In the Beginning

Skater Kyle Dutcher, born and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia, has a story to tell that describes his perseverance and tenacity that ultimately pushed him into destiny. The Atlanta native, and celebrity skater, has made a name for himself at the center of Atlanta’s skate culture. Dutcher, in the mid-2000s, at the age of 26, started his unforeseen and successful journey in the art of skateboarding. Inspired by his three-year-old daughter, and her desire to go skating how it all began. Stemming from their father and daughter time together, Dutcher took hold of skating. He then mixed his love of ATL’s skate style with JB’s (James Brown, The Godfather of Soul) skate style, originating from Chicago. Dutcher decided to hone in on his precision skills, creating a style of his own; and building a platform that would later catapult him to the level of greatness he has achieved.

“Skating to me is rewarding. It’s a cool way to meet and greet new people.”

Taking advantage of the epicenter, Dutcher used the Atlanta monument, “Cascade,” as his training ground. The skating rink has been a staple in the community for years. Constructed in the late ’90s, formerly known as “Cascade Family Skating,” “Cascade,” has hosted celebrity greats such as Magic Johnson, Beyonce, P. Diddy, and many more. Moreso, it was the skate down for the movie “ATL”; produced by Chris Robinson in 2006.
