The Skateboard Graveyard’s history plausibly began in 1999 with the brutal murder of Timothy Baxter, a 24 year old university graduate and skater who was killed in in a vicious attack on the bridge by 6 teenagers. It is known that his board was thrown from the bridge shortly before he himself was. This seems however to be a widely forgotten attack and it is unknown as to whether his board (if it did indeed land on the platform) was followed by others as tributes from fellow boarders. It is certainly a graveyard with rich local history, sociocultural importance, and like many others, has even seen it’s fair share of desecration.
