Photo: MercadoAs skateboarders, we seek serenity by placing ourselves on top of a four-wheeled wooden plank that somehow also functions as an invisible bond, keeping us all together as a tight community.
Juan “El Meni” Menicucci was one of the strongest links in a gigantic chain of talented, up-and-coming skaters from Argentina who pursue the ultimate skateboarding career goal—getting to skate with your friends as much as possible.
His passing fills us with sadness but serves also as a reminder to never stop strengthening and expanding the chain. Our deepest condolences go out today to his family and close friends.
Como skaters, buscamos serenidad subiéndonos a una tabla de madera con cuatro ruedas, que por algún motivo también funciona como un vínculo invisible que nos mantiene unidos como comunidad.
Juan "El Meni" Menicucci fue uno de los eslabones más fuertes en una cadena gigante de skaters de Argentina que persiguen el más noble objetivo—salir a patinar con tus amigos tanto como sea posible.
Su partida nos llena de tristeza, pero también sirve como un recordatorio para nunca dejar de fortalecer y expandir la cadena. Enviamos hoy nuestras más profundas condolencias para su familia y amigos cercanos.
—Ale Mercado
Juan's 38º SUR part is a timeless reminder of his undeniable power
