TL;DR

Mauacba, is renovating its mini ramp with help from Gnars and artwork by Préas. The relaunch event will feature competitions, music, and the premiere of Mauricio Nava’s video part, along with the launch of his pro model deck in partnership with Gnars. Sales of decks and apparel will fund the Gnars treasury, with a 10% discount for purchases made with crypto.

Introduction

Mauacba is more than just a bar—it’s a gathering spot for those who live and breathe skateboarding. Mauacba has become a hub not only for socializing but also for hosting events that celebrate skate culture. It’s the place where professional skaters, amateurs, and fans come together to share experiences, watch incredible tricks, and embrace the lifestyle that skateboarding represents.

Over time, Mauacba’s mini ramp—one of the venue’s main attractions—has worn down due to heavy use and exposure to the elements. Now, it’s time for a major upgrade! The ramp will be completely rebuilt through a project sponsored by Gnars, bringing in a new, modern structure ready to host amazing tricks and unforgettable moments.

Furthermore, the ramp’s reconstruction not only revitalizes the space but also places Gnars in the spotlight at a strategic, high-demand location for skate events. Alongside major brands like Monster Energy, Gnars strengthens its connection with skate culture, boosting its presence among skaters, fans, and partners while celebrating the essence of skateboarding culture.
