Four years ago the idea started within the Postland Crew to host a little event to bring together a bunch of homies for an easy day of shred. There’d be some prizes to be won, but no heats, no rules, and the judges would shred as many laps as the contestants. As much as the event grew, so did the group of friends (as you can see in the new line up of their new movie, Connect The Dots). So when it was decided to turn this year’s event into a 3 day camp, we could expect a shit ton of good people from all over Europe getting together in the forest and indoor slope of Montana Snowcenter.
Next to the hard Dutch core aka Kas Lemmens, Cees Wille, Max De vries, Bob Van Unnik, etc, we we’re also pleased with the presence of part of the 2014 Postland crew Len Jørgensen and Will Smith, and more homies like the LA River crew, DVP, and //District.

Friday evening at 18:00 o’clock people were welcomed at the campsite: people tried to find their place in the house to put down their mattress, caught up with some long lost friends, had a few beers, but mostly just got ready and changed for the grande park opening that’d go down at 19:00.
The promised barbecue session was postponed because of a misplaced grill. Man get’s creative when the need is high so here we were grilling up those sausages on one of the metal foot wipers you find at the entrance of any big building, Montana in this case.
Friday night was madness, literally every spot on both lifts were occupied, without creating a queue. Four hours of shooting later it was hard to think there would still be new ways to ride the setup the next day, but the beers later that night at camp might have been the fuel needed to spark up some new inspiration. After shredding we started with the Octopus premiere by DVP at the outdoor cinema set up around the bonfire, joined by maker and creator Marco Morandi and rider Max Zebe. Cheers went out to many of the crazy manoeuvre’s performed by Øivind Fykse, Nicolo Pezzato, and Max himself.
Saturday night belonged to LA River as they challenged everybody for a match of beer bowling. It seemed like the instigator Sune Buschmann lost every match but never stopped playing.
