John Rattray is a skateboarder and advocate for mental health awareness, using his voice to enact positive change and help open up the conversation about suicide prevention in skateboarding and elsewhere.
This year, for his WhySoSad? fundraising mission, John rode his bike over 100 miles and vowed to learn a proper Sad Plant. After following along with his amazing journey we had to get involved. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these boards and shirts, with art by Jon Horner, will go directly to the WhySoSad? fundraising efforts.

Ishod and Kyle have done a lot of miles together and somewhere in those miles the idea to share a video piece became reality. From the first trips to calling the shots on the final cuts… They ran with it and made it happen. Traveling, skating and filming with your friends – It’s the way it’s supposed to be. Be Free.

2019 was a good year, especially for Jack Olson. He turned pro, not once, not twice but three times! To celebrate we lurked through his instagram and put together a mega mix of the clips that went straight to the gram.
