On June 22nd, the Renegade Vert Series celebrated backyard vert skateboarding and its family and friends at Stop #2 on the 2019 circuit at Damian’s oasis in Maryland.
As Bob Umbel shared in his most recent RVS newsletter: “Everything old will be new again” or so saying the goes. And it seems true enough. Look at the obsession with directional retro skateboards that’s taken hold over the last few years…. clothing… helmets…. But for everything old to be new again, it kind of needs to be old for a while, doesn’t it? The point is: that whole deal is old in the way Myspace is old, not in the way, say, playing Mortal Kombat on a miraculously still-functioning Super Nintendo is old. One is old and lame. The other is older and much more cool. Which brings me to my long-winded point. Backyard vert events rule, it’s a little holiday and brings back the cool.”
Check out the results along with photos from the contest by JJ Kefalas and Glenn Joyce, and stay tuned for Stop #3 on August 31, 2019 at Drake’s in Leland, North Carolina.
