Brandon Luera RIP

The skateboarding world has lost another incredible family member this month. Brandon Luera was a local legend in his hometown of Vista, CA where he was loved by all. Although Brandon never had a career in skateboarding, the community has seen plenty of him through videos over the past 15 years. Constantly mashing through kink rails with ease, Brandon had a way of skating rails that most weren't comfortable with. When Brandon caught his hat mid grind on a rail in the middle of $lave's Radio Television premiere, the theatre erupted in a way that solidified Brandon as Vista's finest. His infectious personality made every session better when he was on it, never allowing for a dull moment. A great skateboarder and an even better friend, he will be missed by not only the skateboard community, but by anyone who was lucky enough to encounter him.
