Spooky Shred - October 28
Spooky Shred Event Poster |
The presenters, Bombora Boards and the Skate Invaders, are organizing “a super special day full of awesome skating fun. There will be mini games for the gromlets and a Tunnel of Doom courtesy of Bombora boards. Mini games will include bobbing for wheels, slide and toss, and many more.”
The provisional schedule says that mini games will start at 5, the costume contest at 6, and the race after dark. And the organizers have tons of prizes to give away...
This is what the push looked like last year:

It’s my understanding that folks are meeting at Runnymede station around 4:45 and skating up to the Jane Paths. In costume, of course!

Saturday features a twilight waterfront cruise, followed by a pre-race party at Club 54 (the somewhat notorious T.O. Skate House). Sunday is race day at Canoe Landing Park, incorporating a friendly slalom race and then a Toonie race. Then there’s a BBQ!
Female skaters of ALL skill levels (including beginners and novices) are invited.
Did I mention there are fabulous prizes?!
Incidentally -- supportive guys are more than welcome; just keep in mind that this particular event is focused on our distaff friends...
Here’s my writeup of last year’s get-together:
