Most companies gonna try to recruit their own lgbtq/people of color now. With supreme backing it... Baker/deathwish already ahead of all companies. Personally I’m tired of watching videos of good white people skate, shit is just so boring. Bianca/917/Olson never truly came through for any queer skaters At all, it was all bullshit and that’s why everyone is jumping ship. People in the industry will scram for Minority riders eventually and they’ll all be hooked up.
god I hope not. I don't think minorities where ever a trend in skateboarding. If they where it it must have been before my time. Where they under represented? Yes! but I can't recall an era where it felt like teams where putting on a black guy just to round out the roster of white dudes, like they are with women, atm. If the industry treats LGBTQ like a trend, or a quota, then that just means that they're gonna drop them when the trend dies, leaving them high and dry.
what women have boards out on major brands? Elissa, Samaria, Lizzie, Sky, Leticia, Alexis? Am I missing anyone? True meow sort of feels the gap but if you look at the top "Pro" women in transition and street, half of them don't even have a board sponsor. Jenn Soto wasn't in call waiting and She's not even on the primitive website.
Glue, Unity & There, need to hold it down, cause when brands get tired of showing how inclusive they are by flowing instagramers, these kids are going to need something real to look up too.
