Jesus, quoting Tim Pool like he's actually an authority

A 29-year old battering a load of kids in a comp is pretty based tho

The most offensive thing about all of this is that Taylor Silverman has been skating for 11 years.

cant believe people getting so bent out of shape over a couple hundred bucks

i think the sad thing here too is it just hurts everyone when you partake in these kind "outrages"
you get all these closeted bigots come out the woodwork who just couldnt wait to pile on "go compete with men!"
even if you feel that way, i dont really see what value that adds to the problem we are facing as a human race with men and womens sports segregation and gender identity not being black and white. it is hard to be inclusive without sacrificing the integrity of the competition people are so concerned about. it just bums people out when you add that stuff on.

yeah this case does not seem fair to me either but i dont look at that as an opportunity to smash someone, moreso it just tells me there is a problem here and i really dont know what the best solution is, but i do have some ideas that would hopefully be inclusive and  not sacrifice the integrity.

then also the winner of the contest probably feels like shit over what is a couple hundred bucks - they could have done without im sure - woudl have been better than to face the army of e-tards that their social medias are likely polluted with now. also probably hurts them getting on some new / bigger sponsors because they dont want the smoke (hoping someone has some sort of empathy and continues to hook them up though)

I chuckled at this.

But I guess, in the end, it's an AM contest and technically the 20-year olds are AMS.

The big problem is all the smiling in the redbull post. No more smiling in skating.

Skateboarding falls at such an odd section of this argument because a lot of the time age has no factor in how you place, and gender doesn’t either, but I’m sure if she’d have known all her competitors were 10+ younger she’d have skipped this contest

The biggest problem I see here is age difference.   Regardless of gender identity its asinine a 12 year old is skating against a 29 year old. 

I don't pretend to know the break down of numbers goes as far as contestants but it looks lie 2 outlying late 20 year olds that just needed a spot?    Maybe,  just maybe,  don't have them skating against someone half their size. 

I also find it kinda lame we have non-professional skateboarders arguing over getting paid at an amateur (if that?) contest.   Dangling a couple hundred bucks as a marketing ploy to get people to drink that poison is beyond gross.  I think I read the second placer Shiloh was cordial with the results and who entered but I'm referring to the last shit show.

A problem is as far as pros go in the women's it's basically the same thing of young teens vs older people but it's almost always going the other way. There would be almost no point splitting it into ages when ryassa and momiji etc are gonna win every time. I guess if the younger's are good enough they could qualify for the adults but then it's going to still end up all youngsters and just become divisions like soccer or something.

I know im gonna get attacked for this, i didnt see the contest or anything but the fact is it isnt fair, end of story. All of this is just too new, so trans skaters/athletes/people in general dont yet have all the facilities or mass to have their own category. 

For example, if this chick rips itd be sick to see her and leo baker go at it.

Shes cute too.

This is definitely something that skateboarding as a whole is adjusting to, and I'm sure that by the next Olympics (which is Ricci's big goal, having failed the T-levels check for the first Olympics) we'll see a little more balance.

However, Ricci isn't doing herself any favors by continuing to deny that skateboarding isn't a physical sport, and that she doesn't have an advantage—despite training up until 2 years ago when she began hormone therapy:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10962155/Trans-skateboarder-29-defends-beating-young-girls-competition.html

In this exclusive interview, Ricci says, "The whole physical aspect of skateboarding isn't really there. It's really the skill level. Any kind of advantage you get is determined by… commitment and determination."

Sure, skating is skill, but the skill you've honed for years as a biological man doesn't necessarily diminish once you begin hormone therapy, does it?

Fuck it, I'm canceled.

Fuk didn't we just have a month of this "skateboarding is a physical sport" shit. The Olympics medalists were literal children so stick those thoughts up your ass.


Also while I do think there's something shitty about an adult skating with the children what are you gonna do? There's no age brackets and I'm assuming you make your way at some cost to a contest only to discover you're the oldest what do you do? Just not enter? Yeah maybe if it's a one off but of it's all points and rankings etc you're kinda stuck in the situation so gotta just roll with it

Everybody slinging trash at this Ricci kid for competing against a child should take a moment to consider that it was the contest organizers that establish the categories under which competitors enter.
Had they designated a youth category & this woman had entered it as an adult, these critiques would have merit.
But blaming the competitor for how the completion was set up sounds… kinda dumb, maybe?
I mean: you sign up, pay your entry fee & wait until your turn to skate.
Some of y’all acting like this kid Ricci was personally hand selecting tiny, underdeveloped competitors to go up against.
There’s plenty of meat here for y’all to chew on: no need to pin the blame on the riders for the BOARDR’s decisions.

