Practice went well today. It started off hairy, because our original site was unavailable because they are having a 1200 person beach volleyball tournament there. The Santa Rosa Mall came through and let us use their parking lot. Only problem is, they sealed the lot with that black sealer shit, and it's as slick a an ice rink. It took a while to learn how to use the surface, but after a few rather spectacular crashes it came together. One pattern, the Vandy Pro was giving me fits, but I finally worked that out too.
There are over 2000 cones here. KenR mounted this cool powered gimbel with a GoPro camera to my crash guard when I ran through one of the precision patterns. The video turned out great. As soon as I get a copy I'll post it up. The gimbel keeps the camera steady and level.
