Which passage from the Article best supports the idea that Douglas Miles has been influential in the development of a skater culture on the San Carlos Apache Reservation?
His company opened its own shop, the Apache Agency Skate Shop. It's a social hub for skaters on the reservation. The shop organizes skate competitions and concerts, and it sponsors a team of talented skaters. With the guts and grit of a band of Apache warriors on a mission of peace, the young men and women on the team travel around giving skating demonstrations.
The company first got rolling when Miles painted the deck of a skateboard for his son. The strong, striking design featured elements of pop culture combined with traditional tribal symbols, an Apache warrior with a sword and shield. Doug, Jr. hopped on his new board and rode it around the rez.
San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona is another place where kids know a nollie from an ollie or a wallie. This rez is home to a thriving skatepark. It's also where you can find an acclaimed San Carlos Apache-Akimel O'odham artist named Douglas Miles, who founded Apache Skateboards.
His business ramped up from there. Many of Miles' boards are one-of-a-kind works of fine art on four wheels. Some have even been snapped up by museums and private collectors for hundreds of dollars.
