ABOUT
Hog Hill
​
Hog Hill Events happen 3 times a year and are a fantastic opportunity to ride with a huge cross-section of the UK longboard scene: from beginners and those looking to learn through to seasoned racers dusting off the cobwebs and catching up with friends.
Skate your style - freeride, race, slide, dance, slalom. or just chill out and watch other people do the hard work. Come along to the campsite in the evening and chill out with the other skaters in a great atmosphere - when we're at Lambourne end, expect a camp fire and some live music as well!
Freeride continues through racing on Sunday afternoon, so you can choose to test your mettle and get some more pack riding experience before hitting up the European freerides and races, or just enjoy jamming down the hill with your mates.
Helmets are mandatory while skating (including commuting around and flatland jam!) Helmets and gloves while sliding and skating the main hill, and Full Faces Mandatory for racing (we recommend kneepads) . We take safety seriously, as does our insurers (legal requirement) so we're well covered as lang as you guys keep your lids on! If you fall on a different part (a bit without pads) then St John's Ambulance will be there to patch you up.
