O.K. so these are the photo's most of you have been waiting for, i saved the best for last, it's the Jumps!
One of Doc's earlier attempts of the week. He claims to have caught an edge, or something. He did stay upright tho.
Unfortunately I hit the button a bit late on this one, as you can see from Ti'gs landing, he had actually got some good air, although the landing was a bit "bumpy".
"Mr In-Control" finds a little bit of air.
Now that's good Air!!! Tig even controlled the landing..
This was a fun jump as the landing was easy, so it was easier to give it a bit of welly.
What Billy lacked in style, he more than made up for with enthusiasm.
And he kept us all amused, whilst grinning himself.
Tig twigged later on in the week why I've always done "Spread Eagle" jumps, it simply makes it look like you've got more air than you have. ;p
Billy followed both Tig and Doc over this jump. Unfortunately i (once again) missed him in the air, and got him bouncing off the ground.
and bouncing some more...
with a bit of sliding down hill thrown in for good measure. As I said earlier, he kept us laughing all week.
The return of the Flying Doctor.
You can just tell this is not going according to plan....
Ooops! What do you do when the Doctor injures himself?
Send Billy to the rescue of course. Mark soon decided his injury wasn't actually that bad.
Now that's a jump!
Of course, the Doc couldn't quite muster Tig's style.
and then there was Billy. ;)
Good jump though. See what i mean about doing a "spread eagle".
Apparently it was the local festival the following week, the loon's we're just arriving as we we're waiting for the train. The ski gear put Tig's hat and my jacket to shame....
Roll on next year, although it may be a different pace of holiday next year, as I've promised to take Gemma (my seven year old daughter with me).
