PUZL releases limited edition T-shirt for hip-hop duo RADIx

Our homes over at PUZL™ are releasing a limited edition T-shirt to help promote the latest studio album from Massachusetts based hip-hop duo RADIx. 

Check out the details posted from RADIx's site:

RADIx combine with PUZL™ for unique program to release third studio album
Statik Selektah produced album to be offered as digital download to fans who purchase collectible

Boston, MA – June 28, 2011 – In anticipation of its latest album, Boston hip-hop duo RADIx is announcing its ‘Say Yes!’ album and t-shirt promotion in conjunction with its sponsor PUZL™.

RADIx, composed of Quite Nyce and SEEK have been together since a chance grouping during college. Since then the group has produced an album and toured Europe extensively with prominent hip-hop performers such as Royce da 5’9”. The group’s sophomore album ‘Say Yes!’ is entirely produced by mega-producer Statik Selektah

To promote the release of the hotly anticipated album, RADIx and its sponsor PUZL™ will be releasing a limited edition ‘Say Yes!’ t-shirt on their Karmaloop Kazbah store. As part of the promotion for the album, fans who buy the limited edition t-shirt on PUZL’s Karmaloop Kazbah Store will receive a code for a free digital download of the album. The promotion will begin on July 1st and codes will be available while supplies last.

RADIx and PUZL™ will be featured prominently on the Karmaloop Kazbah site leading up to the beginning of the promotion with blog posts, videos and banner advertisements. Spots on ‘The Daily Loop’, and the re-release of its music video ‘Say Yes!’ produced by Pentantic productions and PUZL™, will be featured on the site as well.

“This is the album that we’ve been dreaming of making when we started making music together” Quite Nyce said. “Seek and I have known Statik Selektah for some time and when he agreed to produce this album for us it was definitely a dream come true. We’re very excited to bring this album to our fans around the world with the support of PUZL™ and provide our fans with this shirt that carries the motto we’ve had from the beginning, ‘Say Yes!’”

Alex Slater creator and owner of PUZL™ said: “You can hear RADIx’s energy through their music and see our creativity through our designs. It’s been great working with Quite and SEEK and working off each others imagination and originality. This promotion is the perfect way to give back to both our fans and theirs.”

‘Say Yes!’ will be released in the summer and is produced by Statik Selektah. It will be released both digitally and physically.

About RADIx

Since its inception, RADIx has released over 12 projects on its self-funded record label Abstrak Recordings, toured throughout Europe three times and toured the USA countless times. Quite Nyce and Seek officially formed RADIx in 2003 and have continued to support themselves independently in order to reach their fan base directly. They received critical acclaim with their debut album, The Staple(2006), which featured Mr.EON, Akrobatik, Insight, DJ JS-1, and Mista Sinista. RADIx has been featured on MTV2, URB Magazine, Performer Magazine, Elemental, and all major Massachusetts newspaper publications.

SNEAK-PEEK- RENEGADE TAKES YOU TO GRANITE SKATEPARK

This week a few of the Renegade guys decided to take a trip down to Nashua to check out their latest and greatest addition, the Granite Skate Skateboard Park. Although still under construction, we were able to snag a sneak-peek session in this 24,000 square foot, shred-tastic, indoor skateboarding oasis. And we got the pictures to prove it!

The park came about when Curt Hulst was approached by friend Laura Smith, a mother of three boys, who was tired of always having to make the back and forth commute to Rye Airfield. She thought it would be a good idea to make something more local, an indoor park right here in Nashua, and Curt was just the guy to make it happen. With just a little start up money, and a whole lot of ambition, the idea slowly began to take shape, and is slated to open later this month.

This park caters well to all different styles of skateboarding, and blends them all together into one Berrics-esque super park. With well-constructed features, icy concrete ledges, and flowing effortless transition, this park has it all! Located at 22 Charon Ave. in Nashua, Granite Skate is a measly 20-minute drive from Manchester and just north of the Mass boarder.

Be sure to check them out real soon, tell em’ Renegade sent ya!

CHECK OUT ALL OF THE PHOTOS!!!!

SNEEK PEEK- CANDIA PARK GETS NEW STREET VIBE

Thanks to the commitment and fundraising efforts of the Leavitt family, enough cash has been raised to add a much needed centerpiece to the park. And Renegade’s giving you your first peek at it!

This spring, American Ramp Company will be installing a 3 foot high, concrete 3-flat-3, complete with a 2’ high, 7 ½ ’ long, and 2” round handrail. This set is 10 feet wide with 8 feet of flat on the run-up- plenty of room to set up and skate the set or rail. Three steps down, 3 feet of flat, and 3 more steps. That’s legit.

And here’s a little bonus….A new 3’ high, 8 ½’ wide, concrete Jersey barrier will also be put into place. This thing comes with super smooth transitions and the same angles as the real thing. It’s bringing some much needed street swagger and creativity.

This is our hometown park, so you can bet on us throwing a jam style contest this summer to celebrate the new addition and to show some love to Sandy and Roger Leavitt- the real driving force behind this local park.

Stay tuned to the Blogger and Facebook for updates!

Don’t forget to sign up for our mailing list over on the right!

Much Love!

We're opening up a new and unique way to get your name out to the skate community. It’s a new segment on our blog called, “Local Spotlight”. If you kill it, or know of someone who does, here’s what you need to do:

Hit us up at sales@renegadeskateboards.com. Toss us a quick montage and tell us why you (or they) deserve a shot at the spotlight. If it’s dope, we’ll hit you up for a quick interview. Then we’ll get your name plastered on the blog, our Facebook and Twitter pages, and even give you a spot in our newsletter- which goes out to shops, our customers, and anyone else on our mailing list.

