We are really excited to present a few skateboards from the genius collective that is There & Unity. Both teams push the boundaries for inclusiveness and representation within the skateboarding community.
Artist, skateboarder, and musician Jeffrey Cheung, based in California, is known for his work in carving out space in historically heterosexual, white spaces, namely skateboarding. In 2017, he and his partner founded Unity, a skateboard company/community/printing press. They now also run There Skateboards, a collective dedicated to supporting queer and trans skateboarders of color (QTPOC).
Although skateboarding is known for pushing boundaries, it is an activity that has been dominated by white men since its inception. Women and skaters of color are rising in popularity, yet skating remains rife with misogyny. Cheung’s collectives work to fight for marginalized voices and expand diversity, hosting skate sessions and art shows with different communities. There Skateboards also sponsors several pro queer skateboarders–including Cher Strauberry (who has started new brand Glue Skateboards) and Marbie Miller. Unity and There are more DIY and “underground”, a golden company spearheaded by an authentic artist.
“Unity queer skateboarding is here to represent and support queer skaters. You are not alone!”
