hahahaha.  It's kind of a trail to nowhere.  I'm assuming that she's fine?

crank the throttle and hit the brakes later!    8)

the one lone track w/ no follow up attempts is the best part.   :D

Yahoooooo!

Been there, done that (as a kid).  Way to go!  I sincerely hope she's okay; but this is the stuff best childhood memories are made of.

On a sadder note, I do hope she learns better.  A dive into cold water with thick, heavy winter clothing can be deadly.  Lost a neighbour that way in the Rippowam River when we were kids. 

'Nuff said.  I don't want to spoil the grin brought on by her tobaggan daring-do.  Tell that girl to take a run for me!  ;D

It's actually a 75ft drop to the beach :o  she did manage to stop at the top for most of the day...............
............there was one ride where things got a bit sketchy. But hey, that's what helmets are for right?

That's not snow on the westcoast is it? A sign of the coming apocolypse? Seriously though, what island are you on? All that white stiff has got to be a shock to the system.

Gabriola! Nice, you lucky devil. I lived in Vancouver for a decade, I love the west coast.