i simply would not enter an amateur skate contest at age 29, but that's just me.  only people I know that are still trying to enter contests, get sponsored, or "win the demo" (at that age) are grade-A kooks.  but i'm from a different era.  we're post olympics and i guess we gotta take skatepark kooks seriously now

Science confirms the advantage biological males have, skaters just wanna be woke with their pseudoscience peddling mental deficiencies. People saying it doesn't matter for this or that reason are just flat out wrong. Of course it fucking matters, especially competing at the top levels of any sport.

I can't handle these threads. It's one thing to want to be inclusive and be for trans rights, but it's another thing entirely to deny scienctific facts. You're no better than bible thumping Christians denying climate change and flat earthers.

Maybe if the way a skate comp works was like a decathlon of physical challenges high Ollie, a race, most stairs Ollied etc it would matter but it's not so it doesn't. Currently the top women skaters in the world arent even adults( In fact barely even teenagers) so it obviously isn't an issue.

My suspicion is that they don't want to find a middle ground. If they identify as women or men they want to be able to compete in their respective categories.

Yeah I highly doubt she thought "oh this comp is all children I could definitely win", much in the same way she probably didn't think "if I just change my gender I'll be able to win all the women's comps" as a lot of people like to imply about trans athletes

Going through male puberty is a competitive advantage for nearly all sports, no matter what your testosterone levels happen to be afterward. I think that's pretty objectively true.

It's also true that I don't really give a shit. Sports are entertainment.

And this is also the single semi-acceptable issue that transphobes lock onto as a shorthand for hating transpeople in general. The people who are simply icked out and bigoted about everything related to transpeople will latch on this issue to give themselves cover to spew hate. Before you whine about transpeople in sport you ought to consider that.

It especially doesn't matter in skateboarding. Contests are whack anyways. If you're mad, you should quit. Neil Blender basically won all contests decades ago when he started spray painting something in the middle of his run.

You can watch that Redbull Solus contest and see how she does- spoiler - her run is worse than most of the other women.

when I was 12 I would have laid waste to all in this type of contest. I was on my 7th year of daily skateboarding. I knew all the current tricks on street and in transition. I had enough switch tricks for am ‘92 no problem.

I don’t care about gender. I don’t believe it’s a factor. I’ve taught all my cousins and everyone else who wanted to be down with skateboarding. They all progressed the same as me. They just wasn’t about it like me.

Girls didn’t stick with it because they had no one to identify with. Girls don’t skate! That’s some system shit.

Girls should go for it.

People should chill. Those kids didn’t get robbed.

also if you got a brand or a team who you going to invest in?

Duh no brainer.

Rn there should be kids going for it with reckless abandon to take up all the team spots.

when I was 12 I would have laid waste to all in this type of contest. I was on my 7th year of daily skateboarding. I knew all the current tricks on street and in transition. I had enough switch tricks for am ‘92 no problem.

I don’t care about gender. I don’t believe it’s a factor. I’ve taught all my cousins and everyone else who wanted to be down with skateboarding. They all progressed the same as me. They just wasn’t about it like me.

Girls didn’t stick with it because they had no one to identify with. Girls don’t skate! That’s some system shit.

Girls should go for it.

People should chill. Those kids didn’t get robbed.

also if you got a brand or a team who you going to invest in?

Not to mention that the outrage for all of this is completely fake, the girl Shiloh Catori is on Insta being like "yeah i really dont care im in italy" so it's like who really gives a fuck besides names and numbers on social media

Do you think they'd feel better about getting beat by a 29 year old if they knew they had a vagina? By doing an all ages contest you're already allowing a massive disparity of physicality as-is

I read it more like they have every right to be bummed about being beaten by a 29-year old. Not trans skater.

It's like that scene in Billy Madison where Adam Sandler pulverizing elementary school kids with a dodge ball.

Then again, someone up top made a good point. Those 12 year olds who got 2nd and 3rd have more of a future than the 29 year old.

why dont we get someone who is actually trans to come up with an idea of what they think would be an inclusive middle ground?

ok, being trans i will offer the following solution: never have a skate contest ever again because contests are dumb and as someone already mentioned, neil blender showed us how seriously we should take them a long time ago.

