Skateboarding isn't always the easiest place to openly express your identity, especially when you're gay. It's unfortunate that many stereotypes and biases have emerged in this realm. But you know what? Actions speak louder than words, and for us, it's all about skating!

That's why we came up with a line of skateboards featuring the primary emotions that bullying can stir up. But here's the twist: these boards were made with one goal in mind—to be ridden until they're completely worn out, destroyed. It's a powerful statement, proving that we won't let negativity hold us back.

Ride the Pride

 
 

Skateboarding Against Discrimination

We crafted a series of skateboards, each adorned with the emotions that bullying often stirs: loneliness, fear, pain, rejection, failure, and silence. On Pride Day, we handed these boards to skateboarders, empowering them to wipe away those negative feelings. How? By doing what they love most: riding.

With every ollie, every kickflip, they faced down discrimination.
