Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:18,601
Fuck!
2
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:25,442
Skateboarding has gotten me through
3
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:27,694
everything I've ever experienced
in my life.
4
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:32,657
People are like, "Are you Lacey Baker?"And I'm like, "Yeah."
5
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:34,200
-
-
6
00:00:34,284 --> 00:00:35,535
It's pretty crazy.
7
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:39,164
I fully can't even, like, look
at footage of me
8
00:00:39,247 --> 00:00:42,125
from, like, age 13 to, like, 18.
9
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:47,922
Lacey Baker was this fucking person
that got put together
10
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:50,467
by just the world around me.
11
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,928
I had to, like, become this person
12
00:00:54,971 --> 00:00:57,974
and then having
all of my dreams riding on that.
13
00:00:58,975 --> 00:01:00,727
How could somebody not choose that?
14
00:01:34,677 --> 00:01:37,680
{\an8}She's beena dominant force in women's skateboarding
15
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:39,182
for a very long time.
16
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:44,270
You just don't seeanybody else doing what Baker's doing.
17
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:47,273
Lacey Baker'sfirst ever gold medal.
18
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:49,526
Seven X Games medals.
19
00:01:50,735 --> 00:01:54,739
Super Crown champion 2016 and 2017.
20
00:01:54,823 --> 00:01:57,117
A legend in women's skateboarding.
21
00:02:41,286 --> 00:02:43,955
{\an8}Do you think you could, uh,
drop in on here
22
00:02:44,038 --> 00:02:48,168
and do like two kickflips
before you… before you got to there?
23
00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:50,461
{\an8}Oh my God. Okay, challenge accepted.
24
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:53,715
{\an8}Have you ever tried
that in like a… in like a ramp
25
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:56,384
{\an8}where you try to drop in
and do a trick on the flatbottom?
26
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:59,679
- No.
- It's like a recipe for disaster.
27
00:02:59,762 --> 00:03:02,557
-
-
28
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:03,474
Okay.
29
00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:09,230
I really became obsessed
with skating
30
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:11,816
once I started trying to land a kickflip.
31
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:12,775
What is happening?
32
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:17,155
I remember when I finally landed it,
my whole world just, like, exploded.
33
00:03:17,238 --> 00:03:19,157
It was so like-- Just that feeling.
34
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,910
And I still get that feeling
whenever I learn a new trick.
35
00:03:21,993 --> 00:03:23,119
It never goes away.
36
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:28,833
-
-I fucking did a front crook!
37
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:34,422
Oh my God!
38
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:40,386
The last time I tried that shit,
I was like 16 at Westco Park.
39
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:41,804
- Just… Whoom!
- Yeah.
40
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:44,849
And then I was like, "Nope.
I'm not doing that trick in my life."
41
00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:46,935
-Oh my God.
-Yeah.
42
00:03:47,518 --> 00:03:49,270
-What, did you get rub in it?
-Yeah.
43
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:53,900
Skateboarding hitsthe big stage in Tokyo.
44
00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:57,153
Right. Skateboardingis finally coming to the Olympics.
45
00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:59,906
It's a substantial milestone for a sport
46
00:03:59,989 --> 00:04:03,576
{\an8}that 25 years agowas considered anything but mainstream.
47
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,453
{\an8}-
-
48
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:07,538
-How's it going?
-Good. Good to see you.
49
00:04:07,622 --> 00:04:08,665
Yeah, you too.
50
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,541
- How you doing?
- Good. How are you?
51
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:12,335
- You been good?
- What's up?
52
00:04:14,712 --> 00:04:20,051
{\an8}So we're here today
for the USA National Team announcement.
53
00:04:20,134 --> 00:04:22,345
These skaters,
through their own dedication
54
00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:24,264
to something that they love,
55
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:25,765
have now provided themselves
56
00:04:25,848 --> 00:04:28,851
an opportunity to get
the Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
57
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:32,355
It's the first time skateboarding
ever has been in the Olympics,
58
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:34,190
so I want to make it there.
59
00:04:35,566 --> 00:04:38,444
{\an8}Still can't really believe it
to see how far skateboarding has come.
60
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:41,239
{\an8}So this even
being an opportunity is insane.
61
00:04:41,322 --> 00:04:43,032
Alexis Sablone.
62
00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:47,328
It's the ultimate competition.
It's a huge honor.
63
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:50,790
{\an8}So yeah, I mean,
I think I would regret it forever
64
00:04:50,873 --> 00:04:53,376
{\an8}if I didn't try
as hard as I could to get there.
65
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:55,044
But it's weird,
66
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:58,923
and how it will change skateboarding
is a question mark.
67
00:04:59,632 --> 00:05:02,010
Next up, Lacey Baker.
68
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,767
Another veteran
of the women's contest scene.
69
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:11,686
It's a pretty historic event.
70
00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:14,731
Lacey has been seen
putting it down for years.
71
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:17,066
You have to qualify to make it,
72
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:19,736
so there's gonna be a lot of competing.
73
00:05:20,278 --> 00:05:21,696
It just makes me feel nervous.
74
00:05:21,779 --> 00:05:23,781
So, congratulations.
75
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,158
- Yay.
-
76
00:05:25,241 --> 00:05:26,075
Thanks.
77
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:27,910
…see what you're gonna do.
78
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:33,249
These are your 2019 USA Skateboarding
Women's National Team.
79
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,752
-
-
80
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:36,669
Thank you.
81
00:05:38,921 --> 00:05:41,924
I definitely saw Leo
as very talented early on.
82
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,761
{\an8}You could tell that there was…
there was a determination there
83
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,055
{\an8}that was beyond his years.
84
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:51,976
Lee is
one of the most skilled people
85
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:53,186
on a skateboard.
86
00:05:53,269 --> 00:05:56,606
They do riskier tricks
that are, for most of us, like,
87
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:58,274
no one can do that first try.
88
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:00,318
No one's trying to do that
in a competition.
89
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:06,866
There's a lot
of confidence in the tricks,
90
00:06:06,949 --> 00:06:09,744
{\an8}but also, there's a lot of technical skill
91
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:13,748
threading tricks together, like,
one really powerful flip trick
92
00:06:13,831 --> 00:06:16,125
and then a really hard manual trick.
93
00:06:16,626 --> 00:06:18,836
It's a very specific style
of skateboarding,
94
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,590
and it's one
that requires crazy perseverance.
95
00:06:24,425 --> 00:06:26,511
Leo's consistent
because he practices a lot.
96
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:29,847
Seeing him try a trick for two hours,
97
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:32,392
{\an8}it's kind of inspiring
to see someone skate like that.
98
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:36,479
{\an8}You have to have mind and skill.
99
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:38,940
{\an8}Like, you have to be one with your board,
100
00:06:39,023 --> 00:06:42,110
{\an8}so you can flip it, catch it,
land in the manual,
101
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:43,861
- and then flip it back out.
- Whoo!
102
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:48,366
You know? And that takes a lot
of mind power. That's like what Lee does.
103
00:06:49,992 --> 00:06:51,744
We're looking forward to watching
104
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:54,080
their level of skating
continue to increase.
105
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:56,582
-I love you.
-I love you too, Mom.
106
00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:58,876
{\an8}- On with the guys.
- All right. That's for you.
107
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:03,423
{\an8}-Yay, another for me.
-Yeah, that prize is for Mom right there.
108
00:07:04,465 --> 00:07:06,551
It would be really special
for a person like me
109
00:07:06,634 --> 00:07:09,470
just to be visibly queer
on such a global scale,
110
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:12,390
but also, being trans,
111
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:16,060
I feel really out of place,
um, in that setting.
112
00:07:16,894 --> 00:07:20,314
-
-
113
00:07:26,195 --> 00:07:27,321
Hi.
114
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:34,370
You know what I was thinking about?
115
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:37,748
Putting a desk in here
and making that into a living room.
116
00:07:38,541 --> 00:07:40,209
The never-ending…
117
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,129
…home-improvement project.
118
00:07:43,212 --> 00:07:46,132
Well, here's why it's an improvement,
because I think it'd be…
119
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:48,009
It's really important
to be with someone
120
00:07:48,092 --> 00:07:49,927
who, like, really understands you.
121
00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:53,556
Mel is one of the most kind,
loving, and supportive people
122
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:55,308
I've ever met in my life.
123
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:57,560
Wait, so we'd get rid of your desk.
124
00:07:57,643 --> 00:08:00,438
Well, my desk is an amplifier
with a piece of wood on it.
125
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,607
- So, that's not really a desk.
-
126
00:08:02,690 --> 00:08:05,735
- Okay. And then…
-
127
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:07,695
I'm not involved
in the skate world at all,
128
00:08:07,778 --> 00:08:10,281
and until I met Lee,
I didn't know anything.
129
00:08:10,364 --> 00:08:12,325
But we had so much fun together.
130
00:08:12,408 --> 00:08:15,328
{\an8}He was just really easy
to get close with immediately.
131
00:08:15,411 --> 00:08:17,371
There.You think you're gonna come?
132
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:19,081
Yeah, Lee will be there.
133
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:24,337
I think I get in
on… maybe like the first.
134
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,798
Because I have to shoot, um,
a skate video thing.
135
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:31,260
And then… then it's just
the contest weekend, so…
136
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:33,513
You're coming in on the 26th--
137
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:36,390
In the industry,
I've always been known as Lacey Baker.
138
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:40,394
With close friends and family,
I prefer to be called Leo.
139
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:41,771
-
-
140
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:44,440
Not a lot of people know that,
especially in the industry,
141
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,192
just because it's like…
142
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:49,111
I mean, I don't know why. I…
143
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:53,824
It's a process that I'm going through
and like discovering myself and…
144
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,702
I don't know. Fuck. I don't know.
145
00:08:56,786 --> 00:09:03,042
The industry is just a big… thing,
like, for people to know about that.
146
00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:04,001
I don't know.
147
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:09,590
When I met Leo,
I asked what pronouns he preferred.
148
00:09:12,593 --> 00:09:18,140
And he kind of nervously responded
quickly, like, "Uh, she/her is fine."
149
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,062
He was like,
"No one's ever asked me that before."
150
00:09:24,021 --> 00:09:26,023
Like, I just was, like, avoidant.
151
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:29,151
But literally, the next day,
it was like, "Actually…"
152
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,240
She was just like,
"Yeah, I'm queer. I get it."
153
00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:39,453
To have space
to explore those things about myself
154
00:09:39,537 --> 00:09:42,456
alongside somebody
who, like, really understands,
155
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,293
it was like immediate freedom.
156
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:48,838
-
-
157
00:09:50,464 --> 00:09:52,800
There was one night
where he opened up
158
00:09:52,883 --> 00:09:54,385
and just poured everything out to me…
159
00:09:56,304 --> 00:09:58,931
…telling me that he was trans
and he's known for a really long time
160
00:09:59,015 --> 00:10:00,975
but just sort of, like, pushed it down.
