(9:05) Another great mix for you in this podcast. First off we bring you some of the riding highlights from the first year of the Maverix Snow Camp. We had a great crew who came out to shred the sick park in Les Deux Alpes this summer and take time to taste the flavour of the other slope offerings, including the infamous slush pools. The camp was a great success and we look forward to running it again next year. For more juice and other videos from the camp visit www.maverix.org and also look at the 2008 gallery - www.maverix.org/gallery08/ Many thanks to our snow camp supporters - Spazz Clothing, Fear of the Park and Conspiracy Board Store. We also have our video review from the FBBB comp at Tamworth. It was back in June when we made our visit to Tamworth, but due to the Snow Camp it is only now that we can bring you some of the sweet highlights from a great comp. The setup was sick, and I was gutted to be filming and not riding. For more information on the FBBB tour check out www.forboardersbyboarders.com The finish up we take you over to the east coast of the US with a teaser for a new movie that will be released this Fall. I Heart Snow Productions will be releasing their 'Back East' movie. This just shows how sick the riding is and how great the conditions and the parks are (contrary to popular belief).

Most racers go non-stop completing the circuit in less than 1 hour! Average speed is 70mph. We shot this segment strapped into an open door rock ‘n’ roll helicopter the Boeing MD-500 with pilot Larry Etchandy at the controls. Larry is crazy and used to shooting big Hollywood films and he gave us one wild ride resulting in some great action footage.

The hole is 1200 feet deep – a seven second 100 mph B.A.S.E. drop into an echo chamber filled with sound of screaming freefalls and the wail of thousands of swallows and parrots living in the vertical cave walls. Surreal for sure! Watch those boulders when landing! There are no nearby hospitals. See how they get out. Xcorps host Bob Woodard rides a new skateboard from our friends at PHAT boards. Bob rolls the hills of Point Loma San Diego with the Hammerhead super wide track pushed by tunes from Drowning Pool. Cool board to see. Hear what Bob thinks of the ride.
