Poe Pinson has officially gone pro with There Skateboards, a team that has been making space for LGBTQIA+ riders in a big way.
For anyone who has been following her clips online, this feels like the moment everyone knew was coming.
She has been putting in time on the streets, stacking clips for Instagram, and putting herself out there in a way that connects with both skaters and fans who want to see more representation in skateboarding.
Her hard work has paid off with her own signature board, marking her entry into the pro ranks.
This fits perfectly with how There Skateboards have been building their team. The brand has been steadily adding skaters who not only put down serious tricks but also stand for something bigger than themselves.
Pinson represents that balance of raw dedication, and it makes sense that she would be the latest addition to their pro roster.
The timing of the announcement is also interesting.
There is preparing to release their full-length video “Ripped in Half” on October 2, 2025. The film is already being talked about as a major moment for the brand, but they clearly didn’t want to wait to share the news about Pinson.
Dropping this promotion just before the premiere gives everyone something extra to look forward to when the video hits.
Skaters can expect to see Pinson’s footage alongside another heavy hitter like Samiya Smith, and it’s shaping up to be the kind of part that really introduces her to a wider skateboarding audience.
For now though, the celebration is about her new pro status and what it means for both her career and for a growing number of skaters who are seeing doors open in places that once felt closed.
So while we’ll all be waiting to watch the new video drop, this moment is already worth celebrating. Pinson is officially pro, and it's a well-deserved step forward for both her and growing queer skateboarding community.
