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!

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

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.

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.

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!
