Alright, this summer I whent to lake placid through Freestyle America. $ 660 for a week. Fucking amazing deal. However, they only offer one week long camps. Is there a way I can stay at placid for 2 weeks without being part of a camp? How would that work as far as coaching + price + hotel + ramp time goes, if its even possible?

You can contact the the pool and buy a ramping pass and a coaches ticket to train with the local coach (not the best, but is okay I guess). I dont know the number off the top of my head, but u can probably find it easily enough with teh interweb or something.

Which session did u go to with freestyle america? Was it the onw when all of the mount snow kids went?

well dude, what i do is pay the day fee which is 55 dollars for the pool and a coach then i camp so i can afford it. after food though its still quite expensive. i would recomend staying at the otc, its much cheaper and freestyle america has good coaches. ive been to that camp

Ya, he is back in lake placid for a week or two (he is attending two weddings I think) and he has been hanging out at the ramps while he is here.

If you don't go with a camp it is 30 for the coaching fee and 15 for the pool fee for a full day, half day is of course cheeper, also if you aren't a member of USASA or USSA then that is like 50 for a membership, you get to ramp 2 times in the days and tramps 2 times, but it is deff more pricy to go not in a camp, that doesn't even include hotel and stuff, plus you have to talk to Eric to see if he is willing to take you into his group