161
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:09,442
{\an8}It would be impossible for him
to come out because of his career.
162
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:14,655
{\an8}And he has to choose
between being his authentic self
163
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:17,033
{\an8}and his career
that he's worked so hard for.
164
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:23,706
It got to a point for me
where I felt like I'm living a split life.
165
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:32,506
I know in what space I'm gonna be Lacey
and when I can just be me.
166
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:37,553
You afraid
of some sort of backlash?
167
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,611
-
-
168
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:57,448
Smile for us, sweet ladies.
169
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:02,870
Right there. Right there.
170
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,999
Nice. Oh, fix the jacket
so I can see the Nike.
171
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:08,834
Real quick, for your team.
172
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:11,253
- Team official headshot right there.
-
173
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:13,172
Right. You work it.
174
00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:16,467
Lee is a good friend of mine
that I've known for years
175
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:20,721
but is also internationally known
and respected as someone else.
176
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:24,100
So it's confusing
if I'm talking about "Lee" and "he."
177
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:28,646
I don't want them
to, like, miss out on the credit
178
00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:31,357
of, like…
…their reputation, basically.
179
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,359
- Turn around.
-
180
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:37,488
- Sick.
- All right, girls. Yes, girls.
181
00:11:37,571 --> 00:11:38,906
All right. Right there.
182
00:11:38,989 --> 00:11:41,742
I can't really imagine
how it feels for Lee.
183
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:43,619
I mean, even for me, it's just like,
184
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:46,956
"Okay, ladies."
Like, it doesn't fit what you're doing.
185
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:51,627
It feels like you're…
been put in this category,
186
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:54,672
the ladies category. You're like,
"No, we're just skateboarders."
187
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:57,800
- Give me some… Work it.
-
188
00:11:57,883 --> 00:11:59,635
I don't want to work it.
189
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:03,139
AZ, can you make her smile?
Someone make her smile.
190
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:05,599
- Come on, make her smile.
- Yes!
191
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:08,686
So, right now,
there's a lot of emphasis on the Olympics.
192
00:12:10,938 --> 00:12:13,816
And that is so far off
from where skateboarding came from.
193
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:16,527
{\an8}Slow down! Slow down!
194
00:12:26,954 --> 00:12:29,957
When I started skating
in the '90s,
195
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,000
{\an8}if you told somebody
196
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,753
{\an8}that skateboarding was gonna be
in the Olympics right now,
197
00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:36,380
{\an8}they would laugh in your face
and walk away, you know?
198
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:38,340
{\an8}You didn't even call yourself an athlete.
199
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,802
{\an8}Skateboarding was not a sport.
It's like the anti-jock.
200
00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:45,639
It's for everybody. It's a lot more
than how it's gonna appear on TV.
201
00:12:46,682 --> 00:12:49,894
We were skating
because we love it so much…
202
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:54,607
…not to win contests.
203
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:02,990
{\an8}Getting… getting schooled
by, like, a 15-year-old.
204
00:13:03,073 --> 00:13:05,534
{\an8}That time period in our lives,
when we were all young,
205
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:06,952
{\an8}and there was no money in it,
206
00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:10,122
{\an8}and we were just skateboarding
'cause we loved it was super special.
207
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:12,124
Whoo!
208
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:14,794
Ah! Whoo!
209
00:13:14,877 --> 00:13:16,504
What do you think of that?
210
00:13:16,587 --> 00:13:18,631
- Wonderful. Yeah.
- Pretty good?
211
00:13:18,714 --> 00:13:21,675
- Very good. They're experts.
-
212
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:26,555
I thought it was only for boys,
you know, but I never saw girls doing it.
213
00:13:27,681 --> 00:13:30,684
That was it. I mean,
we're just like little skaters.
214
00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:33,437
- What are you doing?
-
215
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:37,733
{\an8}It's funny because I didn't speak English.
216
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:41,153
{\an8}And then,
the only way we could communicate
217
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,989
was, like, punching each other.
218
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:46,450
So that's… that's how we became friends.
219
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:50,996
Whoo!
220
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:55,417
- So, what are you doing, Vanessa?
- Some fucking shit, dude.
221
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:59,547
{\an8}Our generation was just all about
going out and skating and learning tricks.
222
00:14:01,298 --> 00:14:03,217
{\an8}- Yes!
-
223
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:07,263
And now there's an objective.
224
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:10,724
And with the Olympics, it's like, "Gold."
225
00:14:13,477 --> 00:14:16,522
{\an8}So, are you doing two decimal,
or is it on a one to ten?
226
00:14:16,605 --> 00:14:20,609
{\an8}Um, for the park,
it will be, uh, zero to a hundred.
227
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:21,902
{\an8}-Okay, so…
-Two decimals.
228
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:24,697
- Street should be one decimal.
- One to ten, yeah.
229
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:25,781
{\an8}That's rad, though.
230
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:30,286
{\an8}It breaks down all the logistics literally
right there underneath, like, each rider.
231
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:32,580
You guys know the rules
for the trick counting?
232
00:14:32,663 --> 00:14:35,165
{\an8}- If you're in a transition, it counts.
- Yeah.
233
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:38,502
{\an8}Um, if you haven't tapped your tail
on a street trick, it doesn't count.
234
00:14:42,339 --> 00:14:44,508
Olympics is honestly a language
235
00:14:44,592 --> 00:14:47,761
that I don't think any of us know
as skateboarders.
236
00:14:51,098 --> 00:14:52,391
{\an8}That makes our job really hard,
237
00:14:53,183 --> 00:14:55,477
because it's like,
you have a technical trick
238
00:14:56,562 --> 00:15:00,357
and then you just have
this fucking massive carcass toss thing.
239
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:03,444
You know what I mean?
So it's like, how do they measure up?
240
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:07,615
You need to be pushing boundaries
of skateboarding and what is possible.
241
00:15:07,698 --> 00:15:09,033

242
00:15:09,116 --> 00:15:13,245
Thank you guys for coming out.

{\an8}-How's that?
-Good.
260
00:16:11,261 --> 00:16:13,430
{\an8}The stakes are higher
than they've ever been.
261
00:16:14,306 --> 00:16:15,182
Yeah!
262
00:16:15,265 --> 00:16:18,060
The competition is stronger
than it's ever been.
263
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:21,855
{\an8}Ultimately, who has
the best overall top scores

265
00:16:26,735 --> 00:16:28,696
Yeah. What's up, boy?
266
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:41,208
I really can't, like,
afford in this moment
267
00:16:41,291 --> 00:16:45,337
to, like, get surgery
and not be able to skate, so…
268
00:16:46,213 --> 00:16:49,383
They're being asked to do something
that's never been done before.
269
00:16:49,466 --> 00:16:52,594
{\an8}It's like we used to just have
these contests that are just spread out
270
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:56,098
{\an8}maybe three, four times a year, you know?
271
00:16:56,181 --> 00:17:00,561
{\an8}And now we have a set schedule
that's one back-to-back contest.
272
00:17:00,644 --> 00:17:02,604
Even when you're skating these contests,
273
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:07,359
you still have to focus on working out,
physical therapy. Everything is work.
274
00:17:07,443 --> 00:17:09,153
It's a lot to adjust to.
275
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:12,072
Even more so for the people
that have been in this for a while.
276
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:17,119
Definitely getting through
this year of competition
277
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:18,829
is just gonna be like,
278
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:23,208
all of my focus and energy
on, like, my physical strength,
279
00:17:23,292 --> 00:17:27,004
my mental health,
and, like, my ability to skate.
280
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:34,219
The impact of making it
to the Olympics would be pretty big,
281
00:17:34,845 --> 00:17:38,057
and I'm in a position
where I could potentially make it there.
282
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:40,309
-Yeah!
-Yes!
283
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:42,644
-And that is time right there.
-Amazing.
284
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:44,855
Lee is a pioneer in the space.
285
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:46,565
Hands down, Lee earned this spot.
286
00:17:47,191 --> 00:17:50,235
Lee is one
of the hardest-working people that I know.
287
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,906
I would love to see…
288
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:57,451
them get there.
289
00:17:57,534 --> 00:18:00,037
I think that they're
totally capable of doing it.
290
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:07,461
The question is, is their heart in it?
You know what I mean?
291
00:18:16,512 --> 00:18:19,264
-
-
292
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:28,190
Things occurred to me very late,
293
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:32,778
which is surprising,
considering that I can look back on that
294
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:34,780
and be like,
"Oh yeah, all that was there."
295
00:18:35,739 --> 00:18:37,866
And when I was younger,
I remember just being like,
296
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:39,535
"No, like, I'm a boy."
297
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:40,702
It's like I knew that
298
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:47,167
and then it got lost
in the fucking ether of, like, capitalism.
299
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:54,216
{\an8}Lee, for years,
was the star of women's skating.
300
00:18:57,177 --> 00:19:01,265
{\an8}Anything that was being said about Lee,
it was like, "Female, female, female."
301
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:04,059
And they just, like, branded him.
302
00:19:06,103 --> 00:19:07,896
Lacey Baker, long blond hair.
303
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,898
They just associated me with that,
304
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:12,442
like that was
some kind of trademark or something,
305
00:19:12,526 --> 00:19:14,319
but it's never what I wanted.
306
00:19:15,445 --> 00:19:19,283
I remember being in meetings,
it was like a conversation amongst adults,
307
00:19:19,366 --> 00:19:22,369
of them being like,
"All the way down to, like, the name."
308
00:19:22,452 --> 00:19:24,413
"Lacey Baker. It's so marketable."
309
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:25,706
Hard flip.
310
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:27,708
Ah!
311
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:30,627
"Well, you're on the girls' team.
You have to wear girls' clothes."
312
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:33,172
So, it was lots of pressure
to dress more feminine,
313
00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:35,716
and that's when things
started getting super uncomfortable.
314
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:39,428
I think it was something
every company wanted him to do.
315
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:42,514
"Dress this way. Be this way.
You're a skater and a punk,
316
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:44,516
but, like, don't be that weird."
317
00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:48,562
I would pay to, like,
hear someone be like,
318
00:19:48,645 --> 00:19:51,732
"So here's the girl
we're thinking you should be."
319
00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:55,319
People were
just seeing me as marketable,
320
00:19:55,402 --> 00:19:58,155
wearing all these women's clothes
to sell a product.
321
00:19:58,822 --> 00:20:01,700
They're just like, "Oh, just change
this one thing about yourself."
322
00:20:01,783 --> 00:20:03,702
"Just change this one thing."
And I'm like,
323
00:20:03,785 --> 00:20:05,913
"If I change that, then I level up."
