Sacramento,CA : Vashon Island crash kills beloved videographer on August, Thursday 31th 2017

Professional skateboarder Cory Kennedy, whose feats have been widely documented in skateboarding magazines, films and competitions, is being investigated for vehicular homicide following a deadly crash on Vashon Island.

Kennedy, 26, who grew up in Lake Stevens, was allegedly driving under the influence of intoxicants late Wednesday when he crashed into a guardrail and tree on Vashon Island, killing one passenger and injuring a second. A judge Friday found probable cause for vehicular homicide and released Kennedy on personal recognizance.


A second court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.

Kennedy has not been charged.

The passenger who was killed has been identified by friends as videographer Preston “P-Stone” Maigetter, 45. Maigetter worked for Thrasher Magazine and knew just about everyone in the business, said Sam Smyth, the manager for Kennedy’s team at Girl Skateboards.

His regular segment, Bru-Ray, was one that people in the tight-knit community looked forward to. “It’s sad that there will never be another Bru-Ray,” Smyth said.

“Everyone knows and loves him. Everybody was touched by him. It’s horrible,” he said.
