One for Basti | Mark Frölich | MOB GripForever in Our Hearts – Bastian Loewen – 20.09.1976 - 26.06.2021 Mark Frölich drops in with an epic part dedicated to his close friend Basti. As written by Mark Frölich: "Basti was like a brother to me, with whom I and many others spent a time in our lives that we will never forget (BCN 2006-2011), a time that he also called one of the happiest in his life. I was with him the day that he figured out that he was gonna be a father. After congratulating him and letting the little bit overwhelmed Basti digest what he just heard, we talked about how he was gonna handle this situation since his back then girlfriend lived in Germany. At the time he was going back and forth a lot but still had a room in Barcelona. He decided he was gonna move back to Germany to build a life with them over there. While I was obviously sad for him leaving, I understood that it was the right thing for him and his family to do. We always kept in touch, went to visit each other whenever we could and luckily our paths would cross again and again anyways through skateboarding. It was amazing for me to see how much he focused on being a good family man while staying just the same way he ever was. While him leaving us was and is still a heavy pill to swallow I feel that Basti leaves behind a lot for us that can't be taken away. I can remember his laughter, his humor, his straightforward personality and his big heart as if he was standing in front of me. The influence he had on my life and many others will last forever and I will never forget the many times he helped me out in life. Basti was a very social person, knew many people and was always down to make things happen. He had a Band called “Iron Skull“ (one of the songs used in this video), did the Carhartt Europe-skate-team online management for almost 15 years, opened a wheel brand back then called Messerschmitt-wheels with some homies
