Spotlight: Paris Trucks & Divine Wheels

We would like to extend a huge thanks to Paris Trucks and Divine Wheels for the hookup! They so generously swagged out the Boone community with a ton of trucks and wheels. Every set has gone to a Boone skater in need. This contribution has allowed us to set up 10 boards that we can provide to skaters in need.

Spotlight: James Mallette

Resident filmer, James Mallette, is kind of new to our scene. In his brief stint in Boone, NC he has proven himself to be a ripper. Although he does dabble freeride, he specializes in what is quickly becoming a lost art; luge. James first started luging on his own homemade sled, literally just urethane, plywood, and sheer guts.

When he’s not in front of the lens, he’s behind it. James has contributed heavily in the past six months, producing a handful of videos featured here on this site. Hop on board with James and take a first person run at 60mph.

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.
