Anthony Grant, "Snax" Damon Carpenter, Frank Shaw, Johnny Turgesen, and Jason Garza will be representing Oregon for this epic weekend. If you don't go check this out then you might as well quit skateboarding.

Push Race Results

Last Friday we partnered up with 541 longboarding and had a push race from Ashland to Medford. It was a long 14 miles but it didn't really matter to these guys that were racing. I was on my bicycle and had stopped in the beginning to get pictures of the racers and by the time I got back on my bike I could barely catch up. Joey Martin and Joey V.D were the only ones pushing skateboards while there were a few others on bikes. There were about 15 guys on longboards. There was a few crashes and some blood on the greenway but everyone was stoked to have made it through the long haul. We finished the race with a BBQ at Bear Creek park to award the winners and hand out some prizes. Thanks to Never Summer, Stella, and Landyachtz for the swag!!
The winners:
1st place- James Woods
2nd place- Jim Schmidt
3rd place- Brent Chapman
