I still can't believe it. Such a nice guy and the best rollerblader in Russia with unique raw style. From what I know he died last night

what was the cause? heart condition or something?

Amazing rollerblader, His name gets good breath over here. Russia (blading in general) lost a good dude.

I'm not ready to believe this yet. Can we get a few other Russian skaters to confirm this? If it's true I'll be a little bit devastated. I saw his Freeway section from 2006 and was kind of blown away by it. I'd seen his earlier stuff as well, and it was great, but definitely felt a little bit dated. The Freeway section is timeless, a classic even.

This guy is/was l one of the best skaters of his generation, anywhere. Honestly, we haven't seen enough footage of him. You just know when someone is great because they look a little more solid on everything they do; a little more comfortable than the rest of us ever will. Note the topsoul at 17:50 in the section below. Too good and too unknown. I'd love to get a dvd compilation of this guy's clips, dead or alive.

16:51 for those who haven't seen it yet.

I talked to a mutual friend (to Andrey) about this and he got in touch with his Russian friends and it was confirmed. Died in his sleep. Cardiac arrest.

Freeway section is my favorite too. I've found only this shitty quality one online where it's just his profile

But yeah the full one is what you posted
