The murder of Kostya “Switch” Mash was commented on by one of the best skateboarders in the Russian Federation and a friend of the deceased, Denis Markhasin.
When he skated, he was a very good skateboarder, a professional one. He and I went to Barcelona for a competition about 13 years ago.
Konstantin Balishansky was the top skater of the Nike SB Russia team. It was sponsored by Freestyle Dist and Elwood. He received the nickname “Switch” because he learned the switch technique – this is when an athlete rides in a mirrored stance, which is atypical for himself.
