BEN RAEMERS AND THE BEN RAEMERS FOUNDATION

Ben asked to ride for Slam City as he wanted to get involved in the shop where he spent so much time hanging out.

In April 2018, he put together a welcome clip with ease at one of his favourite spots, Tottenham DIY. We’re all grateful for the time we spent with Ben and were devastated by the news that he had taken his life in May 2019, aged just 28.

Many of us here at Slam spent a lot of time with Ben and had no idea of his inner turmoil. We all wish, as many do, that we could have done more, or seen the signs. The Ben Raemers Foundation was set-up in his name to create awareness of mental illness and the wellbeing of the skateboard community, to stop this ever happening again.

‘Skating and Talking’, a film profiling Ben’s life and the work of The Ben Raemers Foundation was released on marking November 4th 2021, marking what would have been Ben’s 31st birthday. Please take some time to watch the film, remember Ben and reach out to loved ones if they or yourself need support.

He was a shining light, an inspiration to so many and will never be forgotten.

Ben, we all miss you everyday.
