Des Moines is proud to present the second annual downhill skateboarding event! This event which will take place on the 28th of June from noon until five will consist of a downhill race and slide jam. There is no entry fee, but riders are required to wear helmets and gloves. Gloves can be provided to riders if a host is notified prior to the 28th.

Even Non-Longboarders are welcome to the event!

The competitive events will consist of races, longest hands down slide, longest heel side, and longest toeside!

The location is Oakbrook Drive in Urbandale, IA. This road is right off of Deer Creek Trail, so don’t be confused with the other Oakbrook lurking in Urbandale. The address of the top of the hill is 13465 Oakbrook Dr, Urbandale, IA 50323.

After the slide jam there will be a skaters grill out at Mac Rae park just south of Downtown Des Moines, Iowa. There’ll be the usual grillin’ food: hot dogs, burgers, and music! Also…another hill!
