1st Corvallis Open Pusher

[MadMike]

Come and check out the 1st Corvallis Open Skateboard/Longboard push race. This is an outlaw race and helmets are required. It's a pretty easy 5.5 mile course starting at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park continuing through a covered bridge, across the OSU campus, and finally ending up at the Eric Scott Mckinley skatepark. The race at begins at 11:00 and costs $5.00. The entry fees will be donated to the Benton County Skateboarding Alliance to help build a much needed new pool. Once at the skatepark, kick back to some live local bands playing, a great BBQ, and the friends of BCSA Skate Competition. There will be prizes and possibly a raffle.





Following the push race there's a comp at the skatepark. So, come out and ride one or both events. Hope to see you there.

Just wanted to post an update on the race. We've decided to lengthen the course to 7.5 miles by adding a cool section of bike path through the local hills. Also, we've picked up Ninkasi brewery as a sponsor. Here's a map of the course.




Please register on NCDSA if you plan on attending. With a barbecue, a skate comp, and dank beer (for those 21 and older) how you go wrong.

Wow, you got ninkasi as a sponsor. That is awesome. They have the best beer around IMO. The believer is the sh1t.

Yeah, the Total Domination IPA has got to be one of the best IPAs I've ever tasted. We're still working out the details of the beergarden, but anyway it works out we get Ninkasi to drink.

Hey, we got an additional 20+ local racers signed up on our facebook event page. This does not include the ??? amount of college kids showing up. However large flyers posted around campus should entice enough to make this a good size event. I've ran the course a few times and it is very enjoyable given the diversity of scenery taken in, as well as the many amazing historic buildings the OSU campus has to offer. This, combined with a now very exciting line of of bands, a BBQ, and a Skate Nontest at the park afterword, should make for a kick ass few hours!

PS I plan on winning the pusher and skate comp on the same board!
PSS Ninkasi beer has now blown this event off the rictor scale...?..
