PostThu Jan 27, 11 10:59 am    La Ventana Classic 2011 – Slingshot Update! Reply with quote

This year had to be one of the biggest and most attended by far and Slingshot was well on hand with support, stoke, and demos for all that were able to make the trip! One of the many highlights of the event was at the beginning of the week with the start of the annual Burning Bush. With a good vibe and fire bugs to get the party started the disco-tech near the beach was ultra sick! Lots of mesquite wood structures to burn, free roaming scorpions and random fire artscapes to blur the mind and with an added well rounded line up of rad tunes to get the vibe in line, the people of the night dance till the break of dawn.

The next score of the week was a fishing trip that Dave Smith organized with a local La Ventana fisherman to go on the hunt for the massive schools of Tuna that migrate throughout the Sea of Cortez.

The rest of the story and photos can be found at...