324
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:09,291
And I'm just like,
"This means I get to skate."
325
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:11,210
I mean, I was so young.
326
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:12,711
How could I even see?
327
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,513
- What are you doing?
- Putting socks on.
328
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:25,557
Thinking about
stealing one of your shirts.
329
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:26,808
Okay, go ahead.
330
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:29,228
Maybe this one.
331
00:20:29,311 --> 00:20:31,104
That one's dirty,
but you can wear it.
332
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:32,981
Mmm.
333
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:36,652
When he's at home,
he's started to feel this acceptance
334
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:39,279
within the queer community,
like, "I can be who I am,"
335
00:20:39,363 --> 00:20:41,198
and then goes to work
336
00:20:41,281 --> 00:20:44,284
or goes to shoot a video
or travel to do a contest or whatever,
337
00:20:44,368 --> 00:20:46,578
- and there's so much emphasis…
-
338
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:49,748
…on the fact that he's a "female" skater.
339
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:56,797
And for someone's profession
to focus around what your gender is,
340
00:20:57,381 --> 00:21:01,176
and you're not that gender, that's crazy.
341
00:21:02,719 --> 00:21:04,596
He's like,
"I've worked my whole to get here."
342
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,099
"I'm finally able to support myself
doing what I love,
343
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:10,852
and I can't throw it away
because I need to come out as trans."
344
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:13,897
To see him go through this is…
345
00:21:14,606 --> 00:21:18,235
I can't do anything to fix it,
and that, I think, is the hardest part.
346
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:29,288
Right now, I'm on this journey
of what's gonna work for me.
347
00:21:29,371 --> 00:21:31,415
I'm trying to be comfortable in my body.
348
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:37,587
I'm 27 now, and it's been a long process
to even get to this place,
349
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:39,756
but I'm just at the beginning
of the road still.
350
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:43,176
If I was living a different life,
351
00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:45,762
I might just transition
and move to a new city
352
00:21:45,846 --> 00:21:47,556
and live happily ever after.
353
00:21:48,432 --> 00:21:52,519
But I'm in a space where I have to have
a conversation about it with the world,
354
00:21:53,478 --> 00:21:54,938
and I don't want to.
355
00:22:06,199 --> 00:22:07,868
This is my high school right here.
356
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:10,912
When we had half days,
we would skate behind this Albertsons.
357
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:13,081
There's just, like,
flat ground around there.
358
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:15,542
We'd go and, like, skate
after school sometimes.
359
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:19,713
Adolescence and skateboarding
is, like, all about loading docks.
360
00:22:19,796 --> 00:22:22,841
- Dude, yeah. Kickflip everything.
- Let me see what I can…
361
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:25,135
What's the highest thing
that I can jump off of?
362
00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:27,888
Now it's, what's the lowest thing
that I can skate?
363
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:29,348
Yeah, definitely.
364
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:33,602
Hello?
365
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:35,687
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi!
366
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:38,023
{\an8}- Hi, Mama.
- Hi.
367
00:22:41,943 --> 00:22:43,904
- Smells like home.
- How are you?
368
00:22:43,987 --> 00:22:46,948
- Hi. How are you doing?
- I'm good. How are you?
369
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:48,742
Oh, I love you so much.
370
00:22:48,825 --> 00:22:50,535
- Good to see you.
- I missed you.
371
00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:52,871
Well,
it looks great in here, Ma.
372
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,874
Oh my God.
There's so much stuff in here. Oh my God!
373
00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:57,918
- I can't believe this, dude.
- Oh my--
374
00:22:58,001 --> 00:23:00,128
-Who in the…
-I've known you this long.
375
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:02,923
- Babies.
- Dude, look at this poster.
376
00:23:03,507 --> 00:23:06,009
That was your first poster
you were ever put on.
377
00:23:06,551 --> 00:23:09,930
"Kickflips and fish sticks."
Like, what is that?
378
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:15,018
These are the shoes that Lacey was wearing
379
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:20,357
when she made it into the semis
at the Tampa Am in 2008.
380
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,317
-Wait, those are sick-ass shoes.
-My mom--
381
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:25,570
Every time I heard people
referring to him as Lee,
382
00:23:26,113 --> 00:23:30,158
I'm just like, "Why can't I do that?"
It just… I want to do it so bad.
383
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:32,202
- That is Evan.
- Oh my God, I need that.
384
00:23:34,287 --> 00:23:36,248
Because I know she's a boy.
385
00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:38,875
He's a boy.
386
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:42,421
I will get it. I will.
387
00:23:42,504 --> 00:23:44,423
Who made this? Mom, who made this?
388
00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:46,299
-I have no idea.
-It is elaborate.
389
00:23:46,383 --> 00:23:48,760
Someone made a serious scrapbook.
390
00:23:48,844 --> 00:23:50,262
Look what it says on the back.
391
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:51,513
-Skateboard Princess.
-Wow.
392
00:23:52,514 --> 00:23:55,225
Dude. I should change
my Instagram handle to this.
393
00:23:55,308 --> 00:23:56,226
Yes.
394
00:24:07,696 --> 00:24:11,158
Welcome to Northview High School's
Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
395
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:14,828
The first inductee epitomizes
a Hall of Fame candidate.
396
00:24:14,911 --> 00:24:19,458
USA Skateboarding National Team member
for the 2020 Olympics.
397
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,668
Her accomplishments are staggering.
398
00:24:22,586 --> 00:24:23,712
What's up? Yeah.
399
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:26,006
-Thanks for having me. How you doing?
-I'm doing well.
400
00:24:26,089 --> 00:24:28,175
-Cool. Nice to see you.
-Congratulations on everything.
401
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:29,176
Thanks so much.
402
00:24:29,926 --> 00:24:32,804
We're lucky. We don't have
a lot of, uh, stand-out females,
403
00:24:32,888 --> 00:24:34,639
but the two we have…
404
00:24:34,723 --> 00:24:35,807
…you and Tatiana…
405
00:24:35,891 --> 00:24:37,559
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
406
00:24:37,642 --> 00:24:40,270
It's nice to have
two world-class athletes around.
407
00:24:40,353 --> 00:24:43,356
-Cool, man, thanks.
-Yeah. Have fun in the Olympics.
408
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:51,281
- That was awkward.
-
409
00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:52,782
I'm like, "Yeah…"
410
00:24:55,577 --> 00:24:58,246
It's just super awkward
to be referred to as female.
411
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:59,706
It just feels really weird.
412
00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:01,666
What do you think is in here?
413
00:25:15,722 --> 00:25:17,307
Oh my God. So good to see you guys.
414
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:20,101
- I know.
- Check it out. Look at you.
415
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:23,605
{\an8}Oh fuck. That's so crazy.
416
00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:25,273
Aw, look how cute you were.
417
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:29,402
You still are, but like,
you were such a little cutie.
418
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:33,323
Well, the shop wouldn't be anything
if it wasn't for the actual skateboarders,
419
00:25:33,406 --> 00:25:34,991
and that's been a part of it.
420
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:36,826
All the kids come in to hang out and stuff
421
00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:40,622
'cause there's, like, not many places
to be around here in Covina.
422
00:25:40,705 --> 00:25:42,624
-Staying out of trouble's kind of hard.
-Yeah.
423
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,001
So this place gives you,
like, more of a home,
424
00:25:45,085 --> 00:25:47,921
'cause us kids that skateboard
come from broken homes, right?
425
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:50,423
It's just like our family.
426
00:25:50,507 --> 00:25:52,717
Yeah. Yeah.
427
00:25:52,801 --> 00:25:54,344
Trying to make the most of it.
428
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:58,515
That was always the thing
about skateboarding.
429
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:00,392
We would be able to go skate.
430
00:26:00,475 --> 00:26:03,103
We could forget about all the troubles
we already have at home.
431
00:26:05,855 --> 00:26:08,149
The Covina skateboarding community,
432
00:26:08,233 --> 00:26:10,735
that's what saved my life.
433
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:14,906
There was a lot of great times,
and there was some good times,
434
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,866
but there was some bad times.
There was some…
435
00:26:18,201 --> 00:26:20,537
…heartbreak along the way.
436
00:26:24,916 --> 00:26:26,626
I say I came out of the 1980s
437
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:29,546
with three beautiful children
and an addiction to meth.
438
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:33,550
My mom and dad met in rehab.
It's where I was conceived.
439
00:26:34,676 --> 00:26:37,053
When I had Lacey,
I was in treatment.
440
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:40,223
And I got home,
and not long after, I relapsed.
441
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:41,474
And then, um,
442
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,810
my sister had locked the door,
443
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,730
and they said,
"You can't have your babies."
444
00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:52,277
And I could hear Lacey
behind the door, crying for me.
445
00:26:53,695 --> 00:26:56,865
Calling, "Mommy, Mommy."
Banging on the door.
446
00:26:58,491 --> 00:27:00,660
I mean, how can I get that
out of my head, ever?
447
00:27:03,663 --> 00:27:07,208
I just feel like I missed out
on so much time with my family.
448
00:27:08,793 --> 00:27:12,422
My dad was a rock star
in bands and very talented.
449
00:27:12,922 --> 00:27:14,633
Also, he was a junkie.
450
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:18,637
So, you know, it was a rocky road.
451
00:27:19,429 --> 00:27:22,432
It cut his life short.
I mean, he died, like, young.
452
00:27:24,726 --> 00:27:27,395
End up having
to put them through foster care.
453
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:31,399
I think I was three years old,
454
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:35,695
and I'd stand outside
and watch my two foster brothers skate.
455
00:27:36,571 --> 00:27:39,574
I would skate all the time
and try to learn how to kickflip.
456
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:42,661
I love this photo.
457
00:27:42,744 --> 00:27:44,079
Which one is that?
458
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:47,123
Where it's my third birthday
and you're there standing next to me.
459
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:48,708
Helping you blow out the candles?
460
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:50,919
Yeah, and I'm like so little.
461
00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:52,671
-How cute am I?
-Teeny tiny.
462
00:27:52,754 --> 00:27:54,339
- You were cute.
-
463
00:27:54,964 --> 00:27:55,840
I know.
464
00:27:55,924 --> 00:28:00,470
My mom tried her absolute best
to, like, get her shit together,
465
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:01,429
and she did, you know?
466
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:03,139
Camera real quick, Mom! Ah!
467
00:28:03,223 --> 00:28:06,017
I'm videoing, taping, or whatever.
468
00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:09,270
My mom got us back,
and so I was, like, living at home.
469
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:10,605
Adjust.
470
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:14,317
We hardly had anything,
but, you know, she kept me skating
471
00:28:15,193 --> 00:28:16,528
because it made me happy.
472
00:28:16,611 --> 00:28:18,446
She's got that one wired.