That’s what I’m saying. Those are some grown ass adults in that bracket.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWHv_b5XwAA6-40?format=jpg&name=900x900)

A 29 year old no matter what gender / sex or any identity should have more integrity than to compete against literal 10 year olds. I’m not doubting that this was the only female division she could compete in on the day, but honestly as an adult surely you would just ask to be in the mens event (or any other division) that wasn’t against literal children.

This man child sits in his gamer dungeon in front of a camera and rambles about cultural issues that are essentially just a rehash of white supremacist prosperity gospel natural order bullshit; a complete myth and abstract human invention.

He has 700 million views.

The tagline of his channel is News, Beards & Spicy Memes.

Now he's talking about an amateur skateboarding competition that no skateboarders even give a shit about. And he's getting paid.

Peirs fucking Morgan took a break from his conversation with Anne fucking Robinson to speak about the plights of competing female skateboarders. I wonder what he truly thinks about skateboarding.

At what stage do we pack it in? Is it even possible to unplug ourselves from this? Is it worth trans suicides?

I think skateboarding needs to become 100% anti-competition. I can't bear to have another culture warrior advance their death cult agenda on the back of skateboarding.

Nah, skate contests were sick pre-1995 and a huge part of our culture.

Slam City Jam, Back to the City, Muenster, Prague, Newburgh Contest, the Sub Zero contest at Love in ‘94, CASL, NSL, Tampa Pro and Am and the Savannah Slamma even.

If you watched 411, the contest sections were always fun to watch.

Things got wack after the first X Games in Rhode Island.

on another note, I saw Ricci's entry in the Solus skate contest. She sucked compared to everyone else. Not sure why she was invited. Compare her to Eli Williams or Grayson, who walked into the park and landed every trick on the first go around of the park. Ricci fucked up every trick and then said "transition isn't my thing". It's not 2005 anymore, you are expected to be an all terrain as a pro skater.

Assuming they're not trans-phobic, it's surprising that skaters think being 29 is an unfair advantage in skateboarding. Especially in women's/girl's contests, sub 14 year olds dominate.

Even in men's/boy's contests, Koston and McKrank were outliers competing against preteens Nyah and Sheckler, and were pretty much pushed out by 31. Little kids dominate competitive skateboarding.

Not to be too cynical but I'd have to think some parent or whatever had the idea to make the video/what to say. Not saying it's not how they feel anyway but just for sake of it assuming they did feel different you'd have to assume theyd at least of seen what went on with Silverman and don't want any of that dead end shit show for themselves.

LOL I'm almost 10 years older than you. I had already been skating for years before you were born.


You ride Tracker trucks, since that's what Mother Transworld intended. Four satanic heshers with black fingernail polish show up at your local. "Skate And Create!" you yell and charge at them as you grab your Powell-Peralta hat and flight deck. You truck bash the first bastard, he's dead on the spot.

You throw a 65mm clay wheel with loose ball bearing hubs at the second hesher. Only one bearing grazes his ear because it's thrown with your arthritic hand and it nails a stray dog.

You smack the last scoundrel with your tail devil, as your board doesn't have a nose. He falls backward down the stairs "SHUT UP AND SKATE" you scream, as his body crashes down. The sound of his exploding skull sets off car alarms.

He bleeds out waiting on the locals to arrive at 5pm, but it's only 9am. As you only skate mornings.

That'd be cool if Shiloh Catori was raised with enough sensibility, confidence, poise and understanding to keep pushing forward and not go whining to a bunch of right-wing talking head losers outside of our culture.

Like, if my 13 year old daughter placed second and went up to the winner and said, "Big ups," and dapped her up and then skated around with her for a while, I would be such a proud father. That's character.

did you catch her IG response? it was actually pretty rad and she just basically said "hey Ricci rips and it's cool that she won, please don't be mean to her on the internet on my account, i'm glad she took 1st."

def haven't seen any evidence of her going to any right-wing outlets at this point. i'm actually pretty impressed with her ability (as a 13 year-old) to respond compassionately here. Taylor Silverman getting shown up by a literal child, both on the board and off
[close]
Not to be too cynical but I'd have to think some parent or whatever had the idea to make the video/what to say. Not saying it's not how they feel anyway but just for sake of it assuming they did feel different you'd have to assume theyd at least of seen what went on with Silverman and don't want any of that dead end shit show for themselves.

i mean, sure, that's possible or maybe even probable, but i guess i just don't really care if the result is the same. taylor silverman has parents too and either they never told her to not be a bigoted whining asshole or she ignored them when they did lol

fried enough to comment on a teenage girls conduct. o wait sike

I had no idea how Shiloh Catori reacted to getting second place when I wrote that and simply expressed my hope that she would handle it with more compassion and grace than Taylor Silverman. As it turns out, she conducted herself fantastically and displayed wisdom beyond her 13 years.

