The September Blog Project - #21
I played around with the ramp this morning and gave is a v1 try. I put it pretty close to the whale and overshot it by a bunch, which made the landing dangerously close to tail of the whale. After that I moved it back but was somewhat chicken shit to send it. I will need to have a safety in between the launch and the whale, because I really don't want to case this and go ass over tea kettle. I'm thinking my ramp needs to be a tad steeper because I think this is setup to be more of a vertical thing that horizontal. Sometimes I am really pretty good at this but in this case I admit I don't know what I'm doing.
This is before I placed the jump.
I also got a haircut today. Carson will be happy.
Julia and I went out to P'Burg tonight to watch the girls volleyball team play. She has a friend on the team and of course Kirt's daughter is on the team, so we hung out and watched the game. This is also where I went to high school but I had never seen this new campus, and holy shit it is something else. Absolutely gorgeous place.
Driving through that area is really weird for me now. It's literally a lifetime ago when I lived out there and so much has changed, even if so much is the same. Lots of memories, across the spectrum. I guess this is what they really call nostalgia. Sort of memories of a previous life but also a little sad? I have no idea why I would be sad. Maybe because I'm old. No idea.
Anyway, they girls won, which was cool.