473
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:21,157
My mom would drive me
to competitions once a month.
474
00:28:21,241 --> 00:28:24,911
- That was a majority of my teen years.
- Lacey!
475
00:28:24,994 --> 00:28:26,371
Then I got sponsored.
476
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:29,332
-Oh wow.
-These are all of the T-shirts.
477
00:28:29,916 --> 00:28:31,960
Oh yeah, from…
My mom collected all the T-shirts
478
00:28:32,043 --> 00:28:35,088
from the Damn Am
and Tampa Am series anytime we'd go.
479
00:28:35,171 --> 00:28:37,173
This you got at a Super Girl,
and you were like,
480
00:28:37,257 --> 00:28:40,343
"Yeah, no.
I'm never gonna rock that stuff."
481
00:28:40,427 --> 00:28:41,720
Wow.
482
00:28:41,803 --> 00:28:44,556
Like, nine months out of the year,
we were on an airplane.
483
00:28:44,639 --> 00:28:48,309
It was hard having the responsibility
sometime as being manager.
484
00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:51,146
Something would not go right
over the weekend,
485
00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:52,731
and I'd get home and get a phone call.
486
00:28:52,814 --> 00:28:55,358
Like, "Why wasn't she wearing this
and didn't have this on?"
487
00:28:55,442 --> 00:28:57,861
And that's where, I think,
a lot of the tension came
488
00:28:57,944 --> 00:29:00,029
because I did find myself making sure,
489
00:29:00,113 --> 00:29:03,324
"Okay. You got stickers, right?
You got your T-shirts, right? Got this?"
490
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:05,869
And, God, I didn't wanna be that person.
491
00:29:05,952 --> 00:29:07,579
I didn't wanna be that mom.
492
00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:11,875
Because Ant and I went that day.
We were all taking photos of you guys.
493
00:29:11,958 --> 00:29:15,086
I had my dreams
that I wanted to fulfill,
494
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:18,298
but there was also
my financial situation at home, like…
495
00:29:19,007 --> 00:29:21,301
My mom wasn't exactly thriving.
496
00:29:22,051 --> 00:29:25,054
She was, like, injured
and, like, on workman's comp and shit.
497
00:29:25,138 --> 00:29:29,976
And so, like, a lot of the income
was, like, on my skating.
498
00:29:30,059 --> 00:29:31,811
First big, grown-up trip.
499
00:29:31,895 --> 00:29:36,107
In 2008, at the Maloof Money Cup,
I won $25,000.
500
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:38,318
That's what we lived on.
501
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:41,029
If Leo had a choice
when they were younger,
502
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:43,239
they would have never entered
all these contests,
503
00:29:43,323 --> 00:29:45,325
{\an8}but, up until recently,
there wasn't an option
504
00:29:45,408 --> 00:29:48,286
{\an8}for women skateboarders
to have a career outside of competition.
505
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:55,335
No brands really took girls skating
seriously for many years.
506
00:29:55,418 --> 00:29:58,838
So, it was like,
if I win the one competition a year…
507
00:29:59,589 --> 00:30:00,423
Okay…
508
00:30:00,507 --> 00:30:02,717
…that was like the only way
to win some money.
509
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,928
- Second place.
- Second!
510
00:30:05,011 --> 00:30:06,471
This was Leo's ticket out.
511
00:30:06,554 --> 00:30:10,391
Leo was willing to go along
with whatever needed to happen
512
00:30:10,475 --> 00:30:14,145
to make money to survive
and to be a skateboarder.
513
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:16,397
- Are there more of these somewhere?
- Mmm…
514
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:18,942
It's amazing
to look back at all this stuff.
515
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,529
I've gone through many a transformation.
516
00:30:29,202 --> 00:30:31,079
{\an8}Have you tried it ever before?
517
00:30:31,579 --> 00:30:33,957
{\an8}Like that. Like really grab my arms.
518
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,208
{\an8}- Just stomp it.
- Ready.
519
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:39,921
- Whoo! We're just gonna go. Go!
- You ready?
520
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,509
- Do you wanna take a break?
- Uh, three time's a charm.
521
00:30:44,592 --> 00:30:47,178
All right, we're going.
Three time's a charm.
522
00:30:49,764 --> 00:30:52,225
-
-Whoo!
523
00:30:52,809 --> 00:30:54,811
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
524
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:56,563
How many days have you been skating?
525
00:30:56,646 --> 00:30:59,607
I felt a lack of inclusivity.
526
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:01,985
I felt like
I didn't belong in skateboarding,
527
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:03,736
like there was no space for me.
528
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:07,782
And I know that
there are other skaters that feel this.
529
00:31:09,450 --> 00:31:12,871
I wanna do more events like this,
get more people involved.
530
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:15,540
Create our own industry
or something, you know?
531
00:31:15,623 --> 00:31:17,792
Just like queer skate industry.
532
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:20,962
Hello, everyone.
533
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:25,758
Thank you for coming to my event
that we're all here. Whatever. Um…
534
00:31:25,842 --> 00:31:28,386
We'll go around really quick.
Just share your name,
535
00:31:28,469 --> 00:31:33,141
pronouns, and one word
that, uh, kind of describes, uh,
536
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:35,226
you know, how you are coming
to the space right now.
537
00:31:35,310 --> 00:31:39,355
I'm Gigi. I use she/her pronouns and, um…
538
00:31:39,439 --> 00:31:40,899
…jazz.
539
00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:46,321
I use he/him pronouns, um, privately,
not really publicly right now.
540
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:47,947
Uh…
541
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:49,741
Yeah, and I'm excited to actually learn
542
00:31:49,824 --> 00:31:52,410
how to facilitate
learning on the skateboard,
543
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:54,871
and I'm excited to be sharing this space
with everyone here,
544
00:31:54,954 --> 00:31:56,122
so thanks for coming.
545
00:31:56,205 --> 00:31:58,791
I felt really empowered
after just saying it.
546
00:31:58,875 --> 00:32:01,878
And it made me think, "Well, maybe I can,
547
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:06,424
you know, just, like,
publicly talk about my gender identity
548
00:32:06,507 --> 00:32:09,344
and, like, what I've felt my whole life."
549
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:16,517
{\an8}I hope Lee comes out.
I hope they tell the world they're trans.
550
00:32:17,018 --> 00:32:20,021
{\an8}You know what that would do for me,
personally? Just being like,
551
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:25,234
shit, like, that's what we need,
is someone who's got a big platform
552
00:32:25,318 --> 00:32:26,736
to be like, "It's chill."
553
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:28,821
Like, it's chill.
554
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:32,408
Like… that would change the game.
555
00:32:36,412 --> 00:32:39,123
-
-
556
00:32:46,714 --> 00:32:49,217
You want to talk to me
about this outfit you have going on?
557
00:32:49,884 --> 00:32:51,678
I don't know. Just feels good.
558
00:32:53,429 --> 00:32:57,517
Lee had kind of just found
his stride in, like…
559
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,229
You can tell he was feeling
this, like, masculinity.
560
00:33:01,312 --> 00:33:03,398
It was really empowering and cool.
561
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:07,735
He was like,
"I'm ready to, like, own this."
562
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:08,861
♪ Comin' out with a bang… ♪
563
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:11,280
And he was like,
"I want to come into the studio."
564
00:33:11,781 --> 00:33:13,408
"Let's take a bunch of portraits."
565
00:33:14,117 --> 00:33:17,203
And we're just taking photos,
and I'm like, "This is fucking dope."
566
00:33:19,914 --> 00:33:22,792
But I felt like that was a moment
where he was like,
567
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:25,378
"I just don't give a shit anymore."
568
00:33:34,053 --> 00:33:36,264
I wanted to post it
because I like it.
569
00:33:36,764 --> 00:33:38,850
That was just the first caption
that came to mind.
570
00:33:45,565 --> 00:33:48,109
Yeah, there are
so many comments on this shit.
571
00:34:05,251 --> 00:34:07,962
I obviously knew
that those comments were coming,
572
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:11,299
so if I was to say,
"I want he/him pronouns," publicly,
573
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:15,511
the whole world would be like, "Oh my God.
You can't skate in these contests."
574
00:34:18,931 --> 00:34:20,516
The Olympics are in July.
575
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,561
It's, like, eight months or so away,
something like that.
576
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:26,856
And so I keep telling myself, like,
"It's just so close."
577
00:34:26,939 --> 00:34:29,233
"I might as well do it
because it's so close."
578
00:34:30,985 --> 00:34:34,280
I've been toughing things out for so long,
and that's all I know.
579
00:34:34,363 --> 00:34:37,909
And maybe I deserve to, like,
pay attention to what my needs are.
580
00:34:39,368 --> 00:34:43,081
I don't even try
because I don't feel like I'm…
581
00:34:46,834 --> 00:34:48,544
…I'm good enough.
582
00:35:06,062 --> 00:35:07,647
Yes. Hi. How can I help you?
583
00:35:07,730 --> 00:35:12,068
Hi, I wanted to set up an appointment
for a consultation for top surgery.
584
00:35:12,151 --> 00:35:13,945
Do you have your letter?
585
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:15,279
Uh…
586
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:18,783
No, I don't. What do I need a letter from?
587
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:21,536
From your therapist.
588
00:35:22,161 --> 00:35:24,330
- Okay.
- Clearing you for surgery.
589
00:35:24,413 --> 00:35:26,374
Um, do you have a preferred name?
590
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:28,459
Nah, Lacey is good.
591
00:35:29,168 --> 00:35:30,128
Okay.
592
00:35:33,548 --> 00:35:35,383
You don't want them to call you Lee?
593
00:35:35,466 --> 00:35:38,177
And what is your addressso I can register you?
594
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:43,432
I'm sorry. For my preferred name,
can you actually have them call me Lee?
595
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:44,767
Just L-E-E.
596
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:47,478
Give me a sec. Let me--
597
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:49,689
Um, can we book that appointment?
598
00:35:49,772 --> 00:35:53,985
But also, I have, like,
a pretty intense travel schedule,
599
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:58,698
like, because I compete and travel
for, like, skateboarding professionally,
600
00:35:58,781 --> 00:36:01,909
and, uh, I was hoping
that maybe I could book,
601
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:04,996
like, two or three appointments.
Just so that--
602
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,457
I can't.Because I go according to what I have.
603
00:36:08,541 --> 00:36:09,709
Based on my next available…
604
00:36:09,792 --> 00:36:12,503
The moment I discovered
that you could get top surgery,
605
00:36:12,587 --> 00:36:15,256
seven years ago or something,
I've wanted to get it.
606
00:36:16,549 --> 00:36:20,261
But every single month,
I'm traveling nonstop for competitions.
