"Unofficial" backflip day - TOMORROW!

Alright, so earlier in the week I started a thread talking about how fun backflips were.


And now, after discussing it with friends I/we have decided to make tomorrow, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) Backflip Day. I would like this to become an annual event, getting the global ski community to recognize it, but since this is it's first year and it's tomorrow, I am saying this one is "unofficial'. just testing the waters.

So, everyone should throw at least one backflip tomorrow, and get someone who has never done a backflip to try (land?) at least one.



HAPPY BACKFLIP DAY!

Aren't you guys down in the states on Spring Break? Canada has had Spring Break during the week of St. Patrick's Day since I was a wee little lad. That was a big part of the reason as to why I chose the 17th.

Well, that and everyone gets a bit of liquid courage after a beer or two... (for those that until tomorrow haven't done a backflip)

Haha, yeah specifically because if you're on spring break in canada it means you're still in high school too = not legal age to be drinking. Although some uni's are different....
