Pow House Flight

Joe, Toby, Buddy

A standard dawn patrol on a Wednesday morning before work.  Toby and I grabbed fresh tracks in 6" of new in the bowl.  Toby decided he loved his line so much he was gonna give it a great big hug....and I had the camera!

Sweet turns leading into the rollover:

Toby spots a stump just on the other side of the rollover where he needs to make a turn.  Oh well, no other option than to take to the air, "These wings were made for flying!"

Uh-oh.  Seems to be a problem with the landing gear:

And just like that; he's a turtle on it's back:

Buddy comes in for assistance (of course he avoids the rollover), But Toby is back up cranking more turns:

 

Now that's a morning cup of coffee!
