Tiny brain also helps. ;-) Guts-wise, it's little different from bombing a canyon or col road at 85+kph, though I haven't yet been able to get myself to tuck down the start of the Grizzly course. Maybe with a groomed, closed course, which I'm never prone to get... (If someone were to go through the trouble of closing the course for little old me, I'd swallow my fear and do the sucker.) All it really takes is a love for speed, g-forces and strong legs (and the necessary ski skill). ...and the sound of the wind as you accelerate. Really cool. ;-) -- Mike __________________________________________________ ______ "Colorado Ski Country, USA" Come often, Ski hard, Spend *lots* of money, Then leave as quickly as you can.
