Previously posted on FB but i figure i'll give it a shot, So last year a child was almost merced because ppl bomb the left side of young instead of being part of the group. I know that you pretend this is broadwaybomb but seriously why copy? are we not our own unique event? can we not be better role models? do we really need people to get hurt because of uncommon sense of being safe (ish). so you think this year we could stay on the proper side of the road instead of almost causing inccindents that may otherwise make the event even more approachable by newcommers?
Lets be a better example to the city and show them our event is fun and safe.

Lets be a better example to the city and show them our event is fun and safe. That requires a leader, someone taking point with lots of backup. Since joker left none have really stepped up to that responsibility

Lets be a better example to the city and show them our event is fun and safe. That requires a leader, someone taking point with lots of backup. Since joker left none have really stepped up to that responsibility We have clearly state every year that this is not a race. If you are a beginner they start from the bottom of the hill. So please know your skill level. follow that announcement we make ever year. Sometimes people miss this!! So please pass the word. If you want to help with new crowd please skate with that pack!! WE always need more ogs to help with new comers. If you want to help with that please contact me. People have always gone down the wrong side of the street. Even when joker ran it, even when ben ran, and so on ... If you don't believe me I have 12 years of photos to prove it. THE REAL DIFFENCE IS .. we have over a thousand people who come out every year now. People are really stupid in giant groups. It was a lot easier to control the crowd when board meeting when it was a lot smaller. People want to avoid the falling people so they go into the other lain. They also get scared and go into the other lain. This is why we all sit at the top. We need more people to help step up and make people sit down and calm down at the intro. Hopefully they all stay in the lane We have been putting a lot of work into board meeting the last couple years to make this a safer event. Some things that was never in place before. Cops do block off on coming traffic, so cars wont be jetting out. So the safety risk are still very low. NOT saying its a good idea to go in the other lain but its not as bad as you think. We even have a real med team in place over the last two years so if something bad does happen. Someone is there for you. If even had volunteers on bikes help move people to the side. (if you know people who want to help please contact us especially if they dont skate and just want to help) We need everyone to step up. If you been to Board Meeting before you need to be that voice in the crowd. If you see someone not listening then HEY YOU CAN STEP UP!! THIS IS ALL OF OUR EVENT!! Helping each other out is the best way to have a happy board meeting. So hit me up at theskateinvasion@gmail.com or here on olf. We are working really hard to make board meeting better every year. - Nuss

Last year I went to the top of St Clair for the start and didn't even see a sit down. So if it did happen a good chunk of the group didn't take part in it. Next year we all need to take a deep breath, slow down and enjoy every ounce of this one-day-a-year event!!
