Anton Fricker 1986-2009
At the bottom of a run he came off his board and fell. His head took the full force, knocking him out. Emergency services were immediately called and Anton was rushed to hospital. He is currently on life support, while his family and friends say goodbye. It is expected that life support will be removed in the next few days. A funeral service and memorial will be announced.
Anton was wearing a helmet. This is a tragic accident. ASRA asks its members to refrain from posting speculation or unecessary questions regarding this accident. A sudden death stirs up a lot of emotion. His family acknowledges how important ASRA and longboarding were to his life. We encourage you to post up your memories and stories about Anton. We would like this to be a tribute and celebration of Anton's life, that it may help with the grieving process. He has been a big part of ASRA over the last 12 months; a creative force that inspired and motivated many of us. His Skate Australia videos will be a lasting tribute to an amazing man.
Vale Anthony Fricker

Nice guy, made me laugh. It's been said, he was always smiling and having a good time. Really saddens me.
My heart goes out to the family and friends who were lucky enough to know him better than I did.

My heartfelt sypmathy to Antons family and Friends. I met Anton once at the car park session for the big skate weekend. Everyone had gone home to be ready for the down hill the next day and he new I did not get many chances to get out for a Skate with others. He stayed around a bit longer and talked with Gabrielle(I think), and we skated some more. He really made that night for me by staying longer. Thanks Anton. We will miss you stoke

Tragic news. I have only spent a small amount of time with Anton but felt like we were good friends. He was very easy to talk to and I cant remember a time when he wasn't smiling! He was doing wonderful things for longboarding in Aus and I know that he will be missed and remembered always. RIP ANTON
