Sick New Bikes at The Camp of Champions
At the end of last summer we decided that in addition to stepping up our coaching line up we would step up the bikes that campers ride. Our bikes were always the sickest bikes of any camp. That wasn't enough, we wanted the sickest bikes in Whistler. We've been working hard all winter with our bike sponsors to make this happen. A huge part of coming to The Camp of Champions is riding the sickest bikes in the sickest bike park on earth.
This summer our bikes are spec'd so insane that even sponsored pro riders are jealous. Check them out inside!![photo]()
Our bike sponsors have hooked us up with their top of the line DH/FR whips for campers. We couldn't have built bikes this great without the help of all our great part sponsors. We've spec'd out all the DH/FR bikes with various World Cup calibre builds so that when you come to COC you can experience the subtle differences specific components can make. Learning to ride means learning the difference different setups on the same bike can make to the ride you experience. We want campers to have every advantage we can give them. These bikes and these parts aren't something you can usually demo... unless you are demoing a bike from a World Cup Race team. When you choose your camp this summer, check the bike you will be riding. COC/World Cup Build or a Rental Build. It's up to you.
Having sick whips backed up with coaching from people like Mike Montgomery, Greg Watts, Andrew Taylor, Andi Wittmann, Alan Hepburn, Mike Hopkins, Gareth Dyer, Casey Groves, Darcy Turenne, Kelly McGarry, Ryan Berrecloth and others, make it so that you will learn the most and have the best time ever at camp.
All bikes have mechanicals, so you are backed up by our Ride Along Mechanic® - a COC exclusive. He fixes any mechanical on the spot or swaps bikes with you so that you never miss a lap. Ride More = Learn More.

The Spank Tweet Tweet

Here's what the guys at Spank tell us about the new Tweet Tweet
The Tweet Tweet has in a very short time become a benchmark for core DJ/Street/Park riders world wide. Spank gets letters all the time from riders just saying thanks for the Tweet. At 2.48 kg, in butted 4031 CrMo, it is a light weight, bombproof, aerial weapon. Add to a near perfect geometry our proprietary ECO coat translucent finish and custom machined dropouts and gussets, and you have one tough little beauty! The Tweet can be complemented with matching stems, handlebars, grips, clamps, spacers, sprockets, and our custom Spank SS chains! Together they make for some of the coolest builds on Earth.
NS Metropolis 1, 2 and 3 ![photo]()
We don't have the exact specs for the NS bikes we will have for demo this summer. As soon as we do the info will be posted on The Camp of Champions website.
The Camp of Champions now in its 22nd summer, uses the amazing combination of top pro riders as coaches, top of the line bikes, Ride Along Mechanics®, daily Pro Photo Shoots® with video and still photographers, private Air Dome sessions and so much more to make a camp experience that can’t be beat. With our own dorms and compound filled with the coolest, most fun stuff you will find anywhere, we run with all settings cranked to 11 all summer. With the Whistler Bike Park and the Air Dome as our home, you will learn so much in your time with us that it will feel like you just got an extra season of riding in just a week.

plus steve romanuik rides mongoose, a better model, but still a mongoose and he rips. as for the bike, it's rider preference. personally i'd love to have a scott gambler, but i'm cool if some dude says it's weak. it may suck for them, but i like the suspension design on it. plus i like how it looks. but i won't front about people's bike choices unless it's a hella excpensive bike and they don't really deserve to ride it. i realize some people actually save up to go to this camp, but it's money you can put to better use. and having pros teach you for a week is ok, but shredding with your buds and pushing each other to progress for months and years is even better.
plus i'm stoked cuz every friday i get to go shred the local hill fr what it costs you guys to get a hamburger.
i have no experience with v10s but they look pretty gnarly.
PS: Telling someone to get a life via the internet is nothing more than sociopathic hypocritical advice.
PSS: You used colloquial wrong.
Cheers mate.
I'm convinced that bike companies today that are producing a dedicated DH bike, have done extensive R&D, exhausting test sessions, and in my mind, all are worthy to be World Cup contending bikes on any given day.
We have amazing bikes to offer, from amazing sponsors, and people just like us....that really live to ride bikes.

santa cruz v10?
No.
And gotcha, and sick its good that you do have a few left for the weirdos like me! haha
Anywho's congrats with all the new whips, ide be stoked to come and ride one but I can't afford it! (in two senses, cant afford the time off work and cant afford the camp! haha) but im sure it'll be great.
And congrats overall btw, I know I seem to be ripping on you but I do infact support the shit out of you guys....& Endless Biking (for each of your respective camp styles) are the best in operation.
Thanks again. If you're ever in Whistler and see our crew in the park, make sure to say hi.
Will do for sure!
Just out of curiosity, are the campers able to ride different bikes throughout the camp or must they pick one at the beginning?
i'm a firm believer in do it yourself with your homies. find or build your own trail, ride it and learn/teach friends techniques and tricks, and get each other stoked and push each other to progress. i would love to have mike hopkins teach me, but if it's going to set me back the price of a new whip, i might as well learn by myself. plus there's the internet, tells you everything you want to know. and everything you don't.
