There they are sitting there as if they had been there for an eternity.
Coming and going, but always there. I come down and sit patiently
awaiting my turn, planning my next move. Like an avalanche they began to
rip down the mountain nailing this huge snow made kicker. They flew off,
grabbing, spinning, and tweaking in all which ways. The park is open
now. It's the kicker and me. I start down, balance my speed and launch.
Spinning: 180, 360, 540 and landing hard, but shocked for I pulled an
amazing trick, which is great for a rookie of my stature. This
was more than I could have asked for. I
sat for a moment to find my breath. My adrenalin was off
the chart. I got up and began descending to the basin. I looked up
once last time to let sink in what
happened up there to day. Then I called it quits and went to put some
ice on my ankle.