607
00:36:22,388 --> 00:36:28,311
I definitely don't have all the answers
for what I'm trying to achieve.
608
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:31,939
All right. Is that everything?
609
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:36,152
I just, like… I'm taking steps
that feel, like, right for me.
610
00:36:37,111 --> 00:36:39,363
Kiss.
611
00:36:45,578 --> 00:36:46,662
I'm excited.
612
00:36:49,332 --> 00:36:52,793
I like when we get to go places together
and stay in nice hotels.
613
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:53,711
Yeah.
614
00:36:57,673 --> 00:36:59,133
And where are we right now?
615
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:02,220
{\an8}We're at the Super Crown in Rio.
616
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,642
{\an8}Baker. Coast-to-coast.
617
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:15,608
All these people around him
618
00:37:15,691 --> 00:37:17,860
were so excited
that he was going to the Olympics,
619
00:37:17,944 --> 00:37:23,074
his mom, his manager, me, his fans.
Any single time he went to an interview,
620
00:37:23,157 --> 00:37:25,159
it was like,
"You are going to the Olympics?"
621
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,620
Whole career became, like, the Olympics.
622
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,790
I was like, "Do what makes you happy."
But also,
623
00:37:30,873 --> 00:37:32,625
"When are you gonna go
to the Olympics again?"
624
00:37:32,708 --> 00:37:35,544
"That's crazy, you know?
Do that, like, if you can."
625
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:39,840
Norway.
626
00:37:41,509 --> 00:37:42,551
London.
627
00:37:45,638 --> 00:37:50,017
We basically have no idea
where we're gonna go, when we're gonna go.
628
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:51,435
We're in it for the adventure.
629
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,938
Spain. Portugal.
630
00:37:56,816 --> 00:37:58,150
Then on the Dew Tour.
631
00:37:59,735 --> 00:38:01,737
{\an8}That's an easy day for Baker.
632
00:38:01,821 --> 00:38:03,781
{\an8}Going for the long nose manual.
633
00:38:03,864 --> 00:38:06,450
{\an8}Directly after that,
I skated Minneapolis.
634
00:38:07,326 --> 00:38:10,454
{\an8} Makingtheir 14th X Games appearance.
635
00:38:11,038 --> 00:38:14,125
Yeah, so that's been four months
of literally nonstop.
636
00:38:17,003 --> 00:38:18,671
Yeah, it's a lot.
637
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:27,096
We are in Mexico City.
638
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:33,978
I've thought about
what would happen if I transitioned
639
00:38:34,061 --> 00:38:36,397
and how would that affect
my relationship with Mel.
640
00:38:37,606 --> 00:38:40,860
The uncertainty of, like,
how things will change
641
00:38:40,943 --> 00:38:43,779
and how we will continue
to relate to each other.
642
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:48,951
I mean, there's no way
that I would never not be supportive,
643
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:52,997
but it is, like, slightly scary for me.
644
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,750
And I'm not gonna say
I'll feel one way or the other.
645
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:59,295
Just… I'll see what happens, I guess.
646
00:38:59,378 --> 00:39:01,839
…one of five.
What are we gonna see?
647
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:08,888
It would be really hard
if we had to break up.
648
00:39:09,513 --> 00:39:11,182
That's not what I want.
649
00:39:11,265 --> 00:39:15,019
But I also wanna be happy
and not be, like, avoiding
650
00:39:15,102 --> 00:39:17,563
what I need to get done, you know?
651
00:39:22,109 --> 00:39:26,197
I feel like watching those skate videos
last night were long overdue for me.
652
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,033
I know. I've been telling you
for a long time that I wanted to show you.
653
00:39:29,116 --> 00:39:31,243
Alexis was like,
"You've never seen Welcome to Hell?"
654
00:39:31,327 --> 00:39:34,288
That was like my fucking life.
I watched it every day.
655
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:36,457
What did your mom say?
656
00:39:36,957 --> 00:39:40,378
She said, "The video is amazing.
I gotta admit, I shed a little tear."
657
00:39:40,461 --> 00:39:43,089
"The memories flood back.
I love Melissa, and I love you."
658
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:44,256
Like, "Blech!"
659
00:39:44,924 --> 00:39:45,758
Cute.
660
00:39:45,841 --> 00:39:47,843
Fuck.
661
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:50,679
After we get back to New York,
662
00:39:50,763 --> 00:39:52,973
you'll have a month
until you have to go out again, right?
663
00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:54,058
Ten days.
664
00:39:54,141 --> 00:39:56,602
Okay, that's true.
That's actually not very much time at all.
665
00:39:56,685 --> 00:39:59,063
Oh my God,
and then my second appointment.
666
00:40:00,022 --> 00:40:02,650
Oh yeah. That's coming soon.
667
00:40:03,275 --> 00:40:08,406
But I just want to ask about
how I want the scars to look and stuff.
668
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:11,492
Mmm. Interesting.
I didn't know you could do that.
669
00:40:11,575 --> 00:40:14,954
And then you get to pick, like,
your nipple size and stuff, I guess.
670
00:40:15,037 --> 00:40:17,289
Crazy. What size nipple do you want?
671
00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:18,999
- Regular.
-
672
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:20,668
Just so it all looks normal?
673
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:22,503
And then, like, set the date.
674
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:26,465
Day after Tokyo.
675
00:40:37,226 --> 00:40:40,563
We're going to
the Nike SB video premiere tonight.
676
00:40:41,689 --> 00:40:45,151
A video part is, like,
each skater gets, like, two to three,
677
00:40:45,234 --> 00:40:49,113
maybe four minutes of footage.
And it's, like, their best street footage.
678
00:40:49,196 --> 00:40:51,657
I'm so excited. We gotta go.
679
00:40:53,367 --> 00:40:54,410
You ready?
680
00:40:57,913 --> 00:41:00,499
{\an8}With a video part,
you put your soul into it.
681
00:41:00,583 --> 00:41:03,919
{\an8}It's like a reflection
of the way you skate. You pick the song.
682
00:41:04,003 --> 00:41:06,547
Everything about it
is an expression of who you are.
683
00:41:07,756 --> 00:41:11,677
If a competition is like a test,
this is like your thesis.
684
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,888
This is like--
Honestly, like, who are you?
685
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:17,308
Shooting a video part
is like having a baby
686
00:41:17,391 --> 00:41:20,895
but lasts three years,
and it's a terrible pregnancy.
687
00:41:21,687 --> 00:41:26,233
You bleed for it,
you break bones, you snap ligaments.
688
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:30,321
You're putting your whole self out there
for everybody to see.
689
00:41:31,864 --> 00:41:33,073
It's gnarly.
690
00:41:34,033 --> 00:41:36,911
The average kid,
if you go to any skate park
691
00:41:36,994 --> 00:41:40,748
{\an8}and you ask them who won
the Olympic qualifier over the weekend,
692
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:43,250
{\an8}uh, nobody's gonna know.
693
00:41:43,959 --> 00:41:48,464
Ultimately, what gets the most reverence
in the skate world
694
00:41:48,547 --> 00:41:49,798
is what you've done on video.
695
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:53,469
If I think of a video part
I connected with,
696
00:41:53,552 --> 00:41:55,930
Brian Anderson in Welcome to Hell.
697
00:41:56,555 --> 00:42:00,226
He's rolling up at a hubba.
He looks like he's gonna kill this ledge.
698
00:42:00,726 --> 00:42:02,645
Elissa Steamer in Welcome to Hell.
699
00:42:03,729 --> 00:42:05,814
When I was little brat,
I'd just watch her part
700
00:42:05,898 --> 00:42:07,816
and be like,
"I could do that. I'll learn that."
701
00:42:09,318 --> 00:42:13,864
To, like, have a part in a video
that Elissa also has a part in,
702
00:42:13,948 --> 00:42:15,699
it's just like, "Fuck."
703
00:42:17,451 --> 00:42:18,786
How did I get here?
704
00:42:19,495 --> 00:42:21,413
I hope everyone here
enjoys the video.
705
00:42:21,497 --> 00:42:23,374
- Whoo!
- And here it is.
706
00:42:23,457 --> 00:42:26,418
- Yeah!
-
707
00:42:48,315 --> 00:42:51,068
-
-
708
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:53,487
Dude, you ripped!
709
00:42:53,571 --> 00:42:57,950
{\an8}I loved your part. Oh my God,
I loved your songs. They were rad.
710
00:42:58,033 --> 00:43:01,537
{\an8}When I'm able to just skate,
and especially with queer community,
711
00:43:01,620 --> 00:43:04,331
because I feel a sense of freedom
and connected with myself.
712
00:43:04,415 --> 00:43:06,709
{\an8}- Thank you.
- I'm so proud of you.
713
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:09,211
{\an8}- Everything you do is always beautiful.
- Aw!
714
00:43:09,295 --> 00:43:10,546
{\an8}-Yeah.
-Mimi!
715
00:43:10,629 --> 00:43:13,424
I've been so influenced by sponsors
716
00:43:13,507 --> 00:43:16,176
and, like, being marketable
for so many years.
717
00:43:16,677 --> 00:43:18,262
I know! Thanks.
718
00:43:19,179 --> 00:43:21,307
What I really feel
like I want right now
719
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:23,309
is to just focus on skating.
720
00:43:23,851 --> 00:43:25,352
Just focusing on a video part
721
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:28,272
and never having
to compromise for a contest.
722
00:44:04,725 --> 00:44:07,478
There was a time
when I was feeling really upset
723
00:44:07,561 --> 00:44:10,689
and very, like, depressed
and disconnected from the industry.
724
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:16,612
And for a long time, I was trying
to escape my skateboarding identity.
725
00:44:17,404 --> 00:44:19,531
I just had, like, a bad taste in my mouth.
726
00:44:22,910 --> 00:44:24,828
The big endorsement deals
in skateboarding
727
00:44:24,912 --> 00:44:26,789
are with the shoe companies.
728
00:44:26,872 --> 00:44:28,791
{\an8}Adidas, Nike, Vans, all of--
729
00:44:28,874 --> 00:44:31,669
{\an8}Those are the only people
that pay you, like, enough
730
00:44:31,752 --> 00:44:33,212
{\an8}to really make a good living.
731
00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:42,513
They support you with contests,
flights, all that sort of stuff.
732
00:44:42,596 --> 00:44:45,724
So, he was talking to sponsors.
733
00:44:45,808 --> 00:44:47,601
He asked for like 500 bucks.
734
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:50,145
And they were like,
"We just don't have 500 bucks."
735
00:44:50,229 --> 00:44:53,524
Baker has beena dominant force in women's skateboarding.
736
00:44:53,607 --> 00:44:56,860
It's like, you have
one of the greatest skaters.
737
00:44:56,944 --> 00:44:59,738
Female, male, gender, doesn't matter.
