I came across an online copy of my high school yearbook from my Junior year of High school.

On page 2 & 3, that's me on the Hydroslide during the summer of 1980. I graduated HS in 1982

Ray, I'm guessing your knees don't go for that $h!+ now any more than mine do. Great picture, but add a few more laps around the sun and what was fun is now torture. Thanks for sharing.

Great pic! I have a few like this as well from the late 80s. I still have my Hydroslide too, although it has been retired to hanging on the wall for quite a few years now. :D

I still Hydroslide a few times a year, and I can still throw a spray like that. But I have to take a break a lot sooner. I no longer take it over ski jumps anymore...back can't handle that anymore.
