Unbalanced: A Life of Schizophrenia and Skateboarding is available now on Amazon KDP containing a raw and sensitive account of how Jason went to the edge and back.

I just finished reading your book. Your story kept my attention from the first to the last page. Wishing you much success in distributing it to the many individuals who would benefit from reading it. Your struggles with mental illness and the way you've overcome obstacles that come with that are inspiring. Stay passionate about your skateboarding/art/family/friends!

Jason, this is Dylan from back in the day. I hope hope you remember me. You are one of the best skaters I have ever skated with, so much skill and style. If you have never skated with Jason you are missing out. I always wish I could have been on your level. I always had much respect for your skill. Keep pushing. Hope you are well and happy. Much love brother!

I remember you Dylan! You had the most fun little quarter pipe. Good times. Thanks for the shout!

I've been doing the same for over twenty years. Nice to see I am not the only one.