Just, like, a great skater,
738
00:45:00,614 --> 00:45:02,074
winning these contests.
739
00:45:03,033 --> 00:45:06,954
I think he went and bought a pair of shoes
to win the contest in.
740
00:45:07,037 --> 00:45:08,831
That's fucking insane.
741
00:45:10,332 --> 00:45:12,126
They were
one of the best in the world,
742
00:45:12,209 --> 00:45:13,877
winning in all these contests,
743
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:16,797
{\an8}but no one was interested
in putting them on the team
744
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,424
{\an8}or including them in anything.
745
00:45:22,302 --> 00:45:25,639
I had a career, and then
it just went away for some reason.
746
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:28,100
And I went to school
and got a job because I'm like,
747
00:45:28,183 --> 00:45:30,185
"Okay, well,
I guess there's nothing for me."
748
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:37,317
When Leo was younger,
749
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:41,697
going from long hair to short hair,
watching sponsors drop away,
750
00:45:41,780 --> 00:45:43,240
that was tough.
751
00:45:43,323 --> 00:45:45,743
Well, was that gonna be repeated?
752
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:48,662
It's a whole different level of worry now.
753
00:45:54,543 --> 00:45:56,587
When do we have to wear this?
Like out there?
754
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:59,214
- At the announcement.
- So, they only made extra-large?
755
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:02,009
-
-What do the boys take?
756
00:46:02,092 --> 00:46:04,011
You can't wear that.
You can't.
757
00:46:04,094 --> 00:46:05,554
♪ It's raining men ♪
758
00:46:07,431 --> 00:46:09,099
- What is this?
-
759
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:13,520
-Can you get Lee to wear this just today?
-I can get Lee to wear it just for today.
760
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:16,231
- That'd be great. That'd be great.
-
761
00:46:16,732 --> 00:46:20,611
The other returnto the team this season, Lee Baker.
762
00:46:24,907 --> 00:46:28,869
The Olympics boils down
to who's the king and queen of a sport.
763
00:46:28,952 --> 00:46:31,955
-
-
764
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:36,293
{\an8}And by participating in the Olympics,
we're adhering to this whole binary thing
765
00:46:36,376 --> 00:46:38,086
{\an8}of like, "There's only women and men,"
766
00:46:38,170 --> 00:46:40,422
{\an8}when, in fact, we know
there's a whole spectrum of genders
767
00:46:40,506 --> 00:46:44,384
and that a lot of skateboarders
don't identify as a male or female,
768
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:47,721
and they wanna skate and participate
at this elite level too.
769
00:46:49,515 --> 00:46:52,643
But then they have to pick a gender
in order to skate.
770
00:46:55,395 --> 00:46:57,648
In competitions,
I just get so stripped
771
00:46:57,731 --> 00:47:00,275
of everything about me
that makes me who I am.
772
00:47:06,198 --> 00:47:10,410
Like, I just get lost in, like,
what everyone wants for me.
773
00:47:12,704 --> 00:47:15,332
There's all these factors at play.
My sponsors.
774
00:47:15,415 --> 00:47:18,502
What's good for my career.
What everyone thinks is gonna be best.
775
00:47:18,585 --> 00:47:20,379
"Oh, but the Olympics is so cool."
776
00:47:20,462 --> 00:47:23,257
"It's the first one ever.
This is skateboarding history."
777
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:26,343
All of these voices that are just nonstop.
778
00:47:26,426 --> 00:47:28,262
"Olympics. Olympics. Olympics."
779
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:38,272
You have reachedHousing Works Health Services Department.
780
00:47:38,355 --> 00:47:42,192
If this is a life-threatening emergency,please hang up and call 911.
781
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:44,945
Otherwise, someone will be right with you.Thank you.
782
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:52,160
It's like, "How many fucking years
am I gonna put this off?" You know?
783
00:47:52,786 --> 00:47:55,247
How much longer
do I have to do this for before I like…
784
00:47:56,665 --> 00:47:58,750
I don't know, maybe forever, you know.
785
00:48:03,505 --> 00:48:07,467
And everyone's like,
"It's the Olympics. It's just one year."
786
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:13,181
If I wait one more year,
there might not be any more Leo.
787
00:48:14,266 --> 00:48:16,810
There's just like
no escaping the dysphoria.
788
00:48:17,936 --> 00:48:19,605
Just like, my skin's crawling.
789
00:48:20,188 --> 00:48:22,524
Like right now it is, talking about it.
790
00:48:25,027 --> 00:48:26,862
Like going
to the doctors and shit,
791
00:48:26,945 --> 00:48:30,115
trying to get the letters
for my top surgery
792
00:48:30,198 --> 00:48:32,743
and, like, that process…
793
00:48:32,826 --> 00:48:35,454
Like, one doctor said no
to the writing the letter,
794
00:48:35,996 --> 00:48:40,542
and it just, like, fucking destroyed me,
because I'm just like, "Dude, please."
795
00:48:42,336 --> 00:48:44,630
Like, "Just… just give me the letter."
796
00:48:47,841 --> 00:48:49,760
Like, the clock is just ticking.
797
00:48:51,428 --> 00:48:53,180
- How may I help you today?
- Hi.
798
00:48:53,263 --> 00:48:55,140
I'm calling because it says
799
00:48:55,223 --> 00:48:58,810
that, uh, Housing Works
is in my network for insurance.
800
00:48:58,894 --> 00:49:01,188
I have to reach overto some other staff members.
801
00:49:01,271 --> 00:49:05,442
It may take a whilebecause we have a dozen or so numbers,
802
00:49:05,525 --> 00:49:08,111
and we have to dial down the listand get one of them to answer.
803
00:49:08,195 --> 00:49:10,906
-So just give me a moment.
-All right.
804
00:49:10,989 --> 00:49:13,784
I wish that
I just wasn't here doing this.
805
00:49:14,868 --> 00:49:17,162
Then I'm like,
"No, I have to, like, skate,
806
00:49:17,245 --> 00:49:21,750
and I have to show up for, like, my mom
and the community and all this stuff."
807
00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:26,088
You know, but sometimes
I actually just want to fucking die, so…
808
00:49:27,214 --> 00:49:29,299
That's like… That's it.
809
00:49:39,101 --> 00:49:42,229
No choicewill ever be harder than this one.
810
00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:47,609
{\an8}I… I just… I can't get myself
to, like, be like, "I'm done."
811
00:49:47,693 --> 00:49:49,194
{\an8}I just feel like I have to, you know?
812
00:49:49,277 --> 00:49:53,490
{\an8}Like I feel like making the decision
not to compete anymore
813
00:49:53,573 --> 00:49:56,868
or, like, go for the Olympics
is, like, actually super emotional.
814
00:49:56,952 --> 00:49:59,997
So, does that meanyou are gonna pull out then?
815
00:50:16,638 --> 00:50:20,100
{\an8}Tonight, eight ofthe best women skateboarders in the world
816
00:50:20,183 --> 00:50:22,185
{\an8}will be embarking on the path
817
00:50:22,269 --> 00:50:26,356
{\an8}to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
818
00:50:27,232 --> 00:50:32,237
Make some noise right herefor Lacey Baker!
819
00:50:34,740 --> 00:50:37,325
I don't know.
I feel so happy when I go skate, you know?
820
00:50:38,994 --> 00:50:40,203
Like, every time.
821
00:50:41,413 --> 00:50:42,748
It feels so good.
822
00:50:43,498 --> 00:50:46,793
And I come in this space,
and I just feel so not good.
823
00:50:49,629 --> 00:50:52,257
There's a wound inside of me
that just keeps getting poked
824
00:50:52,340 --> 00:50:57,387
anytime they're like, "Okay, ladies!"
Or like, "This is the women's semifinal!"
825
00:51:00,599 --> 00:51:05,062
Just, like, poking at this part of me
that's just like…
826
00:51:05,145 --> 00:51:06,605
…like, just so done.
827
00:51:12,402 --> 00:51:15,447
I'm just trying
to live my life outside of my head.
828
00:51:18,408 --> 00:51:22,579
And like, go to the skate park,
and half the people are calling me Lacey.
829
00:51:22,662 --> 00:51:25,082
The other half are calling me Lee,
and I just want to skate,
830
00:51:25,165 --> 00:51:27,084
but I can't even focus because it's like…
831
00:51:28,293 --> 00:51:30,545
There's too much noise
in my head about, like,
832
00:51:31,296 --> 00:51:33,465
who the fuck
I'm supposed to be in that moment.
833
00:51:52,275 --> 00:51:55,195
-Hi!
-Oh my God.
834
00:51:55,278 --> 00:51:57,030
I wanna show you raw clips.
835
00:52:01,701 --> 00:52:03,286
Was it too long?
836
00:52:03,370 --> 00:52:04,371
- What?
- Okay.
837
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,373
You're so stupid. Shut up.
838
00:52:07,582 --> 00:52:09,459
Was the grind too long?
839
00:52:09,543 --> 00:52:10,794
Oh my God. I love your--
840
00:52:10,877 --> 00:52:13,004
Tell me how you feel about this outfit.
Be honest.
841
00:52:13,088 --> 00:52:14,339
This outfit's sick as hell.
842
00:52:14,422 --> 00:52:17,425
Because my… my binder…
Like, you can tell I have tits.
843
00:52:17,926 --> 00:52:21,263
No, it looks like you have… It looks
like you just work out. What do you mean?
844
00:52:21,346 --> 00:52:24,015
Okay, I don't know.
It just like… It's my dysphoria.
845
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,433
Yeah, no. You look great.
846
00:52:25,517 --> 00:52:27,060
Don't even trip about that.
847
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:31,481
{\an8}Also, my clips are so the opposite.I'm like, "Can you tell I have boobs?"
848
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:37,195
- That was sick as fuck, dude.
- Um, Cher.
849
00:52:37,279 --> 00:52:39,656
- Yeah.
- I quit the Olympics.
850
00:52:40,866 --> 00:52:43,702
Dude, I'm so fucking hypedyou did that.
851
00:52:43,785 --> 00:52:45,203
- Yeah, me too.
- Me too.
852
00:52:46,496 --> 00:52:48,373
You could be out skating and--
853
00:52:48,456 --> 00:52:51,084
I was just on top
of the quarter pipe taking my run,
854
00:52:51,168 --> 00:52:55,005
and they were just like, "Lacey Baker."
And then I flew home, and I was like…
855
00:52:56,173 --> 00:52:58,592
"I can't do it anymore.
I just can't fucking do it."
856
00:52:59,467 --> 00:53:01,845
I want to do this shit with you guys.
857
00:53:02,387 --> 00:53:03,513
Fuck, yes. This is--
858
00:53:03,597 --> 00:53:05,765
We're street skaters.
