Remembering Keenan Milton on the 18th Anniversary of His Passing

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 18 years since Keenan Milton passed. The fact that he’s still actively talked about in skateboarding today is a testament to his influence on the culture. His legacy is an integral part of the narratives in Gino Iannucci and Scott Johnston’s episodes of Mission Statement. And if he were alive, he would likely be paying us a visit at Mona Liza for his own episode at some point. Given that, we would be remiss not mention him here on the anniversary of his passing. Revisit the Chocolate Epicly Later’d episode that focuses on Keenan and his Mouse extras below.
