Right now La Lomota DH is the only big race we have in the Dominican Republic, on 2014 we are going to celebrate the second edition of this gnarly race which is held in Navarrete, a small town in the North Coast, my good friend Cesar Pucheu is working hard to make this event a time to remember!
Last year we had more than 40 people racing in the three divisions: Groms, Womens and Open. This is one of the most challenging tracks we have, it has 19 curves and a top speed that reaches around 47 miles per hour.
The date is set and everybody is wondering who is going to be the King of the Hill!
I made a selection of my favorite photos from last year, shot by my homegirls Catherine Goico and Gabriela Sobrino! Peep it, get motivated and COME SKATE WITH US!
Having the road closed made me skate with a lot more confidence than ever before! I had those turns on LOCK!
Here’s my homegirl Cathy Kat who shared podium with me, taking the second place for the ladies! Hell yea girl !
Arline Barrot never went so fast before! She was really excited to experience new speeds and to take home the 3rd place!
My brotha from anotha motha Miguel Cabreja knows right! He slashed his Jet Banshee with 50 Degrees Caliber Trucks and some 75mm Lime BigZigs!
Things got really rowdy with the unexpected rain, but that ain’t stopping us! We have a race!
Jomar Guzman is a TOP racer from Puerto Rico, i bet you’ve heard about him before, the guy is FAST! We are happy to receive his support and to have his presence in every race we have in the DR
This year we are also having the campsite ready !
The ladies came from around the coast to shoot some pics all weekend!
My good friend Jeremy Dils followed me down the hill filming a Raw Run (Raw Diaz on YouTube) the morning before the race started, the road was still open but it was really rad.
Taking those inside lines like it’s my job!
