The annual Ruben Osorio Skate Competition hosted by Relate Skateboards was created to celebrate the life of one the founders of the Relate Skateboard Company. In early 2003 Ruben Osorio and Rafael Boria were talking about restarting the company that they attempted in 1994 as young men with a lot of drive but little financial support. Unfortunately, Ruben suffered an untimely death in 2004 to Lymphatic Cancer. In 2005, the Relate Skateboard Company was started and in honor of Ruben as well as a skate competition.
