Overload skate shop owner lost house in fire, here’s how you can help

Brian Kelly has been holding down the San Diego skate scene since the Street Machine days, basically since forever. He’s an epic dude, a family man, and a lifelong ripper in his own right—peep his 40-year old video part!

Recently his family took a hit when their house burned down. Luckily the family and dogs weren’t harmed, but the Kelly family is in a rough spot, looking for a new home, not to mention Brian’s collection of skate VHS tapes, decks, shoes, clothes and more were damaged in the fire.

„Hello San Diego friends and family,

On Sunday night, December 15th, Brian Kelly and his family came home to find their house in Chula Vista had been destroyed by a fire.

Due to the fire, Brian, Chloe, their 3 year old son and the family dog have lost most of their belongings, but more importantly a place to live just before Christmas.

In effort to provide a place to stay for their family and basic essentials in this time of need, we are asking for any donations possible. Anything helps, thank you in advance for all of your support.

The Kelly Family“

Anything you can do to help Brian would be amazing. He’s helped out countless skateboarders far and wide, so it’s our turn to return the favor. We take care of our own. Thanks everyone. 

From Brian’s IG: „These past 5 days have been some of the hardest in my life. I’m trying to come to terms with what happened and let go of what I cannot change. What happened with the fire was tragic but what is happening with the outpouring of support is amazingly unbelievable. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has supported, donated, reached out, helped spread the word and kept myself and my family in your thoughts. It’s been very overwhelming and I am so grateful for all of you. I love you ❤️“
