Myles De Courcy’s “TRANS GIRL SPONSOR ME TAPE”
THERE’s “Ruining Skateboarding”
If you didn´t spend the last few days under a rock, you have probably seen some of the parts of this video here and there but now, finally, the whole project is online in its entirety. THERE Skateboards‘ “Ruining Skateboarding” is definitely doing the opposite that its title suggests by creating another very important milestone towards more diversity in skateboarding. It is good to see something you love change for the better.

i-D – get to know Unity, a radically queer skate company
Skateboarding is still growing and with that growth comes diversity. over the years our sub-culture has solidified its place and has become more normalized as an activity but with that being said there are a lot of boundaries that still need to be crossed.
Conversations about and role models relating to gender, race and sexual preference are starting to not only become a part of our culture but are getting their place in the spotlight. And that is a good thing because it is important for people of all walks of life to have role models they can relate to.
Unity is doing something interesting for everybody in skateboarding and therefore we believe you should get to know and love them.
