... Will be attending First Descents camps this summer thanks to the competitors in the 2009 EddyFlower Vertical Challenge. Over 180 competitors on 40 teams representing 13 states rallied to raise $34,324.91 during the 32 day event.

Keep the season stoke rollin' with all the videos from this link, vimeo.com/4523544, and then check out the top 20 competitors for individual donations and our top team for donations.
