Alchemy Skateboarding was created because we
believe in skateboarding. We know how it can positively
contribute to people's lives and we want to share that joy with the
community at large. During our first Go Skate Tacoma event in 2011
we circulated a survey and found out that over half of the skaters
in attendance had dropped out of high school. This was the catalyst
that started Alchemy. We know that skaters are incredibly
intelligent, creative, and athletic, and yet so many of them were
disengaged with their schools and communities. The more that we
researched the more we began to understand how out-dated
and inaccurate stigmas associated with skate culture had
marginalized a huge group of people in our
community and we set out to change that.
We believe in and value respect, integrity,
collaboration, diversity, and fun.