That's just what it is.
859
00:53:05,849 --> 00:53:07,100
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
860
00:53:07,184 --> 00:53:09,644
We're skating street.
We're done with the competition.
861
00:53:09,728 --> 00:53:11,021
We're getting clips.
862
00:53:16,776 --> 00:53:18,236
Fucking sent an email, like,
863
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,198
"I'm resigning
from the USA Women's Olympic Team,"
864
00:53:21,281 --> 00:53:22,782
and then I was just like…
865
00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:27,120
Like, I just felt, like, this freedom.
I was just like, "Clean slate."
866
00:53:28,872 --> 00:53:32,167
I mean, I get why people would see that
as a crazy decision.
867
00:53:32,250 --> 00:53:36,796
Oh, it's history, and you could easily go,
and you're going to choose not to?
868
00:53:38,757 --> 00:53:41,635
I could have kept putting myself on hold
869
00:53:42,344 --> 00:53:44,638
for another year
and then, like, another four years
870
00:53:44,721 --> 00:53:47,307
and then another four… like, or whatever
871
00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:49,059
for every Olympics until I die.
872
00:53:49,142 --> 00:53:51,436
Or I could just be like,
"You know what? I'm done."
873
00:53:51,978 --> 00:53:54,022
Know what's crazier
than doing the Olympics?
874
00:53:54,105 --> 00:53:55,398
Saying, "Fuck the Olympics."
875
00:53:59,194 --> 00:54:02,364
I feel like I've served
my fucking time.
876
00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:06,201
And I should just do what I wanna do.
877
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,288
I stayed Lacey Baker
for way too fucking long.
878
00:54:11,581 --> 00:54:15,126
I'm just, like, done
with the fucking split life shit.
879
00:54:16,962 --> 00:54:18,505
Everybody knows how big of a deal
880
00:54:18,588 --> 00:54:20,966
it would have been
if he skated in the Olympics,
881
00:54:22,008 --> 00:54:25,053
but for him to be like, "No, fuck that.
I'm gonna do my own thing,"
882
00:54:25,136 --> 00:54:27,138
is the biggest punk rock thing
you could do.
883
00:54:31,351 --> 00:54:34,312
I'm gonna do something different
that I've never done before
884
00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:37,774
and really hope for the best
because I don't know what's gonna happen.
885
00:54:38,566 --> 00:54:39,985
Like really, I don't know.
886
00:54:41,486 --> 00:54:44,322
So I'm like, "Fuck!
Am I gonna lose everything?"
887
00:54:54,082 --> 00:54:57,836
{\an8}Fast-breaking developmentsin the coronavirus emergency in the US
888
00:54:57,919 --> 00:54:59,129
and around the world.
889
00:54:59,212 --> 00:55:01,589
The number of cases soaring just today.
890
00:55:01,673 --> 00:55:04,634
Eighty million Americansnow told to stay at home.
891
00:55:05,677 --> 00:55:09,222
Here in New York City,a state of emergency declared as well.
892
00:55:11,391 --> 00:55:14,019
- Ugh! It's not necessary.
- There's probably room in here.
893
00:55:14,102 --> 00:55:18,732
We packed up our whole lives,
and we're heading upstate.
894
00:55:18,815 --> 00:55:22,944
Just 'cause we don't wanna get,
like, stuck inside for however long.
895
00:55:25,864 --> 00:55:28,241
Today,we learned the 2020 games
896
00:55:28,325 --> 00:55:30,118
will be pushed back to next year,
897
00:55:30,201 --> 00:55:31,870
due to the coronavirus.
898
00:55:41,588 --> 00:55:44,341
{\an8}Leo was like,
"Hey, let's go look at these puppies."
899
00:55:44,424 --> 00:55:46,092
{\an8}And I was like,
"All right, we can go look,
900
00:55:46,176 --> 00:55:49,471
{\an8}but we're not gonna get a puppy right now.
Let's just go look."
901
00:55:50,347 --> 00:55:52,807
Then we were like,
"Oh my God! We're gonna get a puppy!"
902
00:55:56,936 --> 00:55:57,979
Wow.
903
00:56:03,234 --> 00:56:06,404
We're totally opposites in every single
possible way you can imagine.
904
00:56:06,488 --> 00:56:08,823
Pretty cute life, huh?
Don't you think?
905
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:11,868
Which came out a lot during COVID.
906
00:56:11,951 --> 00:56:13,036
It's not bad.
907
00:56:14,245 --> 00:56:17,832
Let's give Carlos a carrot.
That's what we look forward to these days.
908
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,127
Leo is a total homebody.
909
00:56:21,211 --> 00:56:22,837
Good boy.
910
00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:25,048
I am the opposite.
911
00:56:25,131 --> 00:56:27,300
♪ Gotta have faith in me… ♪
912
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:30,345
I wanna travel all the time.
I wanna be social all the time.
913
00:56:35,183 --> 00:56:36,017
Yeah.
914
00:56:36,976 --> 00:56:41,064
There's no real, like, way
to plan around anything
915
00:56:41,147 --> 00:56:43,233
'cause no one knows
what the hell's gonna happen.
916
00:56:45,944 --> 00:56:48,321
But for Leo, quarantine came
at the perfect time
917
00:56:48,405 --> 00:56:49,489
for him and his transition.
918
00:56:52,033 --> 00:56:55,286
He said that, "I don't wanna be distracted
by all this noise in life."
919
00:56:55,370 --> 00:56:57,455
"I wanna be focusing on
what's happening in my body
920
00:56:57,539 --> 00:56:59,124
and really pay attention to it."
921
00:57:04,087 --> 00:57:07,382
This whole door opened up
for me to really explore.
922
00:57:10,218 --> 00:57:12,929
It's just easier to be in private.
923
00:57:14,097 --> 00:57:16,558
You can just feel how you feel
and just be who you are.
924
00:57:33,992 --> 00:57:36,035
Just, like, so fucking overwhelmed.
925
00:57:39,747 --> 00:57:41,291
Just thinking about, like,
926
00:57:42,584 --> 00:57:45,128
how it, like,
doesn't have to hurt anymore.
927
00:57:45,211 --> 00:57:46,171
This is, like,
928
00:57:47,922 --> 00:57:50,258
the biggest thing
that's ever happened to me.
929
00:57:51,134 --> 00:57:52,469
And then I'm just like…
930
00:57:54,471 --> 00:57:57,307
"I love you,
and I don't want you to go anywhere."
931
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:01,519
"But I would understand…"
932
00:58:01,603 --> 00:58:03,146
But I'm also just like…
933
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,442
It's a lot. It's a lot of things.
934
00:58:08,026 --> 00:58:08,860
Yeah.
935
00:58:10,028 --> 00:58:13,031
-I don't wanna go anywhere.
-I don't want you to go.
936
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:48,942
Maybe I'll just bring these. Uh, hi.
937
00:58:50,777 --> 00:58:51,694
I'm ready.
938
00:58:53,238 --> 00:58:55,907
Physically ready.
Mentally, not so much?
939
00:58:55,990 --> 00:58:58,618
- Mentally? Fuck, yeah.
- Okay, good.
940
00:58:58,701 --> 00:59:01,120
Mentally, I'm like,
"Get me there now." It's…
941
00:59:01,871 --> 00:59:03,373
- It's been too long.
- Titties off.
942
00:59:03,456 --> 00:59:05,917
-Titties off.
-Operation Titties Off.
943
00:59:07,252 --> 00:59:09,087
Oh God.
944
00:59:25,562 --> 00:59:26,771
Oh my God.
945
00:59:33,027 --> 00:59:34,696
All right. I'll see you later.
946
00:59:36,447 --> 00:59:38,157
-Good luck.
-Thanks.
947
00:59:38,241 --> 00:59:39,325
See you in a few.
948
00:59:40,118 --> 00:59:41,911
I'll be there when you're out.
949
00:59:43,746 --> 00:59:45,331
All right.
950
00:59:57,969 --> 00:59:59,679
- I love you!
- Love you!
951
01:00:16,654 --> 01:00:19,198
- Okay, bye-bye, Leo! Take care.
- Thank you so much.
952
01:00:19,282 --> 01:00:21,367
Good luck with you, okay? Bye.
953
01:00:21,451 --> 01:00:24,370
Okay, so, front seat
maybe so you don't get nauseous?
954
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:28,124
- I wanna sit in the front, yeah.
- But don't put the seat belt here.
955
01:00:35,381 --> 01:00:37,508
Should we go skate?
956
01:00:42,388 --> 01:00:44,932
I literally am gonna never wear
a shirt again, probably.
957
01:00:47,352 --> 01:00:49,395
No, we gotta hear
some Gaga right now.

01:02:00,133 --> 01:02:01,634
Oh my God.
970
01:02:02,260 --> 01:02:03,594
How do you feel?
971
01:02:04,095 --> 01:02:05,972
Better than I've ever felt
in my life.
972
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:07,557
- Really?
- Yes.
973
01:02:21,738 --> 01:02:24,240
We're putting in our order
of Glue Boards like now.
974
01:02:24,323 --> 01:02:27,285
-We want to do a red dipped--
-Is that basically the logo?
975
01:02:27,368 --> 01:02:28,745
-Like low-res?
-Mm-hmm.
976
01:02:28,828 --> 01:02:32,248
See if you can do the letters
going all the way around the rim.
977
01:02:32,331 --> 01:02:34,292
-Oh, that's a great idea.
-That'd be cool.
978
01:02:34,375 --> 01:02:37,920
One of the things
that I was always so drawn to as a kid,
979
01:02:38,004 --> 01:02:39,589
to like, certain skate companies.
980
01:02:39,672 --> 01:02:43,134
They're all just, like, people doing
what they want to do.
981
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,638
- Are you ready?
- Ready to go.
982
01:02:49,724 --> 01:02:52,059
- Sorry.
- I wasn't ready for that.
983
01:02:55,021 --> 01:02:55,855
Oh!
984
01:03:02,612 --> 01:03:03,696
I love that.
985
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:05,782
Every time we smoke in the video.
986
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:09,911
Glue Skateboards,
it's a company I'm starting
987
01:03:09,994 --> 01:03:13,623
with my friends Stephen and Cher,
celebrating queer skateboarding.
988
01:03:14,707 --> 01:03:17,794
To me, it just feels like
a fucking sick company.
989
01:03:17,877 --> 01:03:20,713
Me and my friends
made the company we want to ride for.
990
01:03:22,632 --> 01:03:23,508
{\an8}Go.
991
01:03:32,350 --> 01:03:36,020
Maybe I wouldn't be who I am today
if I never saw Baker.
992
01:03:36,604 --> 01:03:39,440
Maybe subconsciously, I'm like,
"Oh, I'm a girl who skates too."
