It´s been a while since my last blog, since I´ve spent quite some time at home in Norway, where it´s too cold to ride bikes right now. Tomorrow I´m leaving for California (Santa Cruz/Aptos area), and looking forward to some warm sun and bike riding. In addition to the local rippers
there´s a bunch of european lads over there right now, including Martin Soderstrom, Andreu Lacon, Mads Makken Haugen, Niels Windfeldt, Sam Pilgrim and so on, so it seems like we´re gonna get some pretty wild sessions over there.
Lately I´ve been doing lots of snowboarding and climbing for a change. I´ve realized that climbing is a great crossover sport for bikeriding. It´s great for all over coordination, strenght and flexibility. Check out this guy speed climb a 400 ft wall with no safety rope. If you see other videos of him online, there´s footage of him 360ing a 2 meter tall XC bike from around 1990. Pretty impressive:-)
Is it the watter in Aptos California that brings out the skill in all the riders there? Last week Cam’s younger brother Tyler McCaul went down to train on the Maga ramp, with Cam and the “Nirto Circus” crew. Tyler showed up and did nothing less then kill it. When a double whip on the maga ramp wasn’t good enough, he pulled out a tripple whip!!!
Cam McCaul was killing it this week in the foam pit, with the Nitro Circus crew. A day later he took it the ressy! Not bad for having jet lag from just getting home from the “White Style” in Austria……………
Summer Gravity Camps is one of Whistler’s Premier camps for mountain bikers. Run by Andrew Shandro and a hand full of professional riders, Summer Gravity Camp allows you to get close and personal with some of the best riders in the world, and get some exclusive time in the Whistler Bike Park and the Whistler area in general. One of the riders you may come across this year in the bike park is Cam McCaul, so here’s a little glimpse of what he could be teaching you to do.

Cam McCaul is known for pushing the envelope with his trick-tionary. He has been on the leading edge of Slopestyle for the past couple seasons and now you can get a chance to ride with Cam at one of the most unique and well designed parks in the world, Whistler Bike Park. How you ask? Through a Summer Gravity Camp.
Cam McCaul is going to be there helping, coaching, and training at SGC this year along side many other professional coaches helping you dial in the tricks you want to. We’re talking about exclusive AirDome time, riding outside of the bike park with him, and possibly even sitting down to dinner with Cam!
Here is a quick glimpse of what you could learn while at Summer Gravity Camps this summer.
