This is the first book to recognize and historicize the female, queer, bi, and nonbinary humans who blazed the path that led to today’s more equitable skate culture. It wasn’t easy getting here. Like the rest of the world, skateboarding has long been patriarchal. Rarely did you see a woman’s name in a skate video—either on a deck or behind the lens. The four skateboarders at the heart of this book defied expectations of gender, talent, physical ability, and mental capacity to fight the status quo: Alana as the first openly nonbinary athlete in Olympic history; Vanessa as a trailblazing runaway, dominating contests while drinking to excess; Marbie as an accidental boundary-breaking trans icon; and Victoria as the skate rookie turned social media sensation. This book spotlights their paths from rebellious outsiders to recognized pioneers on the historic stage of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where skateboarding made its historic debut.
