Lake Placid Water Ramps

powbmps · May 20, 2008, 2:13 PM

I just put my name in for Sunday, August 10th. Heading up Saturday and staying overnight in a hotel or condo. I believe 2knees and a couple guys from the mogul forum are going. Just let me know if anyone else wants to go. Leanne suggested a max. group size of 8.

Well....the trip was fun, but didn't go quite as planned. I drove up with a friend of mine who wasn't hitting the ramps. We swung by the Dowsers Convention (WTF?) at Killington on the way out:

We met up with dabiglabowski2001 from the mogul forums (all the way from Maryland) and stayed at a sketchy place. The $56 price should have been a clue.

The weather started out perfect:

Too bad I did this on the third run:

After lunch the weather changed:

They had to cut the day short because of thunder and lightning. Unfortunately that is when we were planning on taking pictures, so I don't have squat.

Just a shot of some damage in central VT from the recent rain:

I wish the facility was a little closer because it is a blast. I'm going to be feeling it tomorrow though.

I'll be up with the boys the week of the 18th. We'll post a report afterwards.

powbmps - which day were you there? I was there videoing on Friday 8/8

powbmps · Aug 11, 2008, 11:14 AM

We were only there on Sunday. I'm so sore, I don't think I could have handled a second day.

well, the campers from my sons camp's schedule looked like this:

morning: 1:15 tramps
1:30 ramps

afternoon 1:15 tramps
1:30 ramps

schedule varies each day

First you need the USSA rookie membership for $60.

Use of the ramps is $18 for the day and coaching is $50.

We had a tentative schedule of:

8:00-10:00 Trampolines
10:00-12:00 Ramp

1:00-2:30 Trampolines
2:30-4:00 Ramp

We missed out on the afternoon session due to weather, but managed to get ~15 jumps in the morning.
