This is why I need a helmetcam!

My first attempt at scootering with dogs, holy crap is it ever freaky!!! I felt way more outta control than I do when I bikejor on the mountain bike. But, not surprisingly - the lack of control was totally exciting and appealing to me!! If there is a chance I'm going to wipe out or risk bodily harm, I seem to be totally up for it!

If there weren't so many anthills on our trails, I'd be getting a scooter I think. The low clearance on the scooter would have me tumbling all over the meadow.


Compare that chaotic ride with Dave's nice run in with the dogs, looking good eh!?? Of course, he didn't have a camera in hand, so steering with TWO hands is much easier... :)



Heather-the-handler (on this day) jumps into action!


Keno, in front, we've decided is Harris' twin!


The happy family, minus the four new little furry beings.


My awesome photo during our turnaround. They turn around real good!


And we're off!!!! A blur of the houndy husky and the bouvier.

This weekend is supposed to be lovely! So in between playing with the dogs and cleaning up the neverending POOP, I'll be staining the deck and the new outhouse! However I'm also battling an annoying cold so I might just be laid up on the couch with kleenex stuffed up my nose trying to keep the phlegm at bay... :)

Your laugh is priceless Stacie... is sound like the cackle of an speed junkie....I have heard that laugh before on your 5 dog skijor wipeoput! I think ALL your friends need to pitch in for a helmet cam just to prevent an injury..or is the possiblitly of bodily harm why you cackle so?

Definitely looks like something I'd put on my life's "to do" list. Must have been a blast.

Thank god there was a helmet involved!! As Dr Couz says (on the most recent post no less): No Bike helmets: Why turn a potentially minor injury into a potentially major one? Helmet + Camera + Duct Tape (or "Dyke tape" remember that?) = helmet cam... dorky, but functional is all the rage
