[This coverage of MHFOS come from Ross at the SLAC]
Maryhill Festival of Speed for me was like traveling in time. It was 7 years since I was last at Maryhill for the 2001 EDI event. So many of the old faces were their and so many new ones. I couldn't believe how well organized the whole event was. Maryhill truly represented a world championship event. The Award Ceremony was so amazing. We had Never Summer boards being given out people running around having flour wars and a rock concert. Marcus and John even let the SLAC team sell over $760 worth of tickets that weekend for Paskapoo Raffle.
The overall event went off without a hitch to the best of my knowledge. The hill looked better then every with it's new resurfacing and the racing was intense. I had a birds eye view of the whole final run that you can see on youtube. From a speedboarders perspective Scoot was unbelievable the battle was long and hard. I was particularly suppressed off the start when Martin was in last. I initial blamed it on this helmet switch but in the end he pulled off a 3rd place which to me was also a hugh surprise.
Over all the weekend was amazing I saw alot of my friends and have a great time with all of them. It is a great race and one that should be on any longboarders top list of races to attend in the future. I also recommend the Brazil race in Oct. Ross Baradoy
