Yeah those Dunks are one of the better SBs for sure.

Glad he's at a place in life where he feels comfortable coming out publicly. I can't imagine having to hide that part of who you are for so many years.

I feel so good that I'm at a point where when a star comes out as gay, I'm like "meh"

I don't follow skating as much anymore as I did in HS, just video parts mainly nowadays

but never knew 

 I even had one of his pro model decks at one time

I appreciate his style of skating. He'll stomp a tre flip on a stair set. Most guys wait for the board to come to their feet. Confident skater.

This.  Anyone who's heavy into skating has known he was gay for close to a decade now.  Glad he's finally open about it though.

Always liked the way he skates.  He has a really powerful style. Still love this part:



Bluntslide down the roller-coaster hubba blew my 16 year old mind.

Good for Brian! I have been watching him skate since Toy Machine and never knew he was gay. Either way, good for him!

the **** is wrong with you?

Yeah, this has been a pretty common rumor for a long time, glad to see him come out officially though. I was hoping he'd announce he was riding for antihero too.
