Skateboarding suffered a tragic loss today: Van Wastell has passed away at the age of 24. The details surrounding his death remain unconfirmed, but we will update this post when they become available. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Wastell family and their loved ones.
UPDATE: From the Matix site:
“There are some things in life you can never prepare for. I received a call from DLX’s Jim Thiebaud yesterday, his voice calm but unsteady. What he went on to tell me was seemingly unbelievable. 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. 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…”

This guy was so damn gnarly, when I watched a part from him, I couldnt watch any other skater all day, that would be my van wastell day. He had such insane control and I just knew he was rad without ever meeting him. I can see him doing endless stair runs in heaven; ollieing over handrails , slappying multiple sets, and all with finesse, power, and true passion. I dont want to try to wrap my mind around the details because it just shouldnt of happened. but the dude is gone so Im gonna have a lot more van wastell days. To everyone who knew him well I wish the best

A year ago July 27th my skater son Derek Gertz (18) died. My heart goes out to Van’s friends and family. I hope that Van will find Derek in Heaven and they can have a great time skating together.
