I remember we talked about some old guy saying he ran it.
Anybody know anything? I'm sure Tao ran it, but did he run Landslide as well?
Rob?

Don't know if I'll ever run that one, Dave. I like class FUN. Jeremy's run is impressive, but it's peakin out my scary meter a little too much right now, bro. Maybe one day.

Right on Jeremy! That's awrsome!!
Yup, Bret is right. I know Chris Joose has run it, and heard a few others have. Still it is a rare event indeed. Much much more rare than Lanslide.
Kick ass Jeremy! Wish I woulda been there to witness it!

--yeah, its not like it's over after sticking the boof and exiting the room of doom zone: the run out has two drops each of which would be gnarly by themselves.
What was the stick reading?
