Yes, the JumpCamp season is officially over.
We had an amazing year with five wicked camp sessions and even had a bonus session at the end of April because of all the snow. Campers came from far and wide to progress their shred skills and strengthen their freeriding skills and man, did they. Everyone loved the new obstacles in the park and took full advantage of them. We even got snowed on during the bonus camp. Fresh powder in April?! I mean c'mon, fuggedaboudid! Keep an eye on the photos section of the site for the rest of this year's pics and footage. Thanks to everyone that shot photos during the camps.

The first two JumpCamp's rocked!
Mother nature was a real doll and gave us some good weather and the snow conditions were soft and slushy, perfect for jumping and freeriding. Campers were stoked on all the new features in the park and all the natural terrain on Forbidden that we sessioned. We even set up a cliff feature for some adventurous campers to launch. Campers really impressed me with their drive to learn new tricks and strengthen their riding. Tons of camper firsts went down over the course of the two sessions; First time grabs, spins, spins with grabs, inverted spins... It was insane! All the campers had a wicked time and really progressed their skills a lot. Thanks to all our sponsors and coaches for an amazing set of camps. Keep checking back for all the pics from the camps in the photo section.
See ya at the Jam this Saturday!

JumpCamp Jam Sat. March 15!
Well, the slushy, spring conditions are here and so is the second annual JumpCamp Jam. Go smash your piggy bank, check the couch cushions for change, beg your parents, pawn your t.v... Do whatever you gotta do cause this is a one day deal not to be missed!!
This one day shred clinic has got it all! Prizes for everyone, BBQ, Jumps, Tunes, Jibs and more! As coach Doug Hardy states, "if you think you are beyond the need for coaching , think again." With a low coach to camper ratio, you are guaranteed plenty of knowledge to improve your riding at the JumpCamp Jam.
Also one lucky shredder will win a free JumpCamp session of their choice in a raffle at the end of the jam. The Jam runs from 9:30am to 3:30pm Saturday March 15 on Forbidden so get on it.
See you there!!

Ni hao. Ni hao ma? We've got four articles coming out in China's only snowboard magazine; "Speed". Here's the first of four. It's all about the history of Forbidden Plateau and all the myths and legends that surround it, but you'll have to take my word for it if you don't know mandarin. Thanks a lot to our friend Ali Waugh for hooking us up. Xie xie.

Forbidden Plateau Snow Report
Well as you all know, we've been getting absolutely pounded with snow this holiday season. It's been insane and there's more in the forecast. Coach Joe Conley had this comment regarding the weather, "Ole sure picked a dumb time to go to Mexico!" Currently Forbidden has around 300cms which converts to 9.84251969 feet so come on up and enjoy this magical mountain. Check out Jav in action up there in the fresh stuff! Peace

Rail Showdown Downtown Vancouver Rocked!
The United Railtown Street Jam in Vancouver was a hit and JumpCamp was a proud sponsor of the event. Riders from all over BC and as far away as California came to ride a steep handrail with very little snow on the takeoff or landing in the middle of the summer. Can you believe it?
Karl, Myles and Niall were there shredding it up representing JumpCamp and Onethirtythree and hammered some nice tricks down the rail. Thanks to Bruce from United Riders and Ingmar Brink for putting on this cool event. Here's two movies from the Jam:

Road trips!!
We're been on a few road trips lately. At JumpCamp we really love holiday road.
We headed off to Las Vegas to hob-nob with the snowboard industry a little while ago. We rode around in limos, gambled and ate buffets.
Coach Javan Wyker, that lucky ass, is off to Revelstoke to test out all the new '08 Ski-Doo sleds. Hope he gets stuck lots! Haha...
Another beauty, was a road trip we did to see some pals in Nelson. It was -18, sunny and the powder was awesome! Our main man Marlin showed us around and shot pictures. Thanks Marl! Check out Gnarly Marly's website at www.marlinolynyk.com

Happy Holidays broskillets!
Well my friends, here at the JumpCamp headquarters things are wild and crazy! We're designing some new obstacles for the terrain park, getting new t-shirts and stickers pressed and of course shredding the killer powder we've been getting lately. I know it's tough...
)
We've got a new ad in the latest Snowboard Canada magazine too.
Our bros at SBC gave us real good placement in this issue, the mag opens up to our ad every time because it's right beside some cardboard book dealio. Thanks SBC for the support! Go pick it up while you're battling the holiday crowds at the mall!
