Race #1 - RIM Park, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
This is the first event of the series that my co-hosts and I are putting on this year. We have completed 3 of them and have 3 more to go before the end of the season. Here's the group shot of all skaters from the first one. We had 10 of us show up on this gorgeous sunny day. Sunburns were plentiful, but the track is oh so worth it.
Gotta grind that content while the homies were spinning in circles! Everyone had a blast ripping the mini loop. A bunch of kids got off their scooters/bikes to watch us battle it out.
This is the angle I'm catching in the above photo that was in my last post. Pump Track Battle Royale is what we named it, which was essentially a last man standing. This has been a fun addition to the event and some organized chaos. Depending on attendance, the track can get pretty hectic when all of us are skating at once!
The calm before the storm, the boys gathering their marbles before we all drop into the mini loop
These 2 battled it out for at least 10 minutes pumping it up, pushing it to the limit
Buddy went behind to get a closer look at these 2 fierce combatants
Just keep spinning, just keep spinning
Ben secured the dub in the end and he won his money back and I hooked him up with some parts for his trucks
I'm still on the hunt for sponsors for the next 3 events, reaching out to local brands. I will be posting some more shots from the next races that already happened last month. Keep your eyes peeled to my feed!
Shoutout to Comet Skateboards and Riptide Sports for the support so far!
If anyone is looking for ideas to host events at pump tracks here was the format we used
