Game Of Skate this weekend

presented by Jeremy, i mean Head Board shop



(insert overly amazingly awesome flyer here)


HBS Game of skate April 18th 11am registration 12 pm start 3 bucks to enter at the head board shop

RULES
Once the board leaves it wheels, it must land on all four wheels, with both feet on the board. No rail landings, manual landings, caspers, 50-50s(the old freestyle trick) or cross-legged landings. No hands on board. No hands on the ground, before or after trick.

On offense (when it's your trick) the trick must be landed completely clean. No toe-drag, the skater must be moving, with both feet solid on the board. Basically, the skater must ride away cleanly.

On defense (when doing the other guy's trick) there is leeway for landings. This will be up to the skaters and the scorekeepers, but it is truly objective: either the trick was landed properly or not.

Quantity Day 2009



Head Board Shop presents....Quantity Day 2009

Quantity Day is a day of skateboarding and hanging out with friends, old and new. The skate bus leaves Head Board Shop at 10am and follows the park schedule below.

The Skate Bus is 10 dollars which pretty much pays for gas and rental. The bus is going to be off the hook with skate vids (bring some if you want) and a good time (it is the Bar11 party bus). If you don't get on the bus just meet up and follow the bus from any of the stops.
We at headboard are trying to bring the skaters of Pittsburgh together to have a good time. We want to make this an annual thing so lets kick this one off right come out and enjoy the day. Prizes and Give aways all day. Also we will be doing a poker run type thing you throw down at each stop get a card person with the highest hand at the end of the day will receive a grand prize.

a little back story...
