Hating on Cam McCaul?!

POSTED: Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Ok… the hater comments were one thing, but now this Rip user is uploading videos… check out what “the truth” has to say about Cam McCaul… major hater. I’d like to see him on a bike. He clearly put a lot of time into making this video… maybe he needs a hobby… like mountain biking??

Orage Masters LIVE Webcast This Weekend!

POSTED: Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

After a one-year hiatus, the Orage Masters is back with a fresh course and a new venue. The fifth installment of the Masters will take place this coming Saturday, April 12 at Whistler Blackcomb, BC, part of this year’s 13th annual Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival. The Masters will once again pit hardgoods manufacturers against one another in the battle for some of the best prizing of the year: including snowmobiles, surf trips, Wii’s, and a whole bunch more all the way down to third place. And don’t forget, legendary KISS bassist Gene Simmons will be on hand to dole out the goodies live on stage in Whistler Village on Saturday afternoon.
