VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
00:00:10:23 Previously on West 49 Ambition Skatecamp,
00:00:13:26 after losing in the Wakeskate activity
00:00:16:14 West Coast Plus 1 was forced to sleep in a tent,
00:00:19:19 which wasn't a problem for Shawn, Mike, and Gabby,
00:00:22:09 but their team captain Micky refused.
00:00:25:11 The following day the activity was Paintball,
00:00:28:05 and after three intense games
00:00:29:28 it was decided that things were too close to call,
00:00:32:21 and that teams tied of relief,
00:00:35:03 in that neither team was punished.
00:00:36:20 That afternoon the competition was fierce,
00:00:39:16 when the skaters hooked up with pass
00:00:41:12 to shoot their best line with Micky,
00:00:44:02 Shawn, and Johnny taking top three.
00:00:46:19 Kirk, Gabby, and Colin received their first letter,
00:00:49:25 while Bobby and Mike picked up their second letter,
00:00:52:08 halfway to spelling camp,
00:00:54:01 which would force them to pack their bags and head home.
00:00:57:16 At the end of the day their counselor, Chill Phil,
00:01:01:12 decided as punishment to Micky for not sleeping in the tent,
00:01:05:04 Micky's whole team would have to perform an apology rap.
00:01:08:22 The rap was a hit that actually brought West Coast Plus 1
00:01:12:16 closer as a team.
00:01:13:13 Now, it's Day 4 at Muskoka Woods,
00:01:16:17 and as we have seen already, truly anything can happen.
00:01:19:28 Entrance into the Am Division of the Maloof Money Cup and
00:01:22:27 a profile in SBC Skateboard still hangs in the balance.
00:01:26:27 This is West 49 Ambition Skatecamp.
00:01:31:07 [Music]
00:02:36:27 So I think today will be easier waking up myself,
00:02:39:20 because no one is in the tent. Let's see how it goes.
00:02:41:28 Hey guys! I got some mail.
00:02:45:08 -Phil. -What?
00:02:47:21 Read the mail. It's all you bro.
00:02:50:22 And guys, wake the heck up.
00:02:59:00 Guys, wake up.
00:03:04:05 No one is up yet.
00:03:06:18 You guys aren't even fun in the morning.
00:03:09:28 -Hey Michelle! -What's up dude?
00:03:15:09 Yo Mike! Need a beat.
00:03:16:25 Drop out.
00:03:19:02 There is no way.
00:03:21:12 Okay. Imagine an airbag that's not in a car.
00:03:25:11 And when you jump on it, your teammates fly far.
00:03:28:08 Come down to the lake, bring the whole mob.
00:03:31:07 Hold on to your hat it's time for the blob.
00:03:36:25 Blob.
00:03:40:12 Let's get breakfast.
00:03:42:09 Coming up next, the skaters hit the blob.


00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:11:18 Yeah boys.
00:00:14:28 Welcome to the blob.
00:00:16:29 Unique to Muskoka Woods, the blob has the ability to launch
00:00:19:24 you guys up to 20 feet in the air.
00:00:22:17 I want you guys to see if you can blob your teammates
00:00:24:29 as high as you can, with as much style.
00:00:26:28 Just like yesterday and the day before,
00:00:29:07 losing team sleeping out in the tent,
00:00:31:12 the team with the most style
00:00:33:07 gets to sleep inside in the cabins.
00:00:35:23 Little added incentive, Owen here is going to be
00:00:38:08 taking some photos to capture the sick tricks
00:00:41:01 that you guys are going to be doing into the water.
00:00:43:16 Let's go do this.
00:00:45:29 Dude, give me some music so I can get high.
00:00:47:28 Alright, so we got to the blob, we were all so stoked because
00:00:50:27 we have been looking forward to that, all week, right.
00:00:54:11 [Music]
00:00:59:16 Feeling pretty good about it.
00:01:04:18 First of all, it was the blob
00:01:05:28 and that was like ridiculously fun.
00:01:09:05 [Music]
00:01:19:18 When you are going to fall you are going to be nothing.
00:01:22:23 Alright, Bobby you are going to blob and jump.
00:01:24:27 These are steep stairs.
00:01:27:16 Alright, ready?
00:01:28:16 [Music]
00:01:37:13 We were pretty sure like that we were going to win it
00:01:38:29 because we had little Bobby in our team.