Listen, LIAHR, I'm gonna tell you this, and, hopefully, you can take it to heart because it seems a few ppl here really like you:

This little acid-trip, me-against-the-world, contrarian act you've been putting on lately is getting real contrived and tiresome.

Give up the non sequiturs and the devil's advocate retorts. Have a point. You don't need to type up and post every little thought that comes into your head and you think is clever. Spare us. Please. Spend a little more time absorbing what other ppl write and put it through a thought-process that allows you to digest it before you respond. Utilize discretion. Less is more, my guy. Maybe stop being so mean-spirited. It looks exceptionally bad when you try to posture that you are being mean to protect someone else.

Honestly, get yourself together because it's sad to watch. Nobody's impressed.

People had no problem with the age gap when 12 year olds were regularly wiping the floor with 27 year old taylor silverman.

just actually read the DailyMail piece on this, and I'm kind of shocked that Ricci would even agree to be interviewed by an outlet like that? they notoriously spew reactionary dribbel day in and day out and obviously this piece is no different, they were always going to cherrypick things she said and present them out of context to provide some rage fodder for the transphobes of the world. i can't imagine anything good has come from her doing that interview but maybe i'm wrong. hope she's doing okay through all of this, i'm sure it's really intense having so many people coming at you and probably sending really psycho messages. in the future i hope trans skaters that end up in this situation realize that talking to an outlet like DailyMail is going to be pretty harmful

What you’re describing sounds more like an experience bracket though, dunnit?
What if I had just started skating in the last year or so, but was 25 years old?
Should I still be allowed to compete with a 14 year old with 6+ years of skating under their belt?
People still spraying shame at the athletes when they should be blaming the comp itself.
Except for that Silverman character, who’s out there tarnishing the reputation of skateboarding Taylors everywhere by marshaling all the worst sentiments of human nature & shepherding them to the doorway of (wait for it…) this thing of ours: that lady can go fall off a perilously high, rocky escarpment, or precipice for all I care.

I think competitive sports should be reserved for people who identify as male or female, and nothing in between unless you are going to create a seperate category for that, OR clearly define the rules and just allow anyone to compete in any league they would like. so then people can just shut the fuck up about it and move on because i think it doesnt really affect anything if you did just allow it. i dont think a flood gate of trans male to female would start bodying womens sports.

People have brought up the fact that skateboarding is not like weight lifting or long jump in that you dont need extra muscles to do the tricks. Yet why is it that women, even in a non competitive environment, when given an unlimited amount of time, have never reached even close to the same level that men have in video parts?

There have been studies done to show that men are even better than women in competitive Scrabble. typically, women are much better than men are in literacy skilles, yet men are still able to dominate the tournament scene. it is because of the competitive nature that men have from savage apes, or at least that is the best hypothesis i have come to. if you think that mens and womens skateboarding level is comparable, you are only kidding yourself. i am not saying its not possible, but we are a long way away from that.

I do think at the end of the day, very few people would transition from male to female just to compete in an easier sports league, and also be successful. Even if their intentions were 100% genuine, I think those people will always deal with haters so long as the Male and Female categories remain in sports.

I really take issue with these middle paragraphs because I think these effects are more easily explained by social factors, not evolutionary ones. Women haven't had 'unlimited time' to skate at the same level as men, women's skating has only received really widespread support at the industry level in the last 15 years or so. It's been documented that women perform worse on tests/other scored tasks when they're being done in male-dominated environments and perform better in the presence of more women than men. Feeling like you're out of place/expected to perform worse than the men in a group negatively influences performance.
Skateboarding is just starting to reckon with how sexism plays out both in the industry and local scenes. Women that skate have to deal with misogyny from male skaters all the time, and that shit necessarily puts you on edge. When you're wondering if someone is gonna catcall or grope you at the park you can't be as focused on skating as you want to be. When I just skate with women, I don’t have to worry about any of that shit,  and I'm definitely more on my game.

