Our reporter Gracie Gordon goes to two skate parks in northern Nevada to get an update on the skateboarding scene which perseveres despite COVID-19 and occasional winter storms. She interviews Chase McMullen, a veteran skateboarder who says he used to be a troublemaker, but now he’s working on an Instagram page full of videos and photos to support, inspire and motivate younger skateboarders. Gracie also goes to the North Valleys Regional Park to meet with Eddie Washington, the founder of the Reno Skate Alliance.
