long weekend vaycay.

Serious bonerjam last night in Ellsworth when I got a ticket for following too closely on a super trooper.

The Alpine Slide had me all jazzed up.

[dmartin]

haven't been in years, but the alpine is a blast.  Always had a small fear that a renegade (and suicidal) chipmunk was going to throw himself in front of my slide and cause a horrendous tragedy.

when the bobsled turns come up I would freak out that my knee would hit the cement and I would be eaten alive on the mt. by a pack of curious bears.

So I noticed in the picture, Kat Kid has some bob huggins hair going on there.

check that out!

I just got back from CO the weekend before last with 3 other dudes.  Drove right by winter park and went to Rocky Mt. National Forest.  The sightlines are fooking amazing there.

but the drive &@#%ing makes me want to stab my eyes out......from KC it is 10+ hours to get to denver, barring little to no stops. It sucks. Big Time.

I've got an uncle that lives across the valley from there and we were out visiting him a couple years ago. Hadn't been on an alpine slide since I was 7, and I had to ride with someone then.  Yeah, that thing rocks, especially with the added thrill knowing that I was the last rider for the day because it was starting to snow and the track might start to get slippery.  They told me if it did, just stop and start walking down.  Screw that.  I didn't spend $10 to walk down a hill.  Full speed ahead!

Just as an FYI, the town where that guy welded himself into the modified bulldozer/tank thing a couple years ago and went nuts on the town is about 7 or 8 miles down the road.  Its probably not still in the impound yard, but the little bit of it that was showing when I was there was pretty cool looking.

Excellent thread KK

Just went there this summer that long road to get into WP sux. When you went on the slide was there a really manly woman workin up there w/ the deepest voice ever. she scared the crap outta me.

When my brother and I were about eight or nine we went on the slides at Breckenridge.  For whatever reason they put this ancient old lady who had never been before on the fast track instead of the slow one.  Now my brother is a total conscienceless thrill whore; even as a kid I don't think he ever even touched the brakes.  So they make my brother wait like several minutes, and then they're like, "Okay, go as fast as you want."

Naturally halfway down the mountain my brother, who is blazing along in hyperspace, rams the hell out of the ancient old lady who is crawling down the mountain at like 2 mph.  I was behind him, so I didn't see the collision, but when I got to the bottom she was threatening to sue my family. 

I think we just high-tailed it.  What a dumb geriatric b*tch.

On the way up saw a 30 year old beer leaguer ram some pre-pubescent raisenette.  Pretty special imo.
