Alrighty y’all! here’s our third Wheelbase Weekly Wrap-up for the week of April 4-April 10, 2015!
We are at the Muir Skate warehouse as we type this getting ready for the Downhill Disco festivities to begin. The a mini-ramp session is already getting heated! Bricin “STRIKER” Lyons is in the house as well, so you know the Downhill Disco weekend is gonna go off!
Speaking of going-off, tonight Sector 9 is kicking things off at 7pm right here at Muir Skate with a Disco Dance Party featuring: skateboarding, beers, music, and friends.
Also, tomorrow night the Gullwing crew is throwing another Downhill Disco party right here at the Muir Skate warehouse (address below) and it’s all free. There will be a $200 winner-takes-all mini-ramp contest on Saturday night too, not to mention a free show by Chula Vista’s finest, Take Offense! As Gullwing says: “Bring the heat!”
Here’s where to bring that heat tonight and tomorrow night too:
