A Good Friday to slide!

  Two days ago the weather network was calling for rain and things were'nt looking so good for the Good Friday slide event. As the date rolled closer the weather network had a surprise for us, could it really be true? Will the first event of the year in Cambridge Ontario go down this easter weekend?
One answer. Hell yes!
  Weather wise, there wasn't a thing more we could ask for! Clear blue skies without a cloud in sight, pretty surprising given the last week of weather we've had. The event was to start at noon with riders meeting at Axess 33 skate shop around 11:30, as per usual... we were late!
We showed up a little after noon to see the hill full of skaters, at least 30. Really nice turn out for an event that had some issues with their event link.
Let's get to the skating. So much diversity!
  I was at the poop shoot last weekend for the swap meet/ non slide comp and it really seemed like this event today had a bigger array of riding styles. Hard wheel, soft wheel, stand up, hands down and everything in between. The riders that showed were all ready to throw down and it didn't matter if you were 8 or 38 years old, male or female, there was some serious shredding.
 A nice surprise was a bunch of Bombora riders showing up though, local rippers really seemed to have a blast riding with them and so did we! Yours truly made sure to toss some prizes their way, Axess 33 donated a very generous package and even the Bombora riders managed to bring some extra prizes.
  Overall, the event was a total success! By the end of the session the road was completely covered in thane lines. The picture above was taken at the halfway point of the event. Check those thane lines!!! We look forward to hitting up more of these types of local events. Make sure to hit us up if you hear of any!

Cheers Ontario!
