The golden nalgeen is more useful on the drive down to Gold Beach however.

Even the pros get a little low down feelin' when learning loops. Here's Robby Swift and Levi Lenz with a little ditty on doubles:

i can't say i am overly motivated to go for the double, i need to first get bored of regular single loops. the stall looks pretty neat though. i always thought there was the into the wind steep backie ramps, and off the wind fwd ramps. BP says the backie ramp is best for the stalled fwd though. so time to give it a go. :wink:
