...So we scramble to the top of "The Pile", strap in, and drop off. Considering the length and height of approach, the time spent aloft is not great. But it provides enough lift to be able to try a few tricks that are scary when one is ten feet in the air, landing on rock-hard ice pack, as is the case with the mongo kickers in the terrain parks. Oh, the music? It is a well-known fact that the best tricks are performed in time with punk-rock or raggae. Not a big raggae fan, I am only left with misunderstood punk-rockers and their surprisingly upbeat summations of their crummy lives. Works for me.In parting, I must quote a sticker I saw on a snowboard the other day at A-basin. "Stupid should hurt" Fitting. After all, if it didnt hurt, how would we know that it was stupid enough to merit doing in the first place?
