Water Ramp Camp

In July 2010, my brother, my friend Thomas and myself did a water ramping camp for 3 days in Whistler, BC.The camp was coached by Joe Schuster, who is a professional skier. He brought a few of his pro skier friends to help out. Not many people knew about the camp so to our surprise when we got there we were the only kids participating. This was great because the coach to camper ration was 1:1. Here's a video of the three days we spent water ramping.

This was the first time I'd ever done something like this. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. The Way it works is the part you ski on is a bunch of hard plastic bristles that you spray with water to make them slippery. The reason that bubbles are coming up from the pool is to break up the surface of the water so the impact isn't as bad because when you go of the biggest jump, your going about seven meters in the air. There are also trampolines in the beside the pool so you can practice your tricks before you take them to the ramps.
