A Couple of Headbanger’s Balls

I wanted to go to Calero today but it was too hot. My second choice was Skeggs but I couldn't get out of the house so I had to settle for a poor man's Skeggs - Waterdog. Even then I had to wait until it cool down a little.

I decided to do Headbanger's Ball twice. I'm always looser, smoother, flowier, and faster the second time around.

Maybe I'll do a Friends of Headbanger's Ball one day. Not really sure what counts as a way to the top of it. If I just count the dirt ways, I guess that would be 3 and if you really wanted to stretch the definition, 4 if you climbed Marburger.
