Hard enough to imagine hurtling down a paved hill at 70 km/hr in the summer. But Riley Richters, a high school student from Vancouver Island (above) and friends were here on Salt Spring on the weekend doing just that. In the winter, through the sand and salt, while the snow was coming down and their helmets were fogging up…
Not satisfied with the scary “Slasher” run on Juniper, they visited several other Salt Spring hills to hone their winter downhill longboard skills. At least I guess that’s what they were doing.
The “Slasher Downhill Longboard Race”, now in it’s 3rd year at Juniper Road, takes place on August 13 and 14.
