[tomahawk]

Come rally to Berkeley to slay some hills!!

Soft wheeled slide comp across a wide range of Berkeley hills! We'll rotate through several hills to avoid any conflicts with the 'po/residents.

rain or shine event...rain will just make things crazier. expect gnar, expect crappy pavement, expect cored wheels. expect SCHWAG!

Details/flyer to follow in the next coupla days.

lol, you know I love that crappy pavement!

Damn, sounds like fun. I'd love to come skate... mayhaps this would justify a trip up there...

so just to be clear, this is a soft wheeled freeride contest? And what is considered soft? (86a yellow freerides from orangatang ok?)

Yellow O'tangs = win. I doubt the contest has many strict rules on equipment, but softer wheels will probably make your life easier, anyway (if we're going to any of the roads I'm thinking of, at least).

I am so stoked for this!

Would you guys say this is for amateur, intermediate, or expert riders/ sliders???

[Bookworm]

I may need a ride to/from. that or brave 2.5 hours of public transportation each way.

anything. the hills will be intermediate, but anyone can ride down them. the difference between amateur and expert is how stylishly you can ride down em.

Where do you guys usually ride in Berkley? do you guys have a shop or something?

Does anyone know if Paris or Randal trucks are better for sliding and downhill? and are Orange retro big zigs good for riding in Berkley.
