Yesterday was even better. I guess my mindset has finally adjusted to skiing big spring bumps in December.

Weird.

I'll give you credit you got a vid of one clean run down Ike. But that's it.

I appreciate that you gave me the option of editing that out, but it would have ruined the spirit of the day.

Much fun gang.
Greg has a knack for catching people when they fall, maybe he has some sort of mind control or something...

Guys in the Vid.

Greg - I didn't know you where so good. You rip the bumps.
DMC - I know nothing about snowboarding technique, but my eyes and common sense tell me you're great at it.
JimmyG. - Even though we had never met it felt like I was meeting up with an old friend. You have very strong technique, it's easy to see why you have a level 3 certification.
2knees - you are nice. I love your old school bang em out, balls to the wall bump style. I enjoyed our conversation on the chair. You have alot of dedication, hope you make it to Whiteface.
SOD - the boy can turn them for sure. Those where the first bumps we skied this season, he's even better with a little pratice. Yeah, I know I'm his father, but he really is good.
HPD - was very sore, but happy the next day.
Good times had by all...wish I could have stayed for another beer, but family life said it was time to go.

That was an awesome time, thanks for setting it up Greg. I'll have to come to more of these and learn myself some technique on them bumps!

Yep, Hawkshot99 is correct, I have the footage. The only problem it was taken with a helmet cam, there is no zoom on a helmet cam . I tried working on the vid a bit yesterday, however work emergencies keep on getting in the way. I'll try and get that done ASAP.
