I’m from Oregon but lived in SD from 2001-2011 and never experienced negatively at the skatepark until there. It really killed the vibe with stupid and core dudes making fun of anyone that was a beginner. I’m glad skateboarding has adopted a wider audience and accepted them because it wasn’t always like that. In Oregon we grew up with the notion that if you’re actually trying to skate/progress was all anyone cared about to get your “welcome” into the scene.
Skateboarding is a bond. we stand together as a family. we not spose to judge and as they done here they help and create for the future of skateboarding.

Same! Skateboarding is honestly what gave me the courage to just "send it" on coming out as trans xD. I even did it the same way I skate a stair set...roll up about 50 times without jumping xD
This is so beautiful. Thanks Nike and Skate Like A Girl for highlighting an amazing athlete aka Alexa! And many others who would have otherwise not been supported and cherished in skating. Skateboarding is an amazing sport, I love it so much. I'm glad to see people working on making it accessible so a true skater spirit in whatever form and approach can find its way here without judgement. There are cruel people who don't want to believe there's been anything 'wrong' with skating and don't want their sport changed or talked about in ways they can't understand. There's a lot of learning left for them. While the rest of us can just cherish in seeing more and more skaters with sick styles come up and shine =). Cheers friends.
How inspiring! Maybe Nike should make a nice edgy video with nice lenses and expensive cameras and show off the sweatshops and all the people they have exploited in other countries in just the past 15 years. Im sure those are also marginalized people who deserve exposure and acceptance? Like if you agree!

Stop asking "why does it matter if their trans just skate", it matters if you care about skateboarding, you don't need any more representation, you've had it from the beginning and you will continue to have it, let skaters who have stories that will actually benefit the community be heard, and if you don't like this kind of thing well... that's fine! You can watch all the other thousands of hours of content geared towards uou, but don't come into the comments of a video that was made with the intention of positive representation for a minority in the skate community just so you can complain, trans skaters are not taking over your space they just want to skate too, take your own advice and stop literally going out of your way to be a dick, this isn't about you for once

Skateboardings never been about inclusivity. No matter your skin color or gender, we were always hated on by most other skaters when we first started. We were looked at as posers because we sucked and didn’t know what was good and what was corny. It’s not until you learn some tricks and look like you know what you’re doing that you started getting accepted. But once you did that, it also didn’t matter what color you were or your gender. Maybe the most recent generations don’t understand that, it’s not your race or your gender that you’re being hated on for, it’s that you suck at skating and look like a poser.
u have no idea what you’re talking about because you’ve never experienced it lmao. as a black trans woman who can skate pretty damn good, i’m respected by skaters insofar as i’m a skater. that doesn’t stop them from being racist, misogynistic, and most of all transphobic.

Forced highlight because of affirmative action. Also, sucking at skateboarding and playing dress up isn’t “diversity”. It’s entertaining mental illness, ultimately ruining the culture completely. All you need in skateboarding, is to be good at skateboarding. Point blank period.
It's all about the money and what major brands appear to be like in order to get the most out of it. Skateboarding never gave a damn about superficialities since day one. As long as you show dedication you're part of the community, doesn't matter what colour, sex, religion, physical constitution or whatever. I don't get why emphasizing differences should be some sort of cultural progression - cause it's quite the opposite.
People say that all the time, that if you're dedicated then your background doesn't matter. In practice though, that's not how it is. You just need to scroll through the social media of some girl skating, and no matter how good of a skater she is, she'll still get sexist comments. Maybe *you* wouldn't leave such comments, but there's no denying that this stuff happens.
Of course..but that won't stop 'just' because you switch from being Lacey to be Leo and denying a part of your identity just because some asshole reduce you to be nothing else but being an instance of their stereotypes. I know that this happens...but i also know that diversity won't reduce stereotypism at all. Cause it is more or less a subculture (just like skateboarding). After all people still won't get, that you're a wonderful complex human being and will insult you (sometimes simply by not getting that you're a wonderful complex human being). Either you can learn to deal with it or make up a difference that doesn't exist in the first place.
@@layouterlimits Honestly, I think diversity would help that. People are more tolerant when they are more exposed to people from different backgrounds. By the way, I don't know if that's how this comment was intended, but Leo Baker isn't denying part of his identity.
