'GoPro or Go Home'
Atomic Camp (Hemel) round-up....
30th July 2011 at 02:21PM
What with packing up and heading home Thursday night followed by a birthday celebration, it has taken until today to get this blog post online.
Thursday was an awesome last day on the Atomic-Ambition camp, we had some great fun going through some team building games in the morning off of the slope and then saw some good improvements throughout the morning on the skis. While the 2 younger groups tried to apply their new 'team-work' skills to the slopes in a syncro competition, the Big Dog's group were out testing skis freshly tuned with the new Snowglide Tool.
Phil Gordon from Snow& Rock kindly offered his services for the day, setting the new tool to work on a variety of Atomic Test skis. Sam Stevens, the eventual runner up in the race was 0.2 seconds quicker per run on the Atomic 155 tuned with the SnowGlide than on his own skis. Food for thought for the future with this kind of technology now available for ski tuning.
So the afternoon saw the athletes compete in our traditional end of week race. We saw some great moves in the race mixed in with some wild moves, but all the kids were pushing hard at 100% and even Odi Green (Ross Green's oldest son) decided he wanted a shot. The camp supporters made sure that no-one went home empty handed but the big prizes up for grabs were eventually snapped up as below.
Nippers Group: Pair of Atomic Race Skis. (Atomic) - Winner - DOM DALEY
Coolios Group: Dianese Back Support (Snow & Rock) - Winner - RYAN MCCANN, BETH SOMAN, TOM CHAMBEY
Big Dogs Group: GoPro Camera (GoPro, through Snow & Rock) - Winner - BARNEY LEWIS
All in all, i saw a lot of smiles, a lot of improvement and a lot of hard work go into the week by everyone involved, all that's left to say is that i hope Ipswich next week goes just as well and we hope to see 'The A-Team' back again for next year's camp with Atomic and Ambition.
Many thanks to all!
