Are you following @emgeeevents, the #SkateCentralMa Founder and Organizer? If not - get to it, because despite #EmgeeEvents’ decision to conclude @centralmassskatefestival, there is a lot more skate and winter event action happening right here in the northeast! Up next: #PumpkinPieJam 🎃 10/27 right here in Boston with @thuroshop; you may recognize the flyer model in this picture 👀 After that: #TestFest, #PicoHiko, #GravityFest, #KillingtonWC and more! Follow @emgeeevents on IG & https://Facebook.com/emgeeevents so you don’t miss any of the action. @idfracing just uploaded Gravity Fest POV race heats, all of which are shared to the @emgeeevents FB, and Killington World Cup race heats are coming early next week. Don’t despair - the spirit of #TheCendoff lives on strong! 🏂: Jose Aparicio at #CentralMass10 📷: @khaleeqovision (at Central Mass Skate Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2W5cr1hkXa/?igshid=mtogzbtult5v

Sharing some #KillingtonWC Organizer B-Sides from mah phone. Shout-out to the incredible @emilylongboards for the 🥇🥉 double-podium, and to the #EmgeeEvents Staff & @killingtonmtn Events team for being the real MVPs. Praying for a re-paved racetrack so we can come back in 2020 🙏🏼 #IDFracing #Beast365 #KillingtonMtn #downhillskateboarding #thuroshop (at Killington Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIXnAZhN_t/?igshid=1m4olkeu6o5uu

The biggest treat of #GravityFest and #KillingtonWC was getting to take a bunch of runs. I’m very grateful that @_stevekong captured this moment. In addition to a few thousand pounds (literally) of @emgeeevents equipment, I remembered all my skate gear for Madison County... except my skate shoes. So here I am bombing past the boys in some ultralight (ultra not durable) running shoes. Fortunately @bonuslife brought my skate shoes up for #KillingtonWC, and I had zero crashes at either event... at least until @austin.pedroni blasted me from behind in Tetanus corner after refusing to pass me 🤣 😵💀 love you Austin, thanks for announcing, helping with cleanup and driving the box truck back to Manchester. It takes a village. #EmgeeEvents (at Munnsville, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJ0FZKgNlx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xws8wv23kt3k

Skertin’ Tetanus Corner at #KillingtonWC during post-quali freeride heats. With 2 practice and 4 times qualifying runs done before lunch, we had time for 10 freeride runs. Boo yah! This track is a pure kick in the adrenaline gland. 📸: @khaleeqovision @emgeeevents #EmgeeEvents #IDFracing #Beast365 #killingtonbeast (at Killington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMt6bGg6Vh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16brmffxhx7cv

Did you hear? The #CentralMass9 Video Editing contest finalists have been selected and are launching for public voting very soon, and the #CentralMass10 event page is live at bit.ly/centralmass10. Hard to believe we’re approaching the decade mark, and will be celebrating in grand fashion at this 10th and final iteration much like @junker_eric after his long-sought race win. Pardon the radio silence - @emgeeevents has been buried running #GravityFest and #KillingtonWC @idfracing events, which plan to continue well into the future after #SkateCentralMa has wound down. Perfect places to continue honing your skills! 📸: @khaleeqovision #EmgeeEvents (at Central Mass Skate Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMbJG5AUEg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yjpvj4dsx11d

Hard to believe these spots were just full of hay bales, ramps, riders, spectators and staffers. And now it’s back to quiet old Harvard. Thankful to have such a beautiful, welcoming host community through 9 years. Already looking forward to next year, but first it’s time to ferry everything important / #gravityfest & #killingtonwc @emgeeevents-related back to Boston. #CentralMass9 #skatecentralma #emgeeevents (at Harvard, Massachusetts)

Some tasty new candy from @orangatangwheels has arrived! I haven’t been this excited for new wheels in a long, long time. Thank you Otang, @loadedboards and @kylechin for so many years of support! Can’t wait to rip these juicy 77a blue limited edition #Caguamas and #Kegels at #GravityFest and #KillingtonWC. 💦 🍬 🍒 #OrangatangWheels #Orangatang #OrangatangCaguama #OrangatangKegel (at Town of Harvard, Massachusetts)

