Yup yup, Grasshopper Camp #1 is already 66% completed! Our intrepid group of young athletes have well worn in the new porcelain tiles of our brand-spankin K-18 meter. It's flying nice and high and giving the kids a taste of the bottom of the hill. Rockin'!
Today Team Grasshop enjoyed some World Cup-esque soccer on the outrun of the K-48 meter, followed by an epic session on the hill. Kudos to Sam & Maddie Boger, Arnel Hruby, and Kevin Quinn for sending it off the 18 on the porcelain for the first time. Awesome work, guys. We then hiked up the landing hill of the K90 in time to catch a US National Team training sesh. The kids loved kickin' it with the older guys. They definitely picked up some tricks of the trade. After a sweet spaghetti lunch, we watched some video of the morning's session, then hiked down below for some capture the flag. A little ADK rain shower couldn't hold us back. We then crawled back into the jumpsuits for another hour and a half of the springen--- some long rides. After a dip in the freestyle pool and some Otter Pops, it was time to peace. A day well spent.
Don't just take our word for it--- check the pics:
