“Two of the most amazing two weeks of the year, the Sk8bus made the Southwest Series its maiden voyage.  The trip went all the way to Colorado for the Buffalo Bill Downhill, then to New Mexico for Ditch Slap and The Atomic Bomb, and out to Santa Barbara on our way home.  Here is a compilation of footage from the trip.”

Sign up and jump on the next trip with the Sk8Bus.

Race Photos from Giant’s Head Freeride

Adam “Awger” Auger battles Aaron “from the block” Grulich for one-handed toeside supremacy.

While we certainly dig the laid-back, noncompetitive atmosphere at freerides, if you’re going to shut down a sick hill for three days you might as well have a race and see who’s fastest.

Summerland native “Prince” Dillon Stephens defended his title and took first.

Sector 9′s Big Lou was sporting an absolutely filthy moustache when he got second.

JimZ’s hands-down style was surprisingly fast. He and Madrid rider Justin Rouleau crashed later in the run, nuking Rouleau’s ankle.

Thirty more after the jump, including some dudes whose names we don’t know. See yourself?  Let us know so we can put your name up and give you the recognition your steez deserves.

Road Trip: Maryhill Festival of Speed

Special shout out to scene supporters Paris Truck Co for making the trip possible and Rip City Skate for building that ridiculous little bowl and putting us up for a few nights.

While the Festival of Speed is a pretty sick race, you don’t actually get to skate the hill that much; so it’s important to hit spots along the way. Max jumped in the Paris/Divine Van with Wheelbase’s Marcus Bandy, along with Kody Noble, Pat Schep, Eric Singer, and Pete Eubank to skate and film their two-week road trip shredstravaganza. With stops in Big Sur, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Weed, Portland, and Hood River, we had a blast.

There’s something for everyone in this video. Skip to 4:27 if you want to see Striker whack some kid in the head with a golf club.

Raw Run: Zak Maytum at Maryhill Freeride

With a closed road, haybales in place, and EMTs at the ready, the Maryhill freeride allows for absolutely nutty pack riding. Ride along with 2010 Festival of Speed winner Zak Maytum as he weaves through a huge pack, passes a tandem street luge, and rallies the rest of the hill with Kyle Martin, Chip Wood, and Calvin Staub.
