PHC!
Never met James but this whole thing hurts me. I will now try more toe rolls in his honor.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time with James. He was one of a kind. If you've ever met James... you are sure to remember him. He left an impression on every single person he met. Those of you that had the pleasure of meeting/skating with him know exactly what i'm talking about.
i hadn't seen James in a few years... due too him traveling, and everyone else's work/school/grown up shit, going on. luckily my good friend Adam and i recently took a trip down to New Philly to skate the park with James and some others. Of course i had no idea then, that would be the last time i'd see James and skate with him.
But now i just think... I'm so glad i went to the park that day.
This truly is a tragedy.
Rollerblading just lost another of the best.
Ohio just lost another rollerblader.
and I just lost another close friend.
RIP James. You will not be forgotten.
Its my birthday today and I ll drink a couple of shots in his memory.
My heart hurts. I'm sorry James that your life was ended much sooner than it should have been. I've only know him through be-mag. If we had an appreciation thread for him if he was alive, I would have appreciated him. Not just because he is not with us anymore.
Please be safe guys. Drinking and driving is not cool. That shit has killed a few friends over here, and has killed y our friend on be-mag.
I actually liked his music. I'm glad that I was at least able to PM him to tell him that before I missed my chance. He will be missed.
RIP
So sad to hear this .. horrible news.. I never meet James , but I feel the loss !!
My heart goes out to his family and close freind s
R.I.P bro

It looks like the girl may just get a ticket and a letter saying "please don't kill people again".A report will be turned over to the Tuscarawas County prosecutor’s office for further review following the death Sunday of James D. Short, 24, of 116 Ray Ave. NW, New Philadelphia, stemming from a motorcycle/car accident Wednesday.
New Philadelphia police Officer David Cimperman said the collision of Short’s motorcycle and a car driven by Doris A. Caranda, 48, of 412 Kelly St. NW, New Philadelphia, appears to have occurred in Short’s lane of travel.
The accident was reported Wednesday at about 9 p.m., and Short was listed Thursday in serious condition in the medical intensive care unit of Akron General Medical Center, where he was flown by helicopter Wednesday night.
Cimperman said Sunday that evidence shows that Short was westbound on Park Ave. NW and was turning north onto Union Ave. NW. Caranda was driving a car south on Union Ave. and was turning left (east) onto Park Ave.
Cimperman said Short’s motorcycle was “technically in the intersection” and “definitely on the right of way for the northbound lane” when the collision occurred.
Short, who was not wearing a helmet, was ejected from the motorcycle and was thrown about 20 to 30 feet from the point of impact.
Caranda, who was not injured, was cited for driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. Cimperman noted Sunday, however, that he has not cited yet for the underlying charge and said that won’t be done until he has a chance to discuss the report with the prosecutor.
Meanwhile, about 200 of Short’s friends were assembling a memorial tribute to his life at the New Philadelphia Skate Park off Mill Ave. SW late Sunday night.
Trina Garcia of Tuscarawas said Short was a pro rollerblader and noted that his friends were skating in his memory. She also said the tribute would include a helium balloon launch.
A candlelight vigil also was to be included in the tribute, according to Anjanette Beahm of New Philadelphia.
“We’re all devastated,” said Spencer Gray, also of New Philadelphia, adding that Short was one of his best friends. Gray, who also had skated with Short for about a year, described Sunday night’s scene at the Skate Park as “electrifying.”
In addition to being a pro rollerblader, Short had been employed as a pizza maker at Jesana’s Pizza at New Philadelphia for about a year and a half.
