Title: 1000 foot Air!!!
Post by: Stodgy on February 11, 2006, 02:33 AM: Hello chaps

Got my highest air ever today and just had to share! What a rush! :daumenhoch:

1000' dangling over the top of Stratosphere in Las Vegas. :D

Wasn't gonna do it, as I absolutely hate heights, but as Hoffman says; "Sometimes you just gotta fly the fook it flag!"

we had a drink in the bar at the top and when the rides are going the whole place shakes and that's extreme enough for me.

If only I could find them dude! No one seems to know where they are...I've asked the guys at the bike shops, the concerge, the bloke at the Vans shop...they just think I'm weird for asking?! :wtf:

BTW, the bike shops are shite in Las Vegas...think Halfords. Parts are reasonable, but complete bikes (Haro, Hoffman, Redline, etc) are the same price as in the UK. But, have found a couple of old school bits.

Oh well, flying back tomorrow, so probably won't get round to finding those elusive skateparks as i've got loads to do today. :( Should have done more research before I came over. Perhaps Lee can find 'em when he goes?

Cheers
Dave

Didn't do the drop-off coaster on top, just the one at NY NY. And, yep, the Vans shop got a beating!
