    Nice pics guys. I hope that pic of me is from day 1 because my upper and lower body angulation is nil and I might as well drag that left hand

    I'll PM you GT. Thanks for following us around and shooting without laughing too much at us.

    Raps, that thing is growing still, It'll be twice that size by the end of today. I'm so glad I was wearing Armor. Good thing those weren't your skis, eh

    Rick I know you don't read this board but still dropping that right hand

    Awesome TR's everyone. Attending a str8line camp became one of my goals this last year, however after reading these TR's it is now a must do. I've started planning already. See you next year.
    I went out there in search of experience. To taste, and to touch, and to feel as much as a man can, before he repents.

    what canuk said. I will definitely be attending a camp as soon as I finish school and start earning money (aw shit, that could be years). The glowing testimonials and TR's are super motivating.

    Do it!

    This one time, at ski camp...
    Do it! Go to Str8line Adventures. My choice was between going to camp, or finally getting some proper fat skis. I made the right choice. Now to save money so that I can have both next year.

    Okay, I can't remember. What in the hell were you skiing on?

    OK so they weren't THAT skinny. Just looked a little thin for a typical Maggot. Probably the most appropriate ski in the group for the conditions though. Did Greener tell you to get some wider skis too?

    Heh. That would be pretty funny.


    Troublemakers aren't that bad. Hell, Gordy spent the first two days telling me to ski on skinnier skis in the conditions we were in. And Greener said stiffer skis.

    I almost did. If you look closely at the picture, you'll notice I'm only hanging onto my poles with my thumb and forefinger. All I kept thinking was "Oh shit. I'm gonna drop the coach."

    Yeah, I was told to get some wider and stiffer skis, which I will as soon as I can. I think that stiffer would have been more beneficial in the conditions that we were in.

    Just want to add more stoke to this thread. Today was the first day I have been able to ski since the camp. It was incredible. I can't believe the difference the camp made in my skiing. Everything seemed so much easier. The adrenaline was flowing all day long because the skiing just seemed so much better. Big props to Szyslak he was skiing the hell out of everything. He was stomping airs he would have passed up just a couple of weeks ago.

    Once again, if you can at all swing the camp, DO IT! You won't regret it.
