Well its that time of year where everyone is getting stoked on going to all the camps out west or to ride down under. As for me, its another summer chillin at the ramps in Placid. I know there are many others that dont have the opportunity to get out west and shred either becuase they are too broke, bad timing, or a thousand other reasons. So this thread is dedicated to the other guys who are holding it down in thier respective ares to a summer of ice rink snow and turf. Cheers!
 
i'm going to race camp at hood, my parents wouldn't pay for me to go to windells or anything but i wanted to ski so they're paying for me to go to race camp because they think it's for an overall better cause, don't ask
 
For one thing, it snowed at my house this morning.

For another, I will be working at a backcountry chalet from the end of June to Sept, and at last check, there was 20 ft of snow around the main building. That was a week ago, and the high country just go pounded, so there should be more. So it looks like I will be skiing all summer.

 
I'm not going to (fill in the blank), Im staying right here in Lake George and enjoying the water!

 
race camp loks boring as hell, no offense i can imagine youd rather be on the park side of hood, maybe they'll let you get a few laps in
 
I'll rep the UK crew, stuck here with nothing to do... (except for the brits who live close to indoor snow, gtfo)
 
i would love to go to camp but my knee wont be good til prolly august. But I am going to the water ramps in lake placid in sept/oct so im stoked for that
 
wow you should totally just go poach the praks.

as for me, another summer up at my camp on lake superior outside of thunderbay ontario. my friend has 2 12ft double barrel rails tho and were planning on hookin it up with a sick setup. he got some orange fence from his ski hill and im bringing up some carpet.

expect vids!
 
almost went to HOOD. but stayed in Utah. we will still be skiing here for along time. I plan on skiing wolverine until atleast july. theres like 50 feet of snow back there still.

snowbird is still kickin too. Utah summer ain't too bad. last summer my knee was blown so I'm stoked.

so cheers to all you non-kewl summer camp kids. yay for us. hit me up utah folks.
 
I was all pumped for NZ

Then I had to have surgery on my pelvis.

Now I am not going, and I lost £680 on flights... $330NZ on accommodation and £50 on visas.

A kick in the balls or what.

I am not a happy camper right now.

But I now have a lovely camera to picture capture the not so lovely England with.
 
Thats unlucky man, Bit Ironic with your username and all.

Too expensive for me to fly out to US/Canada for a camp this year, Hopfully next year
 
was planning on bouncing around the northwest this summer but broke my back in mammoth a couple months ago so thats out the window. im gonna spend teh rest of july in boulder then head up to alaska to catch some fish. not a bad alternative as far as im concerned.
 
ski season has just started in australia so ill hit that up in a few weeks. a trip to nz is on the cards though
 
no skiing for me this summer. i found found out my hill canecaled buck off which was a season pass sale with a rail jam. surfing will have to do
 
it sucks i basically live in lake placid and im to broke with no time with work and everything to even go to the ramps more then once or twice...and my only bet is if i win one of the contests on here
 
I wish i could afford it.

but at least skibum, you have water ramps.

wtf is there to do in southern Ontario?

well i guess i can get a job so that i can go to summer camp next year. lol
