RIP Jan Fehlmann. “We woke up to the heartbreaking news that Jan Fehlmann has passed away. Jan was one of our team riders as well as a beloved part of the skating community ; passionate, supportive, and always stoked to roll.

After facing some injuries recently, he poured that same passion into biking. We’re thinking of his friends and family during this difficult time. […] Rest in peace, Jan. You’ll be deeply missed”. - Cougar Skates (Post on Instagram).
