I'm psyched. I'll be riding with two of those folks in a month in Chile. Tyler Jewell and Lisa Kosglow, along with Anton Pogue, are running a carving camp for a week at the end of August. I'm so psyched to pack my snowboard gear and head to the airport with it in the middle of August. I think there are 8 campers and 3 coaches - now that's a great ratio.

Anyone else here on Bomber going?

If you guys haven't seen Lindsey Jacobellis run BX, its worth going to a race to watch. She's got a great smile and she kicks ass on the slopes. I watched her win the BX at Bachelor last year. She passed this French girl in the air on a jump right at the bottom of the course. Everyone else speed-checked coming into the jump (if you didn't, you were going to land all the way at the bottom of the transition). Lindsey knew that the only way to get past the French girl was to bomb the jump. She went huge and landed it for the win. If I remember correctly, she won every BX she entered last season (like 4 in a row). The World Cup BX courses are huge and fun to watch.
