Nov 6, 2010, - Benton City Junk

Only reporting this 'cause I shot off my mouth and said I was doin it.  Anyway, it's always been about the glidin and slidin, right?  Skateboarding and land luge led to hangliding and sailplanes.  Skiing was always in there, water and snow.  Somewhere in there, sand got added and decent pitches of boot turns on snow were sought out.  Always wanted to do junk, but the right place and time hadn't come along yet.  Still hasn't.  worked it hard the other day, but the damp silty soil between the native grass clumps was just too grabby.  even in places where slope rollover approached 40 degrees, a brief acceleration on wet grass was quickly staunched...  you ever carried a good momentum onto a 40 dg slope to a sudden stop.?  Letty didn't get any pictures of that, but here's a couple of others.

Now put a solid frost on this hill, and you got a whole n'other ball game..

t'was windy on top


some slidin possible - in 2000 vertical, had probably no more than 400 of glidin and all that was jerky
