Never expect things to happen as planned, but always make the best of them. That was the lesson learned today. After the original plans fell through, I quickly arranged new ones. Jack was way ahead of me this morning, having already skated Mt. Philo, and Irish Hill by 7 am. He was excited when I mentioned a new hill for DH. This hill is classified. Since we had no driver, we had to hike the mile or so to the top. By the second run we were pretty tired of walking, but I drove Jack, so could have one last run. Some course maintenance was needed around a rocky corner, but other than that, we had some awesome runs. Jack fine tuned his stance around left handed sweepers, while I worked on sticking my 90 degree rights. Jack was hitting the 90 degree right hander at 40 mph. Crazy kid!
After some downhill runs, I took him back to his place, and grabbed some much needed food. Then I grabbed the Gl1 and tripod to do some solo filming at the White Barn hairpin. Be on the look out for that footage, as well as footage from BCC, Overook, and UVM.
See you on the hill
