Erik Hakman just sent us a quick report from the last stop of his Junior Freestyle Tour, a series of clinics held over the summer all around Sweden. Enjoy the read and feel free to join the tour next summer!

F-Bay Junior Freestyle Camp

"We were incredibly lucky with the conditions for this year's installment of the F-Bay Junior Freestyle Camp! Great as always to see riders of all different ages and levels come together and rip it up at my original home spot, Fiskeback.

The camp started out with a jam packed Friday session; properly strong winds and perfect sunshine - perfect coaching conditions. Many of the riders have their first real fully powered planing runs, while others were spinning their first vulcans, spocks and flakas. We finished the day off with an epic night session - throwing down in the dark after the lights went out."

"Saturday delivered as well, and with good winds and blue bird skies for yet another day the whole group of riders just went all out, pushing themselves and each other hard to learn new moves. The 20 guys and girls put on a real show around lunch time with an impressively high level of non-planing freestyle! After a solid 8 hour day the crew took some time to relax, watch videos of the day's action, and enjoy a great barbecue."

"Going into the final day the conditions were not at their best, but despite the occasional rain shower and light offshore winds we set out to run a full freestyle double elimination. With new tricks up their sleeves all the riders put their new non-planing skills from the many sessions the day before to the test in a fun competition where we saw some real stand out performances.

With the F-Bay Junior Freestyle Camp in the books that's a wrap for this year's Junior Freestyle Tour. Come next June, Straight Outta Fiskeback and I will kick things into high gear once again with a whole new set of events at some new, as well as some of our classic locations."
