From street skating as a 12-year-old to founding his own skateboard company and organizing competitions across Colorado, Marshall Brame embodies the entrepreneurial spirit thriving within today's skateboarding culture.
"No matter what you do out here, it just seems like one big family," Brame says of Colorado's vibrant skateboarding scene, which he describes as "pretty hectic" with skaters constantly pushing each other to new heights. This communal progression forms the backdrop for Brame's dual ventures: Terminal Skateboards, the company he founded in 2021, and the Colorado Ampro Skate Jam competition series he currently organizes.
Terminal Skateboards started with a simple idea during a skating session and has grown into a legitimate brand with products in several local shops including Blue Car and Careful, with ambitions to expand distribution both within Colorado and beyond. Meanwhile, the Ampro Skate Jam series showcases Brame's promotional skills and determination despite the inevitable challenges of weather disruptions and logistical hurdles.
The competition circuit continues on June 28th in Colorado Springs at Memorial Skate Park, followed by events in Englewood and Boulder. With entry fees of just $20 and support from sponsors like Denver Spot, Colorado Skate Scene, Dream Fiend, and numerous skateboard shops, these competitions create accessible opportunities for skaters of all skill levels. Brame even plans to incorporate technology like drones and live scoring displays to enhance the competitive experience.
