A couple days ago I on the train from NY to VT I got some very terrible news that real good friend and FGO family member Derek Allen had been involved in a bicycle accident. I called around, and after a couple minutes found out the sad and unfortunate truth that Derek had been hit while riding and had passed away. I think Derek was really an amazing person. He was always smiling, constant comedy, and always down to have a good time. Not to mention one of the best, most natural kickflips and frontside flips ive ever seen. I had the privilige of knowing Derek for many years through our FGO family and our shared love of skateboarding, and I can definitely say that I ALWAYS had an awesome time with him. Im really gonna miss you Hobbit. Till we get to skate together again, Shred in peace homie <3 FGO forever
Our love and thoughts go out to Dereks family
