Bernal Heights Hill Soapbox Derby Shut Down By Police

There's a Reason It's Called "Illegal"

Yesterday’s Bernal Heights Hill Soapbox Derby 2008 was shut down by the San Francisco Police Department and the organizers ended up moving to another hill in San Francisco. Telstar Logistics has the full report with photos.

According to Telstar Logistics the organizers of the event have decided that in the future they will no longer be giving advance notice or information about the derby, making it a true underground event, something that is pretty rare these days.
