Kinevil told our curator they wanted “to celebrate [Strauberry] as a talented skateboarder.” Additionally, “transgender skaters haven’t been a visible component in our community until recently,” Kinevil explained, and he wanted to celebrate that shift through the design of this board. The art on the board was drawn and designed by Olivia Gibb. Strauberry broke this skateboard while doing a backside heelflip down six big steps. “I was filming my best friend Mae after and she broke her ankle on the same stairs," Strauberry told our curator. "The rest of the day was spent in the ER, her with her broken foot and me holding what was left of the first Cher board.” Today the skateboard is part of the national collection.

There were violent homophobic incidents in the early 1980s and 1990s. Recently, skate has made great strides in its acceptance of LGBTQ+ skaters.
