Been a fan of Cher's music and skating for a while and happy to see more trans folks getting acknowledged. Found out about Marbie Princess and honestly, she's such a babe and I'm in love and just wanted to proclaim my faggot romance for her in this here appreciation thread god bless.

Marbie is sick. I really enjoy watching her skate.
-
calling people sick queers isn't cool you could have used dope or rad or literally any word besides sick
-
sick should be reserved for things/people that are obviously fucked in the head like me and clint walker
-
that being said that adrien bulard guy is almost certainly gay and he backtailed el toro

Everybody loves Keegan Mccutchen footage :-)

I'm queer and trans so I'll use whatever language i want for my own community without the language policing bb but i appreciate the sentiment of wanting to use validating language.

Cheers. My next board purchase is a There 8.25 but they sell out quickly. That's a happy problem on my end though - I want them to be as successful as possible.

do you mind if I call you a regular faggot?

Very true. Not sure where you're based but I'm sure they have em available at Queer Skate days once they start back up. Designs are so sick though.

randomly stumbled across Arin's IG and it blew my mind.
Great style.

She fucking rips!! Lot of idiots talk shit on her in Houston but she’s the truth

Yeah, I didn't hear about her until someone else posted on slap which is wild! She's so good and I love that she doesn't over post herself on social media. It makes her way more cool in my eyes.
-
She's also very well spoken. I dig her skating.

Marbie pro in 2020/2021 for There, calling it here.

Nora is not - sorry to disappoint. She has a boyfriend in Hawaii I believe.

Theyre was a gay pro named Jared something at slam city, ripping but he was throwing up in the bathrpom which was sick. Yah ed templeton said Jared wasnt good in the doc Reda did. He seemed good to me. I saw Ed skate once, that was pretty fucking impressive.

Cool thread. Some fun clips on IG.
Unity/There seems to be getting a lot of traction. what are some other brands like that/scenes in other cities/places?
-

Considering the source, I wouldn't mind in the least. But for fuck's sake will you learn how to quote? There's nothing difficult about it.
Keagan is so rad. Stylish as hell and amazing skills. And James is incredible. Great thread!

I'll post this here for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Love y'all cuties.

For anyone who doesn't already know... Hillary Thompson is pretty sick! I dont know what she is up to these days. She used to post on here, right? Under Mizzark or something like that?
I really like this photo from the Jenkem interview:

I believe she went under the name strangefires but unfortunately focused. I hope she's doing well, she was far ahead of her time.
-
Hillary is so gnarly. I hadn't thought of her in a while and I'm embarrassed to admit that. So, so good. And a real sweetheart as well from the very limited interaction I had with her.

I nominate Stevie Shakes. He was getting Unity boards, I believe.
https://vimeo.com/2443324
Pretty sure Stevie works at Supreme SF now. One of the nicest people I've ever met. I think he destroyed his leg/knee awhile ago and doesn't skate that much anymore, but he's always had some fantastic backside flips and half cab flips, and a great style.
Case in point - this one from 2009:

wooooooah look at the fits!
-
Whoa Stevie is rad. Got a great backside flip!
-
Hillary changed name and did that backside heel at emb in blessed.
I’m pretty sure anyway
-
I haven’t been on Instagram in almost 5 years and I feel like that could be why I haven’t heard of any of these folks. True rippers! “There” seems sick, might have to try one out!

That was Cher Strauberry
They’re both very rad

He got injured last year right before the Unity mini-tour from Oakland to SD. They said he wasn't going to be able to skate again but happy to say he's been skating a little bit recently. We played skate a couple of weeks ago, and he was flipping his board, which was rad to see. He's an awesome, talented person.
Also, Tris, Marbie, Chandler, & James rule. <3 Every one in this thread rips! Glad to see people hyped on There as well.
A few more names/instagrams:
Kat @blackholekitty
Dana @shaghumanity
Preston Poole @creolekiid
Yann Horowitz @horoblitz

I've met Yann Horvitz in London a few years back, he's savage!!!

New guest pro model for Cher! I'm beyond stoked for this one to come out, she's a true ripper and a genuine sweetheart.

That synchronized nose blunt slide action is from the ‘Ridge BART skurbs. The Unity sessions there are always popping.
