Tyson Bowerbank

No stranger to the scene, Tyson Bowerbank has been popping on and off the radar for more than two decades now. Wondering why he hasn’t had more of a consistent presence since his three-year X Games Am Street wins 2013-’15? Hear it from him. In his “Portraits” feature on ThePlatfrm.com he’s candid about the mental health struggles that derailed his skateboarding career after already being 20 years into it. “Losing my sponsors was one of the best things that happened to me. I’m enjoying it a lot more, I feel like I’m skating better, and that’s the goal: just to enjoy it.” Back on the board and sponsored by Ryan Decenzo’s new brand, 2Cents Skateboards, Tyson is right where he belongs.
