DCESK8 2023 Season Opener


Details
ALERT: We are moving the event up 1 hour in order to avoid possible rain beginning at 5pm. The event begins at 11AM now.
Come Join The Largest Electric Skateboarding Event in Washington DC! This 2-day event will be an incredible start to the summer riding season!
On Saturday, May 20th, we will be hosting group rides all day. These are open to all types of PEVs and riders of all experience levels. Our meetup will take place at Union Station, at the Freedom Bell at noon. The first ride will depart at 1pm. Our last ride of the day will finish near Union Station, therefore it is best to park near the station or use public transportation. Our tentative schedule for Saturday:
11:00AM: Meet at Union Station
12:00PM: The Backfire Group Ride, sponsored by Backfire Boards.
2:30PM: The Defiant Group Ride, sponsored by Defiant Board Society.
7:00PM (weather dependent) : The Shredlights Group Ride, sponsored by Shredlights.
We have grown so large, there will no longer be a central charging location like we have had in the past. Instead, we will be sharing a list of PEV friendly locations to charge at in DC between rides. Groups should attempt to limit themselves to no more than 10 people at any given venue.
On Sunday, May 21st, we will be setting up a small track at Jones Point Park in Alexandria, VA to demo boards and practice track riding skills.
This track and demo day is sponsored by Hoyt St. Skateboards.
Safety is the most important thing during any track day. Helmets are required to ride on the track, while full-face helmets and additional safety gear are strongly encouraged. The track will be limited to electric skateboards and electric unicycles only. We don't want anyone getting seriously injured at this event. Due to the size of this venue, there will not be races as part of this event.
We want to thank Beyond Riders for being our Safety sponsor for the entire Season Opener weekend.
