Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story

The then 27-year-old U.S. champion skateboarder was to compete in the 2020 Olympics but instead chose to disclose their true gender identity.

There are non-binary and trans people everywhere, and "Stay on Board" documents one story. When street skaters get on the road to the Olympics a lot is asked, and taking steps that feel right for oneself is no easy task when everybody with an opinion shares it on social media. The protagonist is an extraordinary person with integrity, exercising the freedom to own who they are; it's apparent that being non-gender conforming should not prevent them from competing. Alley-oop and primo slide.
