decades of seriously heavy alcohol/drug abuse, loss of a child, cte… all those add up and it’s really sad. he’s had quite a few meltdowns, even ranting conspiracies about tony hawk & or his dad. then he’ll be okay & praise tony hawk in a documentary & get emotional, then go right back to it later. tony has addressed it and still praised duane but is obviously confused/worried about the guy despite how crazy of shit he’s sad about him. the guy has serious mental problems & it’s very sad. despite how old you are or aren’t.. dude invented a lot of tricks & didn’t just do them, he did them the best you could do them. his fs rock is untouchable. it sucks to see someone who did so much for skateboarding & was so fun to watch go downhill time & time again but at this point it feels like a lost cause. hopefully he can find whatever help he needs.
