Summary

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with professional skateboarder turned videographer Micah Hollinger. Micah grew up skateboarding with a tight-knit crew in Anchorage, Alaska. At the same time, he was learning his way around a camera—filming everything he could. From skateboarding to parties to neighborhood fights, nothing was off limits. Micah’s 40 now, he’s a videographer, and as far as skateboarding goes, he says that “if you wanna keep skating as you get older, you have to adapt.” If you were skating or snowboarding in Alaska in the 90s and early 2000s, then you’re probably familiar with Micah. He’s the skater that everyone in Alaska looked up to, he’s the guy who hit rails on his skateboard that snowboarders thought were too big, he’s one of the guys who showed us that the Alaska snow and skate scene was relevant, and could hold its own. Lately, Micah’s been working with Jesse Burtner—the creator of Think Thank films—on a documentary about the old Boarderline Alaska Snow and Skate days. From the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Boarderline was a major figure in the Alaska snow and skate scene. Through interviews and archival footage, Micah and Jesse are working to capture that era.
