  • @tthheekk
    I remember this little kid called Louie up at flat grounds (across from Flinders St. station where FED square is now) in Melbourne in around 1995. He was usually just chillin with other skaters and would get up and rip a few kickflips from time to time. I swear one time I saw him put up a tag with a marker. Was it "TICK"? I am thinking this is him. I never even knew he went on to be bigtime until now. Such a spin out and blast from the past! I am 36 now and he was about my age then. RIP mate glad to see you lived it up!

    Lewis Marnell, Ben Pappas, and Shane Cross. Three legends from the land down under. Rest in peace to these three Aussie icons.
  • @Rafacrazy125
    That smile in the end when he landed the tre flip shows the passion he had for skateboard.
  • Lewis Marnell touched a lot of lives in his short time here on Earth, it's people like him that are remembered, not for what a great skateboarder he obviously was , sickest hardflips btw too, but for what a genuine nice human being he was, you can tell there wasn't a mean bone in his body, and that he loved his friends and family, let this be a lesson, don't wait to live your life, and always tell the people close to you that you love them, tomorrow isn't promised for any of us, skate on my friend
  • @keskeskester
    The good die young, but the great live on forever. Rest in peace, Lewis!

    He was so good for the longest I didn't know which stance he was. RIP to a true legend
  • @dompal007
    I have an autographed pair of Nike SBs that he gave me back in the day RIP
  • @kingkongprime
    I remember this little kid coming to Norrköping, Sweden and doing the most insane hardflips in a quarterpipe. I had no idea back then who he was and that was going to become one of the greatest skateboarder of all time. R.I.P Lewis, you always had a smile on your face, massive respect
  • @mbasazozi3119
    Soundtrack alone had me tearing up then seeing him smile Lord RIP Lewis
  • @jedel18

  • @owievisie

  • @lesfaul4924
    I had no idea. He was still killing it in 2010 when I got out of it. RIP
  • @mosmith3026
    Remember the first time I saw him in the Volcom vid with fellow Aussie DD killing it. Best frontside flip next to The Boss. Always with a smile and mad steez. You won't be forgotten. Respect
  • I want the shoes not for Nike but for memory of a truly inspiring human being
