I should probably filter them out. Simon: Who says you need a jetpack for that speed! :)

Didn't help that we were ploughing through large mounds of powder most of the time though! Next time definitely warrants a bit more than 30 sit-ups as pre-holiday training! :) (Yes, this is a new design (well a modified template from elsewhere), and a different blogging engine. After much procrastination I decided to use Wordpress) As predicted, my fitness was pretty poor - was aching for almost a week after coming back!

With a jetpack? <strong><a href="http://www.sportsdo.net/ActivityView.aspx?sid=21143" rel="nofollow">Max speed : 496.44 mph</a></strong> *Googles the speed of sound*... Not quite, but I'm still impressed. Hang on a second… you were snowboarding? With a jetpack? Max speed : 496.44 mph *Googles the speed of sound*… Not quite, but I’m still impressed.

I remember you were worried before you left, how did the fitness stand up to the physical assault of boarding every day? (Is this design new? I like.) Nice work!

Shame the 3d view isn't working but the presentation of the tracks and data looks pretty cool though. OK, they let me in and I uploaded my tracks here: http://www.sportsdo.net/urbanwide.
