"Participants were told to gather at Montgomery and Vallejo streets. 'Bring boards, and your people,' the flyer says. 'Respect the ride. Respect the city.'"
"Unlike the unsanctioned hill-bomb events of yesteryear, which usually happened in early July and which led to some nasty interactions with police in recent years, this year's event 'drew more police officers than participants.'"
"One of the organizers, Deonta Harper, told ABC 7, 'Want everybody to come out and enjoy themselves. Whether you fall, slide out, or ride down the hill and make it, you're gonna have the thrill of being together as a community.'"
The Frisco Hill Bomb took place on Montgomery Street, organized by On Everything I Love. Participants were encouraged to gather with their skateboards. Unlike previous unsanctioned events, this one had a significant police presence. Organizers expressed hopes for better cooperation with city officials in the future. The event aimed to foster community spirit, despite not being officially permitted. Past hill-bomb events faced police crackdowns due to safety concerns following serious injuries and fatalities in previous years.
