Skatesgiving:Jungle Raw Run from Team Quebec on Vimeo.
We’ve been skating this road since at least 2009. I myself have a history of near death experiences when drifting into the other lane on those rights. Luckily no one ever got seriously hurt. Take a look back at our exploits from one of our first NC trips as a group:
Well you’ve been patient (or had no choice in the matter) and here it is, the first video from our trip. Gotta love mobbing those easy runs with huge packs over 50mph. Good times were had and Nino nearly died. Also once again a big shout out to Phat Dean for hosting all us fools again. Thanks again to the sponsors: Comet, Kebbek, Rotule, Landyachtz, Rayne and Sector 9
If you haven’t read the blog posts we put up during the trip it’s alright, the video is coming so you don’t have to read. Keep your eye on SkateHouseMedia and Team Quebec to see the good stuff.
What you should know about this trip though, is that it’s the third year we’ve taken a Thanksgiving trip. This year we got help from companies but in the past we’ve spent every cent we have to go travel and skate. Regardless of our sponsors and whatever other responsibilities we may have or had we made this trip happen because of our love for skating and for skating these spots. These are my best friends and the people I trust my life to in way more situations than you probably should. These are some of my favorite roads in the world and I know I’ll always come back to them. This trip is entirely about freedom and is probably the most ideal situation I could imagine. So go out and live your passion otherwise you’ll end up like everyone else with the same problems and same desire to do nothing.
I LOVE DOWNHILL GRAND PRIX OF NEW YORK SKATEBOARDING AND STREETLUGE RACE COMES TO WINDHAM MOUNTAIN
WINDHAM, N.Y. (December 5, 2011) − The community of Windham, Windham Mountain and Dean Events are teaming up for the I Love Downhill Grand Prix New York Skateboard & Streetluge Race ( I Y DH GP NY 2012) on June 23-24, 2012.
The race is set to take place in the heart of the Catskill Mountains in Windham, NY, on Clarence D. Lane Road, just two and a half hours north of New York City.
The race course, which runs alongside of host Windham Mountain’s skiing and riding trails, will be over one mile long with five challenging and technical turns that will have racers going at top speed.
“This is sure to be one of the most fun downhill race courses in America,” says Marc Dean of Dean Events LLC. “There are great vantage points from the bottom of the course so spectators will be able to experience the race without having to hike up the hill.”
Event organizers say that the course will challenge the top skateboard racers while building awareness of the sport, its athletes and the longboard skateboard and street luge community.
Event registration for amateur & pro classes will be announced in January on www.ilovedh.com. There will be up to 170 spots available and entry fees will be required by April 30, 2012 to secure registration.
