Dear Pocket, skateboarding is in good hands with you all. I love these segments. Thanks for featuring skaters from all walks. This is why I love skateboarding.
I'm so glad finally that I feel apart of skateboarding again. When I came out, my social life in skating took a huge hit. it changed the way I skated. After 8 year, I finally feel the passion to ride with a community of others that understand what it was like.
I never thought I'd get to see skateboarding mature and become so understanding in my lifetime. Sure, there's still a long way to go (just like with the rest of people) but it does bring a smile to my 48-year old face that such positive change has been possible.
@@tyrellwashington747 yes I didn't know at that start as she/he looks great but you would know the minute arin skateed it's a guy. Girls can't pop or flip like a guy..
@@theskateboardfan they can't compete as women, why do you think gender reveal parties are only for male or female babies? Because that is all the gender at birth
i'm obsessed with the shots of arin sitting by the grass, petals falling, sun rays, all while talking about v personal things. money! art! also cool to see cata here, hers was the first followed ep i watched! i needed this thank you pocket
Skateboarding is life changing and has nothing to do with "woke" politics. Pretending to be a woman when you are a man is not about skateboarding. I don't know what it is...
I support female skateboarders I don't support men pretending to be women skateboarders. I unfollowed. How gross and weak for a man to try to pass as a woman skateboarder.
@@theskateboardfan I love this make believe new fairy tale skateboarding was about acceptance from being outside the normal. so many of the pros I looked up to were lil street rats stealing and in no way were accepting outsiders lol now skateboarding is selling out in anyway possible only thing to do is start your own brand our support the skaters that are really putting it down and not slowing down
@@theskateboardfan While I think this comment is gross, the people over praising this person simply for being trans is just as gross. This is how we treat children. We go, "Awwww what a big boy/girl you are. You're doing great for being so unique. Here's gold medal for being you!!!" If this person wants to dress up as a whatever they feel they are, so be it. I'm all for it. But people are genuinely praising this person ONLY for being trans, which is fine if you only want to use their story as motivation for being true to whatever it is you feel like. But that's not the case. If this was just some guy, their tricks would get noticed, but hardly anybody would be going "OMG wow you're the best skater ever!!!!" And it's extremely disingenuous to claim this person is an amazing female skateboarder or even worse, "the best female skater" as many are saying. We are now entering a weird phase where people are getting spots on skate teams simply for coming out or being trans. I get that it must feel good being praised and getting recognition and all that, but I would honestly feel like crap if people simply praised me for being gay/trans/woman/man. People are letting that part be their whole identity and it's gross.
Fuck yeah, I love Arin. Been following her for a while. The story of her coming out at the end of this was so damn powerful. Need more people like her in skateboarding! Thank you Pocket for being such a awesome platform!
@@outdoorsandy4685 sex and gender are two different things. Biologically she’s a male. No one is disagreeing. Trying to be edgy and calling her a man is lame. Not sure why it’s such a hard concept
@@jackfellowes reality. Also the way he pops his tricks is only possible with a mans body. Preference of sexual identity does not change facts. Men and women are different. That being said. I love women's skateboarding. They are amazing. Men pretending to be females is gross.
@@theskateboardfan I just meant “coming up” as in her star is rising with Jerry Hsu’s clothing brand-turned board brand. She’s on the come up and a good fit for his (very small) team of riders. I’m not stupid. I wouldn’t watch this video and comment on it if I wasn’t aware of Sci-Fi Fantasy or know that it was Jerry Hsu’s company.
@@theskateboardfan you really gotta be that douchebag just purposely misgendering HER in every comment huh? Try doing this to someone at a skatepark and you are for sure getting punched in the face by somebody
@@jackminehard like these are cool but I’m trying to see how insane skaters go through their day. Plus everyone loves Louie. Never seen anyone hate on him.
I love her so much. She seems like such an incredible person. I’ve been following her on Instagram since her first clips starting making the rounds. I’m so happy for her. Jerry needs to give her a pro model so we can all buy it and support her 💚💚💚
@@theskateboardfan Remember to respect other people's boundaries my man... However Arin chooses to identify is down to herself and herself only. Not anybody else :)
@@jackfellowes Agreed I respect personal preferences but skateboarding has nothing to do with this. Raysa is killing it period not because she is a female or who she identifies as. This man is not a woman and does not represent skateboarding. This is dumb ass political shit about accepting weak men trying to compete with women. That is lame!
i honestly never knew arin was trans and ive followed her stuff for a hell of a long time, good for her bro, ive got even more respect now than i already did
@@richud8739 there is a drastic difference between a man or a woman riding a skateboard. Drastic. You can obviously see she has more strenght in her legs becasue she was a man first. I'm sorrry but you people are lying to yourself if you can't see the mayor difference. Their skating is kinda of soft. It has no pop,usually the style is bad,sketchy etc. Very,very few clips where things are done the right way. And no,this does not mean I hate women skating.
Gotta love how all skaters act like it's such a counterculture and there's all this support and you can be who you want, but as soon as the topic is on a woman or a trans-person, especially trans-woman, at least half of the comments turn to complete dogshit. Whatever, huge fan of Arin and the Sci-Fi crew. Hope it keeps on cooking.
Espero que jamás compitas contra mujeres por que la verdad no seria justo que aprovechando tu naturaleza masculina les saques ventaja a las mujeres. Lo mas acequible seria que les abran una categoria a las personas como Arin debido a que su naturaleza no refleja igualdad a la hora de competir.

