      .......... braver than I also ........  🙃

Loved the change of emotions from start to finish. 
 

When I was a kid my brother and I were best friends and daredevils. We would do lots of crazy stuff with our friends. Usually our friends came up with the ideas and my brother and I would be the first to try them. 
 

I am pretty sure that in the same situation as that little girl I would have probably sounded pretty much the same, though I am not so sure I would have followed through.

"Just a bigger twenty."  From which I gather she's done jumps from the shorter run.  So, not hr first JUMP, but her first from that.   

 

Little movement of the camera, so I'd say that she held her position on the run.

First and only time I tried skying, got off the lift onto ice.. the snow had melted and frozen solid. Told my friend we’d meet in the bar. I proceeded to sit on my a** and carefully slide my way down the mountain.

Never got the opportunity to snow ski!  Wish I had!  I’da probably tried ski jumping. I’ve tried to jump everything else, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, even a boat! 🤪

I still get up the mountain every year or so on my board. Take the kids up into the Rockies to get that mountaintop view.

 

Tech has changed but my old Burton still works for what we do. And unless I do something drastically wrong I don't fly no more. 

 

But that woohoo feeling is sure worth the effort!

Probably, but today I wouldn’t be up there. 

 

A man has got to know his limitations.

Yup, back then, one of us would've been first and rest to follow. Even if the first guy crashed, the rest of us now knew what not to do!!!

I might have done that when I was a lot younger. You'd have somehow drag me up there and push me off to get me to go down that ramp these days....then I'd demonstrate how a senior citizen can scream like a 4th grade girl.

[watab kid]

im not doing it either

I was a pretty good skier in high school and college.

 

I quit the day we were skiing Brighton east of Salt Lake and two kids about 10 or 11 years old passed me like I'd stopped for lunch.

 

I finished the run and never skied again.

In my 20's I skied with my pop and he'd keep up. Better skill from a lifetime of slopes.

 

Now I'm in my mid 50's skiing with my late teen and mid 20's kids and I realize how much ego I need to keep up with these kids.

 

So I'm as good once as I need to be to show em it can be done. Then it's hot tub time

I was a rabid road and off road bicycle fan.  On the road I could easily out perform my teen aged son and his friends.  Off road a different story, since they are or were immortal and I had to go to work on Monday.  It isn't courage, it is common sense.  They heal faster as well.
