In May, 2009, Skatehorde.com team rider Jackson Shapiera toured Canada for the 2nd time racing Danger Bay, Jakes Rash and the Gold rush. In the mean time he was able to do quite a bit of freeriding. This video is of Jackson and Orangatang team rider Louis Piloni riding mt Seymour during.

Beat the Bastard was held in Townsville, QLD Australia. It was the first Free Ride event ever to be held in Australia, and was also the first Gravity event to be a charity. They were raising money to beat the bastard, prostate cancer.
The event also included the 2nd round of the Cone Head Cup, and was a gnarly SuperG course that was around 60km/h and through hectic bends.
It was truly an epic event. DVD coming soon…

Jackson Shapiera is a team Hopkin rider from the Northern Beaches in Sydney, Australia. He has been competing for 2 years and is ready to take out the number one position on the world cup. Along the way he has picked up sponsors such as Rayne Longboards, Orangatang Wheels and Kooky speed trucks and is showing the rest of the world that Australian longboarders are a dominating force to be reckoned with.

Every Sunday, skaters from around Sydney (and further) gather to shred the local hills on the northern beaches. Every week is a new adventure as they find more and more terrain to thrash. Here is a small taste of what the sunday sessions is all about.
