So much adrenaline running through your veins - it's a total rush and that helps keep your body stiff and strong. But not everone is so lucky. If you hit anything at 60-80 MPH shit's gonna break and that aint pretty. Downhill tucking is illegal @ most resorts making it very hard to practice @ high speeds. But, if you are cool (bribe $$$) with the ski patrol and you get out on the hills before the lifts open you can go balls to the wall relatively safely. We did "The Wall" @ Kirkwood at 8 AM when the lifts were closed in 3-4 turns the whole mountain. The G-force from a compression @ 80+ is enough to push your breakfast up to your throat. I look back now and I'm like: "What the fuck were we thinking?" and I wanna do it again. Adrenaline is the best drug in the world and totally natural. But hitting trees is bad.
