THE GIST: Consider this the mecca of all things action sports. If we’re talking BMX though, there’s a few things you gotta know. First and foremost, we’ve got the game dialed between our plethora of concrete, dirt and wood ramps specifically designed to suit your style. Conveniently, each of the sites is connected by a maze of plazas and rails so you can cruise in style all day, everyday. Keep on rolling and you’re sure to run into the numerous pros from the industry that shred here at camp, offering that extra lil’ bit of motivation or instruction to help you step your game up. If that alone doesn’t have you chomping at the bit maybe mom and dad will be pleased to hear that Woodward West has a family-oriented work staff, dedicated to making your experience with us as ideal as possible. Toss in our loaded bike shop, state-of-the-art foam pits and that ever-famous California sun and we’ve got the makings to give you the gnarliest summer yet.

LOCATION: Beautiful Stallion Springs is situated in the Tehachapi Mountain at 4,000’ elevation, affording it perfect summer temperatures. No more melting in that Arizona heat or those frigid East Coast winters. Stallion Springs, California is about 15 miles from Tehachapi and just 2 hours north of Los Angeles. We’re in the heart of it all.
INSTRUCTION: Although BMX is traditionally an individualistic sport, any rider knows there’s strength in numbers. Whether it’s feeding off the local scene or sharing skills with new riding acquaintances there is benefit in the group setting. Recognizing this dynamic, Woodward West stands unique in our efforts to invite pros from all avenues to challenge, encourage and befriend our campers. Yeah, those guys you see online and on TV, they’ll be here—and not in the form of those tacky cardboard cutouts— we’ll have ’em here in the flesh, approachable and killin’ it out there with you. Each day you’ll receive at least 2 hours advice from the pros followed by upwards of 9 hours where you can session whatever you’d like and test out your new skills. You’ll be shredding with the best in the business at some of the raddest facilities around.
