Check out the live webcast tomorrow and sunday from the IGSA event held in The Calgary Olympic Park. This event is unique in that it is held at an Olympic Venue and is lift access, which if you’ve ever been in the back of a u-haul with 40 other sweaty guys, chair lift is the way to go! Keep an eye out for Predator Team Rider Douglas “Dalua” Silva, his strong push start will be a big help for this race.
A month ago in Whistler, British Columbia a unique longboard race was held on the service road to the Olympic Luge track made for the 2010 Games in Vancouver. Put on by Unkle.ca the event was a huge success and upped the level of technicality for future races.
Last weekend marked Predator’s first time attending a downhill skateboard race and we couldn’t have picked a better race to check out then the legendary Attack of Danger 10. Team Riders Jackson Shaperia and Dave Price were in attendance along with most of the top riders from across Canada and the States. Predator had our booth set up next to the infamous carnage where we had tons of good feedback from riders and lots of interested customers. Luckily, the weather held all day and Canadian Kevin Reimer once again proved he is unstoppable, winning his 2nd Danger Bay, one of only two riders to achieve such a feat. Jacko ended up taking 2nd place behind Kevin, the first time an Australian rider has gotten on the podium at Danger Bay. Local ripper and world champion Scoot Smith won the consi-finals and placed 5th with his new DH6. Quite a few DH6 lids were spotted on the podium of the 14 and under division and we are stoked to see the groms getting their heads into a Predator helmet.
