Brandon Turner continues to use his platform for more than just skateboarding, and it’s super inspiring to see. In a recent appearance on Fox 5 San Diego, Turner spoke candidly about the dangers of fentanyl, his own journey through recovery, and the importance of showing up for the community—on and off the board.
He also spoke about his upcoming Go Skateboarding Day event at the Linda Vista Skatepark on June 21 from 10-2pm. Expect tons of skateboarding, giveaways, cash for tricks, and more importantly, tons of great free mental health resources.
