Madrid – Spring 2013 Maryhill Freeride

The recent spring Maryhill Freeride was blessed with consistent tail winds all weekend, so the hill was unusually fast and the pack riding was a little more subdued. Still, there was plenty of the silliness and sketchiness that the event is known for, so sit back and enjoy this compilation of clips Madrid put together. Special thanks to Scoot, Cord Brown, and Lee Gilmar for the additional footage.

Events: Catalina Classic 2013

“In 1977, a small group of elite downhill skaters took over the City Of Avalon to participate in the original ‘Catalina Classic’. A 250 yard downhill race course tucked in the hills of an exotic little island located just 26 miles offshore, yet a world away from the rat race just across the channel. These skaters, along with this event have inspired generations of riders and largely contributed to the lifestyle synonymous with our part of the World. With a huge nod of respect to the originals of downhill skating – Riviera Skateboards and our closest friends presents, The 2013Catalina Island Classic on May 4th-5th, 2013. A weekend long island skate invasion featuring a 1.2 mile, invitation only downhill race event with a cash purse of $7500.” – Riviera Skateboards
