Five years into it, we are up to seven events in three days!
Welcome to the Home of the Fifth Annual Cathlamet Downhill Corral Skateboard Festival
Presented by Rip City Skate
Friday August 23rd through Sunday the 25th, 2013
The Cathlamet Downhill Corral Festival is a three day event in the small but welcoming town of Cathlamet, Washington. Cathlamet is about 90 minutes NW of Portland Oregon, on the Columbia River.
Friday there will be a 7.5 mile push race on nearby Puget Island. Later in the day there will be a tight slalom and giant slalom . Saturday will be the Sidewalk Showdown followed by the four man skate boardercross event brought to us by The Maryhill Ratz. Sunday will be an exciting downhill race through town (ramps included). For those concerned about ramps in a downhill course, this year the ramps will have a smoother, longer transition and there will be a bypass provided on a slower line. This is a fully sanctioned race with closed streets, hay bales and shuttles. And lastly we’ll be capping off the weekend with a slide competition.
Here’s some highlights of what happened in 2011.
