Maryhill Festival of Speed 2012 Photos

Mischo Erbahn has one of the best skate-faces in the business and the good sense to rock a clear visor.

Maryhill in all its curvaceous glory. Click through for a much larger version.

Andrew Chapman always has an awesome skate-face.

Chip Wood prefers to hide behind two layers of tinting.

Biker Sherlock showed up and raced. That black on black suit is mighty stylish, if I may say so myself.

The Festival of Speed took a page out of the Freeride rulebook and let this giant pack of dudes get a run. I see Dustin Hampton, Nick Ronzani, Sinjin Davis, Kyle Chin, #MaximGarantRousseau, Will Royce, and a couple dudes I don’t recognize.

Laguna grom Ethan Vinograd winning the Junior Is. They had to run the finals twice and lil’ homie took it home both times, like a boss.

#MGR, Spencer Smith, and some other dudes enjoying a practice run.

Dalua winning his semifinal. Alex Tongue, Billy Meiners, Dillon Stephens, and Nicolas Desmarais bring up the rear.

Repechage was pretty heavy this year. This is Brian Bishop beating Max Capps and Nick Ronzani.

This ginger kid got “No Soul” on the back of his leathers. Killing it.

Alicia Fillback bought Skatie Katie’s old leathers, showed up at Maryhill and won the first race she ever entered. We’re stoked on Alicia.

See y’all next summer.

The Mad Scientist: Spencer Smith

“When not shredding his new RAD wheels on the hills, Spencer spends a lot of time in his work shop messing around to specifically tune his ride according to his needs.. One sunny Seattle afternoon he puts his newest setup to the test.”

SK8Trip to Maryhill with ABEC 11

“The ABEC 11 Maryhill Festival of Speed is one of the premiere downhill skateboarding and street luge events in the world. Top racers from around the world converge on the Maryhill Loops Road to compete in the first world cup event on the IGSA tour.

This year GRN TM riders came from all over the world to participate. A bunch of skaters piled into the Sk8Trip Bluebird bus at our headquarters in Huntington Beach and others were picked up in San Francisco and Portland along the way. This video captures the skate trip with their traveling highlights and experiences.

ABEC 11 has roots in downhill skateboarding and we continue to provide strong support with all forms of racing. The video focuses on the GRN TM experience but every skater comes away with his own unique and exciting experience at Maryhill. We expect to see you there in 2012! “

Grippins 81a, Serves One

“GRN TM young gun Spencer Smith, shows what to do when you run out of wheels. Cook up some more, then go shred them the next day. Well sadly this isn’t how you actually make wheels but hey it isn’t completely wrong either! Big thanks goes out to Max Wipperman for film and camera work. Get stoked, go skate, be safe.”
