Central MA Freeride, DH, flatland & Slide Jam Competition !


Update***Date change to the 21st for the MA event. 

Central MA is full of skilled skaters and sick hills, so I've decided to organize a skate event! Come join lots of other skaters on a closed road in Harvard, MA (specific location forthcoming) to thrown down some crazy slides, compete for prizes, or just cruise around and spectate.

NEW DATE: Saturday, 8/15/10
TIME: 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM + "after-skate" sesh

There will be a freeride "best trick" competition, a "longest slide" competition, other fun stuff, a general freeride period and potentially a DH race.

PRIZES have graciously been put forth by a number of sponsors looking to spread the Beast Coast stoke. From decks to slide pucks, there's some serious stuff to win, so bring your skills!

ROAD CLOSED by police detail

ENTRY FEE is $10 if you plan to skate in the prize-winning events; this helps cover the cost of safety materials like haybales, water/food, and a police detail (and potentially a cash prize, depending on the number of entries)

PROTECTIVE GEAR must be worn by competitors ! ! ! This is important.

EVERYONE is invited, from the sponsored pro to the interested spectator .

IF YOU PLAN ON COMPETING / RACING, PLEASE RSVP to emgeemann@gmail.com with the subject line "skate event RSVP"

Remember to bring your smiling faces, some water, and if you want, a camera! High-quality video footage and photos will be taken throughout the event, but the more snaps the merrier.

AFTER-EVENT:
The Harvard locals would be happy to show anyone that's interested the smorgasboard of delicious hills and fun spots that this town has to offer. For a sampling to whet the palette, check the following:
