Rumor “Hey! That’s Rad.”

So I was chattin’ on the phone with Mike the other day, and after talking to him for a bit it really started to sink in that the guys at Rumor know how to run a legit skate/snow shop.
Rumor has been around a couple years now, and are more than just doing their part in hyping up the skate scene in Leduc.
Co-owners Mike Maurer and Dean Piquette are going above and beyond the normal call of duty and building a family that cares about the scene, although a few years ago they probrably didn’t imagine they would be doing what they’re doing now. Dean has a Law degree from the U of A. After pursuing that career for a while he realized he was much happier being apart of something he was hyped on. Maurer has been around the Edmonton scene for years working in different shops and running his own board company. The guys in Leduc should thank their lucky stars that these two decided to take a different path and run their own shop.
Rumor is a rad shop that has been supporting Olive since the day they opened, so we just wanted to tell them..Hey! That’s Rad.
Check out their shop site HERE .
Here’s Mitch Phillips shredding at the Kask park. Thanks to Owen Woytowich for the photo.
