The Fargo Skateboarding Country Video was filmed primarily in DeKalb Illinois. Putting a small town like DeKalb on the map for skating was no small task, but worth doing for anyone anywhere who feels like their skate scene could grow.

Figuring out how to skate the spot or making it skatable, usually the latter was the name of the game. Rub Bricks always included in each mission, and keeping the eyes peeled like a banana. You will be the first one to skate the spot if you make it.

Premiered in March 2022 and Released on DVD and VHS.

A few minor additions / changes where made for youtube.

OUR STORY

Fargo Skateboarding is everything skateboarding: a skate shop run by skateboard enthusiasts, and a nearly 10,000 square ft. heated indoor skatepark.

It was originally opened in 2007 as Smalltown Skate Shop by NIU graduate Ariel Ries. The company recognized a need for a training facility and community space for skateboarders year-round in Dekalb. In 2015 Smalltown moved 4 blocks east and changed it's name to Fargo.

If you’re wondering why we’re called “Fargo” it’s because of the building that we’re in. Between 1927-1929, The Fargo Theater (pictured below) was built and operated until it's closing in the 1950’s. Shortly after, the theater was converted into a roller rink. After the roller rink closed the theater was abandoned, however the lobby was turned into a clothing store in the late 1970’s. It later became the home of Dimensions Dance Academy for about 30 years. In 2015, construction began on the indoor skatepark and it was opened to the public in 2016. We are so excited to have been able to restore the theater and the lobby to be at it’s full beauty as a shop, skatepark, and venue (more coming soon).

Fargo Skateboarding offers skateboard lessons, classes, open skate sessions, along with special events including contests, live music, clinics, and art shows. We welcome and encourage people from all abilities and ages to progress their skateboarding skills in a safe and fun environment.
