But on Sunday of Moosefest '08, I finally got one back.
As they say for the Monster Truck Rally....Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!
My first run occurred about a year ago. Lets just say I got right and never recovered. I was subbed out when I rolled the lip, and was whited out till I landed. I flipped, rolled up beyond the walls, was missing and elbow pad and my dignity.
After watching some really great runs since, I decided to give it a go on Saturday of Moosefest (not my least hungover day on the river). I was giving it a really good go, and actually thought I had killed the line as I was much further left of my previous decent. But right as I reached the rolling lip, my boat caught the worlds smallest eddy, and started spinning my boat. It literally spun my boat at the lip, and continued to until I was completely backwards upon landing. I flipped but was not hurt, nor did i really hit anything. Again, a little piece of me died.
(Saturday's Line)And then their was Sunday. By this point, I was so juiced up to run it that I really don't remember much other than spotting my landing and thinking "this was almost better when I wasn't able to see where I was landing". I wouldn't say it was the best line I have ever seen there, but it sure pumped me up. The rest of Team SPED had an awesome weekend on the rapid. I can't wait to go back and do it again!
Cheers!
