TR: Lake Placid 8/30

Was up in Canada for a vacation with the family. The land of big slides and big beer cans:





Convinced them to take a slight detour on the way home.

Coach let me get in with a group of kids from the Stratton mogul team. Probably from 9 to 15 years old.

Trying to blend in with the crowd:

Won't be doing these on the hill anytime soon (read that as never), but a blast none the less. Overall a great day. Awesome to see the kids conquering their fears. Hoping to come back next year with my 9 year old so she can do the same.

Nice

No flips on the hill? why not :lol:

Very cool! How was it jumping into the water like that? A little weird?

And WTF is the deal with that slide??? :lol:

 

[bvibert]

Cool, that looks like a blast. I'd probably chicken out though...

 

[Greg]

You really are just a kid. :lol: Nice job!

A team from Russia was training on the double and triple jumps in the morning. Pretty cool to see.

Sickness:-o:

Looks like you got good at the front flips.

I'd love to wrap my mind around doing this.
Kudos to you!!!
