Skate the Cape 4 (2015)

This past weekend, November 7-8, was the 4th Annual Skate the Cape Shred Festival hosted by Rob Wheeler of Faceplant Boardriders and WheelRZ Wheels. This event truly is a longboard festival bringing riders together from all over to compete in numerous fun events and camp out right on the scene in the Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware where the event is held. By far one of the most fun events of the year and also the last stop on the Mid-Atlantic Longboard Series.

This year we saw some light rain on Day 1 (Race Day), but that didn't stop riders from pushing it beyond their limits and also made for a great crowd pleaser in "crash corner". The Downhill Event, Small Wheelbase Race, and Enduro Push Race all took place Saturday. Most riders camped out and had a great time in teh park Saturday night and were amped and ready for Day 2's events starting with Slalom then going into the Slide Jams, Boardercross Race, and Big Air Event.

Day 1 Official Results: Grom DH: 1st Troy Dycus - 2nd Ethan Tucker - 3rd Mils Janton AM DH: 1st Troy Drain - 2nd Kevin Abelman - 3rd Austin Manning PRO DH: 1st Aaron Gordy - 2nd Animal - 3rd Brian Fitch Small WheelBase Race: 1st Josh Fuentes - 2nd Jarrid Lopez - 3rd Zach Longacre AM Push Race: 1st Ben Anderson - 2nd Benjamin Scholl - 3rd Josh Wood PRO Push Race: 1st Rob Wheeler - 2nd Jarrid Lopez - 3rd Bullet
