Taking flight ..well you just have to see this clip..

I'm still smiling from all the fun and laughter I had while participating in a  Special  Edition Giant Snail Race put on by RacerX Gullwing and his crew to help raise money for Relay For Life in SL on Saturday.  I have raced once before in one of the regular races which are normally giant snails but this one was with Tiny Giant Snails (about the size of a typical avatar in SL) but to be honest I  had a little difficulty steering that Huge Snail Avatar around the  course.


As soon as I tried on my mini snail (and promptly had a Live n Kickin Flag added by Baldi McMillan (who happens to also be my SL next door neighbor) Thank Yoou Baldi.  I was ready to race!  This race turned out to be absolute chaos for me and Treet TV's Cameras which you'll see in the clip below.  I would attribute it mostly to sim lag as there were way more people in the sims than the Linden Labs servers could handle gracefully.


At one point I fell off one of the  rides and I guess the build was at a high altitude in SL and  I found my snail/self falling from above 2000 meters below to what I believe was some kind of Music Event that was going on below us where I briefly saw Harrie Skjellerup (organizer of The Originals) in front of me before a freind teleported me back to the Snail Race..  


Anyway.. this 2 min clip below shows some of the madness of the race  with a priceless shot of one of the boats overloaded with snails  appearing to fly through the forest and off into space.. You gotta love Second Life Sim crossings!  


Watch with the Audio on this is pretty funny..
