Break the piggie bank, sell the mule, hoe the pasture—whatever it is that you gotta do to get to Portland, Oregon for the 2012 Tabor Downhill Challenge—make it happen! Here are all the juicy details, and straight from Mr. Billy Bones himself:
“Pdx Downhill is hosting the 2012 Mt. Tabor Downhill Challenge on June 24th. The MTDHC is a going to be a one day event packed with all kinds of fun. Mt. Tabor Park is located right in the heart S.E. Portland, Oregon and is home to the smooth one-mile course that the race will be held on. The course isn’t too difficult which is why we’ve added the mandatory “old school” tuck to the Open DH class (see: www.tabordh.com for more info). This year we are also introducing some new classes to the downhill race. In addition to the Open DH class we will also have Masters 40+, Groms 14-, buttboard, and minibike (think Zoobomb!). Competitors in the downhill races will be battling it out for the $2,000 we have for this year’s podium. Along with the dh races there will also be a head-to-head slalom race on the old soap box derby track located next to the hill. Once the racing is all said and done, the after party will be held at the Mt. Tabor theater where there will be screenings of old downhill footage, tasty beer (Ninkasi) and some soul music provided by our DJ Andrew Mercado. This may not be the gnarliest race of the year but it will definitely be one of the most fun. Come on out for the weekend of June 24th and check out all the skating that Portland has to offer.” (Billy “Bones” Meiners)
