I wanted to go to the lake placid ramp camp and u need a USSA membership...the form confuses the hell out of me it has all these prices under a "COMPITITION FORM" and none on the first form. so if anyone has been or has a USSA membership if you could help out and tell what it cost and explian the form it would be aprreciated.

i could help you out bro.

two questions, how old are you and have ever had a ussa membership before? if youre young enough and youve never been a member then you can get a rookie. otherwise i think you have to get a competitor membership.

what? what does that even mean? why am i a fool?

what im saying is that the only people i know that go are competitors

and there is nothing wrong with mogul skiers. guarantee they are twice the skier most people on this site are. and they are just as steezey

I went last year for a week, and even though most of the people are there form moguls and aerials, the smallest jump is freeride modeled. It was such a dope time, if you have the chance, do it.

i went there when i was 13, and i got the rookie membership. i think it was only $50.

it was a lot of fun, but for some reason i like completely forgot how to ski over that summer, so it wasnt as fun as it should have been. i kinda wish i could go back now that im better to learn some new stuff, but i cant afford it.

and to the kid who said its mostly mogul skiers- thats true but it doesnt really matter. plenty of freeride kids go too

as for the jump having the hydraulic top, there are 3 settings, top down, freeride, and aerials. top down is the smallest it goes, but you can still get pretty big off it. freeride the top is up, but it doesnt get any steeper than top down - the takeoff is just longer. and aerials they make it a little steeper, so you boost even higher, but its got more of a feel for aerials jumps.

Lake Placid Ramps are super fun, this will be my first summer in a while not going. You're going to have a great time and learn a bunch of new tricks.

all depends on who you go with. snowboarders are always really sketchy on the ramps. i dunno why but it always looks like theyre gonna fall on the inrun.

sorry kids*

I only ski park and not on a freestyle team, but I go ramps with a mogul team and I still learn lots from them. A cork 10, rodeo or misty is the same in the park or into bumps.
