Red Bull Skate teamed up with Chris PastrasRyan ShecklerJagger Eaton and Kingswell's Patrick Melcher for a quick conversation about the importance of the local shop in the sphere of today’s skateboard scene.

With a deep understanding of the state of the brick-and-mortar business side of skateboarding, Red Bull understands that the retail sector has struggled during the global pandemic and skate shops are no exception. In recognition of the role that local shops play in supporting a passion for skateboarding, Red Bull Solus is giving competitors a chance to give back. The winner will receive $2,500 to donate to a skate shop of their choice.

Voting has ended, but those who participated voted for their favorite skatepark run. And the winner is donating the prize to the skate-shop of their choice. Big ups to the king of Madness SkateboardsJack Fardell for nominating KINGSWELL as his potential beneficiary.
