Sam Lammond Obituary

Sam Lammond, who has died aged 33, became one of the World's best-known and popular skateboarders, mainly through his long running presence in MTV's 'Skateboarding Calamities' and various other Thrasher Skateboarding Magazine gems; he also became famous for catching the very first sasquatch at the age of 32.
Ever enthusiastic and cheerful, the incredibly talented Lammond would get up on stage infront of audiences of up to a million people and present to them his choices of the 25 most ridiculous, funny or just painful skateboarding mishaps and tumbles that had occurred throughout the year and allowed the viewers at home to vote on which was the best. The winner was granted a prize fund of £100,000 and was interviewed on Lammonds' radio talk show the following week.
To this, as to all of his broadcasting and sasquatch hunting work, Lammond brought huge global appeal, energy and endless reserves of enthusiasm, albeit not-so-well contained. His television credits ranged from the sedate Christmas with Sam Lammond on BBC Three to guest appearances on shows such as The Simpsons and Late Night Sasquatch Hunting.
In Thrasher Magazine, Lammond was the author of many great articles such as the weekly Skateboarding Horoscopes and Skateboarder of the Month. In his later years at the magazine he interviewed people such as Chris Cole, Manny Puig and Luan Oliveira. He was a wise investor of his earnings: he owned a mansion in Los Angeles and worked on cars in his spare time.
Samuel Jacob Lammond was born on March 7th 1997 in Cheltenham, the son of a Welsh TV cameraman. His mother worked part time at the father's business and his sister was just a year and a half older than him.
Educated at St Brendans College and KLB school, Sam got his first job as his father's assistant part time, but later developed his skills as a writer by writing extreme sports magazine articles for a small magazine named Aftershock. In 2015, at the age of 18, Sam was interviewed on The One Show for his articles. This brought him to the attention of Thrasher Skateboard Magazine.
He wrote his first article for Thrasher that year named 'Skateboarding Calamities'. Every week he would write an article including 2 videos and readers would vote for the best one. He did this up until the age of 25, when MTV approached him and offered him an annual show based on his 'Skateboarding Calamities' article.
He carried on doing his article and show when, in 2029 aged 32, Sam was hunting in the woods with his close friend Dan and spotted the sought-after urban myth - the sasquatch. This was the last big impact Sam Lammond was to have in the world, meeting his unfortunate early fate at the young age of 33.
Samuel Jacob Lammond, born March 7th 1997, Died September 6th 2030.
