2026 King of the Hill Series #2

From Cultural Capital by Chris Macias:

The kind of trick-based skateboarding you see at X Games gets the most play in pop culture. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find a thriving circuit of races dedicated to downhill and slalom styles as well. Check out these adrenaline-fueled antics at 2026 King of the Hill Series #2, held this weekend on a hilly stretch of Town Center Boulevard in El Dorado Hills.

Saturday is dedicated to hybrid slalom, a course with both wide and tight column spacing that’s a guaranteed slam without expert board control. Sunday features tight slalom, where some skaters can hit speeds of 30 mph and faster.
