i skate for 30 years and out of a crew of 30 guys 5 killed themselves over the years. i think neurodiversity is a big topic in skateboarding. out of the 30 guys 25 have adhs, which leads to a lot of problems if it´s not adressed.
Thank you for this piece. It was insightful and nuanced. I really appreciate how you took a ‘many-different-factors’ approach to addiction, instead of just taking old ‘skaters-party-too-much’ route.
So, so, so fucking good! Thank you for another banger!!!
