We had 40 skaters in 4 divisions and pulled off 4 events in 2 days. It was a huge task but we were able to get it all in and everyone had a fun time! Killer racing, good times and no one got seriously injured. We got tons of local publicity and the crowds were pretty big for being such an isolated location. All-in-all it was nice time.
The cash prize purse was big, the swag table even bigger and those of you who came out and set up tents just added to the festivities. All the riders left stoked and a bunch of new kids got introduced to the sport!
Below is a up we posted on www.ncdsa.com and www.sliverfishlongboarding.com with the results of the top finishers in each event and some links to some of the publicity that we got for the event.
