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.

This is an event that I always wanted to go to but never made it down and now it’s the last year it’s happening and there’s no way I’m going to make it. On top of that this is the best flier I’ve seen in a while. Go get your wiggle on!

Unlike Pie Pan UFOs , Nessy, and Bigfoot, the 7th and FINAL Dixie Cup should be put in the category of NON-HOAX with likes of ELVIS being alive and that guy calling from Nigeria to borrow money that he’ll return with 200% interest.
This is for real. Start making your travel arrangements.
Last Dixie Cup! COME GET SOME BEFORE IT’S ALL GONE!

This is Taylor Watson, founder of Sketch Skateboards!  Recently my brand sponsored a longboard skate jam hosted by Adacia Longboards in the Chesapeake/Virginia Beach area on September 10, 2011 in Virginia and drew multiple sponsors.  The event was great, and contained a guest list of 158 people!!  The skaters who attended loved the event so much that I decided to host another event, this time Sketch Skateboards being the host and Adacia Longboards is once again helping to sponsor, along with many other brands such as Original Skateboards, Seismic Skate Systems, XVD Longboards, Storm Longboards, Bustin Boards, SteezyGnar, Kracked Skulls Longboards and LongbeardVA, and many other companies soon to be involved!  The event we are hosting will be a halloween costume skate jam on November 5, 2011.  Skaters will come out dressed in costumes for a full day of fun skating and some serious competitions to wrap up the event.  The event was published online just last Thursday night at 11:00 p.m. and our guest list is already around 60+!

Kolby Parks is hosting this event once again up in Ontario. It’s an IGSA NorAm event so if you want to go grab some points and get on the world ranking list here’s your chance. There were some heavy hitters last year and it rained like mad on race day making for some interesting racing. Here’s the low down.

Just found this info on facebook about a slide jam in Long Island that shredder Josh Wright is putting on. Check it:

motherfucker get your fucking game face on! its time to kill the fucking hill!!!!!

I will post the location of the hill a day or two before to keep it from getting blown up. no cars on the hill but you can park in the surrounding neighborhood or you can take the train and skate the 2/3 mile[ish] to the hill.

HELMETS AND GLOVES REQUIRED!!!! no bucket = no skating. knee pads strongly recommended.

OH YEAH AND THERE WILL BE A NYC LONGBOARD HOCKEY LEAGUE GAME HELD AFTER THE JAM. BRING YOUR STICKS, BRING YOUR BALLS.

IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA BRING IT!!!! THE MORE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS THE BETTER!!!

*****!!!!!!THIS EVENT WILL BE RAIN OR SHINE!!!!!!*****

Registration will open at Noon on July 31st. Any registrations recieved prior to that will be returned.

Heads up! All the essential information is below:

SCHEDULE

9am – Registration Starts
10am – Race Hill Opens for Practice Runs
11am – Downhill Racing Begins

Please do your best to show up on the early side. We cannot guarantee you will be able to race if you arrive after 11.

EVENT FORMATS

Downhill
We can’t tell you where it is yet, but we can tell you that the course has two slopes that take you to the mid-40’s, divided by a short push section (shorter this year!). We are making it more technical with super giant slalom cones on the downhills. We are shooting for a 128-person bracket that will race single-elimination in four man heats, top two advance.

Freeride
This year’s freeride is going to be on a faster slope, and will be judged by some totally worthy peeps. Hard and soft wheels will be allowed, and judges will consider the technical challenges of using either when scoring. The judges will be spread out on the hill so your whole run counts. Because there are so many skaters, riders runs will have to be spaced out, but everyone is guaranteed several runs to show their stuff.

Longest Slide
We will be having a longest slide competition again, and we promise there will be more than enough time for it! Separate prizes for hard and soft wheels.

Freeride SKATE
In our next update, we will be announcing a list of qualifying tricks to get into the Freeride SKATE comp.

Flatland
This year’s flatland is guaranteed to go down, and will be held at a dope spot within walking and skating distance of the race hill. It’s got a great place for spectating, plenty of room for tricks and a small drop-in for some extra speed.

Flatland SKATE
With the number of registrants right now, we’ll be able to play this as a traditional game of SKATE, with the order of riders chosen at random.

PRIZES

Oh, we’ve got a lot of goodies lined up for our winners. Keep an eye out for our next update where you’ll find out exactly what you can get your hands on!

VOLUNTEERS

Want to help us pull this thing off? How about a staff t-shirt? Email emgeemann@gmail.com if you can do morning set up, run registration, race marshal, clean up or just make yourself generally useful. You might even get to use a walky-talky!
