Becon Alley Skateboards.
How can a woven skateboard create local businesses in Alabama that build resilient, thriving communities?
During the 2014 winter break twelve University of Kansas Students spent two weeks in Greensboro, AL weaving, prototyping, and testing skateboards. During that time the Becon Alley Skateboard brand was born thanks to all the work by Alex Anderson and Claire Pedersen (now thriving professionals in Design)! The work continued throughout the spring where the final two designs were refined and a successful Kickstarter campaign was launched.
