photos, gossip and up-to-the minute rumours
Well well well, where to start?
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.
It's BBQ
time!

care of business to pay for trucks, sleds and sandwiches for next year.
Myles is off in the interior of BC treeplanting. Haha poor kid...

Patrick just got some metal taken out of his ankle so he's layed up for a
few weeks reading gardening and landscaping books.
Matt, Joe and Morgan have been tubing down the river in wetsuits.
Last Shred On Forbidden
The season's have finally changed and it's been real hot lately on the
Island. Everyone's in summer mode getting their bikes, hawaiian t-shirts and
skates out. The snow on the mountain has been melting fast so we thought we
better take advantage of it and ripped up Forbidden for one last
shred.
 As you can
see, not too much snow at the bottom of the hill.

Mt.Washed has closed for the season even
though there's still 400cms of snow up there so we've taken to the sleds lots
more lately.

The weather's been amazing
here on the Island, we rode deep powder twice this last week! We also found
ourselves a nice road gap on our travels in the backcountry.

sold his sled so who knows what he'll bring to tow people around for the last
camp. Maybe a tractor? You never know.
Bonus Camp April 19, 20! With all the
snow we had to throw one more session. Register at Onethirtythree board shop in
Courtenay (250) 897-1907, online or call anytime to secure your spot and
get your last shred in for the season.
Pick a
camp, any camp... No wait, there's only one left!  Bye
bye.
The first two JumpCamp's rocked!
Mother nature was a real doll and gave us some killer
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 of the site.
New JumpCamp whip: a
quad.
Fresh pow in March?
Yep, you got it. We've had some sweet days up the hill lately. With the amount
of snow still on Forbidden we're going to be shreddin' into the
summertime!
march 17 no lie
eh.

Yummies and Gyros
rule! They sponsor the camps and man are their gyro's good. I guess
that's why it's called Yummies and Gyros. Go get yourself a delicious gyro or
donair next time you're in Courtenay. Thanks to Katherine and the gals for
hooking up the campers and coaches with those delicious beef and lamb delights.
JumpCamp Jam a hit!
We shralped the park, barbequed some nice dogs, jibbed our brains out and
then guess what? We shralped some more! That's right. Our broski Paul Henderson
even came out to hang for the jam. We're gonna do another one mid April so stay
tuned for the date.
Prizes! Our
sponsors are the best!

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!!
Saturday March 15 is a one day
shred clinic with 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.
Ride the private
JumpCamp terrain park with the Island's best riders. See what one day of riding
at JumpCamp can do for you!
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
Saturday March 15 from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm on Forbidden Plateau and the cost
is $100 ( including taxes ). Helmets are mandatory and riders under 18 need a
parent or guardian to sign a waiver. Registration takes place at Onethirtythree
board shop in Courtenay, by phoning Patrick at (250) 898-8891, online at
www.jumpcamp.com or up Forbidden Plateau from 9:00 - 9:30am on Saturday morning.

19+, no
minors
This just in: Forbidden has over 400cms mid mountain!! Possibly the most
snow anywhere on the planet.
Well, all the JumpCamp coaches are just psyched this year with all the
powder dumping down so far. We've been on some killer trips to Mount Cain as
well as a few sick trips into the backcountry snowmobiling. The snow's been so
darn deep that we've only yanked our sleds out a few times so far. Coach Javan
Wyker has been taking full advantage of this year's conditions. He's planning on
having another kid so he's got to get all the shreddin' in he can this year
before he's on double diaper duty. Check out the Javdog launching the "Ole" drop
on Forbidden.
My main man Curtis at Edge Performance has rebuilt my sled after I ran it
out of oil last year. Smart move, I know. Go see Curtis if you need any sled
work done, he's the best.
New Coach Myles Delange has been
shralpin' it hard this season. Here's a pic of him launching one of our cabins
up on Forbidden. We've got so much snow that we're riding the roofs! Check out
Myles' new bio on the coaches page of the website. Welcome to the family Myles,
now you can never get out.

