First off we would like to thank everyone involved in years past for their sponsorship and support. Companies like Gravity , Pro-Tec, Six Six One, Transition, Skatebarn , and Mongoose, have made it possible for us to build and grow this event to become one of the biggest DJ/Park events in the US. We would like to give special thanks to Matt VanEnkevort and Max Ralph at Gravity Components for their enormous commitment to “TheGathering” 2006 and 2007.

With the closing of the Wide Open Sports Arena (Dirt Arena) there have been many obstacles for us to overcome this year. Venue is one of the key issues for holding any indoor comp in Washington State, especially in the month of January. After looking into numerous options, we feel that none of these facilities fit our requirements. “The Gathering” is a world class event and we intend to present it that way every time we put it on. We also have a responsibility to our sponsors and riders to raise the level from years past.

With that being said, as of now “The Gathering” 2007 is not going to happen on January 26th & 27th. It is possible that we will hold it closer to Sea Otter but that is still tentative. With the added stress of opening our storefront and online store , we felt we could not put 100% of our efforts towards “The Gathering”. We really look forward to “The Gathering” 2008.

We would also like to thank all of the riders that have come out over the last 2 years, the volunteers who have helped out, the spectators out there, and of course the media.

Keep posted to G.H.Y. Headquarters for upcoming events and other cool stuff to come.
