The Great Wall Toboggan!

After a gorgeous walk on the Great Wall in China, we took the exciting route down - TOBOGGAN!
For those interested in how fast this thing really goes: The first part of the video is real time speed, then it switches to 1.7x speed, then (at about the 1:30min mark)it switches back to real time (this is the best section to watch to see how fast I really got this thing), then it finishes in 1.7x speed again. The music is by the Chinese band, Power Station

Nice. If only it were really that fast! Just be thankful you weren't sitting behind some scared-ass tourist who rode her brake all the way down.

Actually it is regular speed, then 1.7 (or so) speed, then back to regular speed, and finishing with the 1.7 speed (or so). At the 1:15 mark is the best real time section.

Anyhoo, thanks for the compliment on the music. I picked up several CD's while there not knowing at all how they sounded, but have found many a usable tracks for the video of the trip. Ahhhh memories....
