TID Girls Invade Basecamp
Back in September Leslie Sparkes invited some of use Ontario shreds to come ride at Basecamp for the weekend. We were all super stoked especially since it had been our first time riding together since.. well I can’t event remember. Here is a bit of the footage from the day!
http://www.vimeo.com/8157170Video: 2009 Girls Clinics
Mission Statement: To create the ultimate wakeboard experience for girls of all ages.
In the summer of 2010 our website is proudly announcing our 2nd annual throwitdown.ca all girls wakeboard tour. The TID Girls Wake Camps are a fun, enthusiastic, learning environment used to introduce girls to the sport of wakeboarding, help lady shredders out there to improve their riding from learning their first air to landing that first tantrum.
Objective: The TID clinic tour was created by Canada’s top female riders with the goal of introducing new female athletes to the sport, and helping these girls to progress their riding by having FUN.
There is something in the air: “I don’t know what it is about girls specific clinics but they are always the most fun times I have on a wakeboard. The environment during a TID clinic is unique and extremely progressive. The girls are all supportive of each other and are not only there to cheer when you stomp a new trick, they are there to pat you on the back when you faceplant 10 times in a row. Having riders at different levels not only helps in their individual progression, it opens their eyes to the potential they can reach on a wakeboard.” – Erika Langman, TID head coach
“All girls clinics are an amazing thing to be a part of. Nothing really compares to the atmosphere when a big girl party takes over the boat; a boat load of cool girls who are all there to shred, pump up the tunes, do a little dance, learn some new tricks and slap some high fives. The most important thing to us is that our students have fun.” – Ally Boothroyd, head coach
For those of you who have never tried wakeboarding before; these clinics are a great way to get introduced to this super rad sport. If you’re looking to get some air, clear your first wake, learn some 180s, inverts or dial that trick you have been stuck on for awhile, come on out and get some professional instruction from the girls at TID.
Also… Watch for our upcoming girls ride days! Register online for free rail sets all day long at our TID girls ride days. Grill and Chill, shred some gnar, learn to hit your first rails, get some cool give aways and join our camp out/slumber party! Dates to be announced each spring.
Stance Movie
http://www.vimeo.com/6844765We all know that snowboarding is great cross training. We also know that up here in Canada, the wakeboard season is short lived. You’d be crazy to wakeboard and not snowboard or vice versa. Here’s a film that I think will get everyone pumped for a super fun off season full of pow and trees and park!
By combining forces with the industry’s best brands and riders the aim of this film is not only to create the most innovative female snowboarding film to date, but to start a larger initiative to push snowboarding’s creative and cinematic boundaries. With Jmills Ent as an avenue for professional athletes and media artists to express themselves to their full potential, new ground can be covered.
STANCE will be a platform that shredders, core and recreational alike, are excited to take part in. You know your STANCE—now come take a look at ours.
