Queer skating is the biggest shift in a while and it’s rad
This. I think that queer, trans, and Women skaters are going to (continue to) create the next game change. I can see skateboarding becoming
hugely popular among these groups so we will see more marketing devoted towards them. And overall skateboarding become more diverse in terms of participation, fashion, and on-board styles.
And also more diverse in terms of popular skater ages, geography, and even ability. I think the idea of doing 'the next biggest stunt' as nearly the only path towards professional status is going to be less ubiquitous.
It makes me hopeful and excited for skateboarding.
