...bluebird days go along with the absence of new snow, but are more than tolerable when trying to get filming done. High pressure systems have been residing over the big sky area and we are making the most of it with a step-up just a little out of the way of the mountain traffic. this was a full day endeavor. the jump itself took a solid 2 hours to sculpt, and when it was done it was a slight disappointment. The real hazards of this experience came from the runway, which involved a blind turn going over some thin coverage as fast as possible. There was no way around this however if you wanted to make it up the step-up, so we just dealt with it. I think the snowpack was very uncondusive to hiking early on also, because getting up hill was a combination of walking and swimming. The first half the day we filmed a timelapse of the construction, which came out great with the clouds rolling over top.
I said the jump was a slight disappointment because it wasn't as lofty as it should have been,which had to do with our original placement of the jump- the runway was steep and the transition asked a lot out of your legs, so setup time was last-second. We were hoping for a better collection of trickery possibilities, but the session became a fs 3 fest, which is better than nothing i guess.
After lunch we returned for more, and after a few more times I was good on it. The day coulda been over then, but the repair shop gave me a 12 pack of beer, so we sat and drank in the sun. Not soon after a huck-fest ensued and everything got crazy. By 3 we left to take a few G laps and once thru Siberia to check another spot to build.
Stay tuned to catch all the recent blogpost footage to appear of Chapter 2...
The instrumental LP by Jay Dee, "Donuts" is whats up today with music.....speaking of which here we have Rob Gray eating some Doughnuts in front of the jump that morning.
