Volcanic Promotions is pleased to announce the 6th annual Maryhill “Festival of Speed”; North America’s largest gravity sports festival. It is known throughout the world as one of the best race courses and venues. The event continues to be the most anticipated downhill skateboarding world cup event in the world each year. Participants and spectators can look forward to the stellar reputation of the International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) as the Sanctioning body and facilitator for the 2012 World Cup race.
An estimated attendance of 2,000 spectators will be able to watch 200 of the world’s fastest Downhill Skateboarders battle it out on the 2.2 mile, 22 corner historic Maryhill Loops Road; while enjoying two jumbotrons, action sports exhibits, food, musical entertainment, and more.
