~Sunday's Acrobats~

[CoyoteGirl]

On Friday I put out the call on Facebook that I was looking for Acrobats to take pictures of on Sunday. A couple of guys, who have inappropriately chosen the name NorthWest Amateurs, answered and did NOT disappoint!

How the day started

One

Then two

Then three

And then holy crap!

But it didn't stop him from doing this

Then a little warm up

How about 66mph off a booter?

I couldn't even see where he landed

I think we are warm now!

Then the end of the day..

And why not?

Oh Lord....if sled technology was only what it is today when I was 22 and pre-broken-bones-and surgeries..

The skidoo formula plus was a model T compared today's sleds.

Nice work. Enjoy it boys and girls. Just take care of your body. Crutches and surgeries suck.

Wow, really nice riding and pics. I stayed out of the hills last weekend because of the high avy danger warnings on NWAC. They made note of how dangerous the corniches are becoming too. That one sure was tested...

 

[Luke45]

Yeah it was sliding pretty bad on saturday...But Sunday it wasn't nearly as bad, it had gotten really cold saturday night, so that might be why it wasn't as bad on sunday..

made note of how dangerous the corniches are becoming too. That one sure was tested...

I was watching some of the bigger cornices and they would have a chunk fall off and roll down the hill with no one touching them. Luckily the snow underneath was solid and so nothing else was moving.

. Crutches and surgeries suck.

No kidding. I kinda felt bad for how badly these guys were limping at the end of the day... but they were still grinning!

I am still sporting a couple bruises, but can't wait for another go.
And don't worry about the leg, my knee is made of titanium!

my knee is made of titanium!

literally...haha

We rode Lake Anne/Van Epps the weekend before and the only big slides were from corniches collapsing. There were ice blocks as big as a van mixed in. You guys(girls) are safe and that is all that matters. I can't think of a bigger man made trigger than 3 sleds in a big drop though. If it didn't slide from that you are good to go. The avy report was talking about 6 foot deep wet slides and those are killers so we stayed home. And it sucked to not ride. Again, great riding and photography. It is awesome when someone has the skills to catch someone being awesome.

Made you turn around didn't it! lol
All I could think was "thanks Ethan" that one had me a little on edge as it was! I wasn't sure what speed to carry so I did the 5mph rule...do what you think you should do, but add 5mph!

And thank you for all the compliments! We appreciate the feedback.
We are working on getting our site up soon, but in the meantime please check out our FaceBook page!