00:01:40:22 We all knew Bobby was going to fly;
00:01:42:21 it was pretty much an unfair advantage.
00:01:44:16 [Music]
00:01:47:18 Bobby just launched to never land.
00:01:48:29 I will show you the sequence.
00:01:50:13 [Music]
00:01:55:24 I got launched pretty high.
00:01:57:18 He was like 90 pounds.
00:01:59:11 I think I got Bobby pretty high.
00:02:00:23 He is going to get us out of the tent again.
00:02:03:00 It's like normal for any man doing that much.
00:02:05:22 [Music]
00:02:22:25 Basically, we have seen Pasi fishing on the lake
00:02:24:14 and he called them over.
00:02:29:13 Why am I doing this?
00:02:30:26 I am not getting launched by Pasi.
00:02:33:12 Shawn was supposed to blob him.
00:02:36:05 [Music]
00:02:39:13 As he stepped in, he kind of... send him for a ride.
00:02:44:28 Gaby, speed up man, now it is going to be fun.
00:02:47:21 Go it's over man.
00:02:49:21 [Music]
00:03:04:09 Moved Gaby in the air.
00:03:06:16 Pasi is not really on that team, but like they gave me a 10,
00:03:10:01 so like well you get Pasi to blob you two from losing down.
00:03:13:17 [Music]
00:03:16:18 That was the best.
00:03:18:03 [Music]
00:03:22:03 That was sick guys.
00:03:23:29 I am not going to lie, it's a pretty close.
00:03:25:29 Probably one of the funniest things ever seen.
00:03:28:10 Bobby you launched so insanely high, ridiculous.
00:03:32:14 We are pretty sure that we like
00:03:33:25 still had Bobby higher in the air.
00:03:35:17 But since Pasi rolled up on the scene,
00:03:36:27 we have seen the footing, Gaby you guys could win.
00:03:41:09 Pasi came through for me and launched me real high.
00:03:43:12 It's probably the scariest thing I have ever done
00:03:45:19 but obviously I don't get to sleep in the tent today.
00:03:48:05 Beam team you are out.
00:03:53:24 Guys, I heard Bobby and Gaby went to the moon.
00:03:58:24 Alright, welcome back to the earth.
00:04:00:08 I say we go clean up
00:04:01:10 because afterwards you are going to be joining Owen
00:04:03:13 and I up on the Slam City Jam course.
00:04:06:08 Hope you guys are ready for you close ups.
00:04:08:09 Extreme close up.
00:04:18:28 Guys, welcome to today's challenge.
00:04:20:29 I am here with Owen Woytowich, SBC skateboard photographer and
00:04:24:22 he has shot some of the greatest in the skateboard industry.
00:04:27:17 You guys are going to be working with him
00:04:28:28 to capture one still photo.
00:04:32:06 It might sound easy, but it's not.
00:04:34:13 Owen.
00:04:35:22 What's up buddies?
00:04:37:00 It's super-hot out, so let's make this as quick as we can.
00:04:39:26 We are going to be have 15 minutes to do this photo shoot
00:04:42:14 so hopefully you have something ready
00:04:44:17 because if you don't land in that 15 minutes,
00:04:46:23 it's just like the streets, we can't use it.
00:04:49:03 I want to see a good trick, good style,
00:04:51:22 let's get something that's not ugly.
00:04:53:25 We don't want to see no ugly mal flips, no yo flips.
00:04:56:14 You know what we are looking for.
00:04:57:21 Owen, let's go.
00:04:58:19 Alright.
00:04:59:28 I was lucky enough to go first
00:05:01:25 and I was so nervous all day for this.
00:05:04:09 Thanks.
00:05:08:03 Started off with my warm-up sports like...
00:05:10:05 [Music]
00:05:23:28 I wanted to try back lift so I just tried it.
00:05:26:17 [Music]
00:05:33:13 I did a backside noseblunt down the concrete rail.
00:05:36:08 [Music]
00:05:41:13 Mickey, Mickey.
00:05:43:04 [Music]
00:05:46:23 Yeah dude.
00:05:47:27 Gun shot.
00:05:50:02 [Music]
00:05:54:03 Dude, can I see that?
00:05:56:13 Matching red.
00:05:59:16 Had to do the best still photo today.
