A transgender skateboarder

And not somebody who just pushes a little. She's sick. Her name's Hillary.



She's on for the first minute and 53 seconds.

I wish I had kept skateboarding, but I was more for surfing anyways. Good to see some role models with different hobbies!

I remember reading a story about her a while ago.

[Sona~TS]

Wow! She's actually really good! Good for her! So what ever happened to her, does anyone know?

Here's an interview http://king->-bleeped-<-mag.com/videos/215-hillary-thompson-interview

There are newer interviews as well from as current as June 2013. Her name is Hillary Thompson. She's very pretty and has a pretty good story.

I can still skate, I do so every summer. I can nose manual for days though that's about it for flat land tricks, I mainly do vert.

God, I can't nose manual to save my life. Switch manuals, maybe, but not on the nose. I skated... transitions primarily for a lot of years. Since I've lived in the city, I've been skating way more street. And now that we have our amazing plaza at the Art Museum, I skate that thing all the time.

I'd be out skating now, if the ground wasn't covered in ice and slush.

I still skate, although at this age it hurts a lot more when I bail....lol.

100% street skater...give me a hill run, a hand rail, a well-worn curb, and a smooth bank and I am in pure bliss.

[Rachel]

Very cool, I use to skate board many years ago. I still longboard for fun (very tame now) and my daughter and I both have boards,  mine is bamboo and my daughters is composite.

This is awesome thanks for sharing!

Let's all get together for a transgender skate tour, and show up at parks like a flash mob! I would love to see that happen at ever-more-macho FDR park in Philly!
