Philippine Longboarding Spot: Real Quezon

1km of asphalt, 10 turns, and a top speed (give or take) of 70kph, this is the Philippine longboarding destination nestled in Real Quezon.Set in the highlands of Quezon, this course has proven itself as a must go spot for any longboarder looking for a smooth asphalt hill to shred. As the Philippines does not have that many asphalt roads suitable for speedboarding competitions, this course is a godsend for the local downhill scene.

Last February, Ang Kilusan held a race lovingly called Captain Planet Camp. The event featured not just downhill speedboarding, but surfing, skimboarding, poi, and a yoga class as well. Though not the fastest or the most technical course in the current downhill course roster, it made up for the memories that it left those who were lucky enough to be there.

Below are reactions of individuals who participated in the said event.


With all the buzz surrounding the event, how was the experience for you in general?

How was the course all in all? What did you like/hate about it?


Adi Wright: The course was awesome lot's of turn's , but only if the road's are nicely pave cause there's a few pot hole's and IF the course is long like 2km or more , it would be more exciting.

If the DPWH flipped and gave you the power to do whatever you want with that stretch of road, what would you add to it?
