Fausto was legit...

Fausto Vitello, the man who founded Independent trucks and Thrasher magazine, has passed away. And although there's a lot you can be reading about him on the internet right now, his death proves how short and precious life is, and I bet he'd much rather prefer you go out skating right now and spend time online once you are done...R.I.P Fausto, thanks for everything you did for skateboarding. You will be missed.
