Tuesday night joyride

After dinner Emmett grabs the keys to the truck, terrorizes the neighbourhood, and very nearly turns his dad into a statistic.

Chinook

When the warm wind blows in Emmett's town, the sky turns to this...

and ushers in cycling season by turning Emmett's halfpipe from this...

...to this.

Egged on by an octogenarian

The gauntlet having been thrown down by an eightysomething ski buddy of his dad's, Emmett takes advantage of a March snowstorm and hurtles himself into the halfpipe three doors down.

What a difference a year makes.
