JP Pardy is the owner of Recess Skate and Snow in Boone, NC. He is quite possibly the most influential advocate for skateboarding that the town of Boone has ever seen. His notable efforts include but are not limited to legalizing skateboarding for transportation on Appalachian State university, providing funding for the late and great Boone DIY, navigating a ton of bullshit bureaucracy to receive approval for a skatepark in Boone, and singlehandedly coordinating all fundraising efforts that made said skatepark a reality. If you’d like to support the future expansion of the skatepark head to @boonegreenwayskatepark on Instagram and use the link in the bio to donate. Thanks for your service to skateboarding, JP!
