It’s Thursday and that means one important thing in Salt Lake; free music! Tonight Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is playing at the Gallivan center. I’ll be riding my tall bike down there and checking it in The Collective’s bike valet. The weather is perfect for a pedal, so I’ll see you there!
As a recap; I spent a good month and a half recently in Whistler coaching at Camp of Champions. This extra summer time on snow opened the door for me to do two things that I enjoy as much as anything else in life: Teach and Learn. The majority of my time was, of course, spent as teacher, instructing the pro-shreds of tomorrow on proper pop and spin technique as well as (who could forget) back-flip day! I watched some of my campers beat their bodies harder than I’ve seen anyone beat down in as long as I can remember trying and trying to learn new tricks and concepts. Conversely, I was able to take a bit of me time and ride with some of the other coaches and pro-campers and learn a few new tricks of my own… Even now, off of snow for a week and a half, and months until the next time I’m on it, I can’t wait to get back up on the mountain and work on taking everything I learned in the park into the powder and natural features.
Until then: biking, climbing, getting in scrappy shape for the winter so that I don’t break myself in half with these new tricks… I’m also planning a bike tour through the Redwoods and up the Oregon coast ending up in Portland with Julian Carr this coming fall which I am getting my bike muscles in shape for as well.
and that is exactly what it has done… i am currently in whistler, bc, ca coaching at camp of champions for the summer. it has been pretty well amazing riding park every day and learning new tricks as well as teaching the fun things i know to the young ‘uns. the camp park this summer is incredible with a little bit of just about everything you could ever want to ski in june. that, combined with sunny afternoons at the lake, a little time in the bike park, and a few quality nights out on the town and you have a little bit of paradise…
It may be a bit dramatic, and a bit over produced, but it is a hell of a good message…
