2008 Maryhill Festival of Speed Article I found

Here's an article I somehow got a hold and scanned of what looks to be the equivelent of our Portland General Electric but in Klickitat County (where Maryhill is). Thought it was kind of interesting. Supposedly we "descend at more than 50 mph" ha ha...well yes, but not at Maryhill.

Hahah, that's awesome. Though I feel a little mo stupiduh after reading that.

"sturdy helmets".....hardly.

I'm still trying to figure out what "inline board" is and how I can get into that category? (left column - 3 lines up from the bottom)

......an inline board is a dirtsurfer.

except dirt surfers aren't racing at maryhill....ha ha. Pretty sure they fucked that part up.

what?

because I've always heard dirtsurfers being called inline boards...hmm, even by the guy at zoobomb that rides one.. weird.

maybe they're talking about the wierd ass standup DH boards that people ride with the roller blade on the front and regular skate truck on the back?

that's an OnShore Board and those aren't competing either...I think the person writing the article just goofed a little there.

wtf? hhaha, well.. I guess that's what you get when someone writes a story about us that isn't into the sport...

..it's just about as bad when you'll be cruising down the street and some yells "do a kickflip!" as you're riding a rocky bomber or dropkick or something. haha

I typed "inline board" in on google and this is what I got..

Traditional three and four wheeled skateboards, or
mountainboards, incorporate a chassis or truck system that
moves independently from the deck, while surfboards and

The two-wheeled in-line design of the Dirtsurfer boards allow them to truly mimic the great fluid-turning motion of surfing and snowboarding because they too lean with the rider without a compromise between a separate deck and chassis.

It says inline board in the beginning.. maybe they are racing?? idk..

yeah I know what a dirt surfer is, I've ridden one. They're not racing at maryhill...aka, they goofed up in the article. That's the only point I was trying to make.
