Local Portland Shredr!

Hey! I’m a little ol’ queer park skater based in Portland. I bought my first pair of quad skates on a whim in 2019. Two-ish years, one pandemic, a move-to-another-country, and a lot of basement skating later, I finally started park skating regularly with my local CIB chapter. The queer skate community quickly became home and more than just a hobby. The people I met provided space and support for me to grow into my true self at a time when everything else in my life felt messy and confusing.

Skating is the love of my life - falls and all! And through celebrating every small victory, lots of happy shouting, and pure silliness, I want to share that love with others and (hopefully) make the skate park a little less intimidating and a little more accessible along the way. I’m so excited to be part of team GNDR SHREDR, and to connect with and learn from skaters outside of my bubble. I hope to use this opportunity to see skating from new perspectives and to be even louder in celebrating my amazing skate community! 🖤
