While much of skateboarding culture has traditionally been seen through a straight lens, There was created to break through the pink ceiling with the continued activism and representation of queer skaters. Launched by Jeffrey Cheung and his partner Gabriel Ramirez, There skateboard decks have opened up the community, dismantling homophobic stereotypes to encourage inclusivity and freedom of expression.
While skateboarding has always been part of the counterculture, There is catapulting it into the limelight, helping the sport ‘come out’. Making skating more accessible and visible to new groups, the inclusive label has continued to show that skating knows no boundaries. Headed by a team of female, trans and queer people, the brand is here to represent and embrace its community and core message.
Skate in hyper-colour on a There skateboard deck
At the skatepark, cruising the streets or down your driveway, wherever you find yourself, There skateboard decks' bold designs will give you a freeing ride. Moulding multidisciplinary art forms, There blends solidly built boards with vivid, figurative graphics unlike any other. Like a mobile gallery on wheels, There skateboard decks feature artwork by guest artists, including Ryan Rocha, Willow Erin, Alicia McCarthy and Marbie, among others. Each artist has lent their exquisite talent to represent their take on There skateboards. With a colourfully queer team, There is making a refreshing change in the skateboard scene — and Fast Times has a collection to leave conservative beliefs behind.
With such dynamic graphics, There skateboard decks have been designed to showcase skateboarding in a unique light, as well as stake your claim to rep your individuality. With deep respect for its sport-come-art that takes practice, experience and experimentation to master, you can take your board out of the gutter or mount it front and centre in your room.
While effortlessly sophisticated and supremely finished, There skateboard decks were meant to be ridden. Carve out your place in the skateboarding scene and match a There deck to your skating style and ability with different board sizes, lengths and wheelbases. There is a do-it-yourself and underground brand led by a genuine artist and skater. Cheung and There, as well as other queer skaters of colour, are making a meaningful difference.
