Slide Jam today "Thanefest"

The First Annual "Thanefest" went down today in Ashburn and it was great. For a first time event there plenty of good riders out there and the weather was perfect. Just a bunch of good people getting together and hard charging this rad street. The day wouldn't have felt complete if there wasn't a great wreck though.
So leave it to Alpine's own Nick Ketner to hard charge the hill on his pool board. Speed wobbles and oncoming cars on a steep hill don't mix. And there was a nice belly slide on some pavement. But he's used to it and we hope for a speedy recovery. All in all it was a great day and we look forward to seeing and helping out with more of these in the future!
