    That is more than impressive, that is some kind of Ripley’s stuff. I don’t know what the official fastest time is but, in my book you guys were bookin’. Super pics as well. Next time if you can, get a picture showing down pipeline! That would be awesome. As well as looking down from the top of the lip at Tux. Just plain Kool! Thanx

    I hiked the GG trail last week and looked up Pipeline… We’ve had so little rain recently that the run is completely dry! Imagine Pipeline without an ice bulge :-o

    This trip is beyond absurd. I keep coming back to it as summer creeps nearer… and I keep laughing my a$$ off. The entire thing reeks of horrible wasabi peas (I thought were candy that I bought for nourishment and nearly vomed each time I ate), sweaty socks, and cog smoke.

    Completely hilarious.
