Brandon Turner and Brandon Novak are two skaters who really have been through it all when it comes to drugs and alcohol. We’ve all seen them go in and out of recovery, and heard about various near-death experiences as a result of their usage.
Now, they are both living clean and have come together to create a support phone line that they hope skaters will feel comfortable using if they ever feel like they need help managing their mental health or drug use.
We spent a day with them during National Recovery Month as they skated around the city and offered their energy and support to anyone who felt they needed it.
If you ever find yourself in a position where you feel like you have nobody to talk to, just remember they’re now available to you and help is only a call away: (858) 249-9033

I don’t like Novak. Sorry not sorry. He thinks he’s too cool. Tatted up, skinny, hip clothes. He’s what Bam always wanted to be. Good that he got clean, but dude seems like a tool. Maybe I’m just jealous. Lil B is the best tho.
