"FESTIVAL DE LA BAJADA" Longboard festival

The Longboard is a furfing variant of a skateboard, similar to snowboarding and surfing in the streets. The sport surged in California in the 1950s. It was introduced in Colombia about 15 years ago and now is one popular sport in the city´s downtown.
On October 16 and 17th the most important longboarding competition in Colombia was held in Bogota in the National park over 100 competitors around the world came to be part of the downhill festival.

There were 2 competitions : Downhill competition ( 1st: Juliano Cassemiro BRA ; 2nd Kyle Martin CAN 3rd Felipe Malaga PER) and Sliding competition (1stJuliano Cassemiro BRS ;2 Ramón Dra Gregorio VEN;3 Julián Camilo López COL) Some of my friends like Camilo Cespedes , Carlos Junko,  and manuel Rivera participated in the event in representation of Colombia.

I went the 2 days of competition and had a lot of fun with my friends and watching the competitors of  a sport i personally like so much, I hope to be able to participate in the next year festival it would be a great experience
