Ruler of the Railz

What could be better than hitting the skate park to show off some sweet new tricks and also getting some sick Soapoint swag? Well, nothing! A little while ago we had the amazing opportunity to be involved with the Ruler of the Railz Skate Competition held at Redstone Skatepark in Highlands Ranch. The Soapoint team is big on contributing to a good cause and this was no exception. As our part, we made and donated over 70 shirts to give away. Each top ranking kid from each level received a swag bag that included other gifts along with some sweet Soapoint t-shirts and stickers. But, we never like to see anyone walk away without anything, so at the end there was a free-for-all t-shirt throwing extravaganza. Luckily, there were no injuries and everyone lived to ride another day. You should have seen it, kids and t-shirts flying everywhere! It was a mad grab for an exclusive Soapoint T-shirt, even though some kids got the wrong size shirts, they didn't care. The competition was separated into several different levels depending on age. There were kids ranging in age from 6 to 15 tearing it up everywhere! The tricks were amazing, the speed dizzying, and the height they flew impressive. I've never seen an eight year old land such a sick nollie heel flip down a 5 stair.

All in all, it was another amazing event for Soapoint Graphics. Not only did we get to be involved with a worthy cause and donate to the Ruler of the Railz, but as many of you may or may not know, Soapoint has always been down with the skate, BMX and any other form of sport that greatly endangers ones front teeth. "Growing up in small town Kansas, the skate and BMX groups we had got us through the boring days and kept us out of trouble. It means a lot to give support to the younger crowd and encourage them to do constructive things with their time instead of getting into trouble. Having the dedication that these kids do for the sports they love is inspiring, I even brought my bike with me and jumped into the bowls and shredded for awhile. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to get involved with some more community events in the Denver area." Owner Mike Hornbeck.

We would like to thank Amber Garrett for the opportunity to be a part of such a fun event.
