Finding the Skateboard Scene in Alaska's Largest City
Season 8 Episode 13 | 3m 50s
A close community of skateboarders is growing in Anchorage, Alaska.
With long winters and temperatures often dipping below freezing, most people might not consider Anchorage to be a location with a growing skateboarding community. But Garrett Swenson, a lifelong Alaskan and confident skateboarder, says the scene has been in Alaska for years and is even expanding. The extreme seasons and lack of venues have created a tight-knit skateboarding community.
