Tyson Bowerbank is a genuine powerhouse. On the board, a total powerhouse of ability both technical and of impact. Off the board, he is a truly genuine individual—a quality that has described him his entire life. But that’s only the beginning of his story.
Over the years Tyson has struggled on and off the board, as well. Between picking up sponsors, chasing the dream of someday turning pro, realizing the dream and then watching it slip away—it’s enough to drive anyone away. Then you tack on the rest of what life has in store for you and who knows where you net out. Tyson opens up about his own bouts with mental illness and the toll it took on his ability to chase his dream.
That’s when family and friends came into play. For Tyson it was both. With the constant support of a tight family, it was after his friend Ryan Decenzo reached out and offered a second chance that the fire reignited.
Tune in to hear it all from Tyson Bowerbank direct. He is as genuine now as the first day he stepped foot onto a board. But it’s the way he has changed that has him skating stronger and prepared for the future.
