stillnoprogress 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Read some where that Akua Planet is doing their High Cascade Japan camp at Happo this year instead of Alts where i guess they usually have it. I can't find 2008 info on their website. I used to work summers at High Cascade at Hood but have never been to any of the camps in Japan. Does anybody have any feedback on this camp or anything similar in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 i dunno, i have seen footy and talked to people who attend the High Cascade camp (Haika for short) at Hood and it looks like the funnest thing ever. I have doubts that people in Japan ride a snowboard for fun sometimes, and wonder what a Japanese version of the camp would be like... Link to post Share on other sites
tripitaka 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Is it a Christian camp for snowboarders? Link to post Share on other sites

tripitaka 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 So, what do you do? Maybe I'm just old, but does it have to be "organized" for you guys to learn your new tricks? Link to post Share on other sites
stillnoprogress 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 it doesn't have to be organized but there has to be girls watching Link to post Share on other sites

AK 77 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So this camp is going to a weekend only? I wonder what they will build? There have been rumours of 'a park being built by High Cascade shapers in spring on Happo' but if it's only for a weekend camp then it may be private, with no garuntee that it will be left up afterwards. The place they are planning to build it is also a bit strange (one should get used to this here, right?) as it's on a section with a steep down and then an almost flat - so you will be loosing speed all the time on the flat in spring, but the steep is too steep for putting kickers on, which means it will be one hit rather than a line on the flat. Better than nothing... Link to post Share on other sites
stillnoprogress 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 not really sure but i have to imagine they're going to dig a pipe and i can't believe they would go to the expense of digging a pipe and maintaining it (or anything else) if they were just going to leave it up for a weekend. I assume it will be private, but the logistics of stopping the gaijin from poaching is going to be a nightmare. regardless, it would be nice to have a park in the spring at Happo Link to post Share on other sites

AK 77 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 ahhh, if it's a pipe camp, then that place would make a bit more sense - pipes usually sit on steeper slopes than kickers. Link to post Share on other sites
