Abby getting some filming in for Octane

Not a lot of pics, we were shooting vid mostly.



She set off a hard slab at about 12,200 on sat, it ran down to where we had our bags... but the bags stopped the slide

Yeah Abby!!! send it girl!!

YOU TWO BE CAREFUL WITH SLIDES!!!!!! goodness, one this season it MORE than enough to get caught in, I want to hear no more stories like that!

 

[backcountryislife]

Hey, as long as it's a slide going down a hill where nobody is sitting or riding, and stopping without any danger... I'm all for THAT kind of story!!!


We're planning on another 4 weeks of filming at this point. Not putting the biggest stuff up, Ab went a ways past 100 on sat... good day!
