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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
