GTing the Third; The Final Pioneer

Our last stint of the 05/06 GTing season was at out friend Marcel's place in Barrie Ont. He and his brother had made a run beside their house that went down to the lake. It was frozen you goof!

It was a sweet run with the usual dangers. This time it was a tricky turn that left you falling ten feet onto the frozen lake if you did make it. Good times. Marcel joined us on his snowboard.

It was a great day. We had much fun and we did more filming for the GTing documentary.

Gravity defiance is key when your with the GT Snow Racer Team.

Of course there was the usual wipe outs and what not. Below Marcel nearly hit me as he sprawled out of control.

As the sun set it made for some sweet pics!!


LOOK! We're jumping over the sun!!!!


The classic Look-Back...

Well, that's all for this season. But don't worry, the crazy boys from Alliston are still going about our craziness. I can't tell you what it is yet for security reasons, but I'll be sure to post pics for all you wonderfull fans just as soon as I can. Steve out! And remember, keep the shiny side down!!!

GTing Part 2

And now for the continuation of "The Art Of GTing"!!!!!
If you haven't read part 1 (previous post) then you should.
Now on with the show!!

So we grew tired of the wee hill in the park cause, in the GTing community Bigger is always Better!! So we visited the local Golf Course to find a better hill...

We found the perfect spot on the 7th tee off. With a lot of work we built an even bigger jump than before and this time we were able to use the bottom half of the hill as a landing. Much smother than before, and no brick wall to hit if you landed out of control. Below, Jacob is attemping to tackle Andrew right before he hits the ramp.

To give you a proper perspective on how big the gap is, (gap = the distance between the ramp and the landing) the picture below gives you a better idea. Basically, Gaz man's cavalier would fit nicely.

More prespectiveication...

and again...

ok, enough already!

After we launched off it the first time we realized that this was no ordinarily jump. No, this was the Mother of all of'em!!

There was a few casualties, but no fatalities.

Sometimes even getting to the jump was nearly impossible. What with a insanely steep run down to the jump that was almost a free fall!! Below Andrew plummeted out of control and came to rest on top of the monster.

It wasn't just us taking a beating! Our equipment suffered as well. Note below the shattered ski. Luckily Team Noma GT Snow Racer gave us their full factory support.

Once we over came our fears things started to go better.

But there still was a few scary moments. Below Zak is about to face plant into the snow as he lands without his GT SNow Racer underneath him.

But we still kicked it up a notch cause heck, we are crazy GTer's!!

Things got real crazy when we jumped so high that the screen wasn't big enough anymore!! below: note the top right corner.

You know, like in those video games that when you jumped ridiculously high that you went off of the screen....ya??

"I can see my house from here"!!

In the end we jumped over top of each other, a shovel standing up-right, and some guy cross-country skiing. If Drew's car actually was on the hill, we would have jumped over it, most of the time anyway.

Stay tuned for even more GTing adventures with, those Crazy Guys from Alliston!!!!
