Will add to this after our "freeze ride" on Friday (high of 62), but wanted to show you Geri's w2w HS BS 180 attempts.....awesome & so close to landing!

Oh & in the 2nd one, the boat stopped a little quicker than I expected and I ended up in the floor (explains the video pic)!

Daaaaannnng! You go girl! That was so stinkin' close! Loved the falling off the seat, too - it adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the filming. Kat, you need to pass the camera off, too, so there is some footage of you. Tear it up girls! Wishing I was there...

Whew - looks chilly! I can't believe you are totally hitting that rail! How awesome is that?!? Was this your first time hitting sliders?

Sure does look like fun - at least the sun is out. Thanks for the pics Kat!

Those turned out great Kat...thanks!! Kat's right...I had no energy left to try anything new after a week of heavy riding/training. I was pretty spent. But it was fun to just do a little free riding Friday with Kat and Jen.

Liz...I have done sliders before. OWC was fun but I took a huge face plant first time around and pulled a muscle or tendon on the inside of my thigh. I kept riding but can't bring my leg up now and it hurts big time. Still icing it...but the foot held up fine. Guess I will be resting for a couple weeks

But what an awesome trip.
