(Video clip from Salt Spring Slasher race on Saturday, Aug. 24 by Bryn Finer)
Some 35 downhill longboard racers — including some of Canada’s best — tackled the Juniper Place hill in the Salt Spring Slasher 13 on the Aug. 24-25 weekend.
Early morning showers on the Saturday gave way to perfect weather conditions for the rest of the weekend. A number of spectators climbed to the designated spot and BBQ site at the course’s final curve.
Organizer Maxwell Kaye reported that Alex Hannigan finished in first place, followed by Ajay Andrew Daniels, Cam Brick and Katerina Hill. Both Hill and Hannigan will represent Canada at the World Skate Games in Italy in September, as will Kaye in the street luge event.
There’s a proper traffic jam out front, and without a single sheep in sight.
