Chris Barrett and Dave Beveridge Element ESP tribute boards We are extremely humbled and grateful to be able to present these Chris Barrett and Dave Beveridge Element ESP tribute boards to honour the lives of our two friends. Both Dave and Chris were deep members of the Black Sheep family who left us too soon. Thanks to our friends at Element for the chance to create these Chris Barrett and Dave Beveridge Element ESP tribute boards. Mental health is an issue that was rarely discussed in our collective scenes until fairly recently, but thanks to the awareness raised by the work of charities like The Ben Raemers Foundation and Mind, there is now a space for people to feel comfortable talking about these matters. Both Chris and Dave were integral members of both our local scene and of the national BMX and skate scenes and their passing has left a huge hole in all of our hearts. For those who knew them both, these Chris Barrett and Dave Beveridge Element ESP tribute boards will make sense in terms of the huge contributions that both made to our shared cultures. For those not lucky enough to have been personally touched by either Dave or Chris - please watch the tribute videos below to get a little taste of what they were about. These Chris Barrett and Dave Beveridge Element ESP tribute boards come in at 8.25" wide (just like Chris would've ridden). All proceeds from the sales of this deck go directly to the Mind Mental Health Charity to help raise further awareness of mental health issues in an attempt to give people the confidence to both ask for help and to ask their friends if they need it. The graphics are by Tom J Newell and the boards come with a medium Element concave which ought to suit all tastes. We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone involved in making these Chris Barrett and Dave Beveridge Element ESP tribute boards happen. We are incredibly honoured to be able to do this for two beautiful human beings that we loved dearly. Talk to your friends. Don't be afraid to ask for help. One love.
