THE DEEP REST TOUR
JOHN GARDNER AND DC PRESENT THE DEEP REST TOUR, A SKATE TOUR ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH IN THE SKATEBOARD COMMUNITY.
The DEEP REST TOUR is the natural continuity of John’s mission to shine a light on suicide and mental health awareness within the skate community, started in 2021 with his documentary This Too Shall Pass . In it, John opens up about his own mental health struggles and experiencing suicidal thoughts. John talks about how he uses meditation, breathing, and skateboarding to help deal with depression.
In spring 2023, John is coming to Europe to meet with the skate community in France, Spain, and the U.K to share his own experience and give tools and tips to help manage mental health. Come and meet, talk and skate with John at your local skateshop and skatepark.
