本日帰国する画家の二人。午後遅いフライトなので、朝最後にもう一度山へ。完全に皆勤賞を狙っている。
blue sky upper, gloomy down.
上は青空だけど、下はモヤモヤしていた。いつもとは違う景色。
we took SR500 and CL450.
本日のオートバイはSRとホンダの宗ちゃん号。
no way!
え、まさか？
yes way! down hill. at least 30mph.
帰りのダウン・ヒルで30マイルは出ていたと思う。
they went down all the way without falling over.
誰も転ばず下までグライドして行った若人達。見事！

Downhill longboards, or speedboards, are used for riding down hills as fast as possible and keeping the board under control. These boards are usually 95–110 cm (35 – 44 inches) long, featuring wheel bases from 28-35 inches, and very stiff to improve stability. One usually bends his/her knees in order not to "speed wobble". It is also very common to use these boards for free-riding. The trucks are often at the far ends of the board to maximize the wheelbase, but sometimes closer together to allow for easier maneuvering on more technical roads. A longer distance between the front and rear wheels, known as the wheelbase, will increase stability, while a shorter wheelbase will decrease the board's turning radius and decrease stability. In order to lower the center of gravity, downhill longboards sometimes feature a lowered platform. The deck may be mounted below the baseplate of the trucks (drop-through configuration), by the shape of the deck itself (dropped-deck) or both (double-drop). These styles of boards were first produced commercially by Jody Willcock and Ian Comishin (Kebbek Skateboards) of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada, although skaters had been cutting drop-through holes in their decks long before.
