Jack Ader

Hi, I'm Jack Ader and I live in New York City. I have been skateboarding since 2017, and it has grown to become one of my biggest passions. At the beginning of high school, I found myself spending my free time skating, and creating short skate edits with my friends. Soon after, when I realized I'd reached the point of obsession, I began to wonder: is there something more to this?

I started researching the brain science behind skating, and what I found was a severely under-recognized and often stigmatized opportunity for people to improve their mental and physical health. So now, I'm setting out to create a documentary that will further explore and highlight these findings.
