Spotlight: Toucan
Deep in North Carolina there lies a magical land dense with the gnarliest, steepest and roughest roads. Nestled down in a valley, the roads descend down the aggressive terrain in a twisted mass of asphalt and guard rails.

Spotlight: King Kong
King Kong is a beast of a road. Two miles of 13% grade allows skilled riders to reach speeds in excess of 50mph just before throwing them into full 180ยบ switchback hairpins. This road finds itself among the highest echelon of East Coast roads, side by side with Paradise and Borderlands. Only the most skilled riders can handle a road like this.

Spotlight: LOCAL Apparel
Local Bomb it was established in 2009 by Wade Montgomery and for the past six years they have been the keystone in the Local scene. LOCAL has compiled a small group of talented skaters and snowboarders in Boone, NC. Besides providing riders with apparel and gear, Local supports events and road-trips like the Shine Run, a Spring road trip to North Carolina’s gnarliest hills. Wade’s contributions have lead the charge in what has historically been a very anti-skateboarding community, providing us with the foundation for the skate scene so many enjoy today.
