The Early Birds and the Warm-Up Sessions

For those of us who couldn't wait to get rolling, the early morning sessions were where it was at.

It was a great time to dial in those basic tricks, get comfortable on the board, and prepare for a day of shredding. The atmosphere was focused and intense, but also relaxed.

This was the ideal time to test out the course and get ready for the day ahead. These early sessions are not just about practice. It's about camaraderie. Sharing the space with the other early birds, offering each other tips, and encouraging each other to push their limits. Seeing everyone's dedication to improving themselves and their skills is truly inspiring. The early bird sessions set the tone for the entire day.
