ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

$10,000.00 First Prize and you don't even have to Ollie... but you do need a solid pump. The first event, in Florida, was won by Jeff Vyain on a top-mount dialed in for pumping like a slalom deck. So, not slalom, but could you use a ten grand reason to cross-train?

If you want to win $10,000 get ready to be the toughest skater around, push to win big... 26.2 miles on a longboard is the ultimate challenge... It truly pays to win the Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon. Mini Ramp Contests available as well during the day. Good Luck!!

Prizes: Cool giveaways and awards to top three of every Age Group.

Prize Money for Open/Pro: 1st Place: $10,000.00; 2nd Place: $5,000.00; 3rd Place: $2,500.00

Additional Information: 6 hour time limit to complete the 26.2 mile race. Race starts and ends at Qualcomm Stadium on March 12th, 2011. 13 and Under and Beginners, race the mini Marathon, only 2.6 miles. Age Groups are divided by genders except for Open/Pro: 14-18 19-24 25-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+

Add a giant skateboarding trade show, open to the public, along with food, live music and more... you've got a skateboarding festival..

Whoever's organizing these things is doing a great job. Whatever it is they're doing, I hope we can learn from it.

Changes to the event pending this week, FYI.
