    2nd Annual Buffalo Bill Downhill Race - Hubs In Action with Butt Board ~ May 9th 2010

    2nd Annual Buffalo Bill Downhill Race

    Recently this past weekend 96 riders from around the world descended to the magical hills of…read moreColorado, to compete in the 2nd Annual Buffalo Bill Downhill Skateboard Race. Riders from as far as Australia to Vancouver, Canada and all across the US attended this TWO DAY MEGA Event, to test their skills on what is considered to be one of THE MOST Technical Roads in the US. Although Downhill skateboarding is illegal in the state of Colorado, (which is why the riders and racers would like the exact location of the event to remain secret for safety purposes). Thanks to Justin Dubois (Event Organizer & Downhill racer) and all the sponsors for the event, he was able to get the road closed for the 2 day event in order to keep the riders safe. These riders wear full leather suits, gloves and helmets to keep them safe as well as the 757 hay bales set-up in various corners to protect the riders from sliding off the treacherous mountain side as they slide, drift, and jockey for position at speeds of 40mph in the 4 man heats. In 2009, there are 46 racers. The race saw a dramatic increase registered racers to 96, putting Colorado on the map for one of the most sought after races in the US. This race has become one of three legally sanctioned race in the US with the hopes of many more to come in the future. Thanks to all the Volunteers, Sponsors and safety efforts of Justin Dubois, the race completed itself without any MAJOR injuries to any racers. Vancouver's Kevin Reimer taking first place, Local rider Zak Maytum taking 2nd (Zak was last years winner) and Colorado's Kyle Wester taking 3rd place. Along with the addition to Fuel TV taken part and filming, there were about 200 or more spectators over the 2 Day event, who watched and cheered these professional longboarders pushing the limits of the speed barrier on top of the Mountain. Above anything else, I enjoyed my time while Hubs taking his turn to volunteer and taking some time to do some runs on his Skateboard, Street Luge and Butt Board from that Gnarly Mountain. Cant wait to return for the 3rd Annual Event, Next Year!

Another thing was bib/ packet pick-up was easily to navigate. - Morning of race aka start line... corral and coordination was seamless - During race... I felt like I saw all the sightseeing highlights of Denver in a 26.2 mile viewpoint. There was plenty of hydration points every 2miles and felt like it was well organized. There was no confusion on where to turn and plenty of volunteers to help the navigation. - Post race... Food from finish to non re-entry of finish line was wonderful.

While running, several stations existed for water, Gatorade, energy bars, and energy shots. They also helped with directions during the splits from other race types. I never had to worry about getting water, help, etc. as they put on a great job, definitely a great thing when just focusing on running!

    This was my fourth Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon…read more Overall, I would say it was okay but I probably wouldn't rush back to do it again. Expo was nice but small compared to others (especially San Diego), but then again the race was smaller. They said around 15,000 people ran the full and the half. Volunteers were nice but I spoke to two people who tried to get info on the relay and were given conflicting information so probably need to work those issues out and make sure volunteers have the correct info. And this was at the information tent on race day! The course had some nice parts, especially running through City Park and Cheesman Park but boy, it's mostly uphill until you peak a little after mile 11. I don't know if it was the altitude or the hills but I had my worst time ever at this race. This was my seventh this year and around my 38th overall and this was a real challenge. The Jamba Juice at the end was great. I'd say overall the race was fairly well organized but I just wasn't a fan of the course. I had more fun in Savannah and San Antonio.

    The Rock & Roll 1/2 is a staple of the Denver running circuit. It is a great goal race if this is…read moreyour big race of the year, and it is timed nicely in front of some of the late-autumn out-of-town marathons if you are ramping up to the next level. Unfortunately Rock & Rock stopped hosting a full marathon as part of this event after 2015, but the 10k and 1/2 marathon are well run and consistent over the years. The cost is high but there are good deals if you sign up early. In their defense they do have higher costs as the course takes over much of downtown Denver and they have to pay for all of the police and security, plus all of the road closures. Expo - It is what you would expect from Rock & Roll - a big, busy opportunity to spend money. For this race, it is the reason why I rated the event 4 stars instead of 5. The pickup location at the Stock Show is hard to access (there is a ton of construction going on now, but it wasn't good before the construction started). The Stock Show venue is far from pretty much everything (including the race!), and lacks a whole lot of public transportation. They charge $5 to park. It isn't the nicest place in Denver, either. Pre-Race - The start/finish is at Civic Center Park, and there are lots of places to park (street parking is free on Sundays, too). There are some good hotels nearby, so people who want to make a weekend out of it can stay close by. You can upgrade to VIP status and gain access to the heated tents, food, and private porta-potties. I've never splurged on that, but the mornings in Denver in mid-October are usually cool and dark (the race is early), so come prepared one way or another. The Course - The current 1/2 course may be the best 1/2 course I've run in Denver. It is challenging but fair. The first 6 miles weave through downtown and lower downtown, past the Pepsi Center and Coors Field. The 10k runners split off at roughly the 6 mile point, and the 1/2 runners continue east to City Park. After a couple of miles around the park, the course travels back on the streets and then back to City Park. The last mile or so is slightly downhill, so if you pace yourself early you can gain some speed at the end. The entire 13.1 miles takes you through active neighborhoods, parks, and business districts, so there is lots to see and enjoy along the way. Post-Race - Well supported, with top-notch entertainment. Good support for runners and spectators. Overall - The best way to run this race is to sign up early (save $$$), have a good plan for the expo, and one of the better courses to see and experience running in Denver.

It uses the front lawn of the Highlands Masonic Temple at 3550 Federal Boulevard and in 2024 operated from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on June 8th (Sat) and 9th (Sun). The Temple's parking lot was full the two times I visited, but I was able to find street parking in the local neighborhood without too much trouble. I did have to walk a couple of blocks from my parking spots to the event. I found the show to have a lot of crafts and commercial vendors. The fine arts booths were limited. Publicity for the show was also limited. I'm on dozens of mailing lists for fine arts providers, but I only heard about the show because an artist I know invited me. The show was disorganized. Each vendor had been assiged a booth number, but those numbers were nowhere to be seen, so finding a specific booth was impossible. There was no show brochure. The complete list of vendors on the Web site was a PDF copy of a spreadsheet, listed in order of booth numbers. No Web site was shown for a large number of the exhibitors. The tents were not laid out in even rows and tents were mostly set up facing each other with far too narrow walkways between them. I did see some interesting artists, but this mostly seemed like a disorganized mess. The artists I spoke to said business was slow. There are now a lot of art shows and art festivals around town. This is a business and it is very competitive. These guys need to do better.

The walk wasn't too bad but in the snow, it was a mission. The stadium is very nice outside, you get to see some status .. Hall of Fame stuff, and broncos statue as well. Inside the stadium is nice, the seats are regular stadium seats so nothing special with it. If you're lucky to go to the Suite Level area or the Press Box then it's very nice there. The game was great until it started having the snow storm which likely affected the game outcome.
