SF’s Skateboarder Annual “Hill Bomb” at Dolores Park

Skateboarders speed down Dolores hill in San Francisco for the annual “hill bomb”

Typically on a random early evening in early July, skateboarders take to the Dolores hill next to Dolores Park and fly down at breakneck speed (almost literally).

When is the 2025 Dolores Park Hillbomb?

We don’t know yet! But often it’s around the first or second Saturday in July (possibly the afternoon of July 5, 2025 around 6pm or 7pm), but it could be any date, and it may not happen at all. It’s all very hush hush since it’s kind of illegal (and really f*cking dangerous). Check reddit, check tiktok. Check @baysick.com – We’ll keep you posted if we hear.

If you go this year, just know that people are crazy and spectators can get run over by bikes (and by cars) and if you decide to bomb the hill, wear a goddamn helmet, but even that may not help save you (yes, people have died bombing the hill). Also, be alert and aware; in 2023, over 100 people were arrested at the Hillbomb event.

The 2024 “Hill Bomb” took place Saturday, July 6, 2024 despite the city and police aiming to cancel the event after the 2023 mass arrest incident.

San Francisco photographer Dre Anderson (@drephotography11 / website) has captured some of the most epic photos and drone shots of the annual event. Including one video where a guy is bombing down Dolores and another guy runs up and clotheslines him in the middle of his run. Insane.
