The art of "Mountain Bumming" is one which has been passed down from generation to generation of mountaineers. This sport is not all about the speed as some of you have been lead to believe, oh no, getting down the mountain is not the sole goal of people in this profession. This is about tactical precision and accuracy. The art in taking out ones opponent is of much better use than firing yourself down the steepest slope you find. The possibilities of broken legs, sprains, sudden death and the like are not only endless, but also very likely. True gamers will use their point system to kick their opponents asses (literally) stearing themselves into the offender and veering them of course, most likely into a hole, ditch, or rock of some kind. Leaving the contestant to enjoy their own bumming ride, while still doing the skillful tricks of the trade on the leisurely ride downwards.

When you've been in a box the size of a child's coffin all day and your legs have been squashed down to the size of your pinky finger, when your abs are burning, your arms are literally ready to fall off and someone tells you you've got to capsize, is it time to rethink your college course?

When your feet are killing you with every step you take, your calf muscles are popping out the back of your legs and your so cold you can't tell it that's rain or snot running down your lip, is it time to rethink your college course?

When you've been running around the woods like a blue arsed fly for the whole day, your convinced someone's strapped weights to your ankles and you can't find the fucking marker thats supposed to be in the middle of this huge depression, then is it time to rethink your college course?

When the wanker at Petersburg gives you a kiddies wetsuit that wouldn't fit your newborn cousin, when trying to pull the boat means pulling the arms off yourself and when keeping your hands in the water is warmer than trying to stay dry, is it time to rethink your college course?

When not caring about tying the right knots is not caring about someone's life, when you just don't fucking understand what "use the friction in your feet" means, when looking up is just like looking the length of the Burren and when falling for the tenth time means one more failed attempt, is it time to rethink your college course?

When being clastrophobic is a death sentence, when being afraid of the dark is the worst fear you've ever faced, when you've hit your head off one of those stalac mite/lite thingys three times already, when your boots are so full of water your body begins to heat it instead of you, is it time to rethink your college course?

When holding the bow steady feels like your holding the weight of the world in the palm of your hand, when you just can't find the magic spot under your chin and when some dickhead has fucked with your sights yet again, is it time to rethink your college course?

When you take home half the outdoors under your nails, when the inside of your room has as many trees as the outside, and when your convinced there's something foreign living in your bed, is it time to rethink your college course?

When you look at professionals in this career path working in bars in the winter, when you know you'll never have enough money to repay that loan, when it looks like every family member you have is supporting you again this year, is it time to rethink your college course?

When the term "gorge walking" means throwing yourself off the highest point of a cliff into waterfalls, when "sailing" means jumping from one boat to the other, when "orienteering" is jumping out of anywhere and everywhere to scare the shit out of your friends, when "archery" means shooting whoever is stupid enough to fuck with you while you've got a bow in your hand in the ass, when "hillwalking" is racing down the steepest slopes on your ass, when "kayaking" is capsizing your friend "accidently" on purpose, when "rock climbing" means getting to play at being spiderman, when working at this means having the most fun every day for the rest of your life, its never time to rethink what you do.
