GRANITE MAYHEM MAKES NASHUA TELEGRAPH!

Last Sunday, we hosted Granite Mayhem at the new Granite Skatepark in Nashua, NH.  It was set up as a laid back jam style contest with prizes going out to those throwing down the hardest. 

Well over 100 people came out to enjoy the event.  The rippers were out in full force tearing the park to shreds.  Even the newspapers came to see what it was all about. Check out what Nashua Telegraph had to say!

Much love!

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!

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!

Wanna Get Some Exposure?

If you're looking to get noticed, you need to get on this...

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.

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!!!

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.
