"skouch" rides of death

Yes, This is a couch on ski's. Yes, the skouch is being pulled downhill by a snowmachine at 40 mph. Yes, this is me screaming. Yes,there was a large thicket of tree's that forced you to bail off before the bottom. Yes, I'm wearing a one piece 80's snowsuit. Yes, this was more dangerous than a Jack Bauer anti-terrorist mission.Yes, Ashley got a concussion. Yes,I got a swollen ankle and tweaked knee. Yes, the couch chomped Wyatts legs almost completely off. Yes, Todd forgot to bail and incured the wrath of the trees. And yes, we are redneck.
