Brandon Turner, born 1981 or 1982, was a youth prodigy skateboarder.[1] Also known as "Lil B",[2] Turner rode with Chad Muska's Shorty's group and came of age during a time of lavish excess for skateboarding, including alcohol and drugs. Following some injuries and time in prison, Turner went through a period of recovery.[3] After turning sober in the late 2010s, he began teaching Pilates, mentoring in addiction recovery programs, and returned to skateboarding in what The New York Times called "an impressive late-career renaissance".[1]
