For the past 5 years the Colorado Shred Symposium has been one of the
largest
US Freestyle events, and this year will be no different. Freestylers
everywhere are encouraged to attend this epic event.
This years location will be the same as last years. St. Cajetan's Church,
on
the Auraria Campus, is at the center of three colleges and is a 5 minute
walk
from Beautiful Downtown Denver. Promotions for the event are in the works
and we are aiming for record attendance.
Stay tuned for more regarding registration, prize money, and host hotel.
Information will be up in the coming weeks.

After looking into it, they had a much better Party Venue for us. We have rented out the
Back Bar Room for our personal use. It has open space for those who want to shred, pool
tables, video games, TV's and our own bartender. Everyone of every age is allowed in no
matter what time it is. It's bound to be a much more relaxed and fun time.
See you all there.