I don't think exposure automatically results into more tolerance. People love or hate things they deal with on daily basis. Generally they tend to be indifferent towards others as long as they don't know em - which is pretty normal behaviour i guess. Sometimes people are triggered by 'weaknesses'..they judge you by your appearance and define you to be introvert, poor, dumb or whatever they think to be weak and not desireable for themselves. Sometimes that is due to things people don't like about their own person. And that is where stereotypes come into play. Everyone has them. It is more a question of politeness or impulse control not to unreasonably dislike something about someone by expressing prejudices. I'm no psychologist but Lacey as a little girl was in charge to earn the money that she and her (addictive) mother needed to live. She had to be strong and she had to be a winner. There was no choice for her and no childhood-like freedom. I think becoming Leo was his way to cope with his childhood and perceive an enthusiasm for skateboarding. That's somehow retroactive denial. There was a reason why Leo refused to be Lacey. It is due to his biography and not because he was born with the wrong body parts.
Lgbtq is a group whom hypocritically craves inclusivity. They push out anyone who isn’t like them. We’re supposed to support or be called some form of “phobic” meanwhile, they intentionally segregate themselves and cry victim to anyone who disagrees.
все теперь покупай ботинки на коллесах . каблуки нам чужды ...да .. ладно адреналин на трасе серпантинке проехать а так на яму пошла тетка где дети .... жестоко
You don't have to be so triggered over people you don't know and never will meet or dislike or even hate. If it's not for you, why care so much? Spend your precious time wiser bro.
Been skateboarding for 20+ years. I have never seen any discrimination at a park. Skateboarding is literally always been a place that anyone has been accepted. I've some weird cats in the park and it was always a place where the "unpopular" kids hang out or the "weirdos". I don't agree with this video by making it seem like there is some sort of division in skateboarding. If there is, then name and shame the locations so others don't hang out in a park that is about discrimination. Because 99% of the skateboarding scene does not give a shit who you are, where you came from or what you believe in. The woman said she is from Utah and moved to Seattle then let us know... like is it the "Skatepark of Salt Lake City" that is anti-trans. Don't claim a story unless you want to shell out the hard facts. This video gives a bad representation of "division" to the outside public on the 99% of skateboarders who actually treat everyone equal.
What you said is really true you can have any haircut, and clothes, any shoes be any race or any height or age or gender or being part of the lgbt+ community and they wouldn’t care they would still treat you like any other skater even if your a beginner most of the people will help you im a beginner and I’ve gotten help with my Ollie’s at a skatepark rn I’m learning them while rolling fast not just pushing my board one single time it’s crazy how they treat everyone equally
@@mariomeza2759 not really. I've been bullied out of parks, buses, and in school all for just holding a skateboard. no one actually saw me skate before deciding to insult me about it. I'd say I'm pretty good at skating! Pretty rude. You ever try to reason with someone who thinks you're a joke? Kind of hard. And they weren't the same people. Weren't even in the same states or age range. Somehow, holding onto a board elicited enough motivation and the same reaction across a lot of male skaters
@@geenz7105 i know people are like that for no reason they basically harass you just for holding a board as if they are active why would you get kicked out of parks though and being kicked out of a bus is so weird it’s just a piece of wood with wheels it won’t hurt anyone in a bus
@@mariomeza2759 And across a decade, states, age range. Very strange. While only having one guy come up to encourage me to join his sess, in the 10yrs of skating. I am thankful things have changed in the last few years. It means so much
This is so important, no one is better or worse than anyone else simply because they have a different gender or sexuality ❤️🏳️🌈🛹, your are important Nike!
@@sucmechris we? No. Not really. Take skateboarding. Name me any women whos at the same level like jamie, nayjah or yuto. And if u tell me theyre the best of the best, yes, but they are all men. Why no women there? U cant expect women to do the same as men. Men do some things better than women, exact same the other way. So again to the main question: why is it always women? Cuz they just need more support than men cuz men are just better and dominant in this sport.
@@jezzrowo3678 just look at womens sls it’s literally worse then the 12 year olds at your local park. They just do regular board slide and lip slide barley any of them are innovative and they forsure have a disadvantage

@@Plixion nah, I don't care what anyone does with their own lives, but if you're I biological dude and dressed up as a girl and allowed to compete against girls is wrong and unfair, on many levels.
