Everyone had an awesome time at the first Grand Meeting of the DownHill Billies. Thanks go out to Wesley Tucker, Dave Gale, and the awesome Lenny Poage for coming in for the event.
The turnout was tremendous and the stoke was huge. Several skaters tried slalom for the very first time and I know of three that were totally hooked and are now in the hunt for boards.

Here is a link to the first pictures to be available:

www.downhillbillies.org will be up and running in late February and these and many more photos and videos will be available.

This skate jam combine a variety of downhill skating elements and it was great to have them all going on in one place. The Spot turned out to be a great venue but as development continues will not be around much longer. We are in the process of scouting new terrain but if we schedule another Grand Meeting you all need to try to get there!

Thanks again for all of your support! The DownHill Billies rock!

Please post your thoughts if you get a chance.

I think I know that guy!!! :-) Once again, I have to give huge props to Marion (and family) for putting this on, being a great host and showing everyone a great time!! I had a blast and can't wait to do it again. Like we talk about, you have an open invite to Mothman country to check out Ra-cone Creek.
