So? Are you okay?

Gotta watch out for those things jumping out at you. :nod:

[Joe Gardner]

Yeah, took the groomer back to the bottom. I like the snow on the lens effect, especially the part where heather goes flying by me without a clue in the world...

I'm a helmet kind of guy, the board has an impact crater, I got my breath knocked out of me and a throat full of snow. I was only good for another 4 runs after the crash. Think I'll sit it out until the next storm.

Ouch! :lol8: Easy to laugh watching it through this end of the lens. Was this today?

[Last Child]

Ouch man! Those trees can be hazardous to your health. Glad you are okay!

Yesterday. We only go on Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays... ;)

I went back to the scene of the crime a few hours later. The little drop was wind swept ice. Patrol put out the warning sticks at the top... On a powder day, that spot becomes a 10 - 15' jump with plenty of room to correct before the trees.

The more I watch the video, the more my neck and head hurt. :ne_nau:

More importantly, how's the camera? :haha:

I think we call that "pulling a Sonny Bono."

[bbennett]

I think we call that "pulling a Sonny Bono."

Or "Man, he totally Danza'd that tree". :lol8:

[blueeyes]

Ouch! Don't do that... it hurts.

[DiscGo]

Man, that sucks! You can totally see that there was that little tree you didn't expect and then bam. I hope you are alright. I love that you got this on film.

[greyhair biker]

you had amazing control...I'd have been saying a few choice words :lol8:
