Dw3 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 So on a whim I signed up for snowboard race camp with mt hood summer ski camp. I had no idea what to expect and was just hoping for the best. Met up with the instructor and one other (boardercross rider) on Monday morning. We spent about 1.5 hours talking body mechanics and how they relate to all the aspects of riding. We got on snow and basically spent about 4-5 hours each day breaking down these concepts. It was fantastic and made all the concepts and drills come together. I wish I would have found this guy sooner instead of just trying to figure things out on my own. It would have saved me a ton of time and sore joints. I plan on hooking up with him about once a month to try and build on what we did at camp. Just posting this because it might help someone else in the future. The instructors name is Mike and you can reach him through Timberline ski school. He said he could do instruction pretty much any day. This guy is a great teacher and I feel like I found a real hidden gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 If you want more race specific training, give Gavin a call http://www.snowperformance.com/index.php/hidden-pages/summer-camp-timberline-mt-hood and let him know your goals. He has some snowboard coaches but even if you take a camp/lessons from one of the ski coaches it will improve your technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
