Iggy’s Curves is hands down the headiest road this side of the Mississippi. Chundery pavement and steep inclines combine to provide a skating experience nearly unparalleled in the Appalachian Mountains. Madison Crum, Bailey Winecoff, Brad Perala and Eric Fahrenthold brave the winding curves in this Phill Bladwin ft. Tom Richmond edit.
“You have power my friend, but you are mortal. You know you cannot escape death, but at Iggy’s, immortality can be obtained.”

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.
On April 18-19, 2015, the first ever sanctioned downhill skateboarding race in North Carolina took place at the Mt. Jefferson State Park. It was a rowdy weekend filled with great skating, big crashes, and mixed weather conditions. Enjoy watching riders battle the elements in this recap. A huge thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers, and riders; it would not have been possible without everyone’s help. See you next year!
