Kit Erickson.



The late Kit Erickson.

Before Sonic, Kit rode for H-Street and Life. He had a strong part with lots of big gaps and flip in tricks in Life's A Soldier's Story video from 1991. He was also sponsored by Airwalk. Kit passed away in 1997 after sustaining a serious head injury.

RIP Kit. Anyone have a link to Sonics industry section from 411vm issue 9?

I thought it might be on Skately.com, but it doesn't seem to be. Skateboarder Magazine has started posting issues of 411 on their website so it might end up there eventually.

Kit slept overnight at my house the night before he died. I was supposed to go to the warehouse party with him where her fell down the stairs and hit his head. What a terrible memory. I miss Kit.

I'm sorry for your loss. That's a total bummer.

I always feel odd mentioning that somebody passed away, but this is a historical/information website so it feels strange to not mention it, too.
