The response to the Amplid Ambush Academy was incredible. Within a month the ARC had recieved hundreds of applications from talented riders wanting to be a part of the Academy for the 2012/13 season. Recieving the applications was the easy part; it then took an entire week to sort the applications and with the help of Amplid’s Cartel International riders whittle down the applicants to 20 successful skiers and 17 snowboarders. The successful riders had to be athletes we could imagine alongside McRae, Steve, John, Justin, Dima, Pako, Luka, Teddy and Dash on the Cartel team roster; riders who are at that level now and riders with the potential to develop into these riders in the future. We’re super stoked and very proud to present the class of 2012/13:
