re: #239 jcm

I did that, the slide was on the side of a plateau, it had a road leading up to on the top. You could get a really good head of steam up, the jump out over the the toboggan run and see how far down the hill you touched down. I came blazing down the road one down day, got a magnificent jump looked down the run to spot my landing….. saw a new ditch had been dug across the run at the bottom of the hill.

I had some time to think about how much pain I was going to be in very soon.

I’ll bet you didn’t have to wear a stupid helmet either. I never did when I was a kid. The helmets people wear today here in California just make me laugh……..
