Hey guys,
it was a beautiful day out, so I rounded up my vid/photo guys and went and threw down on this drop, right around 20'. I didn't quite have the speed to clear it all the way and came up short, but there is always tomorrow...:cool: ....

Looks like fun. My winter season is all finished. Just got to wait to start building trails. Bring on Spring.

Heck yeah I can't wait till April to build at Steeple...plus I'm in the process of gettin' some fancy new camera gear that I want to try out there...:D

BUT while there is snow and I can't ride I'll continue to throw myself off everything I can with my sled...:D

We used to climb the old mines in the U.P. and drop in on the boards. That used to be a blast.

hahaha, I need to find some monster drops with this thing...well...maybe 20' is enough. What I would really like is a nice wide open hill with waist deep powder to carve in! Expect pics this weekend of a pretty big double I have slowly been building...should be like a 18'-20' gap! Mad River Rocket already has my new sled on the way!!! WOOOHOOOOO HUGE props to them, they could have simply said to bad you broke it, but nope they mailed a replacement out this morning so I'll have it by Friday for the weekend...now that is a KICK ASS company! www.madriverrocket.com (http://www.madriverrocket.com/)

Here is a pic of the damage, big enough to fit my hand through then cracks all over on that side...:hit:

Nice man, they are called Mad River Rockets. check out this link www.mardriverrocket.com (http://www.mardriverrocket.com)
I have done it all with these things, tow ins, drops, rails, pow, jumps, bombin' glades...anything you can do on skis! Super fun!!!! I wish I could make it out west or east(they've got a sh!t load of snow this winter) and rip some big mountain stuff on it...
