Today was nice, I got up early and got some schtuff done. Then my friends came and picked me up to go tubing at Nordic! WHOO! The whole thing was totally epic, but there was one run that was BEYOND memorable! So, the guy at the top of the hill decided that the one run that I wanted to go down first on (we line up and hold on to each others tubes), He would suggest to my idiotic friends that we go down on our bellies! On average, you can get up to around
50 MPH going down the hill. THAT'S TERRIFYING WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR BELLY! So here we were at the top of the hill, holding on to each others legs, getting a
face full of butt, ready for the ride of our lives. And off we go! There was nothing more terrifying than being three feet in the air on your belly while going 50 mph down a snowy hill. Eyes leaking, hat trying to fly off of my head, hearing the screams of my friends behind me. I came SO CLOSE to peeing myself. HONESTLY. I thought I was going to need to change my undies!For those of you who don't know, here's a pic of the tubing area. (I don't own the pic, I got it from google.)
Yeah... WWAAAYY up there is where we started. And you can't see it in the picture, but about 50 feet behind there, sits a BIG dirt hill to sto
p people from becoming road kill.

We were probably still going around
10-15 mph when we reached that hill. I went
u first, followed closely by my crazy companions, and for just a moment, I swear,
time froze. Froze like our toes, noses, and other parts I'm still trying to thaw. And for that moment, we all just looked at each other, eyes wide, mouths open, the look of "OH SHIT" painted on our faces, before swiftly being piled at the bottom of the hill. Tubes and bodies collided in a massive
bruised pile. IT WAS
EPIC.
We all survived, and didn't need to change my undies.
Worth every terrifying penny.
stay cool ( I know I am!)
