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!