This is awesome. Get your footy together!

2011 COLLECTION AND MEDIA KIT RELEASE!!!!

The new deck and clothing collection is in and ready to hit the shelves. It's the first of its kind by designer Ryan Dalton. Hitting the market in April 2011, the line-up features all new artwork and includes decks, hats, T's, and hoodies. The collection also features a ladies line. We're hyped on this! Check it out in the new media kit (we have a link to it below). Then hit up your local shop. If they don't have it yet, start demanding it! Or just go to the online store to cop it. The store will be up in April!



RENEGADE SKATEBOARDS MEDIA KIT

Local Spotlight- Justin Miner (Pittsfield, NH)

This is the first little segment where we seek out unknown local skaters and try go give them a little exposure.

Here's some footy we found of Justin Miner- an up and comer from the small town of Pittsfield, NH. I got the chance to skate with him a little while back and found out that not only does he rip, but he's also a damn good dude. In fact, probably one of the coolest people I've ever met. And in Pittsfield, he is a local celebrity to the kids.

Check it out, show him some love. And keep in mind that the streets he's skating on haven't been paved in about 10 years. I've driven them. They're haggard. We'll get him out for a session this summer to get some new footy and an interview.

Ever Wonder What The Hardest Thing About Rollerblading Is?

Every wonder what the hardest thing about roller blading is?

We found out. And go figure, it's spot on with Jay Wynne's earlier analysis.

THE HARDEST THING ABOUT ROLLERBLADING

Granite Skate Skatepark- Opening April 2011

You know that age-old phrase, “It’s about time”? That’s exactly what we said when we heard about the new Granite Skate skatepark opening up in April 2011 in Nashua, NH. It’s the first of its kind in southern NH. And the preliminary reports about the park are dope. EB got a private session in on March 5th (lucky!). Tune into the EB Nashua blog…they have a crazy edit coming soon. We’re hyped to see it!

Here’s some quick tidbits about the park… It’s 24,000 square feet- the second largest in New England. The owners dumped upwards of $350,000 into this thing and included a little bit of everything you could want. There’s concrete ledges, a down-flat-down ledge, rails, tranny, a pyramid, stairs, and a 140’ street course that will allow you to throw some lines together!

Check out the Granite Skate Skatepark website to learn more. The site has everything you need- from photos, to hour and price information, to waivers and even online pre-registration.

It’s about damn time!

Spring 2011 Collection- Sneak Peek

Shout out to our Creative Director and VP of Sales, Ryan Dalton. He put in some long hours to bring the Spring 2011 collection to life. We hope you like it.

Look for it online and in your local skate shop in April 2011!!!

With over 15 dedicated sponsors some providing vendor booths, demo teams and company trucks the atmosphere was bumping with loud tunes and crazy tricks. Fourty + contestants battled it out through a 45 minute jam style format running into a tough finals round, competitors had the prizes on their mind. A brand new limited edition 7th Annual Downtown Throwdown snowboard from Bean Snowboards, a new pair of K2 skis from Norms Ski and Bike, as well as new cell phones provided by At&T. Granite Gorge Terrain Parks set up the whole event and Teds Shoe and Sport was a main sponsor as well. Other contests went on after the awards like a free product toss for the fans and a slow-dance with Dave Morin for a free case of Monster Energy, a brave female spectator came forth!!

Showing love to the NE Skate Scene- Dave Bachinsky Mini Ramp Session

Well, this has absolutely nothing to do with Renegade, but it's probably some of the best mini ramp footy ever. Thanks to Dave Bachinsky for putting New England on the map. This is us showing you a little love.

If you haven't seen this yet, get yourself some new trousers.

DC EXCURSION

So I just spoke with Adam Atherton, who informed me of how crappy it is to be buried in snow. That's when we decided that the NH crew needs to make a trip down to DC pronto. With temps in the 50's and 60's....and not a flake of snow to be found...the short 8 hour drive would be well worth the weekend of winter shredding. A free place to sleep, new parks, new spots, and a ton more to do. Who's down!?!? Get in on this!

BACK TO THE BONEYARD 3 AT WATERVILLE

We hate that we can't be promoting skate events. But since all of New England is burried in 16,000 feet of snow, we have no choice but to give you the lowdown on upcoming snow contests. Here's another one, brought to you by one of the best and most respected shops in new England. Much love to EB.

GG’s 7th Annual Downtown Throwdown- March 5th

The dudes at Granite Gorge are making it happen yet again. For the 7th year running, they're putting together one of the most anticipated and loved snowboard events in southern New Hampshire.

This is no “set up a box and have a little jib session” BS. This thing shuts the lot down and brings in a crowd from all over NH and MA. Each year the event has grown exponentially. And this year is no different. Since making Transworld last season, GG has been on a tear- killin’ everything from park admission to print and media exposure. This year, they are bringing in local and national sponsors for the Downtown Throwdown. Here are just a few that I can think of: Monster Energy, AT&T, Bean Snowboards, Steez Magazine, DC Shoe Co., Oakley, Lab n’ Lager, Burn Helmets, Never Summer, Beaver Street Market, and Ted’s Shoe and Sport. And of course, the Rollin’ Box Bus will be on site. Check out the Renegade vinyl on it!

You want to be a part of this. Get to Gilbo Avenue in Keene, NH around 11:30am to register (the contest will be taking place in the public lot located next to the skate park and behind Ted’s Shoe and Sport). The comp starts at 1:00pm. It will be broken down into two divisions- 16+. And 15 and under. The top prize for the 16+ snowboard winner is pure magic- a customized, limited edition Bean Snowboard. The top skier will take home some new skis. AT&T will be giving out some free phones. And look for a little cash to be tossed around.

Get there. Throw down. Enough said.
