"Back in 2002 when I started the Summer Gravity Camps, we were the first week-long freeride MTB camp in the world. Our first year we saw just thirty-five campers.

You will have the opportunity to ride with past and present World Cup and National DH champions, Slopestyle winners and featured athletes with segments in the most recognized MTB movies. But most importantly our ...

Juneau, Alaska 10 of us came to Juneau Alaska for a heli ski trip. We had a 3-week weather window and finally when a high-pressure system starting moving in we got on the plane from Tahoe and headed to AK. The 1st day we spent at Eagle crest Resort....what a rad little place! It was snowing so the visibility was low but you could tell that there was some epic, rowdy terrain only a short hike away. There were barely any locals so every run was fresh, untracked powder. Day 2 was spent beating up our livers in the town ...

Last week was a bit hectic at the training base on Lanzarote, with the arrival of the boat building team from Kista, Sweden and a deadline set to put Ericsson3 into the water, a whole lot of leap frogging and double timing has been going on. The rig was stepped while the boat was still on shore. The shore and boat build teams worked pretty much around the clock to achieve this goal. The effort payed off and the deadlines were met, with the boat touching the water late last week. The team has just completed a trial pullover test ...

Monday the 7th of January started off like any other day. I got the call from Todd that the turns were bomber off the back side of Proctor Mountain. So we packed our gear and left. The Avalanche bulletin for that day was considerable in the tree line, and we knew the dangers with the 'deep slab instability' within the snow pack. So the game plan was to play in the mellow trees beside the turns from the skiers the day before. After a 10 km drive we loaded the sled and ripped up the valley another 15 km to ...

We're working to build a position of strength," says assistant shore manager, Anthony "Spillers" Spillebeen. "We have a strong international presence and more of the Nordic crew will arrive later." In terms of apportioning sailing time, there is a strict rotation to ensure that each crew member has plenty of opportunity to learn the boat and show his abilities on the water. "There's lots of experience in this group, which comes to good use as they know how to hatch good ideas and test theories of what works best." For the present, the team will train more locally to test ...
