I am really looking to progress a lot at camp, i don't really care about the night life like curfews and shit so is this a good camp to learn a lot at. This is directed towards people who have been before.

well i didn't really learn that much when i went. i learned to hit pipe good, do rails, and *chough*a 360*cough*. but then again i only went water ramping once and didn't have coaches 2 days, due to insurance.

i sucked really bad (even worse than now) when i went. this year i plan on learning a lot though. misty, cork, shit like that.

so as long as you got some coaches and are determined you can learn a lot? and do the coaches like actually teach you how to do the trick or is it like 'just try it.'

they tell you the CORRECT way to throw yourself and then i's up to you to try it, then they tell you what you're doing right/wrong

kick ass, i'm not that good, I can only do smooth spins up to 540. I can do pretty much any ski trick on my tramp, i'm gonna go water ramping as much as possible when i'm there. Then i'll try it on snow. session 2.

surprising as it may be water ramps suck for spins...the only way i found to learn those is by tramps then just huckin it...camp is sick and you'll learn as much as you want to...definately worth going but if it's like other years it may already be full

water ramps suck for spining. unless its corked or flat or something. ask the people at the ramps to let you hit one of the bigger ramps(2nd smallest one) that jump is sooo fucking pimp.




if your not cheating your not trying

hey in there brochure it says that you will get your parents called and immeditaley sent home if you are caught with drugs and if you are caught with alcohol and you are underage you get your parents called...then they decide what to do with you....is this true? has anybody ever actually gotten kicked out and sent home?

dude they mainly say that shit in the brochure and the site so your parents see it and are comfortasble sending you there, especially for the littler kids...
my roomates got caught blazing in the room and the counseller was just like you guys are idiots and had a little chat with them...
What the hell were they doing with a car on the moon?... havent they gone far enough?

simple, if they catch u they make u do work for them or sometimes say they didnt see it, and atkinson didnt do a backflip to dspin he did a lay full, aka backflip to backflip 360 (backfull) he used to be an aerialist, and thats why when he landed he said, i still got it in me,

yea i know he was aerialist. but when he came up one of the coaches, i think turpin, said 'dude, i think you jsut did a backflip to d-spin, then i think shane was like 'yea, that's definately what it was' and then atkinson goes 'really?'......yea, it was funny

I got your answer for ya...just dont blaze up for one week! God damn its not like your gonna fucking die from not taking a hit, in fact Im quite sure its probably more healthy not too...Christ allmighty if its that important to ya just use your camp money for weed...sell the weed and make huge $ then start your own fucking camp with that $ so u can smoke there and ski crappy.

man, fuck you dood. i don't give a fuck what you think of my stories. i'm just trying to help him out with his questions. and as a matter of fact, i didn't drink while i was out there. i did smoke up quite a few times though. i didn't really talk to any of the older guy, so nobody was there to buy anything