6 years ago, @the_papa_les interviewed me for a "Day Jobs" feature in @skateslate. I anticipated a small feature tucked within the print mag. Lo and behold, my good friend @maxdubler (a phenomenal photographer & industry mainstay) surprised me with this cover. It was a surreal moment and an honor for which I'm still incredibly grateful. There are lots of elements to the photo - some obvious, like the @midsvan #M4L & @pushculture patches, #MidsLids helmet and OG Midsboy @eastcoastmac chasing me down in his vintage M5; some subtle, like the left sleeve of my leathers bulging from my wrist brace and KT tape, with a G-Form padded slide puck backer / extender. (I had purchased a Push Culture Season Pass and raced all year with a broken scaphoid, before finally getting surgery). In terms of @emgeeevents context, I was only hosting 2 events, neither of which were IDF-sanctioned: #CentralMass6, the biggest-ever @centralmassskatefestival with $5,000 prize purse and over 400 competitors; and the ill-fated #BurkeFreeride. (Good riddance to Ary Quiros Jr. & Sr.; they’re finally facing prison time btw.) Soon after, I would take the reins of both #KillingtonWC and #GravityFest, building out a 3-event series and season pass product of my own. Thanks to Marc Dean and Neil “DrNo” Orta for entrusting me to carry the torch and build upon their organizing efforts. Fortunately, what the photo *doesn't* show is that I had missed the apex and taken a sub-optimal outside line, while filming with longtime @orangatangwheels teammate @colinmartian. With the longboard industry going through a pretty serious resurgence, it’s fun to reminisce on the years past and think about where things will go from here. I’m happy to remain entrenched in the industry after all these years, through all its ups and downs. I remain true to the closing words in my interview: “My experience is local shops are the backbone of skating… behind each shop is an owner who spends hard-earned money to invest in brands, support the scene and hopefully break even. People run shops because they love skateboarding and their community. Support your local shop!” Action 📸s: Max Dubler, Killington and Burke VT, 2015 (at Killington Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CShpJuCpy_2/?utm_medium=tumblr

#KillingtonWC registration is officially live on the @idfracing website! Bitlink: http://bit.ly/killingtonWCreg. Still very grateful for this @skateslate cover in 2015, featuring a #dublerphoto in Tetanus corner, sliding to shed speed after the 65+mph Super Straight with @eastcoastmac follow filming. In addition to the World Cup race, there is a Freeride Fri+Sat (same reg link). Pumped for this! #EmgeeEvents (at Killington, Vermont)

On Sept 8-10, #EmgeeEvents will be proudly presenting the #KillingtonWC IDF World Cup. @superharo made a beautiful flyer and I'm proud to share the final artwork here 🔥🙌🏼 Who's ready to tame the beast? (at Killington, Vermont)

[emgeemann]

It was an honor to present this medal to @gomeslessa, symbolizing not only his second consecutive #KillingtonWC Open win, but also back-to-back #IDFracing Open World Champion status. Thiago - your talent, consistency, dedication, intensity, but also great positive attitude and outlook are all greatly admired and appreciated. Thank you for pushing our sport miles ahead into the future. I look forward to continuing to witness your dominance, it’s always a pleasure having you at my @emgeeevents. Thank you for the support. #BrazilianStorm #EmgeeEvents 📸: @khaleeqovision (at Killington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoPM7nuAr7E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p8oju9mdvsok

Thrilled to end the @emgeeevents year and @idfracing NorAm Continental championship on a strong note at #KillingtonWC. Endlessly grateful to the dear friends who came together, worked hard and skated fast on this adrenaline-pumping track. Thank you @killingtonmtn for being awesome. Just like that, it’s full-time snowboard sales rep season. But first... plenty to unload, organize and store.. til next year, downhill family! #EmgeeEvents #IDFracing 📸: myself and Alex Corriveau (at Killington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoILCZRAiOX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pls17tvbeqak

Tahoe for 28 hours was a treat. To say I enjoyed my first time wake surfing would be an understatement! Thank you Grant for the incredible experience on the Charcoal Sparkle, and to @nidecker_northamerica squad for getting us together and hyped for the winter season ahead with @jonessnowboards, @nowbindings and @yes_snowboards. Now... time to get back east into @emgeeevents mode and run #GravityFest and #KillingtonWC! #jonessnowboards #nowbindings #yessnowboards (at Hurricane Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnl0H5Fgpgz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rhcuw4yvw3x
