Imagination gave way to planning and by our next visit a real sandboard park was born. It
only seems fitting that Sand Master Park would launch at the turn of the millennium and claim
the title as the worlds first. Many publicists are already calling 'sandboarding' the extreme sport
for the 3rd millennium and in the year 2000 has sunk its foundation in Florence. 'SMP' and Dune
Riders International along with Sandboard Magazine, the Venomous Sandboard team and many
talented local pilots as well congregated at Deacon and Hilary's new park to demonstrate what
sandboarding was all about.

Oregonians Tyler Reid, Keith Consiglio and Brandon Smoldt were on hand to show why Oregon sandboarders are worth watching. World speed record holder, Nancy Sutton, was also present to carve some Oregon dune with her mates. Efforts didn't stop there though, on no, Honeyman Park got a good dose of sandboard extremes as well. Many new ones young and not so young got their first look at sandboarding and their first try too!

The real impact came the following day at the SMP itself. After a night of flaming rail slides by Josh Tenge, Alex King and Pete Pilcic, extreme jumps and world record cliff jumps were enough to boggle the mind. Local, Keith Consiglio was the first to jump the SMP cliff and after four full out attempts broke the world record set by Peruvian, Marco Malaga, just last year of 21 feet. Keith landed a 21.3 footer and rode it to the bowl! At 15 years of age Keith set a new juniors record and a new world record, but that wouldn't last long. With in the hour Alex King and Josh Tenge would land jumps of 23.6 - 28.3 - 31.2 - 33.6 - 34.4 - 37.6 and finally a 38.3 foot jump by two time NSL champion, Josh Tenge ended the efforts for a whopping new world record cliff jump for Dune Riders International officials. It was impressive!

 We can't wait to get back to Sand Master Park this May18th & 19th for our second year
of sandboarding thrills.

Just imagine if you too were there with us boarding at the world first sandboard park and having
the time of your life.  Yes, I can see it now...
