While checking twitter one last time before going to sleep, I read the sad news that Eric Strickler, the editor of Transworld Skateboarding, passed away September 23rd. Transworld was the first skateboarding magazine I ever read and continues to be a source of inspiration for me, so my heart truly goes out to those who knew him and will miss him.
