Held earlier in July, the Festival of Speed downhill longboard skateboard race was featured in a New York Times story and video.

This annual event draws 200 of the wold's best racers who view Maryhill's Loops Road as a particularly thrilling ride. Riders hurtle down the 2-mile 'spaghetti strand' road with plenty of speed, tight turns and steep grades. Log into the New York Times website to read more about this event and to view the action.

The first macadam asphalt-paved road in the Pacific Northwest, Sam Hill constructed the Loops Road on the south slope of the Columbia Hills to connect the Columbia River community of Maryhill with roads leading to Goldendale, an elevation change of about 1,000 feet.
