new crash pad instruction links

I talked to a guy today about crash pads - he loves his voodoo pad but he's having trouble with his top piece of closed cell foam creasing. To avoid this problem you'll have to train your foam from the very beginning & store your pad open when not in use. Below are a couple of links with information on how to care for your VooDoo Crash Pad.

How to secure your velcro flaps when you're out playing in the dirt:

Remember if you store your pad open - the foam lasts so much longer. If your foam is already creased & beyond repair you can switch out the bottom layer with the top layer. If that doesn't work give us a call, we sell replacement pieces of foam. Please feel free to contact me with any questions gina@voodooholds.com

blobjects

Blobjects and Beyond was a major exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art and we were asked to be part of the exhibit. You can't imagine how psyched we were! Here is a link to the VooDoo Climbing Hold pages 142 & 143 of the Blobjects & Beyond book printed for the exhibition

Fall

Fall is my favorite season and there is no place I‘d rather be than right here in Flagstaff. We spent Saturday bouldering at the Priest Draw with Susan, Marguerite & Issac - perfect weather, fun problems and great company. On Sunday we went for a 20 mile mtn bike ride with Art & Mary to check out the Aspens changing color. The scenery was spectacular and we had a lot of fun riding with our friends. After the ride we headed home and I made a delicious potato leek soup and we sampled Frank’s latest IPA on tap- yuuuummm - really, his best IPA ever! Drove out east to cut a bunch of firewood yesterday - an all day affair but totally worth it now that the chilly nights are here. Off to Utah this weekend for the Moab Century Tour http://www.skinnytirefestival.com/ - I think it’s going to be another great weekend.
