Happy Birthday! ... you know who you are.
Longboard Races! This weekend.
14' boards strapped to the feet of some very enthusiastic individuals... a very big hill (with snow on it)... a big log in their hand (used as a brake)... a starting pistol... and down they go!! Some reach speeds of 88mph!!! Are they insane?!? Ok,Ok... it's a straight shot down the mountain... no turns to navigate... no but when they reach the bottom of the hill....THEY HAVE TO STOP!!! They stop by sticking a big log into the snow. Now... my brain instantly asks... what happens if your log breaks...or you drop our log? What is going STOP you? Maybe you don't stop. Maybe you slide all the way to Graeagle (9miles away). Maybe you are never heard from again. Who knows? All I know is... neither God or Darwin has placed 14' boards on my feet. No where in my evolutionary process or spiritual beliefs have I found the need to slide 88mph down a hill.
So... with all that said... Ya'll have fun! I'll stand at the bottom of that hill...camera in hand... and wait for your moment of adrenalin enhanced glory to be over. I am sure I will giggle at the spectacle of speed you will make of yourself. My camera will rapidly click away, documenting each high speed moment. Of course, my photos will be used for future entertainment, as I will surely share my photos with a very large number of people. Especially once they have been photoshopped and adjusted to meet the needs of humor.
Sunday, March 15, 2009 is the day.
More to come.
