The Boston Street Battle this year is on November 14th. As a cold street contest this event marks the end of 2009 and comfortable street skating weather and the Beginning of indoor winter skatepark sessions in New England.
This year it’s less of a marathon style contest and more of a spot battle, this way if you don’t like a certain spot then you don’t have to skate it. Who ever destroys a spot the most will win stuff at that spot. You can win as many spots as you like and whoever wins the most spots is the champion. Prizes for the top 3 at each spot as well as best trick(s) a “grom” 17 and under award a old man 30+ award and other give a-ways where deserved.
The meeting spot and warm up session is 10:00AM at:
Hyde Park Skate Park.
1 Reservation Road
Hyde Park, Massachusetts 02136
we need to start earlier this year cause it gets dark early in the fall.
$13 if you pre-register online before November 6th. $20 if you register the day of.

There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that there were too few street contests over the summer of 2009 to allow for a “circuit” of events. The good news is that the World Rolling Series will be including both park and street contests for the summer of 2010.
Skate the Hate was successful once again in 2009. We had a great turn out and after a few days of rain we got very lucky with the rain stopping and the sun coming out in the morning just in time for the first heat. Full results and media from the comp is up at www.myspace.com/skatethehate
