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.

Since 2013, Wade Montgomery has teamed up with other local business to host the Afford a Board Classic, a charity golf tournament organized to give skateboards to kids on Christmas. The Afford a Board Classic raised $1,700 to be used to buy 13 skateboards from Recess Skate and Snow, a ride shop in Boone. Beyond Boone, Local has paired up with the likes of Comet Skateboard, Asheville Ganj Patrol, and App Terrain Park at App Ski Mountian for a variety of business initiatives and community building events.
