Downhill Dummy Race

The Super Sled 9000 was used again this time for the downhill dummy race at Manning. Our dummy was named HELL-ga! She was very fast and had some great style flying down the course heading for the jump.
Here is a group shot minu Richard..

Here is an attempt at a full group shot... unfortunately Richard couldn't quite get in the picture properly before the timer snapped the shot haha.

A shot of HELL-ga on the Super Sled 9000.

The jump...
HELL-ga as she is launching off the jump!

HELL-ga in mid launch, looking like she is going in for a grab.

HELL-ga making a picture perfect landing and still sledding away.

All the dummies were launched at the same time and HELL-ga blew by them, you can really tell how much faster she went as she had already landed and was flying away when the other dummies were finally going off the jump!
A close up of HELL-ga after the race and getting her first place ribbon.. her head and neck were a little damaged, but all was well after some duct tape.

Finally a good group shot!

Fun In Manning

We spent last weekend with my brother and sister in law in Manning Park at my families cabin again. We brought out the newly refurbished Super Sled 9000. The Super Sled 9000 worked well until Richard took it down a very steep slope with a jump in it, he broke several peices on it. Then Marc took it down the same slope and broke some more parts on it, Richard is fixing it up again this week!

The Super Sled 9000 back in action - Gayle giving Ricard a good push before the hill.

Marc giving Richard a push, Richard thought it was a fun idea to sled down the hill backwards!
