JumpCamp is still alive. Can you believe it?!

Well it's been getting cold
and to keep warm we've been doubling up on sweatpants. Besides that we've been working with our amazing sponsors and crew designing the new park and getting the mountain groomed and ready. Brochures and posters are at the printers and the website has been redone. All the new 2010 dates are up and a schwack of new photos, downloads and all kinds of other jazz. Check it out and secure your spot in one of this year's camps.

Photograbros
We have lots of photographer friends at JumpCamp. These hombres sit in the cold and freeze their fingers in the off chance that we'll do something rad. Here's three of our favourites: Billy Pipe  http://pipephoto.com/ Dave Prothero http://www.daveprotherophotography.com/index.html & Gordon Ross http://www.gordonross.ca/

The Prospect Co-Op project has been setup so that anyone can submit snowboard artwork to a real snowboard company with a real chance to have it published.

We've been seeing some rad ideas coming from independent designers and its important for us to offer. This concept, designed by Lane Lederman remains nameless at the moment, so we're calling it the bush whacker for now.

Lane submitted his design to us through our Co-op and within a few weeks we will publish his board on our site with a chance for people to reserve their board in advance.

The point of our Co-op is to give guys and gals, like Lane, the chance to have their artwork published with a snowboard company.

Screw design competition where you will literally be one in 1,000 to win. Our Co-Op is natural selection. If you design kicks ass people will want it and we are here to help you make it.

If you are interested in creating your own board for our Co-Op then here is where to start.

1. Put together the most rad artwork you can think of, just don't copy other people's designs.
2. Submit your artwork and create a bio. What is your artwork about?
3. Tell all your friends about your board so they want to buy it.
4. Your friends reserve a spot to purchase your board.
5. Once a few reserve orders come it we'll print your design.
6. When it is time to print we'll call to complete the reserve orders.
7. We then invest in your design and publish it into our line of boards.

This is your chance to be a snowboard designer.


Check out our Co-op page for more information and to see the current line of concept art.

If you are looking to reserve a model for purchase email us at contact@prospectsnowboards.com

2 BIG bits of news!!!!
 
1/ I'm now self-employed running my own mobile phone shop. Doing ok at the moment but only been a month so far so too early to tell. At least I hit my break-even point 2 days ago (10 days before end of month) and, yes, that does include paying myself!
 
2/ I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!!!!!!!!! Bex is due in 4 weeks time! Its a little boy (no name decided yet) and we're both really looking forward to it! Bump seems to be growing daily and its weird feeling him kicking! Nursery is all done - we completely re-did one room, carpets and all!
 
I have yeat another new car. A 98 'S' Nissan 200sx (not standard - not even close!) Tremendous fun to drive and, with a little under 300bhp, quicker than most things out there!
 
Will try to get on a bit more often...

Hello friends,

Please mark off THURSDAY APRIL 9TH on your calendars, as you are all requested to get out of the office and join Malakye, KNOW?SHOW, Coors Light, SBC and IS Eyewear for a fun day of shredding at Grouse Mountain.

This is the day for you to band together with your co workers and come enjoy endless cups of coffee and bottomless boxes of Donuts, and shred some office boy (and girl, of course) sized obstacles. How does Quasi-Big Air sound? Those who came out last year remember the joy of the hippy jump. There will be "Brass Balls" awarded, "Blue Balls" called out, a "Scorpion King" Crowned, and success in your work will be measured pound by pound in the weigh off. Many other prize categories are up for grabs, and this year, we welcome you to help us out by giving us your ideas for categories and/or supply us with some used office furniture to build into the course.

Malakye just finished Office Booyz USA, click this link to get stoked.

You all know this event started right here in Vancouver, and though it looked like a good time at Bear, will definately be one not to miss in Vancouver.

To have an entry form for the Office Booyz contest sent to your office or to sponsor a prize category click here!

Officially I do not need my velcro splint anymore (i never got the traditional plaster) except when I snowboard in the future. However, I still do not have full usage of my hand(right). I cannot write on pieces of paper. It looks like chicken scratch, so my diability insurance has been extended. However, day by day Im able to do more things from using the scissors, opening doors, cutting vegetables.
 
The doc felt the bones had properly healed and that I should challenge myself and use the wrist as much as possible. I recently went for an hour swim after which I discovered my injured left shoulder(falls on ice near bottom of mtn) still cannot do freestyle without discomfort..
 
Hopefully after 6wks of pt I will be back to 90%. I can supinate and pronate but not 100% and fingers are all still super stiff.

The marketing department wanted me to promote Copper Mountain’s Spring Special. They told me it was a big deal, so I dug deep into my attractive mind cave and came up with something big. So, traveling people, check out “The Deal.” www.nationalsnowday.com/icemelts -Captain Fred McGilicutty

A touch, A sight, A smell.. However small can often times trigger an explosive memory..
 
After dance class last night I went out to this bar with a couple of the students.. I don't drink so basically I was there as a DD if one was going to be needed.. Plus I was craving a bit of fun.. 
 
There was some dancing.. Lots of gossip.. Lots of laughter.. Fast forward a bit...
 
I was at the bar waiting for a couple of drinks to bring back as the girls hunted up a table.. I was doing my usual feel the music vibe as I scanned around the crowd.. This guy catches my attention farther down the bar..  As my eyes hit his he holds my look and gives me a smile.. I was about to smile back (as that's my sunny nature) when he pulls on his lip with his teeth and licks it as his eyes drift to my mouth.. Then he looks down at his beer knowing he's been caught staring and day dreaming.. 
 
Instantly my mind conjured up the one guy I loved with all my heart.. One of the few guys that knew how I liked to be kissed.. Hard and rough with a bit of bite.. HOLY WOW!  The memory was so vivid I could almost feel his bite..
 
Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it..
 
So I basked a minute in my memories.. Then I walked over to my friends who'd made it to a table..
 
I'm not on the market..
