queer skaters talking about queer shit

[GAY]

Been lurking since skateboardrumors.com got the brick, and TYMB was my safe space. Started HRT the other day, it's crazy how much SLAP and myself have changed and progressed over the years. The positive influence on me of the board accepting and embracing people like post-transition Hillary and GAY can't be understated in getting me to the happiest and most stable I've ever been. Love you all.

Hey! Welcome! Wonderful to read your post. I have yammered on about it a lot here, but yeah the acceptance from the community here has been life-affirming on a level I didn't expect. Please post more throughout the forum feedmeastraysat. I wish I had a stray sat to feed you.

Hey all,

Glad to see this thread on here. I'm new to the messageboards and don't know how much I'll be using it to be honest. I'm a lifelong queer skater from the West Coast of the U.S. and living part time outside of the country now. Mostly I'm an artist now but I used to teach skating to kids as my day job before I committed to art full time, now I just get as much in as I can while I'm traveling. I'm happy to see so much progression in skateboarding both in skill and accessibility, especially in the last decade or so. I'm in my 30s and I've been around long enough to remember the golden age of street skating not being so great for some folks, particularly in the 90s and early 2000s.

Thanks for keeping space for queer skaters!

seems like a half-dead topic but hi, 35F trans woman, hmu if you're in NYC and want to skate with someone that sucks shit at skateboarding after not skating for a decade.

Damn it I wish I was in New York so I could meet up with you. I'm terrible these days. Old man hours, for sure. Stoked you're posting here thetrashisright.

Yeah, it's a big bummer you aren't! It seems like there's some different queer meetup kind of things happening... mostly younger than me though. It's been fun checking different parks out. Enjoying being back out there.

Just watched it. Liked it a lot...just really wish all videos would stop with the bro hugs (there is a lot in this one).

[emotional_degloving]

Love this thread. Love y'all. Gets me through the day.

[caked]

love you all and really stoked on how gay skateboarding has become. we still have a long way to go, but I'm proud to be a queer skater most days.

Trans girl skater checking in

Skated from age like, 9 to 18ish, fell off for about 13 years aside from once in a blue moon nostalgia session but restarted in 2020 at age 31 and still goin strong.

Reiterating probably a lot of other posts that I would have never felt even remotely safe and comfortable being out in skating back then and now it’s basically a nonissue.

Nice to meet y’all/I love you

Biexual dude here, Scotland UK. Never really given a fuck - Brian Anderson was always a good example of your 'orientation' not dictating whether or not you can fuckin rip...my mates know I'm queer but don't really give a shit. fuck it

I saw marbie crush a watermelon between her legs last year during Wheels of Fortune and it was unbelievably hot

Omar Hassan
Agah
BA since long before he officially came out
Mountain and his dreamy eyebrows
Danny Garcia
So so any over the years…I remember Lee Ralph made me woozy as a kid.
Now? Any grandpa that’ll still get on a board me push around gives me a kick in the libido, but the dudes at Blockhead really gun my engine.

Edit: forgot I had a Westgate crush minute after being near him at a demo. So not what I’d normally go for but all that power in that little body does things to my brain.

bearded, chunky, and short hair? then yes. i don't think any current pros fit into this, though. yann horowitz is thin for me but i'm into him.

industry people/retired folks like matt price<3, eric dressen, barker barrett... and half of the people in the tired videos... woof.
