Thunder Leap Flyer

A few years back, my friend Lord Hayden and I started an event called the Thunder Jet. The original Thunder Jet race was a time trial which involved drinking a beer, riding a kid's bike with 16" wheels around a course, and drinking a second beer. Fastest time wins.

The Thunder Jet soon became a beer-soaked bike riding tradition, with a coveted orange jersey that passed to each new champion (the orange jersey has never been washed).

Each race has its own flavor, from the Thunder Joust which featured PVC lances to Thunder Pitfall, which featured a rope swing and log obstacles.















This Friday is Thunder Leap, hosted by a couple of gents named Sketch Brah and Ruckus. The ammunition looks ominous.
