HALLOWEEN RIP SATURDAY OCTOBER 27

Guys and Ghouls, this Saturday, October 27th, longboarders from all across the city will unite to shred the streets of Calgary. Slicing and dicing their way through the traffic of 17th ave, and 10th street and everything in between. Candy smashing the desperate pedestrians on the way! The only way to save yourself from this horror is to be the cause of it.

Come meet at Millennium skatepark at noon. There will be a brief meeting (with candy) and then we will flood the streets of Calgary in Critical Mass fashion. ****There will be prizes for best costumes****,

anyone not in costume will be used as a sacrificial offering to one lucky pagan god. If you can afford it please help by bringing candy to throw at people.

LONGBOARDS, SKATEBOARDS, MOUNTAIN BOARDS, DIRTSURFERS, and the odd bicycle if its cool are all welcome. I would say rollerblades but that could be trouble.... See you there!

4 DUDES SKATE ACROSS CANADA

Rob Lewis, Aaron Jackson, Carlos Koppen and Benjamin Jordan were chosen as the Calgary Stampede's 2007 Parade Marshals due to their insane longboard trek across Canada last summer. Their Push for the Cure campaign took them on a 5 month journey from Halifax to Vancouver. Not only did they raise money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, they continue to encourage all Canadians to get involved in anyway they can - large or small!
