The sad news of Flatland Fugitive, Leo Dumlao passing away hits hard this morning, Leo made a massive impact on the flatland world during the 90’s. 

His great video parts on the Flatland Fugitive and S&M videos spring to mind, what really stands out to me were the multiple ice cream flips that are now over 20 years later prominent in the Japanese scene right now, this concept came from Leo.

Thinking of all the close family and the flatland community.

Good friend and fellow Edgar Plascencia had this to say on his socials: 

“My brother and I met Leo in 1991 among a group of riders from the Buena Park area. He would drive us to Lakewood Mall, Cal-State LA, Venice Beach. He was always down to ride and he always made us laugh! Throughout the years we watched each other grow and improve. I watched a his section in the S&M 4 video today. He was awesome. He even went to the World’s contest (I think, in Germany) Life takes us in swerving pathways. I’m thankful to God for the time I got to spend with Leo.”

Rest in peace Leo. ❤️
