    The pressure he was under with Girl & Lakai had to be stopped, he also lived in a city where everyone was doing blunt slides down a 10 stair handrail & he was doing ollies over railings. He could never openly be his own type of skater so he hated everything & His dad wasn't helping since he seems to bug him a lot, i like to think that they do love each other, but idk. Nonetheless, he's in NYC now and he has Call me 917 & bianca chandon being successful brands. He seems a lot happier now but who knows, & tbh i dont really care just as long as he keeps doing no complies & making clothes, I'm happy.

    Yo Alex you gotta cool ass dad... I know I never lived with him but always be grateful for your father and having him in your life cause I just lost my father a few weeks ago on Easter and as much as he drove me crazy at times I'd give ANYTHING to have him back... I wish my father was a pro skater and "unschooled" me with regular boring school but could've taught me how to skate... Anyway just be grateful for your father cause to me he seems like a pretty awesome guy and he was and always will be an awesome skater so bottom line enjoy him while he's around cause some day just like all of us he'll be gone and you'd give ANYTHING to have him back.. Keep shredding bro..

It is difficult, challenging, painful and possible... through healthy accountability, sacrifice and a healthy support network, guidance, acknowledgement of a higher power and faith...
