject: Josh Update – Erin Hyser 3.27.08 Post Hospital:

Dearest Friends,

Today is one of our most challenging yet. We said our final goodbye’s to THE nicest young man in the world. Josh is preparing for surgery to donate his organs to others in need. Just the way we would expect Josh to go. Still giving life.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. I will post them on Skatepile.com when they are available. His mom, Vicki, mentioned Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Josh leaves behind 100’s of friends, his mom Vicki, dad Jay, stepfather Eric, brother Brent, sisters Ashely and Allison, and a huge extended family of aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and cousins.

Please keep Josh, his friends and family in your prayers.

Grieving,

Arrangements for Josh Waggoner:

quoting Eric Hyser:

Hi everyone.

I just spoke with Vicki, Josh’s mom. Here are the arrangements for Josh.

Today and tomorrow, Saturday March 29th and Sunday the 30th, they are having a viewing. This is basically a time to come by and visit Josh. The viewing will be from 1pm – 8pm both days. It will be at the Tim Stewart Funeral Home. 300 Simonton Road is the address.

The funeral will be on Monday the 31st at 11am. The service will be held at Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula. 202 Hebron Church Road is the address.

Vicki has asked that we all wear our regular day-to-day clothes. Preferably jeans and a skate related t-shirt. She also mentioned the outfit they have chosen for Josh: Vibralux Jeans, Never Not Skating T-shirt and Jacket, Nike’s and ball cap. Definitely Josh.

I know we are all grieving this loss. Every day is a challenge right now. Be with friends and support each other. Remember we are all going to grieve differently. Be kind to everyone, and don’t judge those not grieving the way you are. I love you all!!!

Heavy hearted,

Erin Hyser

Edited by Rob Guerrero. Filmed by Adam Johnson, Jeromy Morris, and Michael Garlinghouse.

Song is by Bonobo “Walk In The Sky” off of the album “Days To Come.”

Here is the first edition of the Controlled Accidents monthly series. Every month an edit will go up and its contents will depend upon my location and environment. This particular edit was inspired by Lawrence Kansas and Kansas City Missouri. I have been here for the past month pretty much just blading and being influenced by a positive crowd.

Lots of nights spent at the Lawrence skatepark shredding around with my ipod an maybe 3 or so skateboarders. I prefer skating at night to day. My theory for the enjoyment of night skating is that for the most part all the lighting if focused only on the park. This may help in reducing distractions, and sharpening focus on obstacles at hand. Maybe there is something to be said about the quality of energy in the day as opposed to the night and how those differences influence you.

For this edit Footage was contributed by Michael Garlinghouse, Adam Johnson, and Jeromy Morris. I think one of the clips that was used in his video “The Birdz and the Beez.” Other clips he provided of Jeromy Morris and Jero I don’t believe were used. All of Brandon’s clips were used in “Zombie Comatose,” by Adam Johnson.The intro was made randomly during a Stay with Jeromy Morris. He had a peep hole from a door (no idea why) and thought it would be a good idea to use it as a fisheye. He was right, and I ended up using it. It was also filmed on a cannon “elph” handheld digital still cameras, which I thought was suprisingly good.

Waking up to fruit smoothies in the morning is a beautiful thing. Thank you Quinn! Another beautiful thing is Jeromy’s Daughter Opal. She is the prettiest little sponge always soaking everything around her in. Shes got her fathers crazy eyes and a crazy gaze to match.

Thats all for now..if I think of more I’ll put in…input.
