When he founded ETHK Skateboards, Tony Strat initially wanted to empower female skaters — but he soon expanded his brand's message of include anyone with wheels under their feet. He envisions the skatepark as a place where anyone — women, queer and transgender people — can feel safe. On Sunday, March 20, a group of adrenaline-junkies gathered at the Denver Skatepark to pose for photographs pushing Strat's brand and to chase that gratifying rush on the ramps.
