Dubois, WY Trip (Xmas-New Year [08-09]) *pics*

Old pics, finally got them edited and upped.
Along w/ a video. PB butchered the quality of the video...but you get the idea.

LINKY

Just whipped up a .gif from part of that vid..i don't have the source, so the quality is crap. But it was fun to learn and do none the less.

edit: so apparently the image host i used is fail..lol so no gif.

the last pic?

well, i didn't have the rubber piece in the saddle of the ski, so the ski wanted to "fall/tip foward" when it was off the snow (in the air)...
i was in deep pow, skis were in the air..they came down..'hooked' the snow, and the ski twisted around as seen.
bent up the steering rod, and broke the top a-arm joint.
was a bummer, it was a great day and area we were venturing into was gettin deep..least it was the last day of the trip.

it was really quite a stupid mistake..specially considering i did the exact same thing all over again on the next trip/ride, then i figured out what was the real issue was..

just a tip, theres good reason to keep the ski tips UP or at least straight when there in the air!
