Hey, you know what?  I am really enjoying f*cking flying down this mountain at 60-80 mph laying back on light-weight fiberglass supported by 2 f*cking 50-inch razor blades.  Its thrilling, its scary, it is extreme, and oh so fun.... but you know what would make it just a little better, and… Read full post »
