Hing oan a meenit...ah'll jist hiv tae find the richt button on ma keyboarrrrd tae converrrrt this text frae Scottish tae UK English.....wheesht fir a meenit.....it's a wee bit stoorrry....(Click) Ah; much better.......right.....
Dear All,
As (probably) one of the first guys to get back home, can I open up by repeating a BIG round of thanks to Chris, the organisers, marshals, supporters, helpers-out, other competitors, and generally everyone who made the Aviemore event a great success. I suspect I'll also be speaking for my two other countrymen who made up the local entry, ('Team JockLuge?...or maybe team ScotLandLuge?.....any other ideas?). We were all 'big race virgins', but the Glenmore road was How To Lose It In Style...in more ways than one!
We really appreciated the advice and support from the more experienced guys, and our times came up to 'respectable' (well, we think they were!) by the end of the weekend. Our 'more appropriate' names started to appear; Douglas Elder became 'Straw Magnet', and 'Flying Scotsman' was mentioned more than once, (though I think that related to my luge-less flight after the Juice Box rather than speed with the luge!)
There were other benefits; we picked up names of a number of Scottish guys interested in starting gravity sports; this would not have happened had this event not taken place. There were no locals in 2001, three this year, so next year....?
One closing favour; can someone from N. Yorkshire area pls. poke Chalky in his least good ankle with a sharp stick. In his Monday am hangover therapy / breakfast session he was planting ideas in my head for two man luges, sidecar gravitybikes etc.....my project list has just got longer.....
Thanks again everybody; it was great! Hope to see you all, and more, next year
J
