That thing will be amazing.

This is embarrassing but I've lived in Arizona since 1988 and haven't visited the Grand Canyon.

I'd do a Backside 50-50 Grind going into a Casper Slide, followed by a sick Wallride, an Ollie Frontside Pop-Shove-it and a Disco Finger Flip.

Yeah, that's how I'd make it my own.

I went on a tour bus from Tucson. We also saw Montezuma's Castle (cliff dwellings), which was cool.


There is no way I would walk on a glass bridge, not even if it were so low that it was suspended between two student desks. My fear of heights is quite strong.

you guys ! glass can be incredibly strong, blast resistant, bullet proof, fire resistant etc. i've walked on many glass bridges in places like shopping centres, its no big deal. actually, i reckon that because of a psychological
problem with glass, it is often over engineered, so a glass bridge is likely to be stronger.

Maybe it'll make the glass sing.

If I went there I probably would, but I'd be a little worried obviously.

Don't feel bad. I live in California and I've never been in a drum circle.

If it helps, chemically speaking, glass can be treated as a supercooled liquid... but don't let that worry you.
