sports June 11-13: Ray Barbee, Omar Hassan, Tommy Guerrero and John Cardiel at the Harmony Festival
Posted by Gabe Meline on Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Though this weekend’s Harmony Festival won’t feature the gigantic MegaRamp from last year, it will have four bona fide legends of skateboarding at the street course: Ray Barbee, Omar Hassan, Tommy Guerrero and John Cardiel. Cardiel, in particular, is an inspiring innovator with a sad story: a famously death-defying skater whose sheer balls helped him land many a seemingly impossible trick, he was severely injured when a friend accidentally ran over him. His career and eventual recovery are chronicled in the amazing documentary Epicly Later’d: John Cardiel (it’s on Netflix Instant Watch, yo), and his still-able body will be at the mini ramp and car-jump street course, riding, DJ-ing and judging with Barbee, Hassan and Guerrero—and you, if you bring your board!—on Friday and Sunday, June 11–13, at the Harmony Festival at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. 1350 Bennett Valley Road, Santa Rosa. 2–10pm Friday; 10am–10pm Saturday and Sunday. Free with $30–$35 admission. 707.721.7515.

Posted by admin on Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 10:59 AM
While Santa Rosa recovers from Levi’s GranFondo, Marin hails its two-wheeled heroes this weekend with Biketoberfest 2009, a bike expo with beer, a vintage bike show, beer, frame builders, beer, pizza and paella, beer, live music from Honeydust, Sons of the Pacific and the Philip Der Stein Quintet, beer, and custom designers and bike riders galore. A morning ride with mountain bike pioneers Otis Guy and Charlie Kelly opens registration at 9:15am, and other rides and bike-related activities culminate in a five-year anniversary party of Iron Springs Brewery, right next door. It’s all happening on Saturday, Oct. 10, at the FairAnselm Plaza parking lot. 765 Center Blvd., Fairfax. 11am–6pm. $20–$25. 415.453.4333.Gabe Meline

sports April 18: Sonoma County Roller Derby at Cal Skate
Posted by admin on Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Grab yer hot dog, grab yer beer, but don’cha stand too close to the wall! The girls of the Sonoma County Roller Derby could very well come crashing off the rink, tumbling booty shorts-over-helmet, at any given time when the racing gets rough. That’s right, it’s roller derby time again, and the very first home game of the season gets underway this weekend with the Wine Country Homewreckers vs. the Santa Cruz Roller Girls. For just the price of a few containers of Tiger Balm muscle rub, the thrill of witnessing Injury Anna Jones clobber Foxee Firestorm or cheering on Rosie Road Rash as she outskates Cleopatra Catastrophe can be yours ringside at the unforgiving hard oval floor of the rink. It’s thrills, chills and spills galore—with a full bar!—on Saturday, April 18, at Cal Skate, 6100 Commerce Blvd., Rohnert Park. 8:30pm. $10-$15. 707.584.2890.
