Swoosh!!!

This is one of those blogs where recorded action speak so much louder than typed words. Or rather, where visceral, heart-pounding, adrenalin fueled action shrieks so much louder than words.
We had 10 cm of snow last night and today the temperature never got above - 4 celsius. In other words, ideal weather to bust out the sleds and make another bid for the Tenjin-cho (frozen) land speed record. Readers easily frightened by those of us who, in the immortal words of one Mr. Jon Bon Jovi, like living on a prayer, may want to refrain from watching. As may well those of you who suffer from car sickness.
First up is our 'crash and roll' episode.


 Followed by our 'near collision'.



Not content with the 'need for speed', Cian went airborne. Kind of.



And finally, pushing the envelope.
