A sad day for skateboarding. Josh Evin, gnarly skateboarder and amazing person, will be greatly missed by many.
The CBC has some detailed information about the situation:
"Professional skateboarder Josh Evin, 29, is presumed dead following a motorcycle accident near Nelson, B.C. Police believe Evin drowned after his motorcycle hit a concrete barrier and he and a passenger were thrown into a hydro canal next to the Kootenay River on Sunday morning. The male passenger was rescued by passing motorists."
