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 huge surprise. Over all the weekend was amazing I saw a lot 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 P.S. EARLY BIRD DRAW FOR "SAVE THE PASKPOO DH RODEO" ENDS SEPT 4th MIDNIGHT. |

| Calgary did well at the Sullivan Challenge on Sunday July 20th
2008 in Kimberly, BC. With Top Challenge and Paskapoo not on
this year, the Sully is now the last Canadian race of the year.
