I know this issue gets hit on a ton, but yeah... anyways... I know all the camps are great, but for a true beginner that can't ride rails for crap and can only throw 180's and awkward homo looking 3's where would be my best bet to go? Dave Murray's? I need good instruction, so I think COC is outta the question. Where do I go to get more information, dates, and prices and such.

Go to High North. They have beginner terrain that will help you learn the basics. The camper to coach ratios are great for one-on-one stuff and chances are you won't be the only one that wants to learn how to throw solid threes and learn to slide rails. Last summer there were a lot of newschool-beginners that seemed to learn a ton. You can go at your own pace and it's a very relaxed atmosphere.




it's all very exciting.

I live in CO.. so empire doesn't look like it'd be a inconvience to get to since it is in WY.

Does High North have a website?

I'd like to beable to ride rails without fearing for the family jewels...Throw 3's nicely, 5's, 7's, and backs. I think grabs and style can be worked in on my own time. But...does that seem unreasonable for a week at camp?
-Any personal experiences similar to my story?

SMS was freakin awesome, they have some more beginner stuff, like a dedicated learning table top that its almost impossible to get hurt on and they start you with rails that are flat on the ground and build once you get the technique down and the coaches are great escpecially douglas hes an amazing coach and great guy. and also whistler is a blast in the summer

i think you will always have to worry about the family jewels on a rail

Farp is gods gift to man.




I'm so big
you'd have to jump and swing up
just to hit me in the knees....

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town
Like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's just like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Yeah well I think that was taken wrong... I think empire is gonna be my choice... its so close that I won't have to worry about airfare and all that... when should I think about signing up generally? Does it fill pretty quick?

Givehead- yeah man, ur stupid if u dont go to empire considering where u live..... and the kid about the rails, they had some nice rails last year, like JibRemix said.... that tetor totter was nasty (TGR shit) and this year they are building a bunch more tech rails to beginner rails. The jumps are perfect for any skill level, u can just work your way up... all stars camp had a park too, so both parks are used by both camps... ummm, sick quarter pipe.. this year is going to go off.... go to empire for sure
