Cathlamet Downhill Corral
Billy Bones posted,
Pdx Downhill, Rip City Skates, and the town of Cathlamet, WA are proud to announce the Cathlamet Downhill Corral.
This is a two day longboard festival held August 29th and 30th 2009. The events include a push race and slalom race on Saturday and then the downhill race on Sunday. The push race will be a 7 mile course on Puget Island right next to Cathlamet. The slalom race will happen at the local high school and will feature a course set up by Skip Marcotte. The downhill race will take place all day Sunday and the course is very similar to Kimberly, BC's Sullivan Challenge. It is slow to start off but then gets steep and technical very quickly. There will be a $500 cash prize(donated by Rip City Skates) for 1st place and custom boards for the podium donated by Rayne. This is the first race of it's kind in Cathlamet, Washington. So show up, throw down, and see if you have what it takes to be the Cathlamet Champion!
Full Face Helmet, Leathers or full pads required.

Here's the link to the new camp site, but if you already have space at the marina, it's your call if you want to cancel it - there's pluses to either camp site.
