All of us LGBTQ people that were skaters back in the late 80's and the early to Mid 90's needed this so much back then. I am a gay man that is getting back into skating after 20+ years. There, Unity and even Braille have been so inspirational. Then finding Jeff Grosso's Love Letters To Skateboarding was the icing on the cake! I now have a board, All set up. I made a promise to my husband that I will not go skating alone. I'm 47 and have spinal stenosis. Even my FTM trans Nephew is getting in as well.

Hey Tony… great to hear your story. I’m also 47 and just like you, I struggled to find like minded people to skate with back in the 80 and that was one of the main reason I stoped skating. So glad to see how far we’ve come and how inclusive the community is today in some parts of the world. Welcome back to skateboarding… I’ve been back for just over two years now and loving every minute of it. Peace ✌️

same friend. i’m 34 now and stopped once i got out of high school cause all i could find was hate which made it nearly impossible to come out of the closet even though i’m sure most knew. i’m so happy lgbtq+ kids now have people too look up to in the skateboarding community. my husband recently randomly picked up a skateboard cause he knows i was in that scene and wants to learn. i found out about there, unity, and glue and it’s fucking beautiful. time to learn nollie lasers again

I needed this video when I was 15, but I’m so glad to have it at 35. Y’all have done something so special. This is the first time I’ve cried at the end of a skate video.

Congratulations on the pro model board Kien 🙌

james will single-handedly usher in a skinny jean renaissance with this part

growing up as a trans skater in the midwest early 00's i would of never in my wildest dreams imagined their would be a lgbt skate team making skate movies in my lifetime. i can't imagine the impact this would of had on me in my teens seeing someone like me. the midwest is such a crap shoot for all the lgbt stuff so i basically grew up with no representation or exposure at all to the lgbt community. what you guys are doing is so incredibly special please never stop doing this.

This is what skateboarding is, was, and always will be about for me. I'm 50 yrs old and still skate, and this video holds to key to the sport. I don't need to see someone risk there life and limbs, i cant even watch that. This is the video that i watch with my daughter, the open expression, and skate creation is the influence.

Thank you so much.. thank you to everyone who participated in making this happen. I needed this a lot because I was losing faith in so much. Always constantly pressuring myself all while forgetting to have fun. Seeing y'all cheer each other literally all the time is refreshing. I love myself and my style even more now thanks to your energy! I appreciated every beautiful moment in this film. I am meeting you all one day :) One love, There/Unity.. be safe out here 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I feel like a kid, rewinding and looking up all the songs☺️

This is why I Love Skateboarding.... We all love each other as Family..... Nothing but heart in this video...

I love this vid but especially Nadair's part and the song. It Never Entered My Mind is such a great song.

coming from a Bi 15-year-old cis dude living in the south I've faced some judgment. However, my fellow skaters have always shown compassion and been kind to me, just copped the "Around" hoodie love you guys on the There team keep up the good work

Gonna go out and skate now, thank you all for ripping!

jeff’s part almost made me tear up, that was so good 😭😭😭

This video has that great 'film and use it" buddy-cam vibe. It"s good to see kids having fun and not worrying about 'bangers'

trans woman getting back into skating here, im crying. This is what younger me needed to see. Thank yall so fuckin much

Yes 😍😍

This comment section is way more wholesome that the thrasher ones under your individual sections. I thought we had moved on a bit in terms of acceptance, not that skating should have even been super vibey but gosh darn the kids commenting on thrasher are salty af. Keep doing what you're doing. It's important.

i skated in the late 80's & early 90's & slowly lost interest as everyone around me kind of did & stopped progressing. i guess i went from skating all day with crews to more skating alone & that wasn't much fun. as the 90's came in & Rocco/ Big Brother & all that fratty, jockish douchery took over i felt no connection to skating at all, which kinda solidified my waning interest. way too much little boy energy & mean-spirited / competitive vibes. sadly that shit's still there, especially on-line of course. but this vid was fucking gr8 on many levels. hopefully things return to that unifying spirit that this here THERE kinda skating represents. :)

You don't think theres any validity in some comments on thrasher? Some comments are unnecessary shitty, but a lot come from a legitimate place. I watched the vid, not bad. But...most parts here are clearly sub par compared to other pros and ams. I think its messed up to elevate identity over skill

I loved Nadairs part. His style, his outfit’s, the SF scenery. His trick selection!! Fucking inspirational!!! Thank you Of course Miles Davis❤️

Love this so much, rlly inspirational. Thank you to everyone who participated in this video this is fucking awesome, definitely one of my fav skate vids

Damn Marbie so fucking amazing and creative skating! Been a fan of Chandler and Kien for a long time, but somehow missed out on all these other awesome skaters... So hyped!!!

god the skating is so extremely good but all the song choices in this vid go so hard

vibes unmatched

Thank you, just thank you so very much for There and Unity. I wish 18 year old me could have seen this in 2009 before he quit skating. But at 31 seeing this has me feeling even happier to welcome skating back into my life. You're all incredible and every hug and smile had tears welling up in my eyes. So much love to all of you ❤

This video is so much fun! It embodies everything skateboarding should have been from the beginning…a place for everyone to express their true selves and be accepted by a family no matter what the mainstream says

Beautiful video and people. Incredible song selection too. Thank you for this :)

this video is so beautiful, i loved every single part of it, so inspirational

Wow james pitonyak is smooth silk crazy cream goodness! Amazing video, love the miles davis as well

This skate video is great, besides the meaning for the lgbt+ community, is also a great skate video, tricks are not perfect, landings are not perfect, is the real everyday skateboarding we all love. Skateboarding has always been the sport that gets people together. Being a skater changed my life, since 1992. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Well done!!!

For sure, a lot of skate videos are great but sometimes make things feel impossible. Bail videos make it seem way too dangerous. This is a good reminder that you can do dope tricks and also just have fun with it.

I wish I would have went to the premier at braindead in LA. Also LOVE the intro song. I can tell it’s a remake of “it’s a fine day” by opus 3 but who made that? If anyone knows or it was in the credits plz let me know

hope james or myley get ender in the next video they make mostly just cause i want to see a longer part from them two