00:06:04:28 I am ready doc.
00:06:06:19 Gaby.
00:06:09:24 I wouldn't be surprised.
00:06:13:13 Oh!
00:06:15:03 First drive.
00:06:17:04 Are you looking for a comment from me?
00:06:19:22 Because I have nothing to say about that.
00:06:23:08 I got my trick first, trial stopped;
00:06:24:22 they didn't have to try more than once.
00:06:26:18 I am only going to comment.
00:06:28:21 Yeah I am doing decent, I am doing like I want it,
00:06:31:03 everything is fun, just like relax and fun, chilling out.
00:06:34:26 Just go with the flow I guess.
00:06:37:13 I love this kid.
00:06:39:17 I like Shawn, he is a good guy.
00:06:41:29 [Music]
00:06:50:28 Bobby makes it look so good.
00:06:52:23 Everything Bobby does is like...
00:06:57:03 Bobby last minute.
00:07:01:13 So much style Bobby.
00:07:06:15 Even better than the either...
00:07:08:00 [Music]
00:07:12:28 Go back to back man, two days, no letter.
00:07:15:24 [Music]
00:07:17:18 I don't know, just going to pull together,
00:07:19:14 the ledger is a little bit chunky.
00:07:21:12 [Music]
00:07:29:28 Shawn you have like one more try.
00:07:32:26 Another chance, I am blessed.
00:07:35:19 [Music]
00:07:37:18 That was the right speed...
00:07:39:22 He is the only person, he has been landing from today.
00:07:42:05 [Music]
00:07:47:18 Oh yeah! I have been doing this like for about
00:07:49:07 a year or so, so pretty confident with it.
00:07:51:13 Okay Kirk, I am ready whenever you are.
00:07:53:16 [Music]
00:07:57:05 Not the climax, they really do justice.
00:07:59:15 [Music]
00:08:01:16 I felt pretty good with my trick but trick I did wasn't
00:08:04:18 really good for a still photo so I didn't do too good.
00:08:09:28 Why aren't you just getting on that rail?
00:08:11:28 Dude, do it the 5-0.
00:08:13:26 Austin got the 5-0.
00:08:17:28 Alright, let's give it a trial, shoot it long.
00:08:19:25 I have shot this spot like 10 times.
00:08:22:28 You are coming out this way.
00:08:24:21 Yeah.
00:08:26:10 [Music]
00:08:33:00 Oh!
00:08:37:03 Oh! That actually legitimized it for me.
00:08:40:29 [Music]
00:08:45:28 I got some punishment from Owen and some of the judges
00:08:48:08 for like next time.
00:08:50:06 Thanks a lot Owen.
00:08:52:18 I just gave it my all and just like tried my hardest,
00:08:55:02 sweat my brains out.
00:08:57:08 I was trying front leap on the gap to the rail.
00:08:59:16 I was finished right there and that was the line
00:09:02:09 but three tries through the front leap,
00:09:04:23 my board caught on the rail before I popped it
00:09:06:29 and my leg just went straight over and so I jumped on.
00:09:12:15 You all right? Safety.
00:09:14:18 Did you hit it?
00:09:16:10 [Music]
00:09:18:28 You all right?
00:09:20:01 I am done.
00:09:22:06 Alright buddy.
00:09:23:26 [Music]
00:09:27:18 Was it your butt?
00:09:31:08 Oh no!
00:09:35:28 Did you know that?
00:09:37:12 No, maybe, I don't know. Probably didn't know how to...
00:09:40:09 [Music]
00:09:44:24 I don't think I did very well because during the warm-up
00:09:47:12 I fell really hard on the rail and I was kind of over it,
00:09:50:27 like I couldn't really skate anymore, it really hurts.
00:09:54:10 So I kind of sacked it.
00:09:58:28 Had some pretty big plans for that rail
00:10:00:18 but didn't end up happening.
00:10:02:19 Definitely not a...
00:10:04:13 some content about getting the sickest trick,
00:10:07:05 it's about getting the sickest fall.
00:10:08:24 He is going to lay or he is going to try for it.
00:10:11:15 Dude, you can do front side of wall rise.
00:10:14:16 I don't know, I just had my mind stuck on one trick.
00:10:16:29 Dude, you could run into a wall right up there
00:10:19:08 and like top the wall and that might be the sickest photo.
