Ben Raemers was one of the new faces of enjoi in the early 2010s, turning pro in 2014 with heavy sponsors including Independent Trucks and Converse. Sadly in 2019, he took his own life at the age of 29. I was very ecstatic to see one of his pro boards listed online and will definitely be keeping this one for a long time.
Within his am/professional career, he left behind a legacy as one of UK's best international skaters gracing the cover of Thrasher Magazine on three occassions and The Ben Raemers Foundation which is aimed to end stigma and raise awareness to mental health issues.
For anyone struggling with mental health issues, I encourage you to please seek help. You are not alone in that battle.
