This is rad. Skatelite recently built a new park on an island and decided to throw a massive party to celebrate the completion. Take a look at this video Ride BMX dropped from the weekend giving you a look at some of the locals getting their first sessions in at the park along with a few guys like Mat Hoffman, Dennis McCoy, Zack Warden and more all getting down on the vert ramp. Looks like it was a great time!
“Dubbed The Retreat, Skatelite invited out top BMX and skate pros to San Juan Island to have a week of fun, including wake boarding, whale watching, and everything in between. Truly a retreat, everyone was set up in their own luxury vacation rentals and treated with nothing but good times. The reason for all of this? Skatelite wanted to christen a public park that they built (for free!) on neighboring Lopez Island in a proper way. So they brought in top pros, assembled the X Games vert ramp, invited some bands, and threw one hell of an event for the locals. To put it in perspective, I’m fairly certain I had one of the best 48 hours in recent history over on an island that I didn’t know existed off the coast of Washington. Really. Cheers to Skatelite for doing something great for a community that didn’t have access to a park. And look for ‘em to do it again next year…
