Yeah. . . so. . . day 2 of Central Mass 7 was Fire-ing!!! This year’s race & freeride saw more skaters ripping the hill than any of the previous 6 years of the event, and although it rained a few times during the day, it was chill, and kinda actually made things a bit better via raising the sketch-o-meter ever so slightly. Anyway, many busloads of skaters where taken from the bottom of the hill to the top, and the day’s stoke was clearly visible in all the smiles and grins seen from starting line to the finish. Twas a good day for downhill skateboarding fun!

Anyway, the homie Khaleeq captured it all with his magical camera doohickey. Please enjoy our recap stuffs.
