SOL Snaps: Photos From Kamp KOME '96

Kamp KOME Live in Progress Noah Brandon and Morgan LaFonte waiting to sign in to ride the monster ramp. Snowboarders began arriving at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California at about noon today for On Board Entertainment's big air demo and concert. It took us about three hours to find a phone line that was next to a power plug. It's amazing how the little things in life are so hard to find at an "alternative" festival. Now we're finally situated in the medical tent, which means we're surrounded by Northern California's finest professional partiers. Some stumble in. Other are brought in unconscious. Mike Basich, Shane Charlibois, Blair Rusin, Barrett Christy, and Tina Basich are but a few of the riders hucking themselves off the man-made ramp.

The Girls on the Lawn Mountain View locs throwin' signs on the lawn during the break between Dishwalla and the Goo Goo Dolls. The crowd is definitely rocking. (That's sounds pretty lame, huh? Yeah, too bad Styx isn't playing.)
