    TUPELO — Returning with hopes to replicate the success of last year, local skaters connected to the skateboard shop Change hope to bring home the crown again during the 4th annual Red Bull Terminal Takeover.

    Each year for the last four years, Red Bull sponsors a skateboarding event that sees the closing of the New Orleans airport for three days. During that time, park and street skaters from towns and cities around the region and world take part in a skate jam, resulting in a film contest up to public vote. Last year, Tupelo took home $5,000, beating the likes of Houston, Texas and New Orleans and Baton Rouge skaters.
