The annual race in Mesa de las Tablas, Arteaga is the largest Mexican gravity sports festival and is known through the world as one of the best technical downhill skateboarding race tracks in the world. The rider were all stoked on the track and the amount of runs on the this longer track. Starting at an elevation of 9000 ft the track winds down a steep mountain road before ending right in the centre of Mesa de las Tablas, a tiny town high in the mountains above the big city of Monterrey.
