That last one was a "Real Fantastic One". Looks to me as if the snow is starting to cause cabin fever up North.
Torp --the first one has a nice twist now add a flip!
lol, we've been outside a lot shoveling. We needed something to break up the monotony . Well, actually, we went up there to shovel some of the heavy snow of the roof. Then we decided to add some more fun to it. |

Nat wouldn't let me.  Nope, no back flips for you off of a slippery roof. I might let you do a forward flip, though. Nat, According to my former-gymnast wife, back-flips are safer because you can see where you are going to land as you come around. |

Nat, According to my former-gymnast wife, back-flips are safer because you can see where you are going to land as you come around. My biggest concern is the push-off. The roof is much slipperier than it looked. A back flip tends to need more "oomph" to get off the ground (or roof, as the case may be), and that combined with a slippery, sloped "foundation" doesn't seem like a good mix. But thanks for the reassuring info.  |

I've known that I'm crazy - and Kev, too, for that matter - for a looooooooooooooong time! It was actually nice out when those vid clips were taken. Comparing that to the -40º weather we had just about a month ago, it seemed almost like summer.  |