@@Plixion It absolutely is about competition. Women have an unfair advantage against men. Perhaps you should look up what happened to Taylor Silverman.
it's called transenders for a reason. I think it's wordplay cause she's transcending in her gender identity journey and 'sending' or 'to send' is a skateboarding term
@@honeydew_dream actually it's called a joke. You see, @Parcva was pretending not to understand something that is very easy to understand, as a way to emphasize how terrible it is as a title. It would be understandable if who ever came up with transenders was in 8th or 9th grade.
bro why cant we just skate without treating people like there more or less special cus there gender cus tbh idgaf if shes trans she fr dont need a whole document like shes special if your good at skating ill admire you.
We’re showing our admiration for her! It’s a 10min doc that went along with a release of limited edition dunks. This is a splash in the water compared how much we’ve celebrated so many other amazing skaters. This isn’t the biggest deal. Let us have it 🤘🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼

I don't think exposure automatically results into more tolerance. People love or hate things they deal with on daily basis. Generally they tend to be indifferent towards others as long as they don't know em - which is pretty normal behaviour i guess.
Sometimes people are triggered by 'weaknesses'..they judge you by your appearance and define you to be introvert, poor, dumb or whatever they think to be weak and not desireable for themselves. Sometimes that is due to things people don't like about their own person. And that is where stereotypes come into play. Everyone has them. It is more a question of politeness or impulse control not to unreasonably dislike something about someone by expressing prejudices.
I'm no psychologist but Lacey as a little girl was in charge to earn the money that she and her (addictive) mother needed to live. She had to be strong and she had to be a winner. There was no choice for her and no childhood-like freedom. I think becoming Leo was his way to cope with his childhood and perceive an enthusiasm for skateboarding. That's somehow retroactive denial. There was a reason why Leo refused to be Lacey. It is due to his biography and not because he was born with the wrong body parts.
Lgbtq is a group whom hypocritically craves inclusivity. They push out anyone who isn’t like them. We’re supposed to support or be called some form of “phobic” meanwhile, they intentionally segregate themselves and cry victim to anyone who disagrees.
This was deep. 🔥
🛹 Skate Like A Girl 👧 and keep shredding!!! #BeTrue
I ❤️ Nike
Pra onde o Sk8 está indo estão esquecendo tudo por uma agenda de hipócritas

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank your this video Nike , very insightful! Glad to see more diversity being accepted nowadays
Nike is the best brand out I swear !! Always spreading positivity through sports and athletes!!! Much luv 💕
Amazing in how they use child sweatshops for their clothing?
They just hoping on to woke bandwagon, which is actually a pretty dangerous thing to do. Just look at all those woke movies that bombed. ..

Respect to all but Nike out of pocket for this one 😭 you guys don’t have to push this agenda. Bad jawn
What agenda? I keep seeing this agenda comment… if you feel to turn trans after watching this then that’s on you
@@Nikpredmi The education system failed you huh?
You don't have to be so triggered over people you don't know and never will meet or dislike or even hate. If it's not for you, why care so much? Spend your precious time wiser bro.
Been skateboarding for 20+ years. I have never seen any discrimination at a park. Skateboarding is literally always been a place that anyone has been accepted. I've some weird cats in the park and it was always a place where the "unpopular" kids hang out or the "weirdos". I don't agree with this video by making it seem like there is some sort of division in skateboarding. If there is, then name and shame the locations so others don't hang out in a park that is about discrimination. Because 99% of the skateboarding scene does not give a shit who you are, where you came from or what you believe in. The woman said she is from Utah and moved to Seattle then let us know... like is it the "Skatepark of Salt Lake City" that is anti-trans. Don't claim a story unless you want to shell out the hard facts. This video gives a bad representation of "division" to the outside public on the 99% of skateboarders who actually treat everyone equal.
