71988Westernstarevin-WebCanadian Emerica team rider and Black Russian Skate Shop owner Josh Evin, 29, died early June 13, 2010 after he “failed to negotiate a turn” and “flipped his motorcycle into Kootenay Canal” in Nelson British Columbia, Canada according to a story in the Castlegar News.

“It looks the like the motorcycle was going too fast to negotiate the corner,” says Inspector Henry Paivarinta with the Nelson Police Department. . . The motorcycle’s passenger was able to swim to shore, but an extensive shoreline search by Nelson Police, B.C. Ambulance, Beasley Search and Rescue and representatives from B.C. Hydro failed to locate Evin.

Evin’s body was eventually found and recovered yesterday (Monday, June 14, 2010) by a RCMP dive team. Our thoughts are with Evin’s family and friends.
