About
Giants Head Freeride is a downhill longboard event situated in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. This years event takes place on August 4th, 5th and 6th 2012 (BC Day long weekend) at Giant’s Head Park in Summerland BC. We are anticipating 100 riders for this epic three day freeride which will also host a head to head race on Monday afternoon.
Past events enticed riders from as far away as Hawaii, Texas and California and this years event will be no different. We will be offering the same unique course features as last year like the banked wall, short cut, and launch ramp.
The course consists of 13 expert level hairpin corners and 700 vertical feet of drop, which sends riders through 2.1 km of intense riding. The event is like non other in North America – come be apart of the fun!
Hey my name is kyle and im from cali me and my friends want to see if we could skate giant’s head. I was wondering is it an invitation only? or is it like teams or sponsors? Sadly, im not well informed so if you could let me know that would be great.
Hey, Kyle. Giant’s Head Freeride is an event open for everyone. We will be announcing our registration date soon, so please keep checking back. Keep in mind, Giant’s Head is an advanced hill. You should be comfortable stopping at high speeds on a narrow path, in the presence of other riders. I will be putting up the course information in the next couple days, as well as some videos. These should give you a better idea of what it’s all about. If you have any more quesitons, let me know. Hope to see you this summer!