993
01:03:40,441 --> 01:03:42,401
The moment I found out Lee came out,
994
01:03:42,485 --> 01:03:44,570
that's kind of when I realized like,
995
01:03:44,654 --> 01:03:47,740
"Our favorite fucking skateboarder
is, like, trans too."
996
01:03:47,824 --> 01:03:49,575
"Like, that's fucking crazy."
997
01:03:52,370 --> 01:03:53,246
Get under it?
998
01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:55,540
- I should take off the wrapper, right?
- Yeah.
999
01:03:55,623 --> 01:03:56,582
Boom.
1000
01:03:58,376 --> 01:03:59,252
Yeah.
1001
01:04:00,336 --> 01:04:01,963
Sick. Yeah.
1002
01:04:02,630 --> 01:04:03,631
Better backdrop.
1003
01:04:11,389 --> 01:04:12,473
What up, Mom?
1004
01:04:12,557 --> 01:04:14,684
Oh my God, Leo.
1005
01:04:14,767 --> 01:04:15,810
Hi.
1006
01:04:18,187 --> 01:04:20,565
- I love you so much.
-
1007
01:04:20,648 --> 01:04:21,899
I love you too, Mom.
1008
01:04:22,942 --> 01:04:26,112
- I don't even know what to say.
- Me either. It's been so damn long.
1009
01:04:29,115 --> 01:04:30,783
- Oh my gosh.
- They left it here.
1010
01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:32,910
- I know.
- Oh my gosh. It's a Leo shrine.
1011
01:04:34,328 --> 01:04:36,455
When you competed
at the Battle of the Berrics,
1012
01:04:37,164 --> 01:04:39,375
I just knew
that was your last contest ever.
1013
01:04:39,959 --> 01:04:42,336
- Without you even say anything.
- For sure.
1014
01:04:42,420 --> 01:04:45,590
I'm like, "That's the last time
I'll ever see that name in lights."
1015
01:04:45,673 --> 01:04:46,507
Yeah.
1016
01:04:46,591 --> 01:04:49,594
It's the last time I'm gonna ever see
that name on a T-shirt.
1017
01:04:52,972 --> 01:04:56,309
He's so fucking brave
1018
01:04:56,392 --> 01:05:01,480
to do what he's done
to live his true self.
1019
01:05:03,858 --> 01:05:07,445
And I think about kids
that never have that opportunity
1020
01:05:08,070 --> 01:05:10,531
to have a parent that
they could come to and say,
1021
01:05:10,615 --> 01:05:12,867
"You know what, Mom? I'm gay."
1022
01:05:14,869 --> 01:05:16,954
"You know what, Mom? I'm trans."
1023
01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:21,250
And it's okay.
1024
01:05:29,926 --> 01:05:34,263
Coming out over at Nike
was really scary.
1025
01:05:34,347 --> 01:05:37,141
But I was just like, "This is what's up."
1026
01:05:43,981 --> 01:05:45,024
Oh man.
1027
01:05:46,067 --> 01:05:48,986
And they were like,
"All right. Let's fucking do it."
1028
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,499
It's just surreal
to see it up there.
1029
01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:05,503
But I didn't actually know
1030
01:06:05,586 --> 01:06:08,673
that there were gonna be
giant, massive billboards, you know?
1031
01:06:08,756 --> 01:06:10,216
I just started seeing them around.
1032
01:06:12,176 --> 01:06:16,180
So, basically, we're just capturing
a few facial poses.
1033
01:06:16,263 --> 01:06:19,183
The neutral and then eyes closed.
1034
01:06:19,266 --> 01:06:22,812
- Joy, disgust, and so on.
- Okay.
1035
01:06:22,895 --> 01:06:24,313
So it's like that.
1036
01:06:24,397 --> 01:06:27,358
Having Leo in our game
inspired people trying to figure out
1037
01:06:27,441 --> 01:06:28,442
who they are.
1038
01:06:28,526 --> 01:06:31,237
It gave them a sense of validation.
1039
01:06:33,823 --> 01:06:35,783
It's like fucking mind-blowing.
1040
01:06:35,866 --> 01:06:38,744
I'm like, "I played this game.
I know I can be a pro skater."
1041
01:06:38,828 --> 01:06:41,414
"I wanna be a pro skater
when I, like, grow up."
1042
01:06:42,164 --> 01:06:44,458
Then I became a pro skater,
and now I'm in the game.
1043
01:06:46,127 --> 01:06:49,213
I learned a lot
through those years of struggle.
1044
01:06:50,131 --> 01:06:53,718
You know, like
the hard work ultimately paid off.
1045
01:06:53,801 --> 01:06:56,971
People were just like,
"Yeah, you're still skating and ripping."
1046
01:06:57,847 --> 01:07:01,892
And so, people started to be like,
"Oh, like, yeah, we wanna invest in that."
1047
01:07:09,191 --> 01:07:12,528
{\an8}And now there's just like a clearing
for so many new possibilities
1048
01:07:12,611 --> 01:07:16,115
that just I did not have
in that life I was living.
1049
01:07:18,451 --> 01:07:19,618
Ooh!
1050
01:07:23,164 --> 01:07:24,373
Back in first place.
1051
01:07:25,624 --> 01:07:28,252
And sitting there
watching the Olympics
1052
01:07:28,836 --> 01:07:31,672
and feeling absolutely fucking elated
that I'm not there.
1053
01:07:31,756 --> 01:07:34,216
It's like, I know what's best for me,
1054
01:07:34,300 --> 01:07:36,260
and I think I knew it all along.
1055
01:07:37,011 --> 01:07:39,180
Even when I was,
like, really, really young.
1056
01:07:45,895 --> 01:07:50,483
{\an8}Leo's done a really good job
of being visible for a lot of people.
1057
01:07:51,692 --> 01:07:53,903
That's what real representation is,
1058
01:07:53,986 --> 01:07:57,364
{\an8}Is people feeling like
they have permission to be themselves.
1059
01:07:58,074 --> 01:08:00,117
I'm getting a pro shoe from Nike.
1060
01:08:00,201 --> 01:08:02,828
- A pro shoe? Like--
- Like my own model.
1061
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:06,207
You know…
1062
01:08:06,290 --> 01:08:08,042
- Oh!
- Aw!
1063
01:08:09,001 --> 01:08:11,420
- I'm so proud of you.
-
1064
01:08:11,504 --> 01:08:13,631
Oh my God. Leo.
1065
01:08:16,675 --> 01:08:17,676
Hello?
1066
01:08:21,931 --> 01:08:22,890
Hi.
1067
01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:26,310
- Hi.
- Oh, hello, puppy.
1068
01:08:27,061 --> 01:08:30,064
- We need stickers.
- Let's get stickers.
1069
01:08:31,398 --> 01:08:33,901
I feel like we should do
only Glue stickers, whatever--
1070
01:08:33,984 --> 01:08:34,944
Yeah, for sure.
1071
01:08:35,027 --> 01:08:40,366
The way that I felt for a long time
about my pre-sponsored self…
1072
01:08:41,075 --> 01:08:42,076
Gonna look sick.
1073
01:08:42,159 --> 01:08:44,787
…it's like I'm just now
getting back in touch with that person.
1074
01:08:45,538 --> 01:08:47,957
There's no more, uh…
1075
01:08:51,585 --> 01:08:52,920
like, facade.
1076
01:08:54,296 --> 01:08:57,007
Skating, at this point,
is a multibillion-dollar industry,
1077
01:08:57,091 --> 01:09:00,344
and you can count on two hands
the amount of, like, professionals
1078
01:09:00,427 --> 01:09:04,598
who are, like, gay, queer, trans,
or even, like, women also, you know?
1079
01:09:04,682 --> 01:09:06,559
- It's crazy.
- You can, like, name them all.
1080
01:09:06,642 --> 01:09:08,185
Epic Glue party.
1081
01:09:08,269 --> 01:09:09,937
It's about to start.
1082
01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:12,273
- Oh my God.
-
1083
01:09:21,115 --> 01:09:22,116
All right, kickflip.
1084
01:09:22,199 --> 01:09:25,119
All right. Whoever gets
the first kickflip gets a board,
1085
01:09:25,202 --> 01:09:26,912
but you have to do it in 30 seconds.
1086
01:09:26,996 --> 01:09:28,205
Oh!
1087
01:09:30,374 --> 01:09:33,419
- Oh, there it goes!
-
1088
01:09:37,256 --> 01:09:39,216
{\an8}All right, we got a winner.
1089
01:09:46,557 --> 01:09:48,225
I really look up to Leo, honestly.
1090
01:09:48,309 --> 01:09:52,188
Ju, like, the freedom
of doing whatever you want
1091
01:09:52,271 --> 01:09:55,774
and being whoever you want.
Not being afraid to show your true self.
1092
01:09:56,609 --> 01:09:59,904
Dude, they're doing everything.
Doing everything they should be doing.
1093
01:10:03,866 --> 01:10:06,619
I think Lee's legacy
will be bringing
1094
01:10:06,702 --> 01:10:08,996
some much-needed authenticity to skating.
1095
01:10:09,079 --> 01:10:12,374
Okay, that's great.
Right here. Whoa, turn around.
1096
01:10:12,458 --> 01:10:17,338
Lee becoming so popular and famous
and everything just shattered everything.
1097
01:10:20,049 --> 01:10:21,675
I know what it's like
1098
01:10:22,801 --> 01:10:26,555
to, like, not have anyone to look up to.
1099
01:10:28,557 --> 01:10:30,726
But there's trans people everywhere,
1100
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,647
which is something I wish
that I knew as a kid.
1101
01:10:42,613 --> 01:10:44,907
Everything leading up to right now
1102
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:47,576
is one version of being trans,
1103
01:10:48,369 --> 01:10:50,579
but there are so many versions of it.
1104
01:10:53,207 --> 01:10:54,750
I don't have the answers.
1105
01:10:56,961 --> 01:11:00,589
I only have, like, my answers
that I've gotten so far.
1106
01:11:03,842 --> 01:11:07,179
I just think it's really important
to have compassion for yourself.
1107
01:11:09,765 --> 01:11:13,519
And that, like,
every iteration of yourself counts.
1108
01:11:16,355 --> 01:11:18,315
I'm just, like, one fucking person…
1109
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,569
and I just happen to be trans.
1110
01:11:26,365 --> 01:11:29,660
And I think that, l
just existing should be enough.
1111
01:11:35,749 --> 01:11:38,877
At the end of the day,
I'm just a fucking skater, so, like,
1112
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:41,088
I just gonna skate.
1113
01:11:42,589 --> 01:11:43,757
And, like, enjoy it.
1114
01:11:44,717 --> 01:11:49,888
Because it's like, life is so brief,
so I don't wanna waste any more time.
