RVOD!
In honor of Ryan Vanderveen, we want to bring awareness to depression and other mental health issues that someone you know, if not yourself, is suffering from. You are not alone and do not be afraid to seek help where ever you can. You may know someone, maybe someone very close, who took their own life this last year and we would like very much to prevent that from happening again. RVOD! (Ryan Vanderveen or Die!)
University of Maryhill
The Ratz and Skate School of Santa Fe are pleased to bring back The University of Maryhill, Class of 2022. Headmaster Joe and his world class coaching staff will be returning for the weekend, with on-course coaching for all skill levels of skateboarding and streetluge. Day 1 Meeting for Students will be Friday 9/2 at 3pm. Then will continue for Day 2 and 3 on Saturday and Sunday.
Less experienced riders will have a chance to learn the skills they’ll need them to ride the Loops road from the top by the end of the weekend. High speed safety skills make the difference between falling and crashing. Learn 3 ways to slow down and 4 ways to stop at speed, how to identify different types of turns, cornering techniques and the relationship between hand sliding and wheel sliding.
Advanced riders will be learning start techniques, power pushing, the tactics of drafting, passing, cornering and advancing. Learn about how king pin angles, bushing and wheels sizes, shapes and duros can increase performance. Riders will also be given individualized ‘Homework’ to help them continue to improve and encouraged to set goals for racing.
The University of Maryhill is an additional $107.00 USD, ($100 plus $7 in local sales tax), to the G-Ride fee and you’ll get a University of Maryhill T-Shirt!