00:10:22:23 You want me to do this just to get it.
00:10:24:16 [Music]
00:11:06:13 If you get it, you are at.
00:11:07:28 And even if you don't get it, you are still there,
00:11:09:26 it's kind of when you are at either way.
00:11:12:07 I think if you are relaxed, you got it.
00:11:16:18 Do it man.
00:11:19:25 Yeah. That's a base.
00:11:25:24 When we come back, the judges make their decisions.


00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:05:14 So Owen, how is the camera? How are the kids?
00:00:08:14 Kids were amazing, they were throwing down so hard today.
00:00:11:23 It's like they were out in the streets,
00:00:13:13 they were actually really hungry today.
00:00:15:04 So it's going to be hard,
00:00:16:26 we've got a lot of stuff to go through.
00:00:18:04 We will give you some time to deliberate then.
00:00:22:20 Alright. Let's start with Joan.
00:00:23:22 Flip side.
00:00:25:18 Super sick photo.
00:00:27:19 He was warming up to do a noseblunt,
00:00:29:18 but too bad he sucked, really unfortunate.
00:00:32:16 That is why I was scared.
00:00:34:17 It was so much energy, I was like, what is he going to do?
00:00:38:22 Seriously? It was like a nose block though?
00:00:42:08 Shawn, man, photo came out really...
00:00:46:14 like how did you find that out of all those?
00:00:49:04 Like locked into like fly.
00:00:52:14 Yeah, he just caught his back foot.
00:00:54:06 I think because of the heat and the concrete, it just
00:00:56:21 wasn't working, it wasn't sliding or grinding for him.
00:00:59:06 I think he was just popping way too high.
00:01:01:19 Laser heel.
00:01:04:00 Not a still photo, we tried to tell him too.
00:01:06:22 I mean, I can't do a laser heel down there.
00:01:08:28 The whole reason you take a still photo
00:01:10:19 is to do the trick justice,
00:01:12:14 and that is not a still photo trick.
00:01:15:28 Dude, you can do a front side a wall ride.
00:01:19:16 I was just shaking my head like a laser.
00:01:21:24 And he was work breaking himself off trying to get it too.
00:01:23:27 I was like, man!
00:01:25:08 He worked really hard.
00:01:26:12 He got it though, he got it, I will give him that.
00:01:31:08 Kirk, buddy.
00:01:33:05 Such a biggie! Same deal.
00:01:35:18 Pick your front side foot, that's what I told him.
00:01:38:26 Another perfect example of what would make a good sequence.
00:01:44:25 It would make an amazing sequence,
00:01:46:19 especially with his right leg coming right to the camera,
00:01:48:24 but not a good still photo.
00:01:52:23 -Amazing! -What do you say about this kid?
00:01:54:15 Nice.
00:01:55:22 Look at the poke on that kid, look at that smile.
00:01:58:00 I love Bobby, he is the best.
00:01:59:16 At Muskoka Woods. Arms are perfect.
00:02:04:28 From this angel, the guy looks very long from this angel,
00:02:09:23 almost longer than the back or any other side.
00:02:15:23 Colin has his crooks.
00:02:17:09 Yeah, but let's see his back leg.
00:02:20:09 Who cares about the crook, there is the back leg.
00:02:22:21 Perfect! He is definitely in there.
00:02:26:18 Gabby wasn't ready. I blew it so bad.
00:02:30:13 But I like that because it's not like a traditional photo,
00:02:32:10 it's not like, usually everyone is on this side for that.
00:02:34:25 I kind of like the way it turned out.
00:02:36:25 Anyways, first try, it's not going to make him front foot.
00:02:39:16 I am still...
00:02:41:24 You can't even tell it's an apartment, by the way.
00:02:44:06 My favorite photo of the day, by far,
00:02:47:11 -and he did it in four tries. -He did it in four tries.
00:02:51:24 Obviously framing is ridiculous on that.
00:02:54:09 It could have been better.
00:02:58:00 I just like the whole... I think the trick is sick.
00:03:01:07 But I actually made that obstacle look pretty narrow.
00:03:04:20 So we have our guys, let's call them back in.
00:03:07:11 Let's get Mitchell and Andrew.
00:03:08:27 Mitchell and Andrew.
00:03:10:08 We are ready to go. Get them boys.
