I know there's Vancouver Freestyle but I don't really want to do moguls
I mean I know it sounds cocky and all but I just don't like moguls

is there like a park/big mountain/newschool club or whatever in Vancouver?
if so can you give me details like price, schedule etc.?

thanks!

not sure about that.

You know that freestyle is also pipe and big air right? You dont have to compete in mogul.

I dontknow anything about the vancouver club,, but I have lots of friends who are on freestyle teams that only compete in pipe.

I'd say contact the vancouver club tell them what you want to do, and maybe they'll be able to help you.

There's a club called ACC they are a group that goes around climbing mountains and skiing them. It's really cool I saw a video of what they do in the banff mountain film festival. Here's a link

If you end up making it to UBC check out the Varsity Extreme Team, exactly what you're looking for but unfortunatly it's only for UBC students

Going to be a varsity club/team attatched to the UBC Ski and Board Club. Focusing on skiing and snowboarding, we'll have coaches for all types of riding, means to set up connections between riders, filmers,a nd photogs, and even subsidies for contest entry fees and travel.

Dropping 09/10...

The varasity team sounds sick but its a bit ahead for me I'm in gr. 10

I think I'm going to join Van. Freestyle, it sounds really fun, its cheaper than I thought and it'd give me something to do while all my friends are playing hockey.

thanks guys, and I'll join the UBC thing for sure if I end up going there
hah I'm actually typing this in the UBC bookstore
