Possible Tacoma Push Race...

**sethgoesfast** · 08-03-2009 05:01 PM

later this month i was thinking of trying to organize a push race down ruston way by the tacoma water front but i need to know if there is interest for such event and i need a sponsor or two so i can pay for street permits and have a prize for the winner.

if you or someone you know is interested let me know so i can see what out numbers would be like.

if you own a company or know someone who does who can sponsor let me know about that too.

if this goes through ill make some flyers and such to post a local skate shops to get some non silver fishers out there...

wish me luck with this its my first shot at something like this

Slow going I gotta talk to a guy from five mile longboards and to two local skate shops about prizes and if that goes well then the race will be in the next two to four weeks sorry for the delay there is a bit mroe info on NWLB if you care to check that out its possible I might need a few poeple to help actually run it day of the race but other wise its still possible.

BIG UPDATE!
talked to five mile more seriously at maryhill and they are stoked to help out. they are supplying a board for first prize and possible some other stuff we have to hammer some stuff out still. entry will be five bucks and the money will also go to the winner. one question i want to ask you guys however is which way do you want to ride through five mile? we are doing two laps but should we go with the regular flow of traffic or against it (keep in mind on sundays there are no cars this is more of a reference to know which way im talking about) think that over all get the rest of the details out as soon as i know them.

ITS ON!!!
First annual Push The Point. 2 laps through Five Mile Drive in Tacoma Washington. Enjoy some faster downhill sections along with flats and uphill sections to give both beginners and pros a chance for competition. $5 to enter, sign up and pay at 9AM race untill everyone has finished. The road is closed to cars during the race, but it is outlaw so ride at your own risk. 1st place wins a Freeride deck from Five Mile Longboards, 2nd wins a Slalom deck from Roe Racing, and 3rd wins a Carving deck from Bentley Longboards. The entry money will be split between these three finishers. It should be a great time bring a friend and spread the STOKE!
