Very cool way to hopefully expand Port to other audiences. Given how sports minded Adrian is with cycling and hiking no surprise. And great thinking out of the box

I've not heard of downhill skateboarding before, but I love the idea - good for Croft as the sponsor, good for Oporto / VNdG as another event and another group of visitors who might want to come to the city. This should certainly add to Porto's cool cachet.

I remember what a bid deal it was when the Red Bull air race was held over the Douro in Oporto. Perhaps in time this downhill can become a fixture on the Oporto events calendar. I'd love to go and see it one day.