What you said is really true you can have any haircut, and clothes, any shoes be any race or any height or age or gender or being part of the lgbt+ community and they wouldn’t care they would still treat you like any other skater even if your a beginner most of the people will help you im a beginner and I’ve gotten help with my Ollie’s at a skatepark rn I’m learning them while rolling fast not just pushing my board one single time it’s crazy how they treat everyone equally
@@mariomeza2759 not really. I've been bullied out of parks, buses, and in school all for just holding a skateboard. no one actually saw me skate before deciding to insult me about it. I'd say I'm pretty good at skating! Pretty rude. You ever try to reason with someone who thinks you're a joke? Kind of hard. And they weren't the same people. Weren't even in the same states or age range. Somehow, holding onto a board elicited enough motivation and the same reaction across a lot of male skaters
@@geenz7105 i know people are like that for no reason they basically harass you just for holding a board as if they are active why would you get kicked out of parks though and being kicked out of a bus is so weird it’s just a piece of wood with wheels it won’t hurt anyone in a bus
exactly. nobody ever refuses to teach girls to skate
@@mariomeza2759 And across a decade, states, age range. Very strange. While only having one guy come up to encourage me to join his sess, in the 10yrs of skating. I am thankful things have changed in the last few years. It means so much
Large corp pandering. Transgender dollar, very hot right now.
Yeah just ask Disney 💀
HA! GAY!
As mais brabas!
This is so important, no one is better or worse than anyone else simply because they have a different gender or sexuality ❤️🏳️🌈🛹, your are important Nike!
Nose manny shuv to manny did not count
See my Name dont have fun with 4ugly5 Need sky
This is an honest question, why is it always women who transitioned from men in the lime light and not the other way?
because men are better in stuff like this and dont really need the "huge support" like some women need.
@@jezzrowo3678 we want equality or no ?
@@sucmechris we? No. Not really. Take skateboarding. Name me any women whos at the same level like jamie, nayjah or yuto. And if u tell me theyre the best of the best, yes, but they are all men. Why no women there? U cant expect women to do the same as men. Men do some things better than women, exact same the other way. So again to the main question: why is it always women? Cuz they just need more support than men cuz men are just better and dominant in this sport.
Leo Baker is right there…do some research lmao
@@jezzrowo3678 just look at womens sls it’s literally worse then the 12 year olds at your local park. They just do regular board slide and lip slide barley any of them are innovative and they forsure have a disadvantage
Man stop pushing the agenda nobody cares of your pronounce just skate and have fun
bro what agenda
"lgbtq people existing is an agenda" post more cringe
@@zac9399 ong
triggered!
Yo! Why everyone in this hot?? Can I get them digits?
Gay.
Average male skater transitions, gets Nike shoe and documentary
I think they just wanted to include a different perspective, it's not about how good she is or something
@@honeydew_dream they wanted woke points
@@310jazzmin the subject seems fitting in skateboarding, I mean skateboarding should be inclusive imo. that's coming from a skater too🛹
@@honeydew_dream I agree skateboarding is for everybody! i’m a bio girl skater i just find it offensive that bio men can just put on a dress and jump into a female space and say we are the same
@@310jazzmin yeah that would be weird if a cis man who identifies as a man put on a dress and called himself a girl. That's not what this video is about in any way
All I know is transgenger people better have their own catagory to compete in.
And I don't care how "offensive" that may sound to people.
Agreed 100%. It’s not fair to the real biological females.
Most peoples that said that type of shit also want transgenders to be medically or mentally cured, doesn't want any relationship with any of them
@@Plixion nah, I don't care what anyone does with their own lives, but if you're I biological dude and dressed up as a girl and allowed to compete against girls is wrong and unfair, on many levels.
@@kyles5513 You clearly hate on trans, it's not about competition. Yet we're still waiting on a trans woman dominating in women category
@@Plixion It absolutely is about competition. Women have an unfair advantage against men. Perhaps you should look up what happened to Taylor Silverman.
Do young people listen to punk rock anymore?
No. They listen to delusional tic tok creators all day everyday. That's why there is so much mental illness in our youth today.
@@kyles5513 L take, there has been a monumental amount of mental illness in youth culture for a long ass time, way before tiktok.
I do
@@crit0ml342 nice
U spelled transgender wrong btw
Nope they are trans SENDERS
it's called transenders for a reason. I think it's wordplay cause she's transcending in her gender identity journey and 'sending' or 'to send' is a skateboarding term
@@honeydew_dream okay thanks for explanation
@@honeydew_dream actually it's called a joke. You see, @Parcva was pretending not to understand something that is very easy to understand, as a way to emphasize how terrible it is as a title. It would be understandable if who ever came up with transenders was in 8th or 9th grade.
@@oraziohall2969 idk transenders may not be a great title but I think there is some kinda clever wordplay there. not that bad to me 🤷🏽♂️
mannn 😂 stop pushing the agenda
Mann😂 stop talking
Mannn 😂 stop being so triggered! Imagine being triggered over more acceptance?
