The crowd continues to grow every year at IGSA and similar downhill events. Longboard events such as Maryhill Festival of Speed provide an exscuse for natives, as well as foreigners, to come together to expand the community and strengthen the foundation of the sport. At the rate it's growing, there will be an opportunity for downhill skateboarding to become a widely accepted and legalized activity...BUT it will take each and every person involved to make that happen.
