This will be a weekend of riding the most famous longboarding hill in the world. This event is open to the first 90 or so riders who sign up and pay the $105 (via PayPal). If you cannot do PayPal please contact me at senor_palmer@hotmail.com for other payment arrangements.

Timeship Racing has stepped up to work with various manufactures to arrange some demo boards to sample throughout the day. This equipment will then be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the City of Goldendale to help with the creation of a concrete skate park. More details on this are to come. If you are a manufacturer and you wish to donate equipment for this event please contact me at the above e-mail address. There are rumors that Timeship is bringing the Bungee….

This is not a race and there are no prizes, spectators or camping. Just a closed hill with hay bales, EMT’s safety workers and shuttles. The first shuttle starts at 9am and goes to 5pm. There will be 6 man heats spaced about a minute apart. We will try and get as many runs as possible each day.

Leathers and a full face helmet are required. If you are found to be riding ANYWHERE on the property without a helmet you may be asked to leave.
There is no smoking of anything on the property.
There will be no alcohol consumption by participants in the event.
The event organizers and the workers are GOD. Their word is law. Give them grief and you may find yourself escorted off the property without a refund.

That goes for all the rules, you break ‘em and you may find yourself being asked to leave and if someone does not want to leave the Sherriff will be called and charges will be filed.

This event is open to all skill levels so these rules will be strictly enforced to insure the safety of all involved.

There will be NO SPECTATORS!!!!! If you are planning on coming with friends, girlfriends, boyfriends or a parent and they want to get onto the property, they must be signed up in advance and they will be put to work as a driver or a course worker. There will be no one allowed on the property that is not on the list.

ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY AND, IF NECESSARY, THEY WILL BE ESCORTED OFF THE PROPERTY BY THE LOCAL SHERRIFF AND CHARGED WITH TRESSAPSSING!

There is a need for about 14 to 20 coarse workers. The course workers will not be paid but will be allowed time on the hill throughout the weekend and after hours.

A crew of 4 or five will be needed for about 4 hours of work on the Friday before to lay out the hay and on the Monday afterwards to clean up the hay. Again helpers will be the only people to ride the hill on those days.

The attendance is limited to insure the riders get the maximum amount of time on the hill (we expect between 10 and 15 runs a day) but still cover the large expense of renting the hill, EMT’s and everything else it takes to put this event on. If you sign up and pay THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS! You may be offered a credit for a future event.

If you sign up as a volunteer and do not show up you will be blacklisted from all future Maryhill Ratz events. The idea is to keep this event small so the riders can get the most runs they can. Any course workers who sign up and do not show up put the whole event at risk so if you sign up please be serious.

Course workers will be required to sign a waiver and those under 18 will have to have a waiver signed by their parent or guardian.

Colabo

2008-11-09T22:22:00.000-08:00

Dan Pape is the mastermind behind the Colabo project, we caught dan on the phone last week for this interview.

For the people who don’t know. What is Colabo?

Colabo is a group of riders that were picked because of their ability to inspire the community through their riding as opposed to picking them based on their standing’s on the podium. We are also about camaraderie and pushing the sport to a whole new level regardless of what brand of board you have under your feet.

The project has evolved throughout the last couple of years, how did you come to making a film.

Some friends of mine were making a music video and I went to the set to check it out. While on set I met a really cool filmmaker and started talking about filming and how I would like to bring our [long board] filming to the next level. He showed a great deal of interest so we deiced to do an experiment shoot on North Boundary road with full HD cameras and his 40 ft boom. The stoke was so evident after the first shoot we started to do a shoot or two a month and the project just kind of evolved into where we are today in the process of making a full length movie. We want to really show people in our community and the people around the world the best side of our sport using cutting edge filming and camera’s to bring us past all the low quality Youtube videos.

What has been the most memorable day in the filming the project?

Um…. I would probably say the best day to this point, was when Max and some of the Landyachthz crew went up to Mt Baker. It was a beautiful spring day, there were 10 ft snow banks on the side of the road, and everybody had a crazy energy. It turned out to be a pretty crazy day. Being up a mountain on top of the world and filming skateboarding with a bunch of friends is an experience that only a few people get to be a part of.

There has been a lot of positive and negative talk of your project, can you talk little bit about that?

The majority of the feedback we have been getting about out production has been all positive. Most people like how it is helping bring our sport to the next level. I would say that an overwhelming majority of the feedback has been really positive. As far as the negative feedback goes, we have just used it to try to make our production better. As for the accusation that we are glamourizing the sport, the video is really not about glamourizing anything. The movie is more about showcasing the true talent and the true skills of the riders. You can’t really do that with clips on Youtube. I think to really get it out there to a larger audience the video really needs to be done right.

What has been the toughest part of the project so far?

The toughest part of the project has definitely been getting sponsors for the video. Right now we only have raw footage and an idea so it’s a really tough sell. I think that it is that the companies that can afford to sponsor something like this are use to having a finished project to decide on whether or not they want to get involved. I think that when we start to work on our second project it will be a lot easer to get sponsors on board.

So I hear that you have just finished filming, what’s the next step?

Oh yeah it’s a huge, huge weight off our shoulders to have all the filming done. In the past 11 months we have faced countless road blocks and challenges. It feels so good to have it all done.
I guess the next step is the post-production phase and to start editing the video. Although the last 11 months has been really challenging for both the crew and riders, the biggest challenge is still ahead. I think that no matter how good your footage is if its not put together in the right way than it won’t really showcase the riders and film makers that worked so hard to make this happen.

Thank-you for your time today. Good luck with the project. Looking forward to seeing the final cut. I am sure it will be epic.

A road trip Photo journal from the Madrid van.

After 3 days of skateboarding, and partying 2 days of destroying Vancouvers hills and parks it was hard to believe that things could escalate from here. The drive south left off from the daggers house aka “the stoup” at around 6 pm when the van was emptied of 7 days of road trip filth to make room for the new collection of empty beef nugget bags , beer cans and grease stained fast food wrappers. The following is a incomplete memory in photos and video of a epic road trip in the Madrid van.
