Capitola Classic pushed back until Spring 2012

Sorry we had to push back again. We are all too busy and my main help Marcus Rietema President-International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) has a new baby coming and the downhill events are filling up in 2 hours with 170 riders. The interest and sport is growing which is a good thing but we can't do it all so this has to wait. Working on this new Official Guide for 2012

The Capitola Classic was a skateboarding event that received international attention and brought lots of excitement and energy to the Capitola village back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Capitola Classic was well known in skating circles for its annual downhill race, which was a head-to-head speed competition that drew top names in the sport, many local as well as international, including Santa Cruz, California local John Hutson, who held the world speed record for skateboarding at 53.45 mph and dominated the event each year.
