The Red Bull Cornerstone Series kicked off the 2021 run at one of St. Louis, Missouri’s most epically unique skateparks-Sk8 Liborius, a skatepark inside of a 165-year old church.
For Men’s, we saw Andreas Alvarez take first place, with Elijah Evans trailing behind a close second and Deano Tull on the heels in third. For the Women’s Division, Rhegan Spiegel took home first. Behind her were Maya Davison in second and Madi Weiner in third.
Maia Weingartner took home best trick with an awesome hippie jump through the bump-to-bar and Drew Nguyen claimed best trick in the Men’s division with a proper front crook nollie flip out down the hubba.
Hot on the heels of St. Louis, skaters of the Midwest gathered at Studio Skate Supply in Kansas City, Kansas for stop number 2 of the Cornerstone series.
In the Men’s division, we saw Manny Maire take top honors with a consistent blend of style and power all day long. Shortly trailing was Andreas Alvarez in 2nd and Cass Hecht coming in at a close 3rd. In the Women’s division, Lilly Goodale came out on top. Behind Lilly were Michaela Alexander in 2nd and Rhegan Spiegel in 3rd.
For Kansas City’s Best Trick, we saw Lucas Delao win with a hardflip back lip in the men’s division and Kayliie DeLaCruz take the cake in the women’s division with a kickflip body varial.
Now in its 3rd year, the Red Bull Cornerstone series invites the Midwest’s top skaters to put together their best runs in the region’s premier indoor skateparks for a chance at a piece of the $25,000 series cash purse! This year’s local qualifier events will be held in Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
The top skaters at each event advance to the Red Bull Cornerstone Final at The Bay in Lincoln, Nebraska on December 5. And it's worth mentioning: The best trick competition is also back this year! After a short hiatus, skaters will once again compete for $1000 and a Red Bull Cornerstone Skate Feature Grant for the local skate park they qualified from!