00:03:13:09 [Music]
00:03:19:18 Welcome back guys!
00:03:21:17 First off, let me just say it was so hot today
00:03:24:01 and you guys did amazing, good job.
00:03:25:28 And judges, I understand you got your top three.
00:03:28:15 We do.
00:03:29:26 Skaters, remember top three, if you are in there,
00:03:31:24 congratulations, no penalty, you guys are safe.
00:03:34:09 If you are in the bottom five, time to approach the table
00:03:37:02 and grab your next letter
00:03:38:21 on your way to spelling the word camp.
00:03:41:13 Owen.
00:03:42:24 Well, you guys all killed it today.
00:03:46:13 But since there can only be so many, what do you think?
00:03:49:18 I would say my favorite photo that I think I saw is
00:03:52:13 yours Micky, back noseblunt.
00:03:57:18 So Micky is one.
00:03:59:27 Definitely one.
00:04:01:13 And then we got Colin,
00:04:02:19 your back lip was ridiculous, I would say you hooked it,
00:04:05:22 but your back lip stood out more than Kirk for sure.
00:04:08:22 -For sure. -So you are one.
00:04:10:22 And Gabby, man, I wasn't even set up on the right side
00:04:14:09 of the rail and you just came out of nowhere,
00:04:16:17 and your front feet did.
00:04:18:06 I don't know what goes through your mind,
00:04:20:09 but you definitely ate your Wheaties this morning.
00:04:21:21 So that's our top three, but there is a little catch,
00:04:24:25 because as stoked as we are in those top three,
00:04:27:09 we are actually equally as stoked on four.
00:04:29:22 So we are going to change it up
00:04:30:28 and one extra person is not going to get a letter today.
00:04:34:08 Kid with a style for miles.
00:04:36:07 MVP Bobby, your back flip was insane,
00:04:39:05 you are safe today buddy, four of you guys.
00:04:41:24 The other guys, you are good too,
00:04:43:03 but sorry, those are the four.
00:04:45:13 Alright so I want to say congratulations to
00:04:47:07 the top three, but it's congratulations to the top four.
00:04:49:13 Top four.
00:04:50:22 Alright so bottom four, you guys will approach the table
00:04:52:27 and grab your next letter.
00:04:54:28 Awesome! Remember, Beam Team 2,
00:04:56:28 you are out in the tent, so happy trails.
00:05:01:13 I didn't get a letter today which I am pretty happy about.
00:05:05:28 Coming up, scenes from next week's episode of
00:05:08:13 West 49 Ambition Skatecamp.


00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:01:08 Next time on West 49 Ambition Skatecamp.
00:00:05:25 Today you are going to be building lawn trams.
00:00:07:28 -Beam Team, let's do this. -Let's do this.
00:00:10:10 The team that doesn't win this activity
00:00:13:28 has to clean the bathroom and the cabin,
00:00:16:15 so make sure you don't lose this.
00:00:17:25 Guys, we got a saw.
00:00:20:08 -This one. -This is so sketch.
00:00:27:00 I liked it, approved.
00:00:28:29 These [inaudible] streets, you know what I am saying?
00:00:31:20 [Music]
00:00:41:28 Sleeping on the road ramp.
00:00:43:04 Rather than sleep in the tent.
00:00:44:14 We are going to hike up through the forest
00:00:46:08 and then sleep up on the dirt ramp,
00:00:47:23 -under the stars with no tent. -No.
00:00:50:15 Phil, I am scared.
00:00:52:25 And John is too scared.
00:00:54:29 He is scared of the Sneaky Poos.
00:00:57:01 [Music]
00:01:33:08 Hey guys, how is it going? This is Mike McDermott,
00:01:34:23 representing DVS/Matix, Habitat International Skateboards,
00:01:38:17 and of course Green Apple Skate Shop in Winnipeg.
00:01:42:13 Now, I hear that competition is getting a little harsh
00:01:45:07 for you guys out there at Skateboard Camp,
00:01:47:02 but forget it, try to have some fun,
00:01:50:07 because this is what skateboarding is all about.
00:01:52:04 And I know it's hard, because sometimes you stress out here
00:01:55:18 and there when you are trying to skate,
00:01:56:28 but tomorrow during the challenge just do exactly that,
00:02:00:18 remember to have some fun. See you.
