Maryhill Festival of Speed photos by Jon Huey

You’ve already read the news. Skate Slate’s own ambassador won Maryhill Festival of Speed for the second time. But, you may not have known that I won the classic luge (buttboard) race. Then again, maybe you don’t care. I do though! I’m super stoked and have bragging rights for a year, so “nah nah, and blah blah!” Eat it! Enjoy these photos.

And now, the finals!

The audience of downhill skateboarders were starting to get bored and decided to give some of the final heats a warm flagellant welcome.

The finals were unfortunate with Kevin Reimer and Billy Bones getting tangled up on the push. Even further, Douglas Dalua was pinched out of an inside line on the second repeater. This left Patrick Switzer, Zak Maytum, and Alex Tongue contending for the podium.

Slalom boards are king for the Maryhill track. See you all next year! Oh, I forgot to mention, I won the buttboard race! I didn’t have a T-shirt for my board sponsor, Subsonic, so I had the artist Alicia Fillback paint a logo on my hairy chest. Big thanks to Alicia for bearing through the barely bare bear while I drank a beer…
