Forbes hey, well if he is happy with how the article came out than I am happy for him.

I like Brandon Turner, seems like a good dude

Full part in Forbes, yet another major hammer by Big B!

For a non-related publication this is actually a pretty good, well-informed article. I enjoyed it.

"That 39-year-old pro skater Brandon Turner—a former child prodigy who struggled with substance abuse for years, infamously jumped off a bridge, got hit by a car and spent time in jail."

I'm pretty sure he accidentally fell of the bridge after running from the cops and the author is making it seem like he tried to kill himself. This is a good example of mainstream media misinformation.

Brandon Turner seems to be having a pretty good year. Glad to see things have turned around for him.


Off topic:
1) Who was it that accidentally fell off the highway overpass because he hopped over the concrete barrier and didn't notice there wasn't anything on the other side of the concrete barrier?

2) "Joe Carr, CEO of Thrill One Sports and Entertainment, the parent company of Street League Skateboarding (SLS). "
What the fuck is going on with SLS? Who actually owns that piece of shit and how are they keeping the lights on? (Oh, man if 2021 gets cancelled someone is going to have to pump some serious money into it to keep it going for another few years.)

3) Overall, good mainstream article, but "you realize that improbable has never been a part of his vocabulary" is horribly cliche.

believe me, if they could’ve sensationalized a suicide attempt i’m sure they would have- idk if you know what “infamous” means but it’s not the same as “famous”
