    First Descent on Mt St. Helen's?

    Did I miss something here?

    How has this not made it over here from TAY? Or maybe it has?

    As claims for first descents go, this one actually has more legitimacy than some. I can't imagine anyone else would admit to having done this. Can you say BFF? (As in Banff Film Fest, although the other meaning applies as well.) Given the longstanding tradition of climbing Helens on Mother's Day in drag, I figure this is especially appropriate for this week. The only remaining question, can they both claim first descent?

    That HAS to be a couple of mags, doesn't it? Funny stuff. I wonder if they only had to get one permit?

    I think it would be hard to do on anything but longboards. That is, unless, they're into the Father Nelson stance.

    I thought the obvious segue would be tele, but then I found this in the comments on TAY from the OP,

    Glad people are enjoying it,

    I'll try and answer what I can -

    Keg- Was our dear friend Roger hailing from the streets of Georgetown brewery,

    There will be a follow-up video to recap on the love story that brought two wildly amature skiers together to form a unity that was far greater than each could have accomplished individually, covering the lengthy processing of finding such a partner and the hardships the relationships endured that ultimately strengthened the bond between us. ( with Banff in our site - though if anyone knows about how music licensing works for these things please PM me)

    If you are looking for a tandem partner of your own, I highly recommend online apps such as " Base Grinder" "OkStupid" or "T-Harmony"

    While the offer for Tele is quite appealing, I'm thinking the Leg crossing, thigh humping Tandem Splitboard is the clear next step in this progression.
