Who remembers? 6 years ago, @emilylongboards placed second at #CentralMass4 Women’s DH behind @amandapowellwebber. Since then, she has been 5x #IDFracing Women’s World Champion and was #5 in the world last year in IDF Open division. It’s been amazing to watch the trajectory of skaters over the lifespan of CenMass, and Emily’s has been nothing short of spectacular. This year at #CentralMass10 she won the whole damn thing, showing the boys how to really fly with her first-ever #SkateCentralMa Open DH Championship. (Does this mean it’s harder to win #CenMass than to be a top-10-world-rank IDF racer!?) Thanks for your longtime involvement and support of @centralmassskatefestival and @emgeeevents, Emily. Now let’s see you on the @idfracing World Champ podium next year! 📷1: @originalskateboards 📷2,4,5,6: @khaleeqovision 📷3: @maxdubler #CenMassArchives #EmgeeEvents #TheCendoff #DublerPhoto PS can we talk about how amazing the hotshorts topless dads processional to #TheCendoff DH party podium was?

Hey there #CenMass family - You may or may not have heard, but @EmgeeEvents 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 @MadridSkateboards setup and @RideTSG full face helmet at #TheCendoff, 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! #SkateCentralMa #EmgeeEvents (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSTh0np55t/?igshid=1oag35y48b11j

Man, what a month and a half it’s been. Turned 30 in isolation. Signed a lease to move to Portland, Maine with my love, @bonuslife. Watched an exciting civil rights movement develop before our eyes and continue gaining momentum. Protested alongside thousands. Tested negative for COVID-19. Breathed a deep sigh of relief as my dad recovered from Babesiosis and my uncle beat COVID-19. Celebrated Father’s Day as a family. Continued growing my ‘Rona beard and our veggie garden with equal gusto. Sold and delivered the last of the @CentralMassSkateFestival ramps to @ThuroShop and helped move Gabe to his new location. Sold the last of the #CenMass merch and donated the proceeds to bail funds. Ran a half marathon. Received a PPP loan. Biked a lot. Called animal rescue for an abandoned box full of baby raccoons that Kyle spotted off trail. Watched the stock market detach entirely from reality. Got hernia surgery. Debated bigots on Facebook. Continued to navigate and digest the pandemic. Participated in my first digital global sales meeting for @mammut_swiss1862. And currently trying to figure out how to do my job well when all the trade shows are canceled and travel is restricted. As harmful as the current situation has been for the lives and livelihoods of millions, it has been an exciting opportunity for societal and personal growth. There’s a long road ahead and forward progress isn’t guaranteed. There’s no way to know how this will all play out, but engaged and deliberate activism feels mandatory - fighting for black lives, democracy, human rights and science. And trying to have fun and the way, relish the sweeter moments, from the trivial to the triumphant, and appreciate the beauty of Boston while our time in beloved Charlestown draws to a close.

It’s still hard to believe that @centralmassskatefestival is over forever, but I am so thankful to have a beautiful video commemorating the origins, history and priceless personalities of the event [link in bio]. Thank you @mattfrazer_ for eternalizing @centralmassskatefestival in a way that showcases the core family values of #SkateCentralMa and the @emgeeevents team. I’m proud of what we’ve built over the past decade, and although I have never regretted the decision to pull the plug on #CenMass, it sure does pull the emotional heartstrings to hear my parents and dear friends share how the festival has impacted them. These interviews were a surprise, which I only learned about upon my first viewing of the final video. Much like my dad, I often feel like my life is metered by CenMass intervals, and as #CriticalMass longtime co-MVP @underdogartisan explains, the 10-year roller coaster ride has been incredible.

#CentralMass10 Dad Caps have landed! They look awesome and are super comfy unstructured brushed cotton with two-tone embroidered #SkateCentralMa + #EmgeeEvents logos, in army green & khaki colorways. @emgeeevents only produced 48 of each, and once they’re gone - they’re gone! DM if you want one 🙌🏼🔥 #TheCendoff #CenMass #CenMerch (at Central Mass Skate Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0YiOHrh9VH/?igshid=1ujyhvu9ygesj

#TheCendoff is a special celebration, so we had to make sure to especially celebrate the victors and attendees at #CentralMass10. As opposed to only making medals for the biggest categories, @emgeeevents invested heavily to produce trophy metals for all 30 podium finishers, including the new Women’s Mini Ramp Jam, as well as a stack of 20 commemorative attendee medals. If you would like one of the latter (photo 3), DM @centralmassskatefestival - 8/20 are already claimed. Thank you to the sponsors for their support! #EmgeeEvents #SkateCentralMa #CenMass #CenMids #M4L #centralmass9 photo by @khaleeqovision (at Central Mass Skate Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WzxsLJVOC/?igshid=xx32bjq737y3
