Even if there’s not much response I thought it would good for me to put this out there.
I’m gay (obviously but I wanted to write it anyway) and wanting to come out, but one of my main concerns is the reaction from the people at the skatepark. I’ve been skateboarding for about 7-8 years now and its pretty much my life, although for the past 9 months I’ve been injured but am hoping to start again as soon as I’ve healed. in this time off I’ve had time to think, and have sort of come to terms with who i am. So this is not only my first post but the first time i've 'spoke' to anyone about it. i'm aware there's probably hundreds of 'coming out help' posts everyday and everyone’s probably fed up with it by now, but any advice with any link to this in any way would be much appreciated.

welcome dave!

What up, man? I missed this when you posted it the first time, but I think I'm the one regular queer skater who hangs out here. Below are two pics of me doing the skate thing. What kind of injury you end up with?

Haven't checked this in ages, cheers for the replies......
Yeah, I've recovered (sort of) fully from my injury now, i tore my left ACL in half and had to have reconstructive knee surgery

Those photos are sick, is the second one off the ramp of from flat?

Thanks. It's a backside 180 ollie off the ramp seen in the lower left hand corner of the pick.

Cool, how long have you been skateboarding for?

Slightly confused, i presume you've changed your name since the last post? (twas quite a while ago)