I think competitive sports should be reserved for people who identify as male or female, and nothing in between unless you are going to create a seperate category for that, OR clearly define the rules and just allow anyone to compete in any league they would like. so then people can just shut the fuck up about it and move on because i think it doesnt really affect anything if you did just allow it. i dont think a flood gate of trans male to female would start bodying womens sports.

People have brought up the fact that skateboarding is not like weight lifting or long jump in that you dont need extra muscles to do the tricks. Yet why is it that women, even in a non competitive environment, when given an unlimited amount of time, have never reached even close to the same level that men have in video parts?

There have been studies done to show that men are even better than women in competitive Scrabble. typically, women are much better than men are in literacy skilles, yet men are still able to dominate the tournament scene. it is because of the competitive nature that men have from savage apes, or at least that is the best hypothesis i have come to. if you think that mens and womens skateboarding level is comparable, you are only kidding yourself. i am not saying its not possible, but we are a long way away from that.


I do think at the end of the day, very few people would transition from male to female just to compete in an easier sports league, and also be successful. Even if their intentions were 100% genuine, I think those people will always deal with haters so long as the Male and Female categories remain in sports.

I really take issue with these middle paragraphs because I think these effects are more easily explained by social factors, not evolutionary ones. Women haven't had 'unlimited time' to skate at the same level as men, women's skating has only received really widespread support at the industry level in the last 15 years or so. It's been documented that women perform worse on tests/other scored tasks when they're being done in male-dominated environments and perform better in the presence of more women than men. Feeling like you're out of place/expected to perform worse than the men in a group negatively influences performance.
Skateboarding is just starting to reckon with how sexism plays out both in the industry and local scenes. Women that skate have to deal with misogyny from male skaters all the time, and that shit necessarily puts you on edge. When you're wondering if someone is gonna catcall or grope you at the park you can't be as focused on skating as you want to be. When I just skate with women, I don’t have to worry about any of that shit,  and I'm definitely more on my game.

not that i disagree with you on the social aspect being important, but the post before your is based on the idea that 'you don't need muscles to do the tricks' which is dumb as fuck. some level of physical strength is required to skate at a "high" standard. tiago has incredible timing, but if you transferred his mind into my athlete's nightmare of a body, he/me is not going to be getting up on shoulder high ledges in any stance, let alone switch.

But the issue isn't can a standard female Ollie like tiago. Most males can't Ollie like tiago. Unless people are believing that top level male athletes are going to pretend to be female to beat females in skateboarding contests. There was just an Olympic qualifier yesterday you can pause at any time before someone gets onto any rail or ledge and the shit is mid shin height on a 12 year old girl. It was proved dozens of times all the females are plenty strong enough to skate the courses.

Tiago isnt even a good contest skater so he is a bad example. Its interesting that in skateboarding we actually have quantifiable events like SKATE and High Ollie contest, but we choose to latch on to "Style" for competitive skatebaording. and then ironically in street, the real athletes like reese forbes, tiago, tyshawn are typically celebrated.

lets look at Nigel. I dont think Nigel is particualrly atheltic to be honest. He just has an incredible sense of focus and timing imo. The only advantage I think he would have over the average woman is maybe he has is a thicker skull to survive some of those handrail beatings he has taken.

I think both evolutionary + societal factors play a part though. women have been playing tennis for like a hundred years and they are still pretty far away from men. that game does rely more on speed and strength though, but i think theres been a lot of "average" top player body types too. Even Serena who had a pretty optimal tennis body + upbringing had a hard time beating most men and flat out couldnt compete with the top.

Actually, one of the only examples I can think of where a woman successfully competed with men in the profession ranks is in downhill skateboarding.

...wait, excuse me, you think you're a scrable payer? Do you think you can win little lady? Do you think you can become a pro Scrabble player in an instant, as soon as you grow a cock'n'balls? Well, let me tell you how wrong you are, little girl. You can't just become a scrabble champ, you are BORN a scrabble champ. I grew up with my cock in one hand and my balls in the other. I have spent my entire adult life milking my prostate, as it is what I was meant to do as soon as I came out of the womb. I have faced discrimination and oppression worse than you could ever hope to experience. I have played, obsessed, raged over, and loved scrabble all my life, and if there's one thing that I know about Scrabble, it's that it is my RIGHT to be the BEST and should be treated as one. Sorry to break to you sweetie, but as far as I know, being a feeeemale is a complete joke, so get YOUR CASUAL NORMIE ASS OUT OF HERE RAWBIE!
