In the summer of 2008, Kalamazoo, Michigan will host the PDGA World Championships. To salute the Wolverine State and support the 2008 Championships Huk Lab is proud to release a special edition Worlds Fundraiser Disc. The art was hand sketched and then water colored for a truly unusual full color disc. This disc is full of Michigan symbology as the White Pine, the state tree, anchors the design in the form of a triFly. Flanking the tree are a Robin, state bird, the Brook Trout, state fish and, of course, the Wolverine. The art is rendered using the Discraft SuperColor process which produces the most vibrant flyArt in the sky today. Available here at Next Adventure: $25

Thanks to all who participated and helped out with the USASA events this weekend. Saturday was the BoarderX and Sunday was the Halfpipe. Next Adventure was up on Sunday to lend a hand and show our support. Pipe is one of those events that really gets people pumped. "Easy Rider" lift-line runs parallel to the Pipe for a short distance and, standing on the lip of the pipe, listening to onlookers in their chairs: "Wow- did you see that!"..."Whoa!"- people were really impressed. It was a reminder of what a privilege its been to share in this experience with so many talented, up-and -coming athletes. Hope you guys are having a great time and enjoying the kick downs. On behalf of all of us here at Next Adventure, thanks for rip'n it up out there. It's been fun and we'll see you next weekend for the grand finale of this 2008 Hood Series.

Here are links to video clips on Google Video thanks to Paul Kays and more photos of Hood Series 2008, also thanks to Paul Kays as well as Kris Goodwillie and Dawn Stender. Thanks to all the volunteers that help to make this series a success: Mt. Hood Meadow's Park Crew, participants and their parents- what a great group! And, of course, thank you Paula, Hood Series Director- no one can do it like you do!
