downhill festival coming up

Great news for longboarders, slalom, slide and jammers. The Yarra Ranges Downhill Festival is on again. Held at the Baynes Park Rerserve in Monbulk using Baynes Park Road as the course, it's a great chance to skateboard legally and show off your skills.

Everyone's welcome to attend the all day, all age, drug and alcohol free event to race or watch as riders reach speeds of up to 75kmh, all competing to win skate gear.

Musical entertainment will be provided by local bands and DJ's on the Yarra Ranges Youth Services stage who will also be providing a free BBQ. There will also be a mini market with clothing and skate gear.
