Richmond Skate Ranch – “Legends Never Die” Campaign
Protest Movement is super stoked to announce that we have joined forces with the legendary Kevin Harris along with Ryan Ellan at Sasquatch Sign Co. to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of when the Richmond Skate Ranch opened their doors by creating amazing products exclusively available through our website which will help raise money towards positive skateboard events that help grow the next generations of skateboarders. We bring you the Limited Edition RSR – Legends Never Die Cruiser Deck only 100 available signed and numbered by Kevin Harris himself, and also give the opportunity to order multiple styles of T-shirts, Hats or Hoodies. 25% of the profits from the Decks and 15% of the profits from the apparel will be donated directly to Hippie Mike’s Super Tour to give back to Canadian Skateboarding. ALL products will be for sale for the month of April only on a Pre-Order basis and items will be shipped on June 1st.
The Richmond Skate Ranch was an amazing Indoor Skate Park built right after Expo ’86 happened in Vancouver, Canada, to give a home to the Expo Vert Ramp, and it helped to build some of the most well known, and well respected Canadian Skateboarders to come out of the 90’s like Colin McKay, Rob “Sluggo” Boyce, Rick Howard, Moses Itkonen, Sean Mortimer, Ben Chibber, Peter Sullivan and John Raimondo all who have gone on to build their own successful skateboard brands and companies in the industry that helped build more skateboarders. The stories of the infamous “Ranch” still live today as memories of the best place ever to skate in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. People travelled from all over the world to come check it out, skateboarding was not as accepted back then and to have an indoor spot where it was safe to skate and no one would bother you with ignorant comments or actions was revolutionary. Who better to give all these guys such opportunities but Canada’s first Professional skateboarder Kevin Harris. Kevin looks back on the Skate Ranch as a place where he watched the next generations of skateboarders grow and that is something he wants to continue, so as we partner together to run this “Legends Never Die” Campaign we will be donating proceeds from the profits to the 2017 Hippie Mike’s Super Tour, a local series of contests that travels around the lower mainland of British Columbia every summer hosting 3-4 competitions for all ages of skateboarders to participate in and have fun together.
