Freestyle on the Potomac!

The Great Falls Foundation and Calleva River School are partnering to bring you a great summer of freestyle on the Potomac!

The Chute Outs are a Potomac River staple, hosted by Valley Mill Camp for many years. These events offer freestyle competitions throughout the summer. They are open to all, and every skill level. Low key, fun, friendly competitions where the participants do their best tricks in a sets of rides on whatever feature happens to be in at the river level for that day.

Points will be scored with a simplified scoring system. Competitors will be ranked by their best score of two rides, and will be asked to judge other classes.
