Str8, I think I came off way too harsh there. I feel like a dumbass for putting all that up, I should be emailing you.
That was pretty damn selfish on my part.
I am sorry for that rash crap, maybe I should delete my posts.
I edited them for a little less assholeness. Maybe I need to step away for a while.
And this one time at Maggot Camp."

OK, if you think you might be interested in attending a camp, e-mail me and let me know your preferred date. That way I can keep everyone in the loop.

I don't want to advertise this on my Website since it is a Maggot thing, so I figure direct contact is the best bet. Contacting me will not be considered reserving your spot, it's just to keep the ball rolling.
I already have a Utah trip planned for Dec 10-12 - so those dates will fit perfect - sweet.
jan. 7,8,9 is excellent. before that, there's no way i could come. others?
and i'd be interested in jamie's session a great deal. i'm of the opinion he's got a head on his shoulders it's just hard to percieve in media. there's a reason he's alive. but my interest in drops largely depends on the skills others will be teaching.
human factor in risk/decision making is THE skill i would love to discuss, debate, learn about the most along with viddy/coaching. i spend a lot of time on risk management, personally, and i think it's why i'm still in one piece.
also, speed management, not just turns, but pretty signicant speed stuff like the article in a mag or whatever it was last year or two years ago, that someone did on i believe a photo sequence of you. they were drawing attention to a skid technique to scrub off some hi speed just before a launch. little known techniques like that are gold to
me.
oh, and will there be a steez/bling session? I'd really like to work on my style. how good are your instructors pouts? do you guys wear camo onepieces a la jon olsson? preferably in pink, thanks. feel free to contact me on these and other important style issues.
:biggrin:
I'm in w/ elevens for dec 10-12th. if conditions permit, i think im going to be in europe during the 7-9 timeframe.. returning right about then, but without enough time to get out to utah unfortunately.
January would be as perfect as perfect can get.
No work, no school until Monday.
Hmmm... new skis or new skills?
I'm thinking skill and avalanche knowledge will keep my ass alive so I can live to enjoy skis.
This is awesome, Gordy, you're a good man for coming up with this.
P.S., Mr. SCA would be an awesome coach, they all would. Straightlining like Nobis is fun, but has almost gotten me in trouble at resorts.
Thanks, dude.
I'll get you the money soon.
I keep reading the thread title as "Thinking about doing a camp Maggot."
Am I gay?
Not unless you've ever had your picture taken with a big fat sausage... :biggrin:Quote:

I'm in for '05/'06 gordy you are the freaking man, i'm thinking there are gonna be some epic stoke this year
If Buster's in, I'm in.
Gordy,
That is so pimp of you! I would love to do that, I could put myself in the maybe catagory because I'm not 100% sure, but if I were to do your camp, it would be in early January. If not this year, you have me next year without a doubt.
Todd
Very intersted, I'll email you tommorow.
I mean I'm very interested (having one computer is a pain).
Actually, now I'm 100% sure....Quote:

OK, Thirteen people have E-mailed me expressing interest. That's cool.
The only problem is there are 8 so far that would like to do it in January(7,8,9) and 5 that would like to do it in December (10,11,12). I'm gonna have to promote it some more to make it viable since I would like to see at least 15 to make it happen from a financial standpoint.
Maybe I'll ask Owens to put it at the top of the posts for a while.
12/10-11-12 nicht zer gut for me.
1/7-8-9 is a possibility. Can I lag behind to take lots of breaks?
Herr Highmen, lag behind and take lots of breaks? Das ist nicht zer gut! Bist du eine girlie man?!Quote:

All the others mussen zer schnell schi-laufen!
I’m interested. Any opposition to having a pinhead in your camp? I can ski The Wall at Pine Knob and Hemlock at Boyne Mountain without falling.

Actually, yeah, no problem Greydon. Shoot me an E-mail so I can put you on the preliminary list.
gordy100@msn.com
I think you should compromise and do it dec 22-26. Please?
Email sent. [/really adding a lot to this thread]
email sent!
I am in for the January dates. I will be in JH with my bro during that time so it will be very easy to swing down for a few days to do the camp! Thanks fo the oportunity.
Gordy do we get a T shirt :wink:
you got an email
Wow! This is going to be fun. Maggots will have the inaugural two(maybe) Straightline Adventures camps.
The January 7, 8, 9 camp is almost full(24 people), according to E-mails from those interested. This camp is a definite go.
I'm going to reply to those who sent me an E-mail with directions on how to register for the camp.
The December 10, 11, 12 camp has about 10 people interested so far and might happen as well. I'll keep those of you who are interested in this camp informed. We'll try to have a decision by Monday.
Once again, my E-mail address is gordy100@msn.com

Please do, I would love to give you my money. :)Quote:

For those interested in going in december.
Snowbird has deals for room and lift ticket beginning at 95 a night. I think is double occ. though. The deal runs through dec 22 and you must stay 3 nights. I am not sure the cost if you get a pass for snowbird and alta? should not be more than 5-10 bucks.
dec, dec, dec!
schwank. cmon guys, just a few more to lock this in.
Bump to make the December maggot camp happen.
