Petaluma, California – The IGSA is pleased to announce the 2011 IGSA NorAm Downhill Series. Five North American events will make up the inaugural season with races in Canada and the United States. Additional races may still be added. At season’s end, Champions will be crowned in Open Downhill Skateboarding, Women’s Downhill Skateboarding, Jr I & Jr II Downhill Skateboarding, Street Luge and Classic Luge.
IGSA President Marcus Rietema said, “With the growth and success of the IGSA World Cup Series, more and more events have expressed a desire to become a part of it. The demand for World Cups has exceeded what the IGSA can supply. With the launch of the NorAm Championship, more events can be part of a meaningful IGSA Championship. Competitors who may not have the resources to go after the World Cup Series Championship can now stay on the Continent and race for the NorAm Series title.”
