today we trudged the 50' to our neighbor's yard to see what the older kids and colder overnight weather did to the jump. changes included a taller lip and more hard-packed run-in. an opportunity for bigger air.
so away i went w/ the shovel, building a berm to keep the sled on target to the lip, and to build the tranny up again (you land in the road, so it was mowed down). i have new-found respect for dirt jumper creators...moving snow was enough work; i imagine dirt ups the factor by several fold.
anyway, enough yammering, let's see some action!
but first, last night's sunset:
here's otis, trying a motowhip w/ the saucer:
miles, thinking about pelting otis w/ snow on the way down:
miles, not so sure about this new jump:
otis off the lip:
houston, we have lift-off:
otis, going into orbit:
miles, winner of the big air competition:

I remember when I would jump off of anything, now I look at those same things and think "hell no, I would break myself."
