Holy post !
I'm breaking my cherry doing this lady's and gentlemen. But here we go - After being up at Whistler coaching at Mommentum this summer, i convinced Luke to come back to Vernon to hang out with all the Vernon boys. We've been blessed with awesome arid weather for the entire month , so we enjoyed some killer time in the Lake (KALAMALKA LAKE).
Super pimp styles.

It's been a long time since i've been able to jump and take an impact - but my rehab is coming along SUPER good and my knee is feeling totally righteous. So why not test it out into the water???

These are the Kal cliffs. I come here as much as i can every summer. This was my first time this summer . After doing some tricks off this one i had an ear to ear grin for the rest of the day. Seriously have been waiting for that weightless feeling of floating something out in the air. Dr. Van Valin scoping 911 - sorry the camera dude filmed it sideways :P

Cliff jumping was sick for sure. But we wanted to hit some balls into the Lake by the Butt-hutt. (our remote hang out spot for the loc-dogs)

Luke wanted to get this girls number on our way out, but she wasn't awake Luke was a lil cheesed for missing the opportunity.

On to the BUTT-HUTT ! This was some dudes private beach. He owns a mansion right above this spot. The story (as i have heard) Was this dude who owned all this got into some legal battle and he thought the best thing to do was to off himself, instead of dealing with the issue. He did and then gave all his property (incl the mansion and beach) to the district. So now its public but knowone really knows about it. Styles. We brought down a bucket of balls and a couple drivers and Irons. When we cruised down there , Justin (J-Bone)Dorey, Rylie (Tybo) Leboe, Marsh (munch) Talbot, Fergilicious Cancade and Joey cheese belly Schuster were already down there soaking up some early evening rays. Choice. Vernon boys

Ahhh.. Luke here! As Teeeeej explained, and as im sure you can imagine, it was a truly sensational day of Canadian Debauchery. Highlight for me? Seeing Tom Schiller flying through the air in nonstop light, smooth rotation.

"Hey Luke! Do a bio 9!"

"Ummm, yeah, I was thinking more like...."

"Oh screw you, I'm doing it!"

And then the happy go lucky young child thrusted himself off a high rock into a splendidly slow motion front cork nine hundo.... And he even threw in a Schiller mute.

No big deal.

Each year thousands of people flock to Montreal QC during the month of June to witness the only Formula 1 race still held in Canada. All weekend long car exhaust, beer girls, parties and more parties take over our fair city with reckless abandon and we at Orage embrace it! This year at Montreal's Formula 1 we were extremely pleased to join forces with local band "Shake" who headlined one evening during the weekend where thousands of spectators were on hand to enjoy the show. You'll be seeing more of "Shake" as we begin to feature them on our website throughout the coming year. For more info on "Shake" or to check out some of their latest tracks, visit them at http://www.shake-band.com/

Well today was another beautiful day here in Whistler BC and the sun drew skiers out in droves to the COC lanes which were again in prime condition. Can you say sunstroke anyone? Last night saw the arrival of loads of skiers pro and am alike all ready to get their shred dog on for yet another summer of COC action. Some of these skiers included Orage’s very own Jaime P Briones straight out of Barcelona, Spain and the young Quebec native Philly Casabon. What’s more, is that Dr Van Valin will be joining us tonight so I anticipate that the level of skiing and of course entertainment will soon be through the roof.

Once again, for those of you not in the know, The Orage Summer Contest Series is now underway. Head to orage.com/oscs for contest entry details. The contest will be running throughout the summer and we’ll be handing out loads of product to the winners all summer long.

While most companies this time of year are just recovering from the recent winter’s past, there are those brands that continue to be a part of and push skiing all year round. Fortunately, Orage remains to be one of these brands. We understand that skiers ski even when the snow melts, we understand that continual ski related web content matters to those like us and for this reason, we welcome summer skiing with open arms!

Today was an amazing day at the Camp of Champions in Whistler BC and with the COC lanes in prime condition and the sun shining, we’re pretty happy little campers. Orage will be here in Whistler for the next 30 days offering grip loads of free Orage outerwear and lifestyle gear, stickers, bandannas and camper discount cards to all those present. We’ll also be working with additional ski brands such as 4FRNT and Joystick to bring you a camper contest each week!

COC is presently the longest running glacier camp in Whistler and they’ve got their program dialed. Everyone from camper to coach is on hill having a good time and even after the ski day is done there’s still plenty to keep you occupied. If you haven’t yet been here in the summer time, check it out and join Orage and the team for a day, week or even month of summer action. Oh yeah, remember to visit http://www.orage.com/ for details of the Orage summer contest series that runs from now until the end of the summer. When the summer blues have got you down, we’ve got your back.