I dont doubt you love it :|
thank you pocket mag. all the segments are rad in their own way.

such a humble person, much love to you arin! congrats on your pro model AND future success
♥️♥️♥️
Arin has such a positive aura about her. So pumped on her journey in skating and look forward to seeing more clips from her!
But it's a dude
um... Him dressed as her.
@@jackminehard she's a woman
@Exculpatory Shōgun it's just a fact and you're wrong
@Exculpatory Shōgun disagree with reality, that's fine with me
She's so rad! Always love Arin's energy she brings, and the insane bag of tricks.
@@tyrellwashington747 It is a man pretending to be a woman. Gross.

Thank you Arin for sharing so much with the world! I love where skateboarding Is because of people like yourself.

Been a fan of her since she came out on insta. Def one of my favorite skater
Once I found out it was a transition skater I was like whaaaat makes sense in a way LOL !!!!!!!!

Keep ripping, Queens! Her flatground game is insane!

Thank you! We feel like there is a lot to take from her words no matter what obstacles you have to overcome in life❤️
Biology > wokeism
What a ripper. So much style.
Amazing content! Hope most skaters receive this with a open mind.
Yea shun! She’s gnar… I enjoyed this segment a lot! And I’m jealous that she chills with Jerry
damn her flip trick game is on point
Great interview, and Arin seems like such a cool person. What a great role model.
Trans are good role models? Hmmm I don’t see how those 2 things go together.
That's because, like most Americans, you're closed minded. @@GolfisLife44
my favorite skater 💕
So glad this came out🔥🔥🔥❤️
So happy to see skateboarding opening up and being the free and accepting community it always had the potential to be🔥
It ain't free and it ain't open fuck are you talking about I spend 60+ on just a deck I can have whatever opinion i want about sex xhanged individuals
@Daniel Hollingsworth np
Yeah so fun Men pretending to be women will now want to compete against Women because they are not good enough to compete with men. Lame!
Much love Arin. Thanks pocket

For some reason, i really *really* love the way she does that varial heel around the 2:28 mark. Style for dayzzzz
So sick! She’s got such a crazy bag of tricks and definitely deserves her shine!

All the girls in their crew skate way smoother than the dudes
Maybe that’s cause the girls used to be dudes and the dudes used to be girls 😆

i honestly never knew arin was trans and ive followed her stuff for a hell of a long time, good for her bro, ive got even more respect now than i already did
no disrespect, but you can imediately tell when someone starts doing tricks. The way it flows is noticabely different on men and women.
