Boomtown 5: A Downhill Skatepark

June 18, 20121 Comment

Boomtown 5 was a blast! Janky ramps littered the hill everywhere. The road itself was definitely steep and windy enough to get the blood flowin’ and the ‘thane lines thoroughly distributed. The cast of skaters in attendance was both large, and in charge. The weather was fine, the industry kicked down some serious support, and the shred was shredded. A downhill skatepark indeed!

Upon our arrival to Eugene, Oregon and the Boomtown 5 event, we were made aware of a wild-hair somewhere up near the vicinity of our rear end. In accordance with the social protocol of such a finding, we were prompted to join forces with our homies over at Muir Skate, and instead of the usual photo article, we made an event video. Sorry in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Anyway, here’s what we came up with. A big thanks to the event organizers, the event sponsors, and all the skaters who came out and shredded heavily. Please enjoy this Boomtown 5 visual extravaganza:
