North Carolina Downhill Skateboarding Initiatives [New Film]
Established in 2014, NCDH is a collective of professional photographers, videographers, event organizers, sponsored skateboarders, and community members with an initiative to showcase the talent and spirit of downhill skateboarding in Western North Carolina & the broader East Coast.
We’re fortunate to have had Ken bring us into the Adopt-A-Highway program over the years. Moving forward, he’s entrusted us to carry it on. For us, these are small acts that are part of something larger.
Folks have been skating these mountains for decades, and our collective efforts have not only legitimized the practice in this region but have also aided in developing the highest caliber of safety, communication, and documentation processes that the practice needs for longevity. We utilize many protocols including professional walkie talkie systems, spotters, and legal road closures.
With that being said, we are actively adopting highway roads in attempt to be environmental stewards of the region we call home. We also are revamping our skate clinic program and will be inviting Asheville & abroad to come out and engage with us, for free.
