A large chunk of the crew recently moved into a big house out in East Boulder. At the housewarming party my friends at Green Guru brought out a big stash of their vinyl supply to make a giant slip and slide! I lent my photo skills to capture some of the water sprayin’ body flingin’ action! We started things off with some races: kinda like slip-n-slidercross.
While it was possible to go down just on bare skin, random bumps and rocks in the field led to many bumps and bruises, as you can see me finding out right here.
Thermarests offered a much smoother ride.
Justin doing his crazy action redneck impression.
I had a 4 strobe setup that I was able to ride out to the farm with in a small backpack. I never was really sure how the photo was going to come out, based upon how far down the run the sliders were. Love how Billy is blacked out with water spray illuminated in his face in this shot.
Unfortunately, no ladies lost their bikini tops in the making of this photo.
Awesomeness^3
The giant tube was brought out near the end, but it didn’t offer quite the speed that we were looking for.
FACEPLANT!
Not to be outdone, I made a few attempts at surfing the Thermarest. This is the look of me being psyched that I’m actually staying up for 5 seconds.
As you can see, this was a pretty rockin’ way to spend a summer evening. I’m sure we’ll be setting this up bigger and better in the future. I think that a first slip n slide descent of the First Flatiron should be next on the list.
