SWITCH John RattrayJohn is a former professional skateboarder from Aberdeen, Scotland. In his early twenties John rode for the legendary Blueprint Skateboards, before moving to California where he joined the handrail chomping, gap slaying crew over at Jamie Thomas’, Zero Skateboards. A decade passed, filled with video parts, tours, signings, photos and interviews, before John’s sister tragically took her own life. This event prompted him to quit being a pro skater. In 2017, 6-years after his sister passed — when the searing, gut-wrenching pain of losing someone that close to you had finally settled a little — Rattray embarked on an annual fundraising quest for mental health in memory of his sister, Katrina. He joined us for the first ever SWITCH panel to share his thoughts on skateboarding's role in mental health, programming and social advocacy.
