How Mental Illness Derailed the Career of a Promising Young Skateboarder

 


Paul Alexander was a young British skateboarder full of charisma and drive. He discovered the opportunities of sponsorship, travelling and recognition during a move from Leicester to Bristol in his late teens. Living with professional skateboarder Danny Wainwright he became engulfed in the fun, responsibility free lifestyle that came with his chosen pursuit of becoming a pro skateboarder. Paul seemed destined for success then something came to get him, something he’d never experienced before that would take his personal goals and freedom far away from his grasp in a seemingly never ending battle. This is his story, directed by friend and skateboarding companion Tim Crawley.

Scotty Cranmer- WINDY DAY AT FREEDOM SKATEPARK!

Drove down to freedom skate park in Medford, New Jersey just the big boy and myself and we were planning to meet up with Jared. The day started off with big boy playing his Didgerieoo in the parking lot and singing a song about a beautiful summer day here in May! Next we started to make our way to the skate park and big boy no only had his BMX bike but also his skateboard. It was really windy outside one of the windiest days we ever rode a skate park not only does make it hard to film but it makes it very dangerous to ride your bike, but that didn’t scare big boy from getting a flair challenge in straight away! Text of big boy jumped on his skateboard and decided to give that a try and he actually learned a new trick have to do a board slide on the skateboard! Finally Jared joined us he rolled into the skate park parking lot with his Mazda speed 3 that has 300 wheel horsepower! Jared got straight to work by doing crazy technical tricks that only Jared can do! Next up I challenged big boy to try a backflip out of the concrete bowl and he was terrified but eventually he tried it and got it! He also got redemption on me bunny hop over the wooden railing that he crashed on the first time we came to this skate park! After the boys were done riding Jared to big boy for a ride in his Mazda to show big boy how fast it is! Big boy loved it! We had so much fun riding the skate park and we are definitely coming back this summer!