@@waxmaster-c Crying about being accepted aint gonna get you accepted lol
bro why cant we just skate without treating people like there more or less special cus there gender cus tbh idgaf if shes trans she fr dont need a whole document like shes special if your good at skating ill admire you.
We’re showing our admiration for her! It’s a 10min doc that went along with a release of limited edition dunks. This is a splash in the water compared how much we’ve celebrated so many other amazing skaters. This isn’t the biggest deal. Let us have it 🤘🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼
@@geenz7105 Why should we let y’all have it, when y’all haven’t earned anything? Admiration & respect are earned. Not something given away freely because you feel like you deserve it.
@@WickedGames7 Wait, how long you've been skating? You haven't answered that. Isn't skating all about tricks and skills regardless of positionality on ideas? Let's hear it, friend. And "why should WE let y'all.."? I mean you want to, you can definitely hold onto your skateboard really really hard. And all the cameras out there too, so no one can get clips. Worth a try
@@WickedGames7 it was literally illegal to be gay, it was never illegal to be a straight man
@@willmax95 @Mikey Darko is also unimpressed by half cab flip to manny to 180 out. umm @Mikey Darko, if that doesn't earn your respect in skating, what can you do?
Respectfully idc what you identify as as long as trans women are not competing against biological women
Unsubscribed
You think you’re so important that you have to announce that you unsubscribed from Nike. Omg Andy Scott unsubscribed what will we do?!
@@dnkndonutts8662 and we all care so much what "DnknDonutts" thinks
@@AndyS52 I didn’t express any of my personal feeling nor my action. You don’t have to care what I think or what I do the fact that you got that from my comment makes me think you lack comprehensive skill
@@dnkndonutts8662 okay DnknDonutts
@@AndyS52 👍
How about we all just go skate instead of trying to be special and separate 🤷🏻♂️🙌🏻💯 and don't give me that safe space crap either ..this isnt 1955
We gotta focus on sexual stuff cause........"positivity" or something......
@@twuandixon8675 it's all Marxism at the core. But they'll be throwing against the wall with the rest of us during communism. That or get to starve to death equally alongside us
This is the biggest load of crap I’ve ever heard of in my life
So eyeliner + dresses means you’re a woman? dangit nike sb is woke now smh
they're talking about gender identity not biological sex
@@honeydew_dream so gender identity= clothing/fashion? Pretty offensive to dumb womanhood down to clothing.
@@310jazzmin no, gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender. it's a purely subjective thing
@@310jazzmin it's not about clothing or how u outwardly express urself. it's something that comes from within... takes like 3 seconds to Google the definition
@@honeydew_dream there isn’t real science behind the gender ideology. I use to follow this belief until i did some research on it and it changed my view because there isn’t any facts to back it up. Gender Critical and Detrans subreddits are a different perspective you should look into if you’re interested!
Oh you mean skate like the gender you believe you are, ok got it
I identify as a T-Rex
Nike has no business in skateboarding anyway.. unsubscribed and blacklisted. Never buying nike again.
Oh shit one person to never buy Nike again? How upsetting 😂😂
byeeeee
After 12 years as a proud subscriber? Because of a few girls? Fragile little man.
@@DavidLuther Calling someone a “fragile little man” for calling out this BS , says far more about your fragility than it does his. Congrats, you’re a clown 🤡
@@uncomfortablynumb9800 It took that Ken 12 years to figure out his view on Nike in skateboarding - and I am the clown?
Right.
What is causing this sudden "explosion " of transgenderism in society in the last 5 years? Soy,medications?
Literally ESG scores aka corporate Marxism infesting every fabric of society.
trans ppl have literally existed since the beginning of time and there’s plenty of anthropological evidence to support this. there’s just more visibility because ppl are finally getting basic human rights granted to them and a lot of ppl think that should be up for debate.
Look into the research from Prof Tyrone B Hayes on atrazine.
Probably Satan
@@censoredialogue How interesting that the 'science' just so happens to back your Raytheon boardroom approved opinions at all times. Not once has your worldview been challenged by evidence, because of course evidence to the contrary can be ignored under the guise of "insert buzzword here, such as white supremacy." No matter what, your opinions are validated. I'm sure this is purely coincidental!