YoYoYo!
Well, the camps are all over for another season. What a killer year!
Thanks to all the coaches and sponsors for making this year such a
success. We love you guys.
The
JumpCamp wrap-up party was killer. Thanks to DJ Souls and Klink & Polish for rockin' all night!
Coach Matt Brown has lost his cell phone again. This will be his
352nd phone he's lost and the folks down at Roger's are really loving
him right now.
In sad JumpCamp news, our pal of 13 years passed away last week. We
will all miss him greatly and remember the fun times with our furry
bro. Goodbye buddy.

Our bro Jeremy Koreski www.jeremykoreski.com
has landed the gig of senior photographer for Canada's new surf
magazine: SBC Surf. The new surf mag is full of mind-blowing
photography from both coasts so go out and grab the premiere issue on
newsstands now and see Jer's killer pics for yourself!
Road Trips
We've been going to Mount Arrowsmith lots lately. It's like
Forbidden's little brother and we love shredding and bbqing up there.
The only thing about Arrowsmith is that the local whiskey jack's are
real territorial and are constantly divebombing us and trying to snatch
our food. One flew into my mouth when I was eating last trip, no lie.
Also on that trip Brian broke his board and Ole got caught in a nice
size avalanche. Ole was alright since he's very experienced in the
backcountry but it still shook him up pretty good. "Whoowee!", he had
to say after swimming out of the snow. Avalanches are serious, even in
the spring time so be careful and keep an eye on each other out there.
The critics have spoken: "This Was Your Life"delivers!
Nathaniel
Vossen's painfully long awaited film: "This Was Your Life" is finally
done and he premiered it on Thursday in Vic and Friday in Van and let
me tell ya', the parties were awsome! Tons of people came out of the
woodwork for both nights and we got to pal around with some old buds we
haven't seen for a long time. Make sure to
go
see Jaydee at Onethirtythree in Courtenay or wherever your local
skate/snowboard shop is and reserve yourself a copy of this magical
film.

JumpCamp breaking news, current events, the latest headlines, news photos, analysis & opinion on top stories, world, business, politics and general shred dogging!
Jib Jam-boree a hit!
 The inaugural JumpCamp Jib Jam-boree rocked! Competitors came from far and wide with one thing in mind; JumpCamp Glory! We're talkin' spin-in, spin-out tricks on our brand new ledge ( thanks for the ledge Jim! ), frontside to backside slides on the rainbow rail and some crazy buttering of the muffin on the JumpCamp roof step-up, built especially for the comp. Other highlights include eating burgers and hot dogs in the rain. Thanks to all the sponsors and shreds for coming out! We're going to have another contest before the end of the season so check the website for dates.
Coach Matt Brown considers shaving his long locks after seeing Britney Spears' new do. "I think I'd look good with a buzz-cut", Brown said before press time.
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 daily.
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
Nathaniel Vossen's long awaited movie "This Was Your Life" is finally done.
No, for real, I'm not kidding this time 'round! You gotta believe me... C'mon dude, I'm serious. Nathaniel's been in production of this skateboard/snowboard/lifestyle movie for 12 years so you know the finished product is going to be amazing. He's told me that April is when he's going to be having all the premier parties for it around the Island and the Lower Mainland. Keep posted for premier dates, you don't wanna miss this!
Our bros at Onethirtythree have got a new website up! You can check out their team,skate/snowboard pics, spots, vids and sales going on at the shop. Pretty cool. Check it out at www.onethirtythree.com
CONCRETE - THE SKATE PARK ISSUE March 2007 Remember the mag Concrete Powder? Well, now it's just Concrete 'cause it's all skateboarding, no shred-doggin'. Anyways, the new Concrete No Powder has a killer article about Courtenay and some rad pics in the skateparks around here. Our good buddy Sascha Daley has a bunch of wicked pics in there |
