Up and coming queer skateboarder J’vonte Johnson has officially joined There Skateboards but that's not all.
The Nintendo OG 666 skater also received a board with they/them's name on the deck for the LGBTQIA+ focused company founded by Jeff Cheung.

Despite the name on the board, they/them said that the brand didn't promote they/them and the back story was he used to ride for Antihero when he was little.
Either way he is still on the team and will be promoted to the pro ranks soon.
Johnson has been putting together some serious clips on Instagram, including a gnarly impossible and a backside feeble on a huge handrail.
They/them is also gnarly in the bowl, showing that the intense skating is not just for street spots.
With a mix of technical tricks, big rails and strong transition skating, it makes sense to see Johnson linking up with There Skateboards as the company continues building its team and growing its LGBTQIA+ community.
