This week's Trans Sporter Room with Karleigh Webb features two mavericks who set their own mark. Skateboarder Leo Baker: Art Above All. Heading into 2020, Leo Baker was one of the top skateboarders in the world. A 6-time X Games medalist, Baker was selected to the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team for Tokyo. That was before the COVID crisis hit and postponed the games. But a few weeks before, Baker made a different decision. For years, they had pushed up the ranks of the sport from the sidewalks and sky parks to the biggest stages while also dealing with a lot of dysphoria and questioning. In February 2020, Baker decided the being themselves was greater than gold. They came out as transmasculine and non-binary, left Team USA and began pursuing their life. That story is now the subject of a documentary called Stay On Board: The Leo Baker Story. Baker beams up to talk about his path, the decision, and why skateboarding in the wild is greater than skating in grandest stage in sport. Cyclist Molly Cameron: Riot Grrls, Grav
