Central Mass Skate Festival

04/22/2022

The other day, I found this note under my windshield after wrapping up some errands. I thought I had a parking ticket… but was pleasantly surprised by this note! Thank you, kind stranger. I’m so glad you and your homies had such a great time attending CenMass over the years.
It’s so nice to see and hear this kind of feedback, to reminisce and to feel like Mike Girard] made a lasting impact for people. I will never forget the memories, challenges, triumphs, connections and friendships made over the years - I hope the same is true for many others. I’ll try to post some throwbacks more frequently, plus of course any “ in the wild” type stuff like this on the Mike Girard] account.

Web hosting for https://skatecentralMA.com ends soon. It's not cheap to renew. Should Emgee Events keep it alive, pivot the site to different content, or let it fade away?
The CenMass site was always a convenient place to organize all the key details for the next upcoming event, but is it sufficiently valuable as an archive to merit the funds? Your feedback is welcome.

[EDIT: Owner Located]
Hey there family - You may or may not have heard, but LLC is moving up to Portland Maine tomorrow. This means it is time to part ways with lots of gear. Sadly someone left behind this complete setup and full face helmet at , and we do not plan on moving with it. If it is yours, or you know whose it is, please reach out. Otherwise we will be leaving it outside as a fun free scavenger hunt, with clues.
Central Mass 11 would be happening this weekend; what a difference a year makes!

If Central Mass 11 were a thing, the slide jam would be 3 weeks away. But alas, was in 2019. Good thing, too - This year’s event would have been cancelled due to the pandemic, so that’s a small silver lining.
