Haha I enjoyed that more than all the park based snowboarding videos, looking forward to the big reveal!

You must have hit Towers early, I was riding it yesterday arvo and if you tried a speed run in the condition it was in you would spend more time in the air than on the ground.

Pretty quick. From being on a motorbike, I’d guess you were going between 60-80. Knowing the app, you probably broke the 100km mark (app is always quite a bit over the actual speed).

It was so fast that I had farted at the top of the run by the time I was on the lift on the way up I smelt it whafting it ways down.

But seriously it would of been following Jezza and Finney in Whistler. Some good runs those days.

nice one.

the go pro angle does more justice to the speed you’re actually going, where as a handheld just doesn’t cut it.

now for the big 100!

Freddy had a damn good crack as we were first ones down towers on both monday and tuesday mornings. No fancy app but he go-proed it. He was absolutely flying. Will upload soon and you can see for yourselves!
One of the runs, a skier cut across without looking up the hill, despite the sign saying to do so, freddy hit the brakes but couldn’t do anything, and took the guys legs out from under him. It was absolutely hectic and so lucky no one was hurt!
