An inspiring collection of essays written by queer, trans-masc skater and activist Leo Baker! This is probably my favorite Pocket Book Collective I've read so far - the balance of Baker's personal experiences with skateboarding and discovering their queerness and informative realities of skateboarding was incredible. I love the connection that was drawn between gender and skateboarding - this pocket book made for an empowering mini memoir and a great crash course for the world of skateboarding!

A lovely memoir of a non-binary athlete who struggled with their identity whilst following their dream. Even at times giving up their dream so they can become their most authentic self. 

This was a lovely listen told by the author and I would recommend to anyone with an hour free

I really liked this look into the gendered world of skateboarding. It was a perspective I haven't read before.
