Day 62 - Sunny sushy day. Humpty Dumpty firm in the shade. Hutch, Lower Cat Track and Colin ... then S/M ramps at bottom. Moved to Jasey Jay for super fun bumps.

Day 65 - Fun slushy conditions with LeopardSkin on Lions then Eagle ... perfect warm up for afternoon's Slush Cup. I was the first competitor to drop in to the Slush Cup pool and made it half way.

This year the pool is 100 feet long.
Last year it was 70 feet.
Way harder this year.
